    They’re a decent side… still think they’ll likely make top 6 so should be a good game - hoping our extra attacking flair will be the difference

    Mate, I would have admitted to having away tickets rather then giving a speech on living in Middlesbrough :emoticon-0138-think

    Going to miss the game today. It’s my sister-in-law’s birthday so will be freezing my nads off walking along the south bank of London as she likes to do. It’s alright for her, she’s a geordie so thinks it’s tropical down here at the moment :cool:

    I know Greenwood isn’t playing but FARKE is now bemoaning the fact that he allowed him to go out on loan. He says he’s the best set piece player he’s ever worked with?

    Would have kept him if the rules were same as that silly American game. Something like that anyway <whistle>

    Boro 2-1 Southampton (Greewood sub 69)
    Boro 1-0 Leicester (Greenwood goal)

    You could argue it's working in our favour so far as he can't play against us.

    Probably just me but never rated him much apart from his set pieces

    Great to read Farke's comments about Luke Ayling after the Swansea win midweek.

    " I rarely talk about something like this but in terms of football character and team mate character Luke Ayling is second to none and probably the best player in these terms I've ever worked with. I'm really careful with such a compliment "

    " He brings the heart and soul into my side, makes sure we don't drop the standards in training. He makes sure everyone is really on it in training, disciplined and focused, working hard each and every day "

    " Even before the game giving everyone a boost, a hug and firing everyone up. What a character this is, to be personally disappointed but then sacrifice yourself for the team "

    " He even gave me a hug and I was honoured - even though he probably wanted to kill me after this decision. What a character "

    " Without Luke Ayling such a performance would not be possible. He made sure during the last 5 days that everyone is on it in training, that Djed Spence had to work really really hard to be allowed in the squad ahead of him. He makes sure Archie Gray returned a top class performance today to defend everything "

    " No one should underestimate his impact "

    Nice words but every dog has its day. Was listening to the Jim White show on talkSPORT yesterday and he had Stuart Pearce and Martin Keown on debating this kind of subject and what became clear from their comments is that the players are always the last to know when their days are over.

    Jeez, WBA are piss poor. They managed a scrappy equaliser against Leicester in the 89th minute and conceded 5 minutes later. They sent everyone up for a long throw in and got caught on the break. Leicester were the better team in fairness, but still......
