The bookies have boro 4th favourites for promotion. Presumably they know how many shots at it they will be allowed. Sheff Utd look surprisingly high in the lists, but I guess they will be solid at worst.

Like many people, I'm struggling to work out what boro's issue actually is now. I guess like the skates they don't need an actual issue though....

45 goals in 144 games at Blackburn.

BBD has shown that he has enough to offer as a squad member at least. We could easily do worse than keep him for what we will get for him and have to pay for a replacement , if one is needed.

The big BBC report failed to mention anything about his time with us, which included his best ever goal tally for a season. It was poor journalism .

Disgraceful stuff. They could have mentioned that KK had his best ever goal scoring season when a Saints player.

Have we not had the punishment for that ?

Tuchel must have noted Saints getting away with the same thing v WBA last season and decided it was the way to go……the problem being that Saints had a 3 goal lead …..

That’s petit pois I would say.

For a team that is running out of parachute payments, and that certainly has some expensive players that we want to move on, we do seem to be spending big .

FWIW his decision making in key attacking moments is good IMO. But he makes quite a few poor decisions in less pressured moments that might prove really costly against PL opposition. He’d be useful in the PL no doubt, and has enough to worry the best defenders, but I don’t see anybody except perhaps the bottom few taking him on as a first choice option .

Just wait till Polly Toynbee and Jonathan Friedland find out about Spygate.

The Norway goal was a fluke.

The french referee bit.
