  1. Indeed, he's be at Vitesse right now had we got him then. In any case, he's well on his way to making the ยฃ32m look like a bargain.
  2. All of Tintin's touches vs BvB : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrIMAXm_TRA&feature=g-u-u
  3. The Torres goal was a thing of beauty. More of that please!
  4. Our French scout Guy Hillion confimed he noticed him as a 17 year old and recommended him straightaway to Chelsea. We could have had him for a free then.
  5. Ah well fantasy league points for me (Evra, Persie) Also, I'd take Dembele over Modric if we were signing a CM. He's going to be a boss.
  6. It might surprise the voyeur to learn that we've scouted Hazard dozens of times from when he was a teenager.
  7. All of you moaning about ''too much depth'' in the wings, I'll take this every day of the week over the Anelkalouda trinity that were our only options there less than 18 months ago. Great signing who bolsters our attack directly (wings) and indirectly (Sturridge to CF now). A young HG player for ~7m upfront ... Well done Emenalo!
  8. The one with the most to lose with Moses coming in, especially if Robbie sticks to the 4-2-3-1.
  9. Wait, what ... you work?! You and Cap are on here 24/7
  10. So if he dribbles through a United/Arsenal/Liverpool defence, shall we refer to it as 'Moses parting the red sea'?
  11. Also, a .gif of that volleyed cross-field pass to Hazard from our own half late on in the game would be appreciated. That was a beaut.
  12. Sssh don't say it out loud, this praise goes against the general tide of ''Go away you're so shit'' comments directed at him recently.
  13. I don't like how he simply ignored his teammates afte the winning goal, ambling away to the other side of the pitch for a drink instead.
  14. He's won us more points and trophies than he's ever going to mess up. So chill the fuck out. It was a bad mistake and he'll be the first to admit it, like he already has.
  15. I think RDM did the right thing by bringing him on when he did, we needed a bit of calmness on the ball during that period of the game. Found it a little difficult to get straight into the pace of the game but it was a good sub from the manager, imo.
  16. Ultimately what it boils down to is putting the points on the board and that's what we did. Truth be told, in a fair world Reading would have headed home with a point .. but it's not a fair world and it never will be. 2 games, 6 points, 6 goals, immense contributions from the record summer signing and strikes for the misfiring Spaniard, a club legend and a couple of defenders. I'll take it every day of the week. And for the more squeamish here - isn't winning without playing great the stuff champions are made of?
  17. "I wanted to go to a team that played good football and as we saw tonight, Middlesbrough play good football," the 19-year-old told BBC Tees. "There are top players here, it's not a big step down." "I trained with the boys on Monday, we worked on shape play, and then I started the game," he said. "It's my first 90 minutes for a bit so I had to find my feet but as the game went on I thought I did better and better." "I hope Middlesbrough get promoted and I'm part of it," said McEachran. "I've played with some of the boys when we've been with England U21 - the likes of Jason Steele, Joe Bennett, Luke Williams - so that has helped. "I'm still trying to find a place to live up here and when I do that and am settled, things will get even better." Mowbray on Josh : "He'll enable us to be as fluent as we want to be really, and then if teams come pressing us he has the quality to pick the passes to the strikers and the other midfield players who are playing higher up.". ......................................................................................................... Fair to say he's enjoying himself there.
  18. Twitter rumours : Romeu to start. Would love it, to be honest.
  19. Get this started already, can't wait.
  20. The official site will announce it once he's scored a debut goal.
