Sir Ralph

Yes I understand your point. The people couldn't get rid of him.....he fixed elections!

Yes Dictator's always listen to the will of their people. I'm sure he would have just moved out of the way, stupid Venezuelans why didn't they think of that. It laughable you have put Trump in the dictator category like Putin and Maduro. Hopefully someone buys you a dictionary next Xamas

I'm sure youre right 😉

You need both - they arent mutually exclusive obviously.

That's how you interpreted it. I'm talking about Maduro as a socialist. I'm not going to get into an argument about it.

We are taking about Venezuela. Take the word dictator off and the outcome for the country would be similar. My point was more about the shambles that the guy has left the country in because of his wayward ideologies, rather than that he is a dictator.

His record strongly suggests he will not remain fit. If the board dont see that then they are completely stupid. We clearly need another big 9 as we cant go long or play balls into the box. We only have one way of playing without a fit target man and it is killing us. It is critical we sign another striker and if we dont we have no chance of making the play offs

Surely board ambition has to be to stay in touch with the play off places. If this goes on till February I can see them pulling the trigger as they will want every chance of making the play offs. Those parachute payments mean everything to them

No its not his but I suspect he will do a better job than the socialist dictator. The Venezuelan people didn't have a say on running the country anyway. Trump is in it for the oil. However, the impact could be a benefit to the people. If you think his removal is a good thing how else would it have happened? Just a context reminder: https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/americas/south-america/venezuela/report-venezuela/

If we lose does he get the sack? I think not If he plays 4,2,3,1 I think at least the fans will see he has shown flexibility. If he sticks with 5 at the back and we lose he is going to get pelters.

Not sure why. I suppose we will have to see what happens with this. I dont think anyone will know as the dynamics of the relationship are unknown. It could be that he thinks he can control the current government more or, like you said, it would cause more instability There are obviously some down sides to what Trump has done and its clear he has done this from an America first perspective. However, in this case I think that overall the pros outweigh the cons, including for Venezuelans so I just dont know why some people in this country are getting so excited about it. I'm certain that if Biden or Kamala had done this, those same people wouldnt be waving Venezuela flags and protesting on behalf of people who mainly dont want them to protest on their behalf! Venezuelans watching blue haired students protesting in London and New York must think they are complete egits.

The only pity about Maduro going is he was a case study as to how devastating socialism is to a country that should otherwise be very rich due to its oil reserves. The majority of Venezuelans seems quite happy with the outcome, particularly as things cant get much worse for them. For some reason some in this country seem to want to protest about it, even though he rigged elections. I suspect they have never been to South America and probably dont know where the country was before Christmas and dont understand the background.The main criticism from some Venezuelans seem to be that the US hasnt ripped the heart out of the Government (i.e. it hasnt intervened further). Just a bit of context that 8 million have left the country since 2014 due to the humanitarian crisis created. If the US intervened further and put a proper Government in place a lot of these people may return home. I understand this is about oil but I would prefer to the US influencing oil prices and potentially bring stability to an economically mismanaged country, rather than some lunatic socialist dictator. This has the potential to also help the Venezuelan people.

Board decision - if you tell a manager you will back him and can root out the problems then a good manager would be happy with that

If that’s his genuine view he should be sacked for not being able to see something that everyone else can

We need a manager who doesn’t pander to these melts. Step up or train with the u21s. Enough of them dictating

I think SR doing something is possibly the worst thing. Other than signing scienza and Lavia what other decision have they made that hasn’t been crap. The more decisions they make the worse it gets

To “Oh when the Saints”: Three-five-two! Three-five-two! It never bloody works for you! No width, no pace, just pass it back to Bazunu! Three-five-two! Three-five-two!

So one decent 20 minute spell in 6 games. With the rest either being utterly turgid or rubbish

Have we moved to 4 CBs…phew

Just to emphasise this is a boro team with loads of injuries and haven’t scored in 4

And some people will still turn up and clap them at the next home game

Had enough- I won’t renew my STs after 15 years and no more away games. I’d prefer to spend it on a weekend at centre parcs than watch these clowns

I hope we get thumped now. Really emphasis it

Caught out in the gap between the centre backs and left wing back. Keep playing 3 at the back though you twats

Sit back boro. More chance of Barry White holidaying to the moon this summer
