Middlesbrough v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[auntiesledd]

Prehistoric man v Bruceosaurus. I feel sorry for the ball.

It will have some lovely views of the north east

There’s no such thing. And certainly not in Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough is awful but there are some stunning views and places in the north east.

The North Yorkshire moors I guess you'te referring to Chris. I see why people go on about it up there, but to me it always feels a bit desolate.

Not a patch on Alton Towers.

North Yorkshire Moors are bleak, nothing like the Yorkshire Dales, real God's Country. Northumberland is the pick of the North East.
Middlesborough must be the ugliest place I've ever been to. It's no wonder they call the locals the Smoggies. Chemical, toxic shithole. Close by, Yarm is worth a visit.

Welcome to Middlesborough on a good day

That's Grangemouth: East Sterlingshire's Petrochemical Vegas!

I take it nobody here has had the pleasure of visiting Immingham.  It makes Boro look like Winchester.

Immingham is ace, like something out of Blade Runner.

You're right. Apologies. This is Middlesbrough..

Don't worry.  The North Yorkshire Moors are at the heart of the fracking bonanza.  They will have the whole area looking like Sandwell in no time at all.

Where *soon* = 2021!

down to 9th after Cardiff's latest faux pas and tbh I can't see anything other than a Pulis inspired pulverization today - but at least it might/should hasten Potato's demise

Cocteau Twins are from Grangemouth and had a song called Heaven or Las Vegas. True story.

Should out number their meat and two veg central 2 and have the additional height for the bombardment. Two mobile players to push on. Jack to play where he likes and the full backs to really press high.

Adomah injury and Snodgrass being in rank form means we have to change shape. Whelan is a liability.

Must win. Draw isn't good enough. There's a chance to make the automatics a two game turn around and end this slump.

What has happened to Bree

He needs to mature a bit more before he's ready.

[VILLA MOLE]

Shame as we seemed to make such an effort to get him

[cdbearsfan]

He needs to mature a bit more before he's ready.

What have you done?

What have you done?

Act causal. *puts hands in pockets and whistles*

He needs to mature a bit more before he's ready.

What have you done?

Ignoring the horror of another punathon it's a good question. I've always thought he looks really promising, so where the hell is he.

Still tonnes of time left for Bree to come through, we can mould him into a quality player.
