If Chris Hughton had walked out after a row during this season, been suspended for a game before his return, had reportedly been in bust ups with the squad behind the scenes next season as well, then had you in the relegation zone at this point next year with uninspiring tactics and after...

But not quite as funny as the following chant to it, which was "Peter Reid peels bananas with his feet..." Back to the OPs song most opposing supporters like to exaggerate when aiming songs at each other. When Boro played Doncaster a few years back there were chants of "Geordies! Geordies!"...

Hughton wouldn't get sacked in that position as Tony Bloom is a decent local chairman who possesses a characteristic known as loyalty. Much like Steve Gibson. And not at all like some vague foreign investors who see a possible future drop in spondoolicks and press the ejector seat button. Like...

Even at 33/1 I just knew Curbishley's name would be on there...:ffsparr:

Ridiculous. Everything that is wrong in the modern game.

I was thinking more the whole thing where Boro were points clear with games in hand and you managed to claw it all back last year... Everything except the GD. But you are right about the presence of Hull, who bounced up to the top, stopped about for a bit, then buggered off back to the middle of...

Yes. I think you and the Skunks are going up this time around, but it's going to be another high points total finishing in 3rd again. In any case I hope Hudds rest several players against Wolves as I'd much prefer them to concentrate on somehow knocking Citeh out of the FA cup in their replay...

I rest my case. You may as well replace the words Newcastle with Burnley and Huddersfield with Brighton. Change a few scores and switch October for January and this post could have been made on a Boro forum almost a year ago.

Huddersfield look to be this year's Brighton.... Completely transformed by a new manager at the helm for the season opening. Early flyers, dip a bit, but then come back and refuse to fall away from the leaders.

I reckon you'll around 93 points and go up with the skunks, although who takes the title is up for debate.

The last Middlesbrough game of the 05/06 Prem season away at Fulham saw the club field a side where both the starting 11 and the 5 on the subs bench were all English. In fact 15 of the 16 players in that matchday squad were born within 30 miles of the Riverside, Malcolm Christie being the...

No they don't. This is your year lads, I've said from the start it's you and the Skunks for the autos this year. Nothing has changed my mind one iota, just wish I'd put money on it.

Been saying it before the season started. You're up this year.

Yes, I can imagine you walking up to a random lady, proferring the feminine hygeine aids and saying "I've bought these and suddenly realised I don't need them at all, so I'm offering them to you as a heartfelt gift..." Now that would confront your fears.

I certainly hope they can. Another relegation place well used up.

I can see the whole psychological factor in this, such as confronting your fears, realising that much like ridicule it's nothing to be scared of, etc, but I do hope you didn't actually have to buy these items? Only I call that wasting good brass on $hite that you're never going to use.

Other than Newcastle I'd say Brighton's biggest threat for the autos will probably come from either Sheff Wed, Derby or Norwich. Derby are shooting up the table and all 3 have the financial muscle to act in January. Though truth be told I honestly think this is Brighton's year for automatic...

He hasn't done anything to warrant losing this reputation either, he's well-spoken and conducts himself with dignity, despite being practically frozen out of the starting 11.

It wasn't Rhodes arrival that caused the drop in acquired points, but 4 other factors. Namely nerves towards the end of the season (the defence actually shipped more goals), the opposition in our run in( your lot, Burnley, Brum etc becoming tougher, the off-field issues with AK and AK's shift...

As a Boro fan, more of our supporters than not want Rhodes to get more game time in the Prem than he is ultimately getting. Partly because our top scorers are on 3 apiece really, though this isn't really a surprise. Our approach to games now is a lot similar to what it was in the championship...
