AND
Middlesbrough blow hot and cold, it’s because they are from the north ish. There will be a full Friday round up and more tears from the clown to come.
Middlesbrough have a manager called Neil Warnock, Neil lives in Cornwall, which is not too far away from Middlesbrough. Neil has lived in Cornwall since before now, he recently lived there a lot due to the fact there wasn’t any football. But then, he didn’t have much football to do either, he was like a boat without a rudder, a car without a wheel, a biscuit without the chocolate. In fact he was like a man without a penis. Neil has a big penis, he waves it about a lot. On Thursdays he waves it about and on Saturday mornings. He calls his penis ‘ My elastic lasso’ Neil flys his own plane from Cornwall to Middlesbrough for training sessions, be bought it off John Travolta on a summer night. Bruce Dickinson taught him to fly last year in the lockdown. Apart from that Neil is pretty normal, although most of the time he isn’t. We like Neil. Be like Neil.
This is Neil’s favourite lasso penis swinger
Middlesbrough used to pass the ball to each other, now they don’t. Here is a brief history of the club. Neil Warnock has just signed a penis extension, we would like to congratulate him for that. In 1801, Middlesbrough was a small farm with a population of just 25; during the latter half of the 19th century, it experienced rapid growth. Like Neil’s penis. A Welsh community was established in Middlesbrough sometime before the 1840s, with mining being the main form of employment. Wales loves a mine. This Welsh population grew rapidly after 1841 when John Vaughan established the first ironworks on Teesside (The Vulcan Works) at Middlesbrough. Vaughan had worked his way up through the industry at the Dowlais Ironworks in south Wales and encouraged hundreds of the skilled Welsh workers to follow him to Teesside. These migrants ( migrants ? ) included three figures who would became important leaders in the commercial, political and cultural life of the town: If Middlesbrough had not done this they would still only have twenty five people living there.

Past games
Middlesbrough somehow won the last encounter at their place 2-1. It was in December. A memorable game was an FA Cup replay on the 17th January 1995, Swansea won 2-1 at then Ayresome Park. Oddly enough Linkin Park played Newcastle that night, but it wasn’t a game of football. The first game was in 1925 Swansea won 4-0 in a division two game. In 1926 Boro beat Swansea 7-1 which tells you there’s been a few goals about in this fixture, a cursory glance reveals more than twice the average goals have been scored for this amount of games. When the swans were going for promotion to the premier league in 2011 they won 3-4 at Middlesbrough and Craig Beattie scored, he ran and ran and ran when he scored, and was never seen again. Then manager Paulo Sousa said ‘ Ive never seen him run before, and anyway I don’t sign players’
The last picture ever taken of Craig Beattie running. He had never run anywhere before. Even Mark from ‘the’ Gower couldn’t catch him

That article was pure Colin. It made me chuckle, especially as i could almost hear his voice.
As already mentioned put Hourihan supporting Ayew with the MF 3 being Fulton, Smith and Grimes.
3-1 or 3-2. | |

With Manning, CH and Grimes, 3-1-4-1-1 . CH behind Ayew.
Grimes bosses from deep, Smith dogs, Fulton dogs and links, RM and CR wreak havoc up, down, inside, outside.
CH bosses from high, shapes the front-half. Talisman Ayew finishes, leads the line, leads our high defence, along with CH who has some celtic bite despite what some detractors say. Our very own celtic Hoddle, with the bit between his teeth right now.
Add finishers Lowe and Whitaker who work their socks off to underpin our resilient, driving confidence in securing a win. Which is our biggest edge over most teams in this league and the biggest edge we have had under any manager in quite some time. Our belief and self confidence is unrivalled.
A devastating line up and Wily Warnock will be cacking himself when he reads this. | |

Apart from supplying most of our assists with excellent crosses? I know Mannings ball in for Roberts was a beauty but let’s not rewrite history eh? | |

Like I said, I know Bidwell has got a few goals/assists this year but I don't think he's the most natural attacking player. Afterall, he was a fairly 'steady eddy' (by QPR accounts) left-back that we've more or less converted into a wing back. Manning on the other hand has played a lot of games in midfield in his career so it's perhaps understandable that he is a more technical, attacking type player. Has Bidwell ever looked as dangerous from shots as Manning did on Wednesday night?
There's also no way round the fact Bidwell's been pretty poor for a while now. Manning has to start IMO. [Post edited 6 Mar 2021 3:44]

Who crossed for Conner goal v Coventry. I think Bidwell has had a good season and he always gives 100 per cent. It always healthy to have 2 players competing for the same position. | | | |

Agree with you on Manning but you’re completely underestimating the contribution Bidwell has made this season. I think it’s 7 assists and his defensive work has been very good too although he’s not been at his best recently. Bidwell has been very consistent to be fair adapting really well to that LWB slot. Both good players, you could toss a coin today as they both deserve to start.. | |

It could be argued that during games Manning could be brought on as a midfielder with the prime objective of creating dangerous overloads with Bidwell on the left side. Lucky to have both your right but Bidwell has a hardness about him that gives him that fraction of an edge especially whilst defending corners etc etc . | |

Connor didn't score v Coventry. Cabango did. Connor scored v Forest - cross by Bidwell. | | | |

Bidwell is a dreadful fullback, wingback suits him far better.
What is noticeable is Naughton, Roberts, Ayew combination on the right is starting to play triangles to gain space .. almost like watching Rangel, Leon and Routs. | |

Lot been asking for this diamond we are using today and it worked well on Wednesday, my worry is the lack of pace but we will soon see! Should work very well with two wing backs flying forward though.
Come on you swans!! | | | |

Genuinely think this is our best eleven at the moment.
Looks like the weather in Swansea is half decent too.
Surprised to see Bennett back, but it’s a big plus. | |
