sunderland v boro

Im the same, hes been a massive player for us recently Chopra, hes easily the best finisher at the club and his general movement and positioning is first class, caused boro all sorts of problems yesterday.

Think the best from him is still to come at this level, hes been improving all season and has got some vital goals for us this year, and has got 3 in the last 5 games.

Chops =

I rate Chopra and cant get my head around keanos 4-5-1 formation.my starting 11 with the squad we have would be

Gordon

Bardsley, Nos, Evans, Collins

Edwards, whitehead, Richardson (in the middle pushing up), and reid on the left

Jones, Chopra

but Keano probably knows more about football than me so I'll let him crack on

I'd probably go the same mate, we havent got the quality of midfielder needed for 451 to work. The 2 away games before the mags we played 442 and won them both, so cant understand even now why he went 451 in that game.

Like you say though, hes took us from bottom of the championship to 13th in the Prem in less than 2 years, so who am i to question?

i cant imagine the feeling of disappointment new boro signings get when they first see the city or land at durham tees valley

id be fucking gutted

I have faith in his ability to take us forward, and I'm realistic.Slow and steady progress all the way.I hope hes true to his word and wants to build something at sunderland and be here for 10-15 years

lol I know luckily for them ket is sold on every street corner so they can start living in a dreamworlsd as soon as theyve got there baggage

proper sickner that injury time goal like lol we didnt deserve it tho and sunderland were the better team. loads of chew at the end like when the bobbies weren't letting the fans out in thje concourse for a piss

and why would we (boro fans) give a fuck if sunderland or newcastle dont see us as a derby match, as if ya think that would get to us lol

To be honest, I think we're living in a dream world if we think any of our clubs can attract top class players this summer. It doesn't matter how much money Keane gets to spend- if a player is worth 10-15million, then he will move to one of the top 6 or a big team abroad. He's not going to spend £40-50million on 4 or 5 players unless he pays well over the odds.

Newcastle are a bigger club, but I think that we'll have the same problem in the summer. You can't attract the best players without European football, and we'll end up paying over the odds as we have countless times before.

Boro aren't even worth talking about....
