The game we lost 1-3 just a few weeks after he left you mean? I’d say the defense was just as important in that Europa League campaign, if we’d have kept clean sheets against Sparta and Hapoel we’d have seen our way to the knockout stages. Fonte would go on to miraculously win Ligue 1 with Lille some years after leaving us whilst also playing in the champions league, he certainly wasn’t on the decline when he left us, we’ll just agree to disagree

Fonte would go on to play in the champions league and manage playing in Europe midweek and then the weekend in the league quite comfortably. He was being punished for considering moving away from the club following the Euros win that summer. It’s ridiculous but typically Saintsy that we wouldn’t play one of our best players in Europe and go out at the first hurdle.

And Puel wouldn’t play him in the Europa league because he “couldn’t handle playing Thursdays and Sundays” ten years ago.

At least the arrow points the way we’re headed.

Slightly sensationalist numbers from Blackmore there I feel. If he was pumping that kind of money in we’d know about it.

Easy to stay at a club if nobody tries to sign you during that time.

Could have stayed to help get us promoted under Martin and made himself a legend but jumped at the first opportunity for the money and has been in decline ever since. No thanks. As others have said let’s stop with the ex player sentiment bollocks, costs the club a fortune with little return.

Good luck to Ben Garner, see you soon? Worth reading into?

Already on DH Gate 😂

Fucking Everton wankers, did they not get the memo?

That back is hideous. Looks like a Sheffield United kit. No doubt loads of other clubs that wear stripes will carry on with a striped back.

The few notable contributions of Middlesbrough to the world: Bob Mortimer Chris Rea Roy Chubby Brown Kammy Brian Clough and notably Captain Cook. No wonder he discovered Australia, he was probably looking for the furthest possible point from that shithole town.

When Taylor left we weren’t even in the playoff race, nor would we have known we’d be facing then automatic promotion chasing Boro. Unless they sent an undercover intern to about 8 different clubs I think we can dismiss the sleeper agent theory. The notion that he tipped off Boro that we’d be sending a spy certainly is credible, but it probably wasn’t any more in depth than that.

Wearing sunglasses to hide those sweet salty tears.
