Boro thread


"I DO BELIEVE". Such a weird thing to put on a banner. 'I believe' or 'we believe' fine, but 'I do believe' just makes me picture some old, posh, Victorian lady speaking.
It's from the song we shall overcome which was ours/boros song for years till all that pigbag shite foam hands crap
Bit arrogant to assume he was referring to you as one of the canny ones mind. ;)
🤣 arrogant maybe but perfectly correct tbf.never take the piss or give it Billy big bollocks unless provoked .
What's not to like

Was the same when I worked in Boro the hatred for us was bizarre
Boro fan…

You’s are ‘our’ nearest rival and probably most natural given the amount of games we’ve played over the years and competing at a similar level.. but think the hatred stems from the usual chants etc same games to Newcastle and Leeds.

Yeah really surprised me. I’ve had light hearted banter with mags all my life and know how to take it and dish it out but had one of her mates say she “f***ing hates mackem twats” and Sunderland’s a f***ing shithole without a whiff of humour. Turns out she’d never met one nor had she been to Sunderland of course. Made me chuckle.

Girlfriend couldn’t believe it when I brought her through here and went down the beach. Think she was expecting a post apocalyptic hell scape. She wants to move here now :lol:

Yeah we’ve both had our eyes opened. Middlesbrough centre and some of the residential bits around it are horrendous but youre right near the Yorkshire dales and some great bits like stokesley, yarm, Whitby etc. surprised me to be fair but I gave it a chance before slating it to all her mates and family like they did to me :lol:
 
Bit flat down here in Boro central today. Tried to get them gee’ed up with a bit of pig bag , but I think they have took it worse than we did.
Maybe because they were up there so long.
I have that Gyokeres song in my head now though, so I will have to stop going around whistling it too much

“And he goes by the name of Gyokeres “
 
How do boro seem to be able to spend a big chunk of money on players/wages/managers? They don’t have any parachute payments yet every year they’re one of the top spenders. I was under the impression owners couldn’t Chuck money in that wasn’t part of income or am I imagining that?
Boro take their spending pretty much to the limit that FFP allows. They are losing the impact of parachute payments on their running FFP total so they are going to be careful with what they spend on wages. Probably need to cut back a bit this season. Although selling djed Spence will help them.

I worked near Grangetown that was an eye opener, they had a fish shop that had metal railings in-front of the counter

Was like that jewellery shop off Snatch

Easier for me to say I know but those chants wouldn’t bother me if an opposition was singing it

Just childish shite

You should have put them away last Monday , and left them to Luton. Then you and us could have had a proper football match. Would have suited us both better.
But you decided to sit back. I will never understand that.
 
Think Boro might struggle next year. Four of their best players were on loan (Steffen, Giles, Ramsey and Archer). No idea if Akpom can be consistent or if this season was a flash in the pan. Think this was their big chance and they've blown it.

Be surprised if Akpom doesn't get some interest mind.

i think boro will let him go if an offer comes in over 15 million? last year of his contract and a player usually protects themselves in the last year to leave on a free for big wages.
The club cant afford to turn that down..maybe a mid to lower end PL club might take him?
 
Shit scared of us is why :cool:
i will give you a complimentary :D
