I still don't understand why England manager by a former Boro player and manager played two warm up games at Middlesbrough though........ they could have played at any premier league stadium and instead chose the riverside. Think the original plan was to play one there and one at Newcastle but due to covid restrictions with the national teams that wasn't possible.

Guest Jack the Hat Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 League position doesn't dictate whether you are massive or not. We are massive just badly run for 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that’s massive about us is the massive disparity in League position, Commercial Revenue, Trophies, Standard of Facilities, Standard of Stadium, and global Fanbase between us and Massive clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmJimmers Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Some of our fans used to boo him because he didn't run around a lot, and therefore wasn't good enough. Ended up playing half of his career in the PL, whilst we bounced around the Championship and L1. Played up front a few games for us, and scored. If he had been quicker he would have gone to the very top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar to sheridan and leTissier back in the days before, bags of quality a cracking shot, just lacked any real pace to take them up to that level.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin a pro sportsman and you swap school for career. Didn't Soton have policy of only signing bright kids like Bale, Walcott and Wardy today? But the foreign players and UK women do seem to be much more articulate, listening to Beeb footy shows. Edited June 9, 2021 by Hornsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
