Stray Mackem Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Is this the mackems 4th straight relegation battle? Their season ticket holders must be stupider than ours. Aye, it's f**king bleak. Only our annual highlighting of Pardew's inept tactical nous has kept us going. We don't even have that now :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hithere Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Obviously he knows more about them than I do, but I disagree with a lot of that. Find it staggering how they don't want him gone, every time I've seen them lately they park the (Gus) bus, it must be horrible to be a fan of them. It's not like he hasn't had any money to spend either, signed plenty of players , most who seem to be a bit gash. He signed Buckley, Bridcutt, Van Aanholt for a combined circa £7m. The rest of his signings have been on frees or loans. Two of them look OK. Buckley is pretty gash. To say he's spent money is bollocks. In comparison to the rest of the league, probably Burnley aside he's had next to nothing. I'm not saying he's not making mistakes, and the football is pretty dire, without him we'd be down by now though. Forgot about Rodwell... Probably because he's never fit. Poyet out Scocco as well for around £3-4m Wasn't he a loan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 North East football is so fucking awful right now, the highlight has been Blyth Spartans almost beating Birmingham. For the three big clubs in the area, one of them is just existing as an advertising hoarding for it's owner, another is perennially fighting to stay in the league with dull unimaginative "try not to lose" tactics. The third has been in the wasteland of the championship long enough to have been forgotten about by the majority of football fans. The people in the area deserve better than what we are served up, a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Boro seem to have got their house in order tbf.

I can't really remember everyone's attitude towards them when they were last a threat. All from their side as we are the closest thing they have to a derby. Some good games in the past though - Asprilla's debut was class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gallowgate_pete Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Personally, I rate a match v the smoggies ahead of most fixtures but way behind the mackems derby and games against Man United, Liverpool and, latterly, Chelsea. Rivalry seemed to pick up a bit when they actually spent a bit of time in the PL. Like sempuki has said, generally good memories - Asprilla, 4-1 away under Sir Bobby, even the 3-1 in the relegation season felt pretty good at the time. I also have a close mate who is a Boro fan so it might be I rate the game higher than average, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallowgate_pete Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I always wind my boro supporting mate up by saying I like to see them do well Yep, been really easy to do the last few years as the most they've ever seemed to string together is two or three wins They're better this season, mind - though I'm not sure they'll come up automatically. The others - Derby, Ipswich, Bournemouth - score more goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Signing a 32 year old striker who has been heavily reliant on his pace on a 3.5 year deal; what could possibly go wrong? He'll still score against us like, but dear me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 He'll keep them up without a doubt imo for the next two seasons. Worth giving him the wages and extra 2 year deal for that reason alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
