Just seen the news that Zlatan has done his cruciate :(

At his age that is probably the last we will see of him at the top level I fear, best striker of the last 20 years imo, and a very entertaining character off the pitch aswell

As much as this will benefit us when we play United, it's never nice to see a player injured. Especially one of his calibre.

Without the injury Zlatan could play until he's 40, in my opinion, but that injury can halt younger players in their tracks for a while, and we know they sometimes never come back with the same intensity. It would be amazing if he came back just as good as he undoubtedly has been.

**And Rojo, so I read.
 
This is hilarious how bad Boro are.

Didn't they recently change their manager? If they did they quickly need to get another one.........alternatively I suppose if they haven't changed their manager recently maybe they should? Either way they looked doomed.............
 
Boro have been doomed for months. You need goals to stay up as a promoted side and they have an atrocious total.

As we have both said for ages. But under Agnew, they appear to have lost all understanding of how to defend too. Yesterday wouldn't have been acceptable at Championship level, let alone PL level. They've now conceded 8 goals just in two recent games to Hull and Bmouth.

They are seriously going to regret sacking Karanka, in my view.

I thought it was a very odd decision at the time, was never going to save them imo. I agree they will regret it as he would have been a good bet for getting them back up, and to try and yo yo a few times like WBA did.

Looks that way. I understood their decision though. A gamble that's not worked and we'll see next season if it's really bad.
