Premiership Showboating 2007/8

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LWUjNJslSc[/youtube] Got to be honest, I love a bit if showboating. So I couldn't resist this little compilation of tricks from the Premiership 2007/8 season so far. There's a certain Portuguese winger who ...

Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks Middlesbrough Fan's Wrist (Hopefully Not Deliberately Though)

Ever wondered how hard Cristiano Ronaldo strikes a football? Well wonder no longer, because now we have an answer. It's not in miles per hour, or km per hour, but it's still a pretty accurate unit of measurement. Cristiano Ronaldo's shots are officia ...

Another day, another defeat...

Middlesbrough 1 - 0 Derby County I've mentioned before how I'm convinced the only difference between (us) Derby and the majority of the other Premier League teams is spending power (usually in the form of a heavyweight striker (or two)) and a slice of

LFC 3 - 2 Middlesbrough

Three brilliant goals and Torres got them all. On to the highlights!

Rovers 1 - 1 Boro

I'm sick of reflecting on games where we have played shite. This, I'm afraid to say, is one of the worst! A poor performance. How Boro did not win this game is difficult to fathom, probably a testament to where they find themselves in the league table.

Rovers v Boro: Give Roberts A Chance

I've always rated Jason Roberts and after his winner at Bolton on Sunday it's time he was given a chance. Benni McCarthy has been nothing more than shite for a good few weeks now and it seems the perfect time to put him on the bench, giving Roberts a s

UC Memories: 3 November 2005

Two years ago today, Middlesbrough beat Ukrainian side Dnipro 3-0 in the UEFA Cup group stages. This wasn't a particularly memorable game in the history of the UEFA Cup, but it does highlight how quickly things can change in professional football. Two y

Middlesbrough v Chelsea

What a bad International break this time round for Chelsea. Forget about the international team, England always flatter to deceive. Nope. Its all about John Terry and Ashley Cole. Terry has been ruled out for a minimum of four weeks with knee trouble and

Reserves/Ladies

Rovers reserves drew at Middlesbrough on Tuesday. A late Boro equaliser cancelled out Maceo Rigters early goal to send Rovers home with a point. Bruno Berner returned to the side for the game. Since my last update the ladies have scored 12 goals!

EPL Round 7: Middlesbrough FC vs Sunderland AFC

Today sees the resumption of the Wear-Tees derby after a nearly two year hiatus. During the 2005/06 season (following which SAFC were relegated) the teams traded away shutout wins. Sunderland will have a few hundred fewer fans in attendance, because Bor

Next Two Weeks Could Decide Spurs Future

The fixtures will come fast and furious at Spurs during the next two plus weeks, starting with tomorrows tie against Anorthosis Famagusta and followed by what could possibly be a winnable visit to the Reebok v. Bolton. The UEFA cup is Spurs main f

Please take your seat.

Sunderland supporters are among the best traveling fans in England. They routinely take contingents of several thousand to matches as far away as Plymouth and Cardiff, and when they're there they often own the home ground with their passion and noise. F

My Take on Andriy Shevchenko

Daryl from The Offside eluded after Sheva's game against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday that Sheva should pack his bags and move on. I know there are sites on the Internet that want Sheva back at AC Milan, the club that Roman Abramovich paid £30m for Sheva

Boro 1 - 2 Rovers highlights, a little belated!

Just ignore the fact it's over a week late and the commentary is French! Middlesbrough 1 x 2 Blackburn Rovers - GolsUploaded by Boemio123 Well, it lasted a day! I don't see what's wrong with breaching copyright law!

Boro v Rovers

It's finally here. After two and a half months of waiting patiently the joyous day is almost upon us. Of course I speak of the start of the football season! Rovers kick-off the 2007/08 season with, what promises to be, an action-packed match against Mi

Mark Viduka Agrees to Sign With the Mags (Rumor)

As summer nears, the transfer rumors are starting to heat up, especially for Newcastle. It has been announced that Mark Viduka will be singed by the Mags on a free transfer and Middlesbrough seems to be very angry about this. Espnsoccernet has stated that

Middlesbrough to raid SPL?

Plenty of blogs, including this one, have reported on Middlesbrough's interest in Hibernian midfielder Scott Brown, but it appears the Brough will be shopping around quite a bit north of the border in preparation for their 2007-08 Premiership season. The

A FANTASTIC Opportunity Wasted!!

Chelsea blew a 'wonderful' chance to close the gap on leaders Man Ure to one point at St James' Park yesterday, after the leaders were surprisingly held at home by Middlesbrough the previous afternoon. To be fair Chelsea were poor. The game was poor an

If the Title Comes Down to a Single Point, This Decision (Or Lack Thereof) Will Live in Infamy

"Phew" is putting it mildly - [a big thanks to willkill4food for the link]

Newcastle v Chelsea

The look on the faces of ManUre fans from the moment Middlesbrough equalised to the final whistle (anguish, despair, upset) was PRICELESS, ABSOLUTE PRICELESS. A nine point lead is now down to four and Chelsea have a game in hand. I am cool, I am calm,

Middlesbrough Sadly Demonstrate the Only Way to Stop Ronaldo

We'll have none of this tomorrow, thank you very much...

Middlesbrough ups bid for Brown

As the player revolt in Hibernian's locker room starts to settle down, Hibs fans have something new to be concerned with - the loss of rising star midfielder Scott Brown. Apparently, Middlesbrough are getting more and more interested in Brown, who has be

Middlesbrough's Public Enemy Number One Defends Himself

'Boro's James Morrison Can't Emmulate His Namesake -- That Certainly Wasn't Beautiful

Look, I know there are plenty out there who would like to do that -- but for feck's sake!

Ronny Critics Give Fergie a Sour Taste

After yet more cries of derision (boring) from Middlesbrough (and beyond) regarding Ronaldo's propensity for tumbling in the box - Sir Alex Ferguson has yet again felt the need to firmly back his player. It was a little tense at the final whistle yest

FA Cup Highlights -- C. Ronaldo Gets Under People's Skin Once Again

Cristiano Ronaldo Winds Up the Smoggies Again

Three matches against Middlesbrough this season - three penalties for us. Two 'earned' by Ronaldo. I'll admit the first one was dubious at best, but surely 'Boro fans can have no real argument about tonights. Certainly not if they watch the Premiership w

United Look to Avoid Distraction in the FA Cup 'Distraction'

Manchester United and Chelsea '03 both face a minor distraction with the unusual specter of FA Cup football on a Monday night. This one's a bit tricky for both sets of fans -- with both clubs in the thick of things in the far more profitable prestigio
