rodders0223 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Watching EFL on Quest and they talk about Boro being the "archetypal Championship team"- blood and thunder and all that jazz. Can't we just stop with this myth that the Championship is 100 miles an hour, and every game is an absolute battle. It's not. The truth is that it's just full of a lot of teams who are shit at football trying to play football, badly. It's not Crazy Gang down here, it's not the 1980s, it's not the Butcher of Bilbao - it's for the most part fairly 'you have the ball and try not to give it away then we will have the ball and try not to give it away' tripe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Why did Swansea not wear white jersey on Saturday. Hate when teams wear away jerseys for the sake of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate when teams wear away jerseys for the sake of it There seems to be a suggestion that shorts/socks clashing is taken into account more than I would have thought (it helps with making decisions) - although that wouldn’t have mattered on Saturday. Only a guess, but do clubs have to wear their away kit a certain amount of times in order to legitimise selling replica kits?

TheAuthority Posted October 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2018 "Lampard's Derby"TM are trying to play it out every time form the keeper even though West Brom are all over them. Brave approach. As I type Derby score after Jay Rodriguez makes a terrible error. Haha - hate that clearing in the woods ever since he dived for a penalty at VP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 2-0 now. As good as the Baggies can be going forward, they are so suspect defensively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Nearly a third of the season gone and league leaders are on 26 points. Last season it was 30 (actually wasn't Wolves but Sheffield United interestingly enough). Wolves then motored away from everyone from that point. If points stay the same the projected league winners will finish on "only" 85 points so completely different to last season. Was quite surprised we're only 5 points worse off than this time last year so perhaps still some hope we can challenge for top 6 at least. Big chance has gone begging to challenge for automatic promotion though. If we had last season's team this year I'd be pretty confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 So many shit sides this year its unreal. Such a shame bruce screwed us over as we should be taking advantage with the attacking talent we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 The league is so weak this season, just a shame we don't have a properly balanced squad to take advantage of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 If we had a half decent defence and a keeper we would have walked it this year. What a bloody shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in fairness to Pulis (excuse me I suddenly feel the need to spit), at least he’s briefly had Boro in the position where it looked like they might win the damn thing. And doing so with having had to sell a couple of his better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
