    Pick your Boro 11 made of full internationals but…

    …only one player per nationaility. No under 21s or B teams, only full internationals. Here’s mine: Given Ziege Woodgate Pogatetz Geremi Souness Mendieta Boateng Juninho Boksic Viduka

    How can that not be a penalty?

    VAR being ridiculous again. Foot into the chest. It’s a foul by any definition and VAR look at it and do nothing? Come on now.

    I think Carrick is on the brink

    We are as bad now as we have been at any point in recent times just before a manager was sacked. Abject performance after abject performance. No learning. Persisting with things that simply aren’t working. I’m afraid his time is probably up.

    Dael Shy

    Another waste of space. Clumsy, slow and entirely unsuited to playing out from the back. Couldn’t tackle his dinner.

    Dan Badpasser

    Useless. As long as he’s in the team we are going nowhere fast. Fry not much better. Carrick, for me, is going to be under pressure soon for his job. It all just feels pretty pointless at the moment. No chance of promotion, just treading water.

    VAR making yet another mess of it

    Another penalty awarded incorrectly.

    What is the point of VAR?

    Clear two footed lunge - no red Player kicks out at another whilst on the ground - no red. Seriously, what on Earth is the point of it? A disastrous introduction to the game that adds nothing, takes away the essence of the game and doesn’t even get the decisions right. A big steaming pile of...

    Relegation

    A serious serious possibility. We are truly woeful. Things need to change as a matter of urgency. Has to be the manager I think.

    This team reminds me of Woodgate’s

    All the same traits, the most obvious of which is the inability to defend. That’s a very odd phenomenon given Woodgate was a truly world class defender.

    Another horrific half of football

    Defensively we are pathetic. I keep saying it but we are in DEEP trouble.

    We are in DEEP trouble

    I know it’s early but we are. This has all the hallmarks of a relegation side once again. Worse than anything under Wilder at the beginning of last season. We can’t defend, we are overrun in midfield and we have no goal threat.

    Awful

    We are in real trouble here. Right back to where we were before Carrick arrived. Same characteristic. Soft, weak, can’t defend and can’t score.

    This is bad

    Really really poor so far. Worrying.

    Luton agree fee for Giles

    I would suggest that is therefore that.

    The Dark Side of the Moon

    Now I’m of a certain age and listened to this when it first came out as an 18 year old. I tried again as my taste developed into my 20s and every now and then I go back to it. I listened again yesterday from start to finish I get it’s supposed to be a bit avant- garde and it’s supposed to be a...

    Booing the Ramadan drinks break

    Can someone explain that one to me?

    Woodgate as next manager?

    When the day comes that Carrick moves on to bigger and better things, how would you feel about Woodgate stepping back up?

    Newcastle fans simply can’t take it

    I was working in Newcastle during the 90s and the amount of stick I got for Boro losing finals and getting relegated was incredible. Seeing some of their reaction to what amount to lighthearted ribbing is unbelievable. They simply can’t take it.

    Huge win in the week….

    Sheff Utd losing today, out of form team at home. There’s only one outcome - typical Boro.

    To all board members, past and present and any lurkers. Merry Christmas to those that have gone to the Holgate in the sky. All the best to everyone.
