Agreed ...... can't see Rafa succeeding. Pearson was tailer-made to make a go of it there. Guess we'll never know now.
Great fans, great banter. Hope they stay up but will be fun meeting them if they go down. They have a good chance now with Rafa, he'll get them proper organised. It will be between him and Allardyce, Villa and Norwich to go down for sure.
In what way? Nobody can say he has not spent a bucket load of money - one of the biggest spenders in the Prem in the summer and Xmas windows but they are where they are. 60% of my work colleagues support Toon and most of my clients are season ticket holders and they are used to having some duds. None of them think he's done a good job. I agree with the second part though. But that's what you get I suppose when your owner made his money by being good stack' em high sell 'em cheap. Bit like our Tony - if you've ever had the misfortune to fly on one of his planes. The only thing lacking is the fish oil to cram you in to the tin.
Not so sure. They did last time and easily. It was February before anyone took a point off them at St James and that was us in a draw! Think that's correct. I can see them doing a Leeds.
Another team imploding? Training ground handbags, seems serious? Aitor Karanka: Middlesbrough head coach considering future at Riverside please log in to view this image Aitor Karanka played for Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka is considering his future at the club. The 42-year-old Spaniard, who took charge at the Riverside in November 2013, left Boro's training ground unexpectedly on Friday after a row. Boro, who travel to Charlton on Sunday, are second in the Championship, four points behind leaders Burnley with a game in hand. The club confirmed Karanka did not take training on Saturday and assistant Steve Agnew takes charge at Charlton. "We appreciate supporters will want to know further details, but at this time the club cannot make any further comment and is solely focused on Sunday's game at The Valley," the club statement added. Middlesbrough led the table by six points on 12 January, but they have won just three of their past 10 games. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35793540
I meant he did a good job at QPR last year while coaching for Arry, the squad looked awful after he left. I don't have a clue what the Georgies think of him but they do seem quite hard to please.
