Absolutely delighted about this and young Ryan Sessegnon signing extensions. better than any signing we could have expected.

You have a decent squad by the looks of things. You should come close this season!

Fulham are up there as favourites with Villa and Boro so they are doing something right. It's gonna be a great season for the Championship, some tense derbies, the Sheffield clubs and dirty Leeds, Brum Villa and Wolves, Burton Derby and Forest, Ipswich and Delia's mob, Boro and Sunderland.
 
He might be shit now anyway. It's a pricey gamble for villa to buy someone at his age and expect him to play 2 games a week.

Bit rougher down there as well. He will be out to prove a point though and will be a good bet for first goalscorer, he's quite useful in corners.

He has always had good players around him so the step down may expose him as he's getting on a bit. I have won a nice few quid out of him over the years for scoring first. I doubt the bookies will be offering 25's on him this time round.

True. Him and Dan Petrescu were great odds.

Millwall got a couple of nice derbies coming up, QP ha ha, Brentford, Fulham. Small grounds, great atmospheres.

They have a very tough start and a fucking basket case for a manager. We have them in september and would love to get that cunt Holloway sacked after a hammering from us. I love going to Fulham and more so when the weather is good, it's a lovely old ground. Not sure if Brentford have moved yet so may have a new ground to visit and tick off the list.

Maaan, don't drag me into this thread yet. I almost forgot about relegation for a bit. :mad: :(

Plenty of change going on at boro atm. New manager. Players being cleaned out like there's no tomorrow. No incomers yet :hmm:

Some of the "guess the opening day line up" teamsheets that are being posted on the boro forums are almost unrecognisable to me...

Championship, eh? Bring it on!

Craven Cottage is seriously the best football ground left out there at the moment. Love the place.

nice ground for sure, but colder than a witches tit for some reason, whenever i've been anyway. crap atmosphere and no decent pubs nearby afaic. i like preston nob end for some reason.

glad we didn't sign terry - waaay too expensive and a huge gamble - vilers were all saying hes shit and over the hill when it looked like he was going to blues, now hes signed for them he's suddenly the messiah! but thats football fans innit. could go either way, but its a big risk by dr tony genius billionaire owner! weve signed the centre back from barnsley, marc roberts and he looks a decent player tbh.

You can't have looked very hard. There's loads of decent pubs within a 15/20 minute walk of Craven Cottage

Shocking 0-1 defeat. That was literally men against boys. Mad Felix Magath thought our U21 team would walk the championship. Nope.

Holloway got applaued off the field (not by me ) that day. I knew we were in for a tough season under him and i wasn't wrong.
