Match Thread Middlesbrough (a), 3rd August 2013

[londonfox]

Not realise Jeff Schlupp was French I thought he was from Ghana

I thought he was from Germany

 

[Jenks]

Saved by Kasper once more. Back three letting us down.

 

[Blaarev]

Plan A was obviously a 0-0 draw. Plan B is to hope for a peno.

You skipped the pool plan?

 

[Motown Fox]

I thought he was from Germany

Ture to Ghanaian parents

Half time.First match.Truly uninspiring :icon_roll

 

[Chrysalis]

A team built to not concede sloppy goals and to keep things tight go down a goal early. The two players most likely to provide a spark are 1. In the stand and 2. On the bench.

Well arsed off with this already.

Grumble grumble.

are you surprised tho?

I thnik the only reason pearson is still manager is we couldnt afford to replace him.

 

[drew]

If Nugent isn't match fit he'd be better off starting, running himself into the ground and substituted rather than coming on as sub.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

All I keep hearing on the radio is how St Ledger is gifting them chances.

 

[Motown Fox]

The fans venting their anger now. Rubbish they reckon

Wish I hadn't bothered coming.....

Can't understand it's the first game of the season and they produce such inept performance...

 

[Miles Away]

Wouldn't worry to much about St Ledger, he will pick up a soft tissue injury that he battles for months soon enough.

 

[Brown Nose]

Well, the first half didn't sound too good. Whitbread out long term, St.Ledger dreadful, midfield absent, nothing up front. As was often the case last season, thank goodness for Schmeichel against a poor Boro side.

Wrong team, wrong approach, crowd turning on NP already. It's even earlier than I expected. Well said that fan on RL just now!!

 

[Lako42]

Its an affliction that has all Leicester fans in its grasp, blind, stupid hope.

Cant take another half that boring though so the plan is back on

What did he say?

He even did that against Vale.

 

[M17TT C]

Bad traffic on Groby Road?

 

[Cate Fox]

Bad traffic on Groby Road?

erm... what does this relate to?

 

[Brown Nose]

What did he say?

Slated the display, the negative formation and how awful NP was and that he needed sacking ASAP. A rare bit of sense allowed on the air. In true RL fashion, they then followed this interview up with a conversation with some kid who wondered why Chris Wood wasn't even on the bench. Cue awkward moment.

Also, Paul Walsh on Sky reckons City are very disappointing. He does appear to be struggling to stay awake though.

Sense as in it's more ridiculous negativity after 45 minutes of a season and asking for something that would add further financial burden to the club, or sense because he agrees with your thinking? I know which mymoney is on.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Leicester penalty appeals not given.

 

[Motown Fox]

Drinkwater brought down but NO penalty
