well i know that feel ( kinda )
2009 ago when we got relegated we only won the first homegame and lost 10

Damn, also noticed Nurnberg hasnt won a single game. Could a simple player like Simmons be missing for them?

If it makes you feel any better, Middlesbrough had 12 points from 13 games this season when Tony Mowbray was managing the team. Aitor Karanka has taken over (There were a few matches in between where we just had a caretaker manager) and we have got to a point where under his reign, we have gained 20 points in his 12 games in charge, especially now that he has found his balance in the team!

Our last 6 league games have been 5 wins and 1 draw.

This should hopefully happen to OHL when they get taken on by someone else. A lot of the time, just requires someone who can bring the team together and show them a little motivation!!

I am of course proud to be a Middlesbrough fan, and we play Leicester at the top of the table on Saturday! Will be rooting for my team, that is for sure! Lets keep this unbeaten league record! (Note we did get beaten 2-0 by Hull city in the FA cup, but just means we can concentrate on the league!)

That's what we all hope
I don't have that many doubts in it tho, at home we are still a relative strong side, so we will get the points I think.

In case anyone is interested: the golden shoe is being presented in Belgium today, it's basicly the "ballon d'or of belgium" with belgian players being selected

Top favourite is Thorgan Hazard, second to Lestienne and Vossen

Fixed

Goal of the year: Jell Vossen (Genk) overhead kick vs KV Kortrijk
Keeper of the year: Silvio Proto (Anderlecht)
Young player of the year: Thorgan Hazard (Zulte Waregem)
Coach of the year: Franky Dury (Zulte Waregem)
Best Belgian in foreign league: Thibaut Courtois (Atletico Madrid)
Golden shoe player of the year: Thorgan Hazard (Zulte Waregem)

Thorgan won close vs Lestienne and surprisingly Proto was third.

All winners were deserved.

Oh it was right in the first place You know it is gunna be a draw though right? Due to the fact that neither of us then get bragging rights? heh...



My team are currently trying to buy Jelle Vossen!! We nearly got him in the summer

Well the rumours of him going didn't go that far tbh, he did get a big new contract in order for him to stay in Belgium.

hazards brother going ham?
do you think he'll have chances to play at chelsea?
