close game against tottenham saw juninho injured for 5 months as
boro battled to a close 1-0 win


sold schwarzer on a free to derby to get rid of his huge wages
bought carson from leeds for 500k and shaaban on a free to replace him at massive
salary saving

next game home to sheff utd, a nice easy banker, at least it was until the attack
didn't score with 22 shots, 1 cd got injured, the other sent off and then an
attaker went off injured after using all my subs. fianl score 0-0 and happy with
1 point

torquay at home in league cup, played reserves even though i had only played 1
game in a month, with the exception of olidisade who was back from a 3 match ban
the decision to play olisidabe was rewarded with 2 goals for him, a 3rd from
ashikodi sealed a comfortable 3-0 win, although reserve striker wiig was taken off
early after 2 bad fouls left him barely able to walk

decided to sell the higher earning players again, (allowing me to make use of the undoubtedly
talented young players at the club) so listed wehrman, nam il, ehiogu

4th game against everton dominated throughout, but a blinding man of the match display
by richard wright saving over 20 shots meant boro succumbed to a 2-0 loss


accepted an offer for 700k from sheff utd he is joining them on jan 1st

kasey wehrman joining newcastle on jan 1st for 1m

wed 17/11 at home to wolves, decide to entertain the fans and go on all out attack from the start, giving
antonsson a few games in place of the injured kompany, and yaya also out for 4 weeks. a great start with
2 goals in the first 10 mins for olidabe before wolves pulled 1 back after 20 mins boro dominated the rest
of the half but couldn't find that 3rd goal. ht 2-1. 2nd half same as the first boro on top missing
lots of easy chances before on 71 min pearson got the 3rd goal and on 84mins salpinigidis sealed a great
win 4-1 boro

20/11 charlton away, after the success against wolves it was decided to maintain the extra attacking focus
the only changes to the team being wurtz in for nam il, riggott keeping his place even though tellez was fit
again.boro immediately on the attack, oskarsson missing a good chance after only 10s, 22min and
gamst pederson hits the post with a great free kick, which was his last act before being subbed due to a knock
boro remain on top in first half but couldn't score ht 0-0. 46 min fortune sent off for charlton dean kiely
the only thing keeping boro at bay, until in 53 min oskarsson breaks the deadlock. 63 min oskarsson makes
it 2-0 with a well placed penalty 72min and another red card for rufus for a professional foul in the box
oskarsson missed that penalty ft 2-0

27/11 crunch derby game with newcastle, after the impresive away win at charlton i decide to go with an
unchanged team and continue in this attacking style. great early pass by olisadabe sets up oskarsoon on 5 mins,
before olisadabe himself nets the second on 10mins. gamst pederson fouled out of the game again on 37 mins
pressure at the end of the 1st half brings the best from kristianson in the boro goal. ht 2-0.
pearson free kick hits the post on 51 mins as boro reestablish dominance. great play by antonsson in defence
frees up olisadabe to set up oskarsson, 3-0. oskarsson seals hat trick with a penalty in 74th min.
absalonsen seals a great win on 84th minute 5-0. jenas with consolation goal on 88 mins. ft 5-1

sunday 5th december away to blackburn can the run continue, injuries meant the first changes in a few games
with kah being replaced at rb by parnaby and olsen going onto the bench in place of absalonsen. a great
break from defense resulted in oskarsson scoring on 3 mins. a mistake by antonsson let in agali to equalise
on 22 mins. straight away olisadabe missed an easy chance. close first half klompe scores from a corner
2-1 blackburn ht blackburn 2 middlesbrough 1. great move by boro brings the equaliser for oskarsson, late
goal by blackburn gives them the lead through agali and an 87th minute penalty put away by neill seals boros
defeat 4=2 blackburn

23.10.2004

Gillingham 1 – 0 Sunderland

A very tough trip to Gillingham was my first task as Sunderland manager. My first aim with this squad was to get some commitment, and to get them playing for the famous Black and Red shirt. The fans were desperate for some decent performances, and I intended to provide them with one.

