    Places you ended up living but never thought you would??

    Taking inspiration from the other thread, about places you thought you might visit but probably never will, got me thinking about places you end up living that you probably never imagined growing up. I've been living in Bermuda for about two years, returning to the UK (London or Guisborough)...

    Ajax Sales

    Just read that Ajax have agreed to sell Mohammed Kudus to West Ham for 38M plus add ons. Looking at transfer market, they have made a hell of a lot of money from sales in the last 4 or 5 years (mainly to English clubs). They must be second only to Benfica for big money sales, although Brighton...

    Man City and the way they sell their young players

    I know a lot of people don’t like City but the way they run their recruitment (buying and selling) must be amongst if not the best in elite football. They seem to have sold a ton of young players in the last few years for pretty decent money. Rather than like other clubs (most notably Chelsea)...

    Sunderland's Transfer Policy?

    I see they have signed a PSV reserve (B team player) to go along with all the other players no-one has heard of. Probably wouldn't want us to go down that route, need a mixture of proven and players with potential. I guess it only needs one or two of these to come off, for it to be effective.

    How many points for the play-offs?

    Just looked at the table now and think 73 (two more wins) will definitely get you there. We should do that (big disappointment if not). However 71 might just do it as well. Main thing is to get back playing well and being confident going into them. Looking at the last few games, Huddersfield...

    ...

    He's having a hell of a season at Reims. Scored a hat-trick today and is leading scorer in ligue 1. Something like 15 or 16 goals in 21 games. Think he will be a good addition for Arsenal next year. Showed promise in his loan spell at Boro last season, but looked a bit weak and easily knocked...

    Japanese guy still playing 'professionally' at nearly 56!

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/64488275 Hope for all us over 50s! However I gave up playing 5 a side a few years after rupturing my achilles, mid to late 40s. Kudos to this guy for still being fit enough to play.

    Nice touch from Brighton - Welcome back Alexis Mac Allister

    Saw this on the BBC sport website. Warm welcome back to Brighton. Can only make him feel extra special. I guess we'll see him on Saturday for his first game back.

    Napoli - best Italian team for a while

    I’ve watched a few of their games on BT sport and they are the first Italian team in ages that i like to watch. I know they weren’t great against Liverpool but they play like a British team - high press, one twos moving the ball forward quickly. Currently leading Serie A by quite a few points...

    Oli McBurnie stamp

    Having not read up much or seen the video on this, I wondered why he had been charged with assault after their play-off defeat to Notts Forest. I was just expecting to see him waving his arms about at some random fans, but having now seen the albeit brief video, he does look like he put the...

    How will we get on before the end of the transfer window?

    With signings being slow to materialise and quite a tough schedule, how do you think we will get on if we have to stick with our current team for most of August? WBA (H) - Draw QPR (A) Sheff Utd (H|) Read (A) Swan (H) Watf (A) Without reinforcements (particularly upfront), I think we will...

    Jacob Greaves

    I know strikers are rightly our no. 1 priority but I wonder if this link is dead yet, with him not currently signing a new contract. I know he's theoretically got two years left (with Hull having the option of triggering an extra year), and therefore in a fairly strong bargaining position. I...

    Antonee Robinson - Card trick

    I'm sure a lot of people have seen this already, but great stuff from the Fulham player. As someone said on twitter, this will be the best performance from a Fulham player this season!! https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19283750/antonee-robinson-magic-trick-fulham/

    Joe Gibson signs new contract

    Good news. From the clips you see of the U23s, Gibson looks the stand out player and only one capable of stepping up to the first team. Hopefully he gets a loan to a league 1 or 2 team next year. https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/joe-gibson-signs-new-boro-contract

    John Lundstrom

    There was a bit of talk about us potentially being in for him in January when he was out of the Rangers first team. Shame he got back in when Gerrard left and van bronkhurst took over. Would have been a great midfield addition. Strong, powerful and a great engine.

    Maradona's hand of god shirt sold for 7 million

    Amazing really. Steve Hodge wasn't originally going to sell it, but I guess as in any walk of life, money talks. I've never really understood the sporting/fan memorabilia world, but people obviously are willing to spend fortunes on famous peoples things (more so when they are no longer with us)...

    Same teams going up and down!

    With Bournemouth and Fulham going back up and Norwich and Watford going down, it shows just how hard it is to get in the prem against recently relegated teams and how tough it is to stay up. Add in Sheff Utd who are in the play-off picture, the championship is becoming a bit of a closed shop...

    Who thinks it could be the Luton game rather than Sheff Utd that decides our fate?

    I have a feeling the Luton vs Reading game will be the one that decides our fate. Can imagine it being 0-0 or something for a long time and we are sweating on this result till the 98th minute or something, whilst we have done our part and beaten Preston 2-0???

    What's so attractive about Burnley?

    Been thinking about this and can't see why Wilder would want to swap Burnley for Boro apart from money. Do you think he has been offered a massive bonus to either keep them up or get promoted next year if they are relegated. They need a massive amount of money spending on them whether they stay...

    Who knew Richard Liburd was Jermaine Jenas’s cousin?

    Watching the match on the telly, Jenas casually dropped in that he used to cone to a lot of Boro matches at AP, as Richard Liburd was his cousin. Going back to the Lennie Lawrence days. Totally never knew that. Wonder what other family relationships there are football wise that you never knew...
