1. Middlesbrough v Stoke score prediction
1-3
2. Will Boro stay up this season?
Yep should do
3. Would any Boro players have a chance of being in your first XI?
We have always fancied Rhodes, and you now have 2 decent keepers, not sure they would replace the excellent Butland
4. We were mad to sell you Huth, were you mad to sell Huth to Leicester?
Yes and yes!
5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’)
My Boro mates always talk about them, but no, more of an Oatcake man!
6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC?
Good club, no ill feeling here! Ayresome Park was proper old school like the Vic.

1. Middlesbrough v Stoke score prediction 1-2 2. Will Boro stay up this season? Not sure. Depends whether Karanka can take the heat, but I suspect there might be another 'problem' with him at some stage of the season. 3. Would any Boro players have a chance of being in your first XI? Ayala, Negredo and Fischer. Like Adam Clayton also, but not sure he'd get in ahead of Joe Allen, Whelan or Imbula. 4. We were mad to sell you Huth, were you mad to sell Huth to Leicester? Both. 5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’) No but it looks nice. Would like to try one. 6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC? A rarity in today's game like ourselves - local ownership! Long may it continue!

1. Middlesbrough v Stoke score prediction: 1-2 (Bojan and Diouf)
2. Will Boro stay up this season? Probably, as Hull and Burnley already look nailed on for two relegation spots and one promoted team usually does quite well.
3. Would any Boro players have a chance of being in your first XI? Negredo, as we need a centre forward.
4. We were mad to sell you Huth, were you mad to sell Huth to Leicester? Yes, and double yes, but best to let it lie in these here parts.
5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’) No idea what it is.
6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC? Good old fashioned big club, solid fan base, nice to see you back in the top flight.

1. Score prediction 1-2 2. Boro to stay up - possibly but could survive - some poor/weak teams though - Burnley, Sunderland usually (not sure under Moyes though), hopefully West Brom, Hull (look nailed on to go straight down), Swansea maybe. 3. Negredo, and maybe one of your goalies as back up to Jack. 4. Huth - yes and yes 5. No 6. My late dad was a Boro fan so I have a bit of a soft spot for you lot. As has been said - local owners, enjoy it while it lasts !

1. Middlesbrough v Stoke score prediction: I'll go for Boro 0-2 Stoke, We will suprise a lot this season and Boro will have a shaky start with all the new signings and getting used to the league etc etc. Goalscorer's, Bojan and Shaq. 2. Will Boro stay up this season: Yes, it'll be very tight but I can see you scraping it, you have enough quality on paper. 3. Would any Boro players have a chance of being in your first XI: Yes, Negredo and Valdes, we really need a CF and a GK 4. We were mad to sell you Huth, were you mad to sell Huth to Leicester: As someone mentioned, you had to sell as we had the upper hand with being in the Premier league. No, because he wasn't in Leslies plans, we've been mad though to not find a decent centre back who can play alongside Shawcross. 5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’) Yes, Chicken and cheese sauce battered, lovely I shall be having one next week also although they're not as good as Oatcakes 6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC I don't really have a soft spot for you but I don't mind Boro, local owners and good fans who always travel well. Working class area, similar to us really.

1 1-0 to you. We've only won one opening fixture in the premier league, drawing two and losing five. This includes a home fixture with Villa.
2 Sadly, probably not but football is more fun when you have no expectations
3 Have you anyone who can pass it around without ever being really threatening? - them
4 Yes, yes
5 No - what is it?
6 Hope you do the double over Sunderland

I've got a good mate who's a Boro fan, I went to watch you at home to Leeds a couple of seasons ago, wasn't that impressed but it looks like you've improved quite a bit 1. Boro 1 Stoke 2 2. Yeah, should do 3. Possibly Rhodes, Friend is a decent defender certainly he'd get in the Stoke squad. 4. Yes and definitely yes. 5. I have, not a patch on an oatcake.......bacon, sausage and cheese for me!!!! 6. Good club and fans, similar club to Stoke, working class area, loyal fans, similar attendances and a cracking chairman, hope you stay up this year. Good luck!!!

You're most welcome on the board my friend! Unless you beat us of course!
1. Middlesbrough v Stoke score prediction
1-1 I reckon. I am going and whilst I think it will be tough away against a newly promoted club I still think we can get something.
2. Will Boro stay up this season?
Yes I think you will stay up relatively comfortably. My gut tells me at this moment in time Burnley, Hull and Watford will go down.
3. Would any Boro players have a chance of being in your first XI?
I would not have minded Negredo at Stoke. I also like Adam Clayton but I don't think he would get in our first XI.
4. We were mad to sell you Huth, were you mad to sell Huth to Leicester?
It is tough for you guys as you had been relegated. We certainly were mad and are trying, and failing, to find another Huth. Touchy subject on here with many saying it is Hughes' biggest mistake.
5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’)
No I am more of an oatcake guy! I would like to try one though.
6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC?
Good club, good fans. Certainly the most likable out of the NE clubs (even if my grandparents were both Mackems and Geordies!). Would like to see you stay up as well.