However, it was not to be. After some promising early openings, Gillingham scored through Brian Barry-Murphy, and we lacked the fire power to get back into the match.

Perhaps turning this overpaid rabble of foreigners into a premiership side was not going to be as easy as I first anticipated?

Sunderland 2 – 1 Derby

A much stronger performance here, even though it was not the most convincing result against an underachieving Derby side. Taking the lead through Brett Ormerod, I felt confident we were going to win by four or five. But Richard Cresswell hit back for Derby, and then they sat back, looking happy to take home a draw. But Sunderland local boy Kevin Kyle came to our rescue, with a tap in on the 90th minute.

A fantastic start at home. Brett Ormerod (or Brett Ohmygodhe’sugly as he is affectionately known) clear man of the match.

Sunderland 1 – 1 Watford

A huge step down here. Watford came to the Stadium of Light begging for a thrashing. Missing chance after chance, we were lucky to take the lead through Aston Villa’s loan striker Stefan Moore. Yet once again we took our foot off the pedal and allowed Watford back into it, Danny Webber getting a goal before half time. The second half progressed and it looked like the Black Cats might get two last minute wins in two when Moore won a penalty. However Robert Earnshaw failed to convert, and he was on his way back home to Cardiff in no time.

West Ham 1 – 2 Sunderland

Unbelievably, this game went almost exactly the same. It’s just this time, Jeff Whitley stepped up for the penalty and not Robert Earnshaw. After Stefan Moore once again scored, West Ham hit back, but it all set it up for Whitley’s great penalty, blasted into the bottom corner.

A great run of results, which had to end some time…

Rotherham 3 – 0 Sunderland

A lacklustre performance at Rotherham, capped by Jeff Whitley’s sending off. A wreckless elbow cost him 3 games and his regular starting place. It also lost the Black Cats valuable space on the playoff places.

Sunderland 2 – 0 Millwall

A convincing performance against rock bottom Millwall broke the run of losses. Stefan Moore scored once again and Stephen Wright converted a penalty. No out and out penalty taker is paying dividends for Sunderland at the moment!

Sunderland 1 – 2 Stoke

Unbelievable bad luck let Stoke get away with this travesty of a result. The cheeky pikeys stole two goals and just couldn’t lie down and die like they were supposed to. Not a bad performance from the Black Cats, just a cheating team of Stoke CHEATS.

Wimbledon 2 – 1 Sunderland

This time Sunderland beaten convincingly and were weak in all areas. Sunderland need to pick up otherwise playoff plans are going to go into the bin.

league cup round 4

boro at home to chelski all stars. only option is to attack and hope the inexperienced defense can see
boro through to the next round. even first few minutes to the game before on 10 mins robinho puts chelsea
ahead. tight until oskarsson equalises on 34 mins and the a wonder goal by pearson puts boro 2-1 up at
half time. cavenaghi equalised on 58 mins with a breakaway. a clearly offside robinho puts chelsea 3-2
up only great saves by cudicini keep chelsea ahead. pearson hits the bar in injury time. ft 3-2 chelsea

murphy banned from touchline for 3 weeks after having a massive go at the ref over the winning goal which
was miles offside. the referee ivan loves chelski was escorted off the pitch by 8 policemen forhis own
protection


18th december
man city at home, terrible start kompany conceeds a penalty on 15seconds and sun jihai made no mistake.
disaster continued when on 5 mins robbie fowler scored. boro were poor in the first half and changes
needed to be made. kristianson the keeper was injured so shaaban went in goal and parnaby came on for
antonsson.oskarsson and pearson seal a good boro comeback marred only by injuries to gamst pederson and
oskarsson. ft 2-2


