    Unofficial Badge Vote

    Thanks - it took me a while :LOL: I think a simple updated version of the 86 badge is the way to go.

    Unofficial Badge Vote

    Well, here's my effort. Haven't used Photoshop for years really, but I'd like something like this:

    Matt Crooks

    I would be very disappointed to see Matt Crooks leave unless someone wants to pay silly money, which isn't going to happen. He scores goals, gets assists, has great movement around the box. Accomplished finisher with his feet and in the air. Great character and leader in the squad, who gets the...

    Banning the Palestinian flag

    The death of civilians is always tragic. However I have little sympathy for the terrorists that surround Israel. The history is long and complex, and Israel has done wrong at times, but it has also bent over backwards on numerous occasions to accommodate their demands, and the terrorists have...

    New home shirt poll

    Generic, boring and mismatched. If you are having blue on the sleeves and collar (and why would MFC want to do that?), then at least have them match. I thought last season's bland afterthought was bad. (And it was). What are Errea/MFC thinking? It's hard to come up with a kit this bad. As usual...

    What is the best thing you have won in a competition?

    A football signed by the 99-00 Boro squad. It's up in the loft somewhere.

    Terrell Agyemang

    Looks great this lad, exactly what we need.

    The end?

    It's entirely possible Putin didn't know the half of it. We have to remember that Putin is at the head of a communist apparatus. In Management theory the characteristics of pathological work systems and environments are well documented. In a pathological system every layer of management is...

    Steffen: Keep or Dump?

    I would keep Steffen if the price is right. He is a great character, confident and very important to Carrick's style of play. I don't think goalkeepers who can play out as well as he does grow on trees, and most of them are found in the premier league. The soft goals are annoying though, he is...

    Zack Steffen

    Fantastic to see this, I really hope we can get him back, he is indeed perfect for Carrick's style of play. His save at Gyokeres feet last night was superb as well.

    Their time wasting was off the scale

    Spot on. They deserved the win, but the paying public deserves competence and fairness from officials. Last night's time wasting had a significant impact on the flow of the game.

    Absolutely sick of this group of players

    It's true that some people didn't rate him, imho they were clueless. Our performances since he left certainly suggest he was a hugely important player for us and a lot of people on here and the gazette etc pointed out that it was terrible business. I think people could certainly have made a case...

    Absolutely sick of this group of players

    It's a real concern, and has been to me for ages. The spine, and having players with leadership and fight is huge in this division. I was amazed when Warnock didn't sign an Ayala type at centre back, then Wilder didn't do it either. We still haven't replaced Ayala's dominance in both boxes and...

    First thing you do as a new manager...

    This is my worry too. Carrick doesn't know the Champo and needs someone who does. I'm all for Woodgate working with the academy, but influencing Carrick in games? God help us.

    Kieron Scott

    Interesting, you've made me look at the match reports: Sheffield United 4-1 Boro - Outclassed by a better side on the day Millwall 0-0 Boro - Battling point after 3 away defeats Birmingham 0-2 Boro - Solid performance, back in the top 6 Peterborough 0-4 Boro - Comprehensive away win against a...

    Leadbitter

    I am getting a bit forgetful, but I'm pretty sure JW didn't in fact finish the season and Steve Gibson had to reach for the Batphone to ask Neil to come up and save the day?

    Carricks press conference 3pm

    I don't think Woody has nothing to offer, of course he does. He played at Real Madrid for a reason, and he's a Boro fan. I'd have him working with the academy set up all day long. But we are 4th bottom right now bringing in a manager with no experience who has played all his football at the top...

    Does anyone else accept we are in a relegation battle?

    Like it or not we are indeed in one at the moment, because we are right down there. I'm excited about Carrick, but definitely concerned about the short term. We need a realistic approach to moving away from the bottom of the table, and playing like Man Utd isn't it. My worry is that playing like...

    Carricks press conference 3pm

    Because as manager he was undoubtedly taking an average Champo squad into league 1. He tried to implement a style of play that the squad at his disposal was obviously incapable of playing, and then just stuck with it as the team looked increasingly lost and confused. I saw no evidence of him...

    Carricks press conference 3pm

    Well, having watched that I am excited about Michael Carrick. He is obviously delighted to be here and I thought he spoke very well. It was also great to hear from Kieran Scott. I was really disappointed that it didn't work out with Wilder, but reading between the lines Wilder was the cause of...
