I honestly think Boro have been the worst premier league side in recent memory (excluding Derby) 

 

I often look at relegated sides and think 'at least they gave it a go' and I'd even put Sunderland in that category, they've attacked at times they just can't defend  

 

Boro have been painfully boring, had little or no tactical ideas and have wasted an experienced target man by having no one to play off him! Madness.

 

Pleased to see them go down and I've never really said that about a team. 

 

He might be the nicest chairman but he needs to grow a set and start being more ruthless with managers!

Almost forgot about that for a minute. One of the "bigger" clubs to get relegated in recent memory, and did it with such style!

[Tuna]

Lets not forget the 05/06 Sunderland team that finished on 15 points under Mick McCarthy.

Funnily enough I thought they played quite well in both games against us but I agree they were something else last year

Not that we'll be interested in Ramirez anymore, but apparently when we turned his head in Jan and he threw a strop after they wouldn't sell, it destroyed his form, and that might have been what ultimately sent Boro down

I was so pleased we didn't get Ramirez, painfully average

Interesting fact I have just been told:

Hull have spent more days at the top of the Premier League than Spurs in the last two seasons.

Can they show this fact on the weekend after they show  how spurs are in first place over the last two seasons. You know  another useless stat that means fook all

Derby County 2007-2008

 

History says it all.............. they were bad

[Ric Flair]

Funnily enough the dog muck Aston Villa of last season and the abysmal Middlesborough of this season gave us a bit of bother over the 4 fixtures and resulted in only 1 win! Hahaha

Even more boring, it's always Kante winning it.

Would have been yet another overpriced, overrated flop who simply didn't fit in here.

Be so funny when we do the double swoop in the summer for him and Gibson

[Guest Col city fan]

I wouldn't judge a player like Ramirez this season, playing for Middlesbrough.

They are an AWFUL side with a manager that has proven clueless in the Premiership and simply sets them up defensively to try to not concede.

Ramirez would never flourish playing this way. He's a bit like a poor man's Gylfi and would only show anything if playing in an attack minded team.

I just don't see it with Gibson. What's all the fuss about? To me, he seems like an average centre back, local boy (and related to the owner), playing in a shit team. No thanks

You'd have to be disappointed as a Middlesbrough fan waiting all those years to go up from the championship and when they got there went down with barely a whimper.

 

At least Swansea or Hull will go down having actually had a go. Can't say that of Boro.

 

 

I feel for them, in a lot of ways Boro remind me of us - the whole rivalry dynamic with Toon and Mackems, the run of glory years in the Premiership before being banished to the Championship - a biggish club that people had forgotten about, and we could have easily gone down in our first season after finally making it back to the PL.

 

Obviously our recent history has made all that irrelevant now, but I hope to see Middlesbrough back in the PL sooner rather than later.

Young, solid, English, plenty of potential- maybe not for the fees being quoted, but I can see it.

 

I think he'd fit in here, obviously works well in a team who defend deep in numbers.

 

Ramirez, though... I just can't see him being a success here.

next season Bournemouth will go down after beating us 2-1 and 1-0.

 

can't believe we still haven't beaten them in 3 attempts. Hopefully 4th time lucky soon!

It was worrying we thought he was worth £15m which doesn't bode well for the summer.

 

26 years old

14 goals in 88 PL games

From Southampton to Hull to Middlesbrough

 

We should at least be attempting to sign players who can be top 6 or 7 players. There is nothing to suggest that Ramirez is anywhere near that level. He's another Musa/Mendy type signing for me, big money and probably not good enough to improve the first team and will be a bench player.

Strange this season for Boro.

I though they'd do well with their sqaud

 

Feel for the Boro fans