disaster as coco is injured in training and out for 6 months


sunday 26th arsenal at home

with the team ravaged by injuries, several changes had to be made, shaaban in goal, hill at left back,
salpingidis up front, yaya in midfield all had to be brought in. boro start brightly and take the lead
through salpangidis on 13 mins, but tierry henry scores 2 in 5 mins to put arsenal ahead. not put off,
boro go straight on the attack and equalise through salpanigidis and take the lead through a gamst pederson
penalty in 1st half injury time pahars equalises against the run of play. 71 mins a great run by reich and
olisidabe finishes at the far post 4-3, 75 mins and a great chip by olisidabe makes it 5-3. 85 mins henry
completes hattrick. but to no avail. boro hold on for a brilliant 5-4 win

wed 29th away to birmingham

same team as beat arsenal 3 days earlier, can boro keep the good foem going?
5 mins salpingidis hits the post birmingham take the lead on 9 mins through figueroa. on 22 mins salpingidis
again hits the same post. all boro as the half continued but boro couldnt get the breakthrough before half time
62mins morrison puts birmingham 2up with another breakaway goal. 67 mins yaya pulls one back, 71 figueroa makes
it 3-1. 91st minute reich makes it 3-2 but to no avail boro lose dissapointing 3-2

new years day away to liverpool

after 2 games in 6 days the team are shattered as injuries have taken there toll. yaya is away on international
duty which further reduces the options available resulting in a recall for razmus wortz. game starts with
liverpool well on top. they take the lead through cisse on 22 mins. go 2-0 after 33 again through cisse.
diouf makes it 3-0 just before half time. cisse seals his hattrick on 53 mins, liverpool thoroughly deserve
their 4-0 win

the good work of beating arsenal undone in 2 away games in 3 days
matters get worse when kompany gets injured for 3 months in training


to ease matters, i signed jorge torales from characita for 1.3m and loaned julio arca from sunderland and
castillo from man utd, and elmander from feyenoord


jan 8th facup 3rd round vs cheltenham town
arca and castillo straight in starting line up, torales on the bench, for what should be an easy game for boro.
37 mins castillo breaks the deadlock. brought torales on at half time for olisidabe who had a slight knock.
2nd half similar to the first, cheltenham happy to defend boro takeing things easy. altough i command 1-0 is never
enough. but boro cant get the second. cheltenham played hard but couldn't get any chances as boro progress 1-0.

is this the start of another cup run for last years beateb finalists

[retired_bmun2001]

Monday 5th Session

Before this session started Plymouth were riding high in 5th place and looking good for pormotion maybe to division one. A few losses that plymouth didnt need happened but luckily plymouth came back strong and won the remaining games. Here is how plymouth got on in all their games

Plymouth 0-2 Leyton Orient

A great start for the first session after the 2 week break. Plymouth didnt really do much and leyton orient deserved all the 3 points as there wasnt much threat from Plymouth at all.

Chesterfield 4-0 Plymouth

Plymouth's most feared team in division two showed them why they was plymouths most feared. A stunning performance from chesterfield made plymouth look very small.

Plymouth 4-0 Huddersfield
Scorers: weatherson (2), walton (2)

Because plymouth now knew what it was like to lose 4-0 they decided that they would have a good go at winning 4-0 this time and they did just that. A great performance by both of the strike due seen out opponents huddersfield very quickly.

Plymouth 3-1 Stevenage
Vans trophy
Scorers: weatherson, davidson, walton

An all round good team performance seen off lower league stevenege. It should of been more but the 3-1 win was still enough to get them into the next round.

Bradford City 2-2 Plymouth
Scorers: weatherson (2)

A close game this one was and it was evenly matched all the way through. Plymouth piled on the pressure towards the end though but couldnt get the winner.

Brentford 1-2 Plymouth
Scorers: weatherson (2)

Weatherson again helping plymouth to another win which was a very deserved one. Although brentford were dominant to start off with they could get a win.

Plymouth 2-0 Northampton

Getting a little bit of form together as of late Plymouth went into the game favourites and got another win under their belt. Great performance by plymouth and it should of been more.

Plymouth were currently lying in 6th position after this session and the season wasnt looking too bad for them more to come....
