M'boro -v- Sheff Utd

[pipes]

Anyone else watching this?

Didn't realise Yeates had signed for Boro, he's playing very well and commentators on Sky are raving about him

0-0 at the moment, 40mins gone

Who the **** is Keith Treacy and why do Sheff Utd have someone wearing the number 2 playing as a striker?


Im not happy.

No idea about Treacy apart from being a former Blackburn player. And no idea about the no.2.

2 former City goalkeepers in Bunn and Coyne playing

Why not?

I remember when squad numbers first came in Charlton's squad were numbered in alphabetical order, and the number 1 was an outfield player.

FT 0-0. Enthralling

How did Lita play :icon_wink

Backed 'Boro, first footy bet of the season lost :icon_sad:

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Interesting game, i thought Middlesbrough looked good individually, particularly Johnson, but they played far too patiently to really create much. Also, they played a high defensive line, and did look very vulnerable on the break, they may have soem of the best players, but i couldnt see them challenging for the title on that performance, i think, particuarly at home they will lose too many 1-0 from teams hitting them on the counter in "smash and grab" style wins.

Hard to judge Sheff Utd, as im sure theyd play much more attackingly at home, they did look very organised however, and very strong defensively, looked like they play very direct through-balls as they seemed to lack flair though.

I thought these were two very average sides along with WBA and Newcastle. Newcastle looked very fragile mentally. :icon_conf

That's something you can tell from one game where they went behind and got a point against what is widely accepted to be one of the league's better sides?

Yes.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Yes.

Then you must be the world's highest-paid and most sought-after psychoanalyst with quick-fire diagnoses like that. You're a genius, being able to assess people's mental state simply via the medium of television, even drawing conclusions that appear to be contrary to the evidence. Well done sir

Aren't you doing exactly the same thing as you appear to be criticising me for doing? Generally you might find a little less dogmatism helpful. :icon_wink

Not understanding this one chap. I'm not the one who appears to be claiming to have the inside track on the mental state of an entire squad of professional footballers whom I've never met. They appeared to do their job sufficiently yesterday. That doesn't mean they're ice cold barbarians ready to rape and pillage their way through this league, but it certainly doesn't suggest to me that they're fragile.

All this from a 1-1 draw involving two teams we don't care about

The c*nt that just scored against us

 

[highland fox]

Boro about to sell Tuncay and Huth to Stoke for a combined fee of 11 million,give them a bit of spending power

Over priced

 

[Harbro-Fox]

I think Tuncay is a quality player and Huth ain't bad for 11miliion that is good businees from Stoke.

 

[highland fox]

Boro will win the League,get your gold on them
