I have a feeling 'Boro will be a top ten side next season. Alves and Tuncay look great up front and with Downing staying and Wheater coming to prominence, i think they will do well.

I'm with you on that. They looked quite good at Ewood - just missed someone to finish their chances. Alves will be that man.

Me too. Southgates doing a decent job imo........... and just how lucky were we to get a point from em at Ewood?

Life with Frank at City- sting in the tail there if City supporters find out in December that the gate money is double mortgaged; part for the Stadium rental and part for Frank.

By all accounts, Dunne's red card will not do enough damage to City's stupid Fair Play score to drop them below Fulham so they will be in the UEFA.

Southgate doing a good job? He's spent gallons of £ and his team play like drunks over two legs against a technically shambolic Sheff Utd in the FA Cup and then go and get knocked out by Cardiff City. In the league, barring some spirited displays against the top sides, they have been almost consistently crud. The thrashing on Man City puts a very, very thin veneer on a disappointing season.

For a club that have a prolific academy producing good young players and a chairman prepared to invest heavily on transfers, Southgate is doing terribly.

On another note, the most predictable transfer this close-season? No, not Lionel Messi to Spurs but Stephen Hunt to Reading for an absurdly tall fee.

Its started already:

"With the signing of a world class player in Modric and a signing of great potential in Dos Santos, Tottenham are beginning to assemble a very tasty looking squad. If they keep Berbatov and start getting the best from what is a great manager, they could be a real force next season and on paper at least are capable of breaking into the top 4."

They can still only field 11 players.............. that is unless the press are now running the FA!

Unless Spuds stiffen up their midfield and defence, they'll be like Newcastle in the 1st Keegan era-great to watch, dangerous, but will be undone by a weak defence.

There may be a few good signings on the cheap if Spurs keeping signing these players.

Modric is quality clearly. I'm not sure about this Dos Santos bloke though. If he's so good then why did Barca let him leave? There's no sign of Bojan flying the nest which suggest he's the real gem not this guy. With any luck Spurs have been robbed blind. Again.

He's pretty good, they certainly haven't beeen robber blind. I don't know how well he'll do in the premiership, but he'll turn into a solid player, I think he would probably be on a par with someone like Reyes when he's fully developed. He'll score some crackers and have great games, but won't do it week-in-week-out.

I saw that one too...maybe the pompey money pot is drying up?

Or self-gratification on Redknapp's behalf. After making a career of dealing in bargains and earning praise for his ingenuity, he must be getting withdrawal symptoms from not snapping up scrappy doo-dahs and being praised as a "wheeler-dealer" when they score a goal. I mean, you don't hear people going on about Redknapp's great signings at Pompey - because when you spend that sort of money and those sort of wages, it would be a crime of Kidd-ean proportions for the majority not to be decent.

Glenn Little must have been offered very decent money because he will be lucky to get a game and thus cannot be going their for career development.

Perhaps they're saving for the new stadium; or they might feel that Little could come in useful as a Brickie's mate.
