They weren’t exactly top players, for them of course, but in world football they weren’t. Juninho was for example was no better than Kinkladze. Ravanelli was a good striker, but not on a par with Shearer and Emerson was bang average I thought. They did play some canny stuff mind. Juninho was a ridiculous signing. Was a young kid already playing for Brazil a year after USA 94, and he went to Boro. Was way above the level & reputation of Kinkladze at the time they joined their clubs. Aye, but in terms of his performances for Boro, he was no world-star, none of them were. Ravanelli was underrated in Italy, he was allowed to leave Juventus for a reason. He was a goalscorer, but nit a top player like a Shearer for example. Juninho was the epitome of hype back in the day, a MOTD highlights player. My mate is a 30 + year season ticket holder at Boro, a former youth player of theirs and a former director and he says he would regularly disappoint, they all would. Didn’t Ravanelli dry up goals wise after a great start? Ravanelli got 31 goals in all competitions that season

Cancel the Euros? Or move that to the winter too? Play it in September/October or whenever, aye

Play this season as long as it takes IMO. Start next season in January if you have to and keep it like that till after the World Cup

Didn't realise just how important Maja was for them until I watched the doc. Clips make him look like Ronaldo

Think Souness is just still pissed off about Atletico beating Liverpool

Eto'o Pique (if that counts, didn't start for Man Utd did he?) Toni Kroos

Neebody cared when Germany did it

Guess who wins again

Have no money and Stephen Kenny's contract is starting the 1st of August

It's down to the owners/chairmen really though isn't it? Like Bob down the factory isn't voluntarily taking 80% of his wage. Its utterly reprehensible behaviour when owners of football clubs hit the lowest paid workers the hardest though and if players see that going on at their club they should speak out

This whole clip is hilarious but do Sunderland really play The Apprentice theme song as the entrance music?

Second Captains did an episode on this on their podcast yesterday if anyone's interested

Barca's PR team is absolutely horrendous

Really sorry lads, won't be able to make this tonight

Will play

Cooking something new with Steve Bruce. Don't believe there is anything that Steve Bruce hasn't already eaten

Aye

Great doc that, very sad really

Keepers were terrible back in the day

Harper Tiote

That would have been disallowed for handball today mind

Tiote was class

Barton has been awful in this game

If only there was some kind of financial rules in place to restrict them from spending so much of their revenue on wages
