    The core squad to build around next season

    The key is obviously holding on to our star players. There's a lot of talk of us trying to follow the Brentford model but when you look at a lot of their big players at Championship level they managed to get at least two seasons out of them. The likes of Watkins, Benrahma and Mbuemo all stuck...

    VAR - For or Against

    Not sure I agree. The camera's are set in a fixed point in the goals whereas the offside is a moving point somewhere along the length of the pitch. There is no human involvement such as trying to line up the two lines for the offside. Also we do see it. They always put up a picture of it on...

    VAR - For or Against

    Is this really going to be the case? Would be able to accept it a lot more were this to happen but there's no way it will be as immediate as the goal line technology. You're still going to have those moments of fans celebrating a goal only for it to be ruled out

    VAR - For or Against

    But that was referee's call wasn't it? That wasn't given by VAR. Whether you think it was a pen or not at least the decision is being made by the one man in charge on the pitch. They'll always get some right and some wrong. Been that way for over 100yrs. My point is that the wrong decisions are...

    VAR - For or Against

    But goal line technology works 99.99% of the time. Absolutely no reason to get rid of that

    VAR - For or Against

    Can't stop thinking how I would feel as a Coventry fan today. The emotions they went through yesterday were off the scale. To have that goal ruled out must be so hard to take. VAR was supposed to remove all debate and ensure the correct decision was always reached. It doesn't do that and so for...

    This is a very hard thread to write

    Great news Viv. Good to get a positive update. We are truly lucky to live in a country where this sort of thing can be sorted so quickly. Glad that you're on the mend

    Bands you heard of, never listened to, then blew your mind when you did

    Sounds like his new album isn't going to be great too. Loved what I've heard from it so far;

    Currently going through a phase of discovering all of Micheal Heads back catalogue. Was aware of a few Shack songs but not much more. Absolutely loving it all. A proper genius

    Vote for Middlesbrough's Goal of the Season

    That goals beats all of them for me. Just because he's left doesn't mean it shouldn't be in there

    Vote for Middlesbrough's Goal of the Season

    Azaz against Preston should have been on there

    Jones - new 3 year contract

    Not actually sure just making the assumption that it won't have been much. Especially against the value he has provided us the last few years

    Jones - new 3 year contract

    Exactly this. Our left sided midfielder has tended to be more of a crafty playmaker (Mgree, Greenwood, Ramsey). Would love to see us with raw pace on both flanks as well as Manu up top. Azaz would have a field day picking out passes for them all

    Jones - new 3 year contract

    Brilliant news. Been a great signing given the amount we paid for him. Glad he is settled and he seems to be enjoying his football again. Just needs to work on his finishing and crossing and he'd absolutely tear this league up!
