Football

Agreed, pretty slow today all over around.

Dreadful English football on display tonight. Especially Spurs.

anyone else have £20 on a floodlight failure ? £$£$£$£$£$£$£ :-)

Bamford wants to stay on at 'Boro until the end of the season. Lets hope he sticks it to Derby tomorrow.

Liverpool legend Fernando Torres available on loan next month apparently. What are the odds?

I feel pretty sad for Nando, I really, really wanted him to do well for us... It's a shame...

He's the sort of player that can get a goal from nothing. I think McClaren has said in the build up to tomorrows game that he wanted him back at Derby, but he wanted to play Centre Forward. Funnily enough, he's now playing out on the right for your lot.

Tomorrow will be our toughest game of the season so far, but I also thought that about Watford and Wolves and we dispatched those sides simply enough. I'm hoping for an open attacking approach from Boro, because we don't play well against physical sides who park the bus, like Chelsea.

Fair play to Chelsea.

Not 'til 2017 tho', IIRC...

We've have Adomah on the right most of the season. I think Bamford will be playing at 10 like he did against Milwall. Being at home I'm hoping we set out to try to win the game but as you say, toughest game of the season.

Outrageous that all clubs don't do this considering what the players get paid. In fact I'm amazed the players don't club together the money to do it - its like change found in the sofa for them.

Yeah but they went from being community clubs to businesses, depressing but not surprising...

I fully expect Liverpool to finally turn up and beat us 2-1 on Sunday as well.

As an armchair fan, Im really looking forward to this Friday night action. It's long overdue

Derby >>>>>>>>

Thank fuck that is over. If we play the same against Chelsea on Tuesday then there will be many lols for Clive and Joe.

One lives in hope... I'll bring some dwarf-sized tissues...

Nice to see Bamford doing the business against Derby, even though he is a turncoat.

I knew there was no way back after McClaren brought on Leon Best at half time.

He's the Best you had on the bench.

Come on, Chelsea, three points please...

You gonna be in London this week, @jaw?

If only Joe. Off to Beirut next week.
Will have to meet up with b&d on the 16th to raise a jar or two.

Did @Oliver Schick hack your account?

@jaw - it's a date.

dst's a happy boy tonight
