Re: Middleborough - Brighton
Wanted Brighton to win. If Boro don't spend big, then they'll struggle next season.
Re: Middleborough - Brighton
Pete - you're still talking out of your sphincter
Bournemouth and Watford have shown that you don't need to spend big to stay in the EPL.
It will be interesting how Gibson plays it. Boro's P&L reserve deficit has built up to about £170m in recent years so will he play it low key to help clear that deficit or will he throw a fair chunk at it. I'd go for somewhere closer to bankrolling than not.
Fucking delighted to be a Darlo and Boro fan this season though.

Re: Middleborough - Brighton
Isn't £37m spending big like?
Re: Middleborough - Brighton
Why don't people want boro to win. A team that has helped us and wished us well. We would prefer Brighton a team with no association except a former keeper. Don't get it
Re: Middleborough - Brighton
The bigger NE clubs in the Premier League allow more local players to be filtered out and available to us.
Re: Middleborough - Brighton
Really pleased for Boro personally. I work with a few Boro fans and they always ask after us, and were buzzing for us when we won our league.
Hopefully now we're moving back up the pyramid and will have our own home again as of next season, we can play them in some pre season friendlies in the future. Be a good money spinner and a chance to test ourselves against a club in the Premier League.

Re: Middleborough - Brighton
Interesting to read how the Boro fans were singing their owner's name this afternoon.
I've heard it's not like that on Tyneside. Looks like Sunderland might be the ones staying up. If the odds for Boro are 5000 to 1 to win the premiership, like Leicester were, wonder if they're worth a punt? Realy pleased they've got promoted; I know both sets of fans look out for each others results.

Forget Watford & Bournemouth, look at Leicester. The whole squad cost something like £40million didn't it? I'm sure Middlesbrough will have every chance of being competitive next season - gone are the days when you can easily pick out the teams that will struggle. There's now so much money that everyone can do well if they are shrewd.

Re: Middleborough - Brighton
I agree with Pete, Boro need to invest significant to have any hope of staying up. GK is not good enough and at 37 past his best, Gaston is on loan, Leadbitter is not a premier league player, Nugent/Rhodes/Adomah good championship players.
Ayala/Gibson/Clayton/Friend the best of a bad bunch.
I'm delighted for Boro and the area they have went up, and you wouldn't put it past Steve Gibson to pull off some unbelievable signings as he has in the past like Ravanelli/Emerson/Juninho/Boksic etc.
Had Curtis Main got another year he would have being part of today's celebrations!!

Re: Middleborough - Brighton
I work with a few Boro fans and they'll be unbearable tomorrow. Very few of the boro players are Premiership quality players. I do take your point about Bournemouth, what they have achieved this season is nothing short of remarkable, especially on crowds of just over 10000.

Re: Middleborough - Brighton

Ayala, Gibson, Friend, Clayton, Downing, and Stuani are more than capable of playing in the premier

Not sure about Downing any more.bertbanger wrote:wot u on about??

I (and others) expected him to have a huge season but he under-delivered to be honest. Definitely agree with you about the others though.

Re: Middleborough - Brighton
Dont know why some Darlo fans cant be pleased for Boro, after all they are our neighbours. I have supported both teams for over 50 years and i am a season ticket holder for both. For those of you who have short memories or who are too young to know Middlesbrough and Darlo have had an excellent relationship over the years, with many many players joining Darlo from the Boro either on loan or permanently to the benefit of both clubs, Darlo even played Burnley at the Riverside because of problems with the Darlo pitch.Middlesbrough have played many a pre season friendly at Darlo to boost the Darlo coffers. Now that Darlo are climbing back up the leagues we need all the help we can from the likes of Boro.with loaning players from them again. Hopefully all three big clubs in the north east will play pre season friendlies next season, and boost Darlo's finances.

Re: Middleborough - Brighton
Personally I'm chuffed to bits that the Boro got promoted - they not only filled our buckets in 2012 but a Boro season ticket holder hosted the Back to Darlo site and now hosts the Supporters Group site absolutely free of charge, and allows us to develop new ideas behind the scenes with no restrictions at all (so long as we don't crash his server).
