Who would have thought accountants would hide things and fiddle to save a rich person some money.

Malanda experiment as CDM has failed every week, idea sounds good as gives flexibility to go 5 at back but then he is a liability in defence!

Brian M @briom1970.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
And another example of a disorganised panicking shite defence. 3 weeks of pure defensive training to teach them basic defending and organising.

He needs a spell out as liability on and off the ball.

Weekly post, shite defending again, Malanda too laidback

Do the Boro coaches look at the opponents and work out a game plan? They have pace up front and aerial threat so we play Bill who struggles against both then we play a winger who keeps trying to get a cross in against 7ft tall CB's. Need to attack with pace through the channels.

Boro defence is shite. If we want to stay and challenge for promotion someone needs to sort out basic defending.

Brian M @briom1970.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
You never see Malanda busting a gut to get back, he let 50 year old Ayling chase back in last 5, doesn't seem to have that attitude to battle or dominate for his size.

Hopefully getting nearer to Jones and Phillips in centre with Malanda and Ayling on sub's bench. Barron is our natural CDM replacement.
001
Brian M @briom1970.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Our central defenders have been terrible, Malanda slow and lazy whether at back or in midfield. What's wrong with playing proper midfielder like Barron or Pukstas?

Always looks like stuck in second gear, started well then faded as season went on, possibly due to US playoffs so no big break but started this season in same lazy manner.

Was saying the same to my wife last week when he was pontificating about phone thefts in London, total hypocrite.

Because the defenders are shite. Put giant Burn on then he was nowhere near the 6 yard box.

If he wants to resign then stand in the election he should have to pay the costs as purely a ego thing.

Sorry Boro but you have seriously dropped a bollock with these. Home is just Man U as Boro have white band to make us different. The 2 away shirts are just standard off the peg ones that you would see a kids team buy and the special edition is atrocious, as though you are ashamed of the badge.

Brian M @briom1970.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
On the plus side the only ones sold will be by the club as wouldn't even pay DHGATE for these.

Boro doing their best to put DHGate out of business as people won't even pay fir a fake as they are that shite.

Expanding the competition has resulted in too many poor teams and matches that on paper you can’t be bothered watching.

So he is going to go after Musk, Tommy Ten Names, Farage and Lowe or just their easily led working class minions?

Owner wanting to save compensation money and waiting for FA to do the job for him. Probably scared that Tonda will spill all the beans if sacked.

He hasn’t had to fight for his place so not improved this season and although he kept us in some games he has made errors in big matches. We needed a number 2 keeper to keep him on his toes.

They have admitting breaking the rules in a knockout competition, the usual punishment for this is expulsion from the contest. Teams have been kicked out before for fielding ineligible players is one example.

As an aspiring MP he will say whatever gets him the most support with the voters as seen on his changing stance on the EU, once PM he will do what his paymasters tell him.

Lots of people voted tactically last time and look what we got. We should not have to vote to get a better bad, hence the need for PR.

With Hackney sale, Rogers sale and sell on plus 8 figure compo Hellberg could have a decent amount to build the team he wants as long as the recruitment don’t screw up again 🤞🏻

Their punishment will be worse but it will close the door for us to replace them in the final. Final will be them and Hull but with Southampton banned from being promoted like Swindon years ago. Then it is over to our legal team and legal teams of other clubs.

Norwich have come out and said they are not involved. Best for us if no other team involved.

As with lots of large corporations with government contracts they keep getting rewarded for mediocrity and incompetence by gaining more contracts. Must be lots of brown envelopes getting past around.
