in my opinion if we can't get promoted this season i think the club should really think about a new philosophy. Lets take a look at our main rivals: big sam/west ham = long ball game wolly with the brolly = F all brummys = sniffing bummies alan can't believe he's still on the plant Shearer = cardiff (say it all about them) middlesbrough = they don't even know where their from is it Yorkshire or not leicester = all that money spent and still no talented footballers I could keep on going but really if we do not succeed this season then its time from something new like basketball
Birmingham - Will walk (yo yo club) West Ham - Will attract the better players ,Parker hant left yet Leicester - Will get in play offs, will bet anything on that Cardiff - Will struggle, 10th for them Leeds as it stands - Will finish 12th, wont score as many goals, will concede a few less tho, we did improve towards then end of the season, were 6/7 players short of a top team
Boro is actually cleveland now, but they used to be in Yorkshire, old folk still think they are, too set in their ways i suppose. as for you predictions. Big Sam will work wonders at West ham, and they will get promoted. Mclaren is a really good coach, ok he ****ed up with England but then who has been a success in recent history with that squad? Shearer Jury is out, he could be another keane and get them out first time, or it could be a huge gamble. Brum depends who they get in and if they can get some good replacements for the inevitable departures. Leeds, not a clue tbh, some parts of the season you appear to be unstoppable, others you cant get a point it seems, if you can get some consistency you will be right up there.
The old-timers are right actually, Middlesborough is in North Yorkshire. Part of the ceremonial county but lies outside the shire county, or some shizzle like that.
No its not its Cleveland i should know i live there. Well actually i live in Guisborrough which is Redcar and Cleveland, but pretty sure boro which is only 5 miles away still use a cleveland postal address, but looking at wiki which isnt always right, cleveland was aboloshed. ah well what the **** do i know, I only moved down here 8 years ago lol
Cleveland was abolished in 1996 (link). After that, Middlesborough was made a metropolitan area free of any county affiliation, but the only two parished areas of Middlesbrough lie in North Yorkshire, so that's the only county that can fairly claim it.
I used Wiki too but directgov and the UK Parliament link confirmed it was true. Those smoggies can try to get away from us, but we won't let them leave without a fight!