1. Middlesbrough v Stoke score prediction 1-2 2. Will Boro stay up this season? Easily, think you're building a decent side. I'll predict 13th 48 pts. 3. Would any Boro players have a chance of being in your first XI? Negredo always useful and a handful. Quite like Viktor Fischer from Ajax, looking forward to see how he copes. 4. We were mad to sell you Huth, were you mad to sell Huth to Leicester? Yes and no 5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’) No, are you buying me one? 6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC? Always found your fans quite friendly and not too disimilar to us. Genuinely wish you all the best apart from next Saturday. Looking forward to making the trip up.

1. Middlesbrough v Stoke score prediction: 3-1 Stoke. 2. Will Boro stay up this season? I don't see them having too many problems. 3. Would any Boro players have a chance of being in your first XI? Possibly Ayala. 4. We were mad to sell you Huth, were you mad to sell Huth to Leicester? You didn't have much choice having been relegated. As for us selling to Leicester....good question, can't say I've heard much discussion about it on here 5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’) No but I've almost choked on me own vomit, and having looked up a parmo on google, it looks like it could be the same thing. 6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC? Decent club, decent set of fans. Much more likeable than the delusional duo that claim to be kings up in your neck of the woods. Had a soft spot for the 'Boro side of the mid 90's with Ravanelli, Juninho etc. Hope you get whalloped on Satdee and then go and have a decent season.

1. Middlesbrough v Stoke score prediction: 2-2 draw.
2. Will Boro stay up this season? I think so, as long as team spirit shines through, and you stay hard to beat at home and don't try and play like Brazil and out-football teams that have much better players than you. This is the season to get past, then it should get easier.
3. Would any Boro players have a chance of being in your first XI? Ayala / Negredo.
4. We were mad to sell you Huth, were you mad to sell Huth to Leicester? Not much you could have done about it, but the Berlin Wall was one of my favourites at Stoke and we lost solidity and presence at the back when we sold him. We've not properly replaced him yet either. 5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’) No. 6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC? Prefer Boro to either Newcastle or Sunderland.

Middlesbrough v Stoke score prediction
You'll beat us - we start the season slowly every year - Sparky seems almost proud of the fact
2. Will Boro stay up this season?
Hull seem screwed, I think you're in the mix with Burnley and Watford and maybe Sunderland, but I hope you do stay up.
3. Would any Boro players have a chance of being in your first XI?
Negredo I think, there are some other familiar names in there, but I cannot really say I know them well enough
4. We were mad to sell you Huth, were you mad to sell Huth to Leicester?
Last season (ours as well as Leicester's) is proof that we were mad to sell him
5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’)
No. But I will give it a go in the hope that it is anywhere near as good as an oatcake
6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC?
Glad you're back. Another real team with real fans in a world where there is too much celebrity ponsing about on grass.

1. 2-0 Stoke 2. No 3. Don't know 4. No, he was shocking when he came back from injury. 5. No. 6. Don't know much about you, juninho was ace, ravinelli was good too. Still can't believe you got relegated that year. If your defence is as bad now as it was then, then your stay in the prem will be short. Nothing to dislike you for yet, ask again at the end of the season.
What are you thoughts on Stoke? Please be honest, not many people like Stoke. Our area tends to be looked down on. Serves us well though, especially when we beat arsenal.

2. Will Boro stay up this season? Defo
3. Would any Boro players have a chance of being in your first XI?
Negredo and Downing are the obvious ones having top level experience and doing well.
4. We were mad to sell you Huth, were you mad to sell Huth to Leicester?
No he wouldn't have got as much game time. The job he does best requires a different game plan to ours. Very happy for him, great player for us.
5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’)
Not yet but I will. I am told they are to die for.
6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC?
Lots of parallels with Stoke so I like the club and wish you well. Steve Gibson is a top owner and chairman... Also, I have a friend who is a Boro fan and has followed them quite a bit in the past. His name is Moose. Do you know him, Badger?

Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC? 1) 0-2 2) No but to be honest I know nothing about Middlesborough. My feeling though is that this is going to be the most fiercely competitive season ever so it will be extremely difficult for newly promoted sides. 3) Probably not although I don't really know who most of your players are 4) Completely mental. That it pretty much the only thing all Stoke fans agree upon. We said so at the time and - for a change - we have been proved right by subsequent events. 5) Never heard of one 6) Juninho brings back good memories of when I first started watching football as a kid In addition... just answering these questions makes me realise that I know fuck all about Middlesborough (as well as the other newly promoted teams). This will be your biggest strength. Your best chance of survival is actually everyone else writing you off. It certainly worked for us in our first season.

