We certainly need one.Somehow I think it will be a damp squib.I doubt if we can offload Braiithwaite or Assabalonga,or bring in the pace and creativity we need.However you never know and the club for once might bring off some really good signings.

I think she will win the vote by at least 80. Hopefully her deal will be eventually binned and then it's No Deal !!!

The Irish Backstop was cooked up between the Irish "Teapot" and Barnier.Its so obvious a trap it is laughable.According to the Leo the Teapot The Republic will never put up a hard border,neither will the EU,or Uk Government.Am I missing something here?If ALL three parties say it will never happen why then do we need the backstop? Answer it panders to Leo the Teapot so he can counter the rise of Sein Fein ,and it's particularly good for the EU because it gives them immense potential for blackmailing the UK. What sort of Government would sign such an agreement which only the other side can let you out of?

Well it looks like there are not enough Tory MPs with the balls to put their letters in.Then there is Steptoe Corbyn on his front bench with most of his MPs hating his guts.The upshot of all this is that the Tories rip themselves apart over Brexit,and Labour Leave constituencies will vote en mass in a GE for the new Farage Party.The next House of Commons will be rather a different place methinks.

TM is the new TP as she defends in depth,runs the clock down and then gets the winner in time added on.

 Robbso I agree with you.That must be a first.I hope May just keeps playing for time and time runs out,and we exit with a no deal.

Can't you read.Im agreeing with Plazmuth.

I find myself in agreement with you  Plaz  better to see attacking flowing football and goals in a lower league than the constant drubbings we would get in the Prem.

Wheel stuck back on with sticking plaster but still looking shaky.

Scores one but just missed a couple of sitters.

Let's have the Gillets Jeaune Storm the Riverside.

Well I never! Britt scores.Could we just sneak it?

Hmmm.

The common thread in all of this is how uninspiring Boro have been season after season.They are as dull as ditchwater.I think it reflects the inept and insipid leadership of our Owner.

Nothing to be excited about.Are any of you surprised? A team full of half paced donkeys is never going to be promoted.

Good point Tunstall. It's been a bit wobbly all season but somehow Pulis was keeping it on.

I expect Sheff Utd to get something at Reading so we will slip further.

Watched Besic last week and He looked pretty ordinary to me.In fact so did the whole team.

It was obvious last week that the team cannot cope with out and out attacking teams. The slow slide down the table has begun.

I have no confidence in the club bringing in some real quality in January. There will be the usual token signings and the same pattern of play will continue.Could reach the playoffs but I doubt it.

Clapton has a job to do and he does it well.The rest of the midfield and forward players are just very ordinary.

My apologies Coulby.It was Robbso my reply was aimed at.

I was also at the Wembley final v Leicester in the League Cup,the Wembley final v Chelsea in the FA Cup,and the League Cup final at the millennium Stadium.Also the Semi Final at Old Trafford v Chesterfield.Whether you believe me or not Coulby is neither here or there.Might as well through in the second leg semi against Stockport at the Riverside.I could go on but that's enough for now.

I seem to remember as I was there, that we didn't cover ourselves in glory in Eindhoven.

If it lacks impact Quntzy why do you always have to respond to everything I post? You seem to be under some compulsion to do so.I seem to have made a really big impact on you more than anyone else on this Board.Go figure.

Finished playing with your stamp collection for the evening have we Quntzy?

We are grateful for the contribution he has made.Ofcourse we are,but he is failing ,and has been since Eindhoven.Every successful organisation has to be capable of change,and Gibson is not the man to push Boro forward.Eventually he will go.Personally I hope it's sooner rather then later.

Less gullible? Are you suggesting that there are some people on here less intelligent than you?

Look at the stats.Defeats aren't necessarily the problem. We draw too many games.Our inability to score goals ( or enough goals) means we just won't get enough wins.In case you have forgotten you get three points for a win.

Robbso, it could be four defeats come 5 pm on Saturday.The slow descent down the table has begun I'm afraid.Credit to Pulis,he has worked wonders with a very limited group of players.However, our game is based around not conceding goals.Unfortunately this league is very competitive and teams have now found us out.Given Boro's woeful transfer dealings I expect a couple of cheap non entities being brought in. I doubt we will make the playoffs.

Quntzy you are so droll.

This season has nowt to do with it.Gibson WILL eventually step down.It is therefore a sensible question to ask.Sill I suppose some of the ostriches on here will never want to confront reality.

In that case he must have obtained  the elixir of life.

You may well be right Clem.Has Gibson got a mansion in California?

A dynasty in the making.We all know what eventually happens to dynastic ambition.

Can't see him hanging around until he is 70. He seems more preoccupied with his vanity projects like his new " home" in Kirby Moorside. I suspect Rockcliffe is losing money,so at some point he will want a better return.I think he could get an offer somewhere between £30 to £40 million from some billionaire.

I think within the next two years.

They will attack us right from the kickoff.We will then play defence against attack in the hope that Blackburn run out of steam.We will hope to nick a goal from a set piece.

I thought my comments would tear Quntzy away from his stamp collection.

IT will be sold off for building sub standard shoe box housing.

Ural were you born a foul mouthed dullard, or did you just develop the traits as a result of a disturbed childhood?

FAO Quntzy.   E tu resti sempre il solito ottuso.

Un Asino.

I think Jake was being rather charitable. They looked like a team of donkeys playing against thoroughbreds.

Doubt if the crowd will top 10000.

Sorry to use the hoof word.Perhaps welly is more appropriate.

We never laid a glove on Villa.Villa's defence,which usually is pretty shaky never looked in trouble,apart from Hugill hitting the crossbar.The only answer we had was to hoof a ball up to Hugill,for him to hold up.He played his role very well but he had NO support.The gulf in class was absolutely apparent.I just love the way Quntzy is trying to polish a turd.

Looks like Spain is also on a far right trajectory.Something isn't quite right in Euro.andis it?

These Eurolovers are in complete denial.They need to listen to themselves the daft buggers.
