Off Topic Football things that aren’t worth a new thread

John O’Shea has the most PL appearances for the lads with 189. Bardsley has the third most with 174

 

Crazy

 

15 years?! Time flies

Is Hayden Hackney a much better player than Jobe? According to a Boro supporting lad I work with, he is.

 

Same as our fans I guess, where there will be a wide range of opinions on players. The Boro fan you spoke with seems on the extreme side!

Hackney is a really good footballer but his out of possession work is levels below Jobe. Drops his value a lot.

 

One of my bosses is a Boro fan… over £600 for a season ticket there next season???

 

Aye, it’s always been pricey at Boro. Their crowds are decent for what they’re paying…imo

Who is yours?

I never saw Hurley play or watson or shaun elliott, I only remember from Ord, Craddock timescale onward

Might stick Thome in there, not sure about ballard as top 5 quite yet.

 

I’ll always remember his 2 free kicks at home to Rotherham in ‘05. It was freezing that night!
