Perhaps when he's toughened up a bit he could be in the squad ?

Shocking challenge on Aliadiere too !

It looked like Rozehnal was carrying him today.

Great goal from the Zogmeister

Onuoha? WTF?!

I like Lescott but playing at left back does him no favours. As i'ves said already SM was picking defenders that could play at RB as well as in the middle. If Lescott wasn't stuck out on the left all the time he would've been picked.

Taylor was fine apart from the goal, he was caught out a bit there. Still, that happens with 21 year old center backs sometimes, it's an old mans position. Also the defence hasn't really clicked yet, we have an out and out attacking player playing at LW, and a shite RB and DM.

Onuoha outperformed Taylor at the U21 EC and he can play RB.

Taylor could never play RB as he isn't athletic enough and doesn't have the footballing ability.

Hardly.

And Taylor can play at RB, and well. He has done for us quite alot.

Taylor is a real unit...he knocked out alidalialilia pretty good!

Seriously Boro didnt even have a full house when they were playing their local rivals...what a $h!t team they are.

Another cracking 4-0 win from M0-0 Un0-0ed Lrd


Fergie has finally found his successor to mike riley

it's the gareth southgate effect... the ugliest manager in the league.. and that is a quite an accomplishment

A total accident, even Southgate says so. Two players went for the ball, one was a big defender, the other was a little frog.

No wonder officials make mistakes, they have a great game get everything right, and people make out they got things wrong.

0-0..... 2 of those in 70 games

well it's too late for me to be arguing with you lrdie

lets just say that vidic taking berbatov out as he is about to score and brown stopping the ball with part of his arm are better shouts than 90 percent of the penalties united actually get awarded to them at OT so your view of the ref getting things right will be very different from a lot of other peoples


good night

Nope...most people realised neither were penalties on here. and the bbc pundits thought the same thing.

Again a relatively low goal tally this weekend....

Is this because the defences in the EPL are just getting better or because the strikers are getting worse?

most teams have got a lot of new faces in their attack, their just jelling at the moment. (united arent scoring)

Decent result for us, and a good performance, we were the better team

Newcastle fans were a disgrace.

Gelling at the front. Not many teams have changed the defence but certainly many have changed up front.

Boro you reckon Sanli would get more games now in starting position and what is your opinion of Mido.

Blame Sven & his catenaccio for the lack of goals

Mido is a Paedo eh? How fucking dare they, never have i heard such things at a football match.

We were pretty rubbish against Spurs, but after the reading an City game we earned our luck.

As for all the penalty claims

As soon as something happens in the united box, it should automatically be a penalty to the opposition. It's almost as if people base their views on supposition than from what they see with their eyes.

We have Sunderland at home next week then after that we will have Ronaldo, Saha and Anderson back; let the good times roll

yeah, ignore the racist chanting about him

@Dark Savante

Mido has started really well, as i'd hoped. We now finally have somone to hold the ball up when its up front, and he's got 2 goals in 2 games, and put one up the scummy skunks Couldnt have had a better start.

Tuncay im hoping to see more of...he was on the bench Sunday, dont know why, maybe isnt quite fit yet. Aliaidere might be out for a game or 2 after that knock so wouldnt mind seeing him partner Mido up front..see what they're like together. Gareth might keep playing him wide though, who knows?

I haven't heard about any racist chanting. I read an article on the times website, Mido didn't mention anything about racism, and Boro aren't reporting it.

http://football.guardian.co.uk/Match_Report/0,,2156856,00.html

Mido got the last word anyway

thousands of fuming geordies was definitely worth the booking he got

Strikers are getting worse - Henry's gone, after all...

Well nothing will get done if Boro don't report it, instead they're just whinging.

The propaganda war goes on - trying to get local rivals smeared via the press...

Havent really whinged about it...one interview where he was asked to comment. Thats been it.

We're not even local rivals.


The strange thing is that nobody cares about chants about players families, or about their personal lives. Yet a few drunken charvas make a chant about Mido being a shoe bomber(something that isn't personal in the slightest and was probably only made up because they thought it was funny, no real malice) and there's uproar.

around 2000 drunken charvas

borocooper wrote:around 2000 drunken charvas

Who was counting? Some say minority, Mido says 3000( ).

Mido should ask himself whether the song was made up because those charvas found it funny, OR whether it was proper racial hatred. Then, regardless of the answer he comes up with, he should toughen the f@ck up.

Either way though Boro should report it.