1) 1-1
2) Hull bankers to be bottom; perm two of Burnley, Palace and Swansea for the other spots
3) Ayala decent enough to pair with Ryan and know your guys like Ramirez, though don't think he'd displace one of ours
4) Thought it was right at the time - since proven wrong
5) Often - 'Hot Shot' (pepperoni, jalapeño, peppers) a tasty variation. Recommended.
6) Think it will be a boisterous atmosphere next week. Expecting Boro's home form to be decent with a fervent crowd behind them. A tricky time for industry on Teeside and back in the top flight for the first time since 2009 a big boost.

5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’) Nope
6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC? Have never liked Boro since we played you the first season we were up. Think you beat us 2-1 at your place and walking away from the ground some fat chavvy disgrace of a woman was gobbing off to every Stoke fan in sight telling us we were fucking shit and we'd go straight back down to the football league where we belong. I still smile every time I imagine her face when you went down at the end of that season and more so as we went from strength to strength and you failed to get promoted (until now of course!) Obviously I'm sure most Boro fans are great but a prime example of how one person can taint your opinion of all others!

Score Prediction 1-1. Which I imagine you'd take to get you up and running back in the Prem, and I think I'd take for us, provided we get a win from one of our next two games (Man City at home and Everton away)
Will Boro stay up Maybe. I think Hull look pretty doomed, but aside from that it's hard to call others for the drop. You are one of maybe four or five others that I could see figuring in a relegation battle, along with Burnley, Swansea, Bournemouth, and maybe West Brom and Watford. I hope you do stay up though.
Boro players in our first eleven Negredo showed at Man City how good he can be. Whether he'll shine at Boro waits to be seen. I would've been pleased had we signed him this summer. We also could do with a new centre back. I was pretty impressed with Ayala when I've seen him over the last year or two. Maybe he could make the grade. As an aside I'd gladly take either Valdes or Guzan to be second choice keeper behind Butland.
Huth Hindsight is 20/20. Realistically when we came calling for him as a Premier League club with money to spend, if he wanted to move, I doubt there was much Boro could have done about it. Perhaps if you'd known how good he'd be at Stoke a bit more of a fee would have been in order though. As for his move to Leicester, I think letting him go was a mistake. That being said, no-one in their right mind would have predicted just how good a year he, and they, would have. We could definitely have done with his defensive steel at times last year, as well as his knack for finding a goal. Hughes obviously never had plans for him though after his injury, and may well have thought he wasn't enough of a ball player for his system. For me a defender's primary duty is to defend though, and Huth's bloody good at it. A cracking bloke too it seems, he's sorely missed.
Parmo Yes. I lived in the North East for a number of years. I was never too keen. Pretty good when you're pissed, but then again so is a filthy donner kebab.
General thoughts on Boro I kind of see you guys as the forgotten club of the North East, so I'm delighted than you've now got one up on the smug Geordies. You should be equally delighted to be back in the Premier League now, with the big TV deal coming in. It's all too easy for clubs to drop out of the Prem and drift away to mediocrity in the Championship, just look at QPR, Leeds, Reading, Wolves, Cardiff etc. Fulham beating the Mags tonight showed what a tough league that is. Congratulations for getting out of it. I hope you do well this year.

If you bring as much to the party as our good friend Staffsvilla, you will be very welcome here!!
1. Middlesbrough v Stoke score prediction
Sitting on the fence, 1-1 - and I'd be delighted with that for a tricky away fixture to kick off with. I remember just what we did to Aston Villa in our first home game back in 2008
2. Will Boro stay up this season?
I think youre the best equipped out of the three, I actually started a thread on your back up goalkeepers (I'll bump it up if you want to comment) - I wouldn't swap them for our Jack but they strike me as decent back up. Our back up options at the moment hinge on a 40 year old and a Gordon Marshall clone that makes Guzan look like a prime time Schmeichel LOL
3. Would any Boro players have a chance of being in your first XI?
I don't probably know enough in fairness, let you know by Xmas!! But as above, I'd certainly take Valdes as a back up keeper. You've got proven goalscorers at lower league levels but the step up is a big one for them.
4. We were mad to sell you Huth, were you mad to sell Huth to Leicester?
INSANE!!! But what's done is done. I'm old school, I like defenders that break people in half; not all this sideways passing & fannying about.
5. Have you ever had a parmo? (a Middlesbrough ‘delicacy’)
No, but it sounds nice. I like breadcrumbs over batter, like chicken & love cheese so Id gladly try it. I'll raise you Lobby & Wrights Meat & Potato pies.
6. Any general thoughts on Middlesbrough FC?
You look well equipped, I genuinely think you can stay up. Youre a big club who have been absent for some time. There's no ill feeling here as far as I can perceive on here for your club and not much love for your neighbours so I guess quite a few here will be glad to see you rub it in the Geordies faces. I also think Sunderland will surprise a few people, Moyes isn't a bad manager just because of Man UTD. Your area isn't having a great time with jobs, the economy, steel closures etc and we've had similar tough times here so hopefully your team will bring some cheer (just not at our expense!)
