What happened to Boro today? They scored 4 against Norwich. How do they let Norwich score 2, let alone 4?

[ERIMUS]

disgrace, utter disgrace. Id be shooting each and every one of them for that.

[nirvaanfc]

Good teams don't concede 4 goals!
Good teams don't blow 3 goal leads!
Good teams don't score 4 an not win!

Middlesbrough wants to be a good team, but with this kinda horror showing, how can Boro really be considered good.

Its almost as though NOONE in England wants that fourth UCL spot!
Everton, Middlesbrough and much-vaunted Liverpool all lose. (BORO drew admittedly but not collecting 3 point after a 3 goal lead is as good as a loss!)

[ERIMUS]

Man Utd 3-0 Boro

awful :(

Portsmouth away tomorrow and i think we'll lose :o

[ERIMUS]

Boro team - Portsmouth.

4-4-2

Schwarzer, Reiziger, Queudrue, Cooper, Southgate, Morrison, Downing, Zenden, Parlour, Christie, Hasselbaink

Subs: Graham, Doriva, McMahon, Nash, Job

Malcolm Christie's first start since 2003.

[ERIMUS]

Portsmouth 2-1 Middlesbrough.

Very poor game, i guess the only plus point is Christie scored the goal.

[ERIMUS]

Blackburn at home on saturday, this is a must win game!!

[creative_destruction]

So what's going on lately? I don't follow Boro too closely, but they were off to a good start, what happened?

[ERIMUS]

We have a lot of injuries and not enough cover :( speaking of injuries, Cooper got injured last night.

[ERIMUS]

Schwarzer has now signed his new 3 year contract.

In other news JFH has the flu and is a doubt for tomorrow! :o

[ERIMUS]

With the amount of injuries we have, and if we havent recalled Andrew Davies from QPR i can see the team tomorrow being:

Schwarzer, McMahon, Queudrue, Southgate, Reiziger, Morrison, Downing, Parlour, Zenden, Christie, Job

Subs: Graham, Nash, Bates, Doriva, Parnaby

[ERIMUS]

McMahon is doubtful :o

Parnaby will no doubt step in and i think its likely to be Andrew Taylor on the bench.

1-0 over Blackburn with depleted squad, hopefully sparks a winning run!

Frank Querdrue knocking on the door to join my EPL fantasyteam, scoring much goals! And Stewie Downing is continuing to deliver my boys fantasy points, bargain but at 6 now up to 8.1!

That's the key to having a good season, grinding out results when things don't look good. Maybe Boro will end up in europe again next year?

[ERIMUS]

Ray Parlour's sending off today means he misses next week at Bolton, with Zenden also missing...our central midfield is going to be spread thin with Doriva our only senior central midfielder available.

McMahon, JFH should be both fit.

Nemeth and Cooper possibly could be fit.

If this happens i see the team being:

Schwarzer, Reiziger, Queudrue, Southgate, Cooper, Nemeth, Downing, Doriva, Morrison, Christie, JFH

[ERIMUS]

Graz AK away on Thursday night in the Uefa Cup 1st leg. Tough tie, hopefully JFH will have recovered from Flu :)

[ERIMUS]

Well Done Stewy Downing on earning his first senior international call up!! :D

[gaijin]

Christ, Boro needed that.......

After the shambles of the past few games.

Next league match up is Bolton away. Oh christ.

Time for spitting, diving, time-wasting, arseing about, complaing about descions, scoring without the ball crossing the line, getting hammered for 90 minutes but win, rubbing it when scoring, Kevin Davies trying to be skilful *ugh*, long balls, direct balls, short balls.......in the air, pre match moans, post match bitching, undeserved three points, undeserved no points, 6th place tits up, lets forget about europe, still time left, geordies closing in, hell freezes over, Russia go to war with Georgia and [large intake of breath] still wonder how we gave a 4-1 lead with 10 minutes to go.

Can't wait....... ;)

Its like a time warp when we play them. Squint and I can just make out Plough Lane on a rainy day......

But before that fun in the sun............dried marshes of Bolton quagmire, we take on current Austrain champs AK Graz. They gave Liverpool a real scare in the CL qualies. I just hope we can get an away goal, to to take back to the Riverside.
