Did Richard III really kill the princes in the tower, or was he framed by Henry Tudor to cover his own crime?

where does she work?! my work were trying to get me to work news year day, i was like "are you mad" lol. 2 of my friends who are nurses work in the childrens ward at a local hospital, and they worked Xmas Day or Boxing Day and New Years Eve I think. They had pretty much no choice, they had to work 2 from Xmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day. Anyway back on topic how long have you supported the Boro mrh? Also looking forward to the game this weekend?

Anyway back on topic how long have you supported the Boro mrh? Also looking forward to the game this weekend? I've started since I was 6 or 7 so it would be about 19 years. It purely came from living in Middlesbrough as none of my family are from here. My dad supported Newcastle. I'd forgotten we were playing you lot this week. Should be a good game. Reading are going really well but we've only lost once at home since September (and that was against Man U) and our only defeat in 2007 was at Chelsea... Also, I've just read that BBC are showing the FA Cup quarter-final (regardless of who is playing) possibly involving Boro and/or Reading...

So just as tough as I thought then..
I've done my preview in the Reading thread. But all I will say is that I earmarked this as one of the toughest games of the year so far when looking at the fixtures over Xmas trying to plan which games I was able to see. I was expecting it to come off the back of a defeat at Old Trafford, which would have made it even tougher. But having got that point last week I'm more confident about tomorrow, although a win would be a great result.
Boro are actually doing slightly better than I thought. I expected you to be around 15th/16th or so at this stage.

But having got that point last week I'm more confident about tomorrow, although a win would be a great result. Boro are actually doing slightly better than I thought. I expected you to be around 15th/16th or so at this stage. Yes, Southgate's doing very well. It looked like being a long, hard season early on but Woodgate's made a big difference. Downing's found his form again and Arca's playing really well now after a slow start. Southgate's original plan seems to be paying off. When we were playing poorly, we went ultra-defensive and ground out some results to pick up some confidence-boosting points. With that confidence, we've been able to play more open, attacking football and we've climbed up the table, though as I've said before, mid-table in the Premiership is so big. It's basically 6th to 16th. You could take those 11 clubs at the start of next season, pick them out of a hat to have them finishing in random positions and whatever table you came up with would probably look plausible. I expected Reading to survive comfortably this season but I didn't think they'd be challenging for Europe. It's a great effort all round and very refreshing to see. One wonders if the FA might take a look at Steve Coppell if it all goes tits-up for McClaren. I remember him being in the running when Terry Venables got the job and that was 13 years ago. I don't think he's been a contender since then... Anyway, should be a great game today. Two in-form teams who have no problem scoring goals but one seems to lose concentration when they get in front (and that's been happening since the opening day of the season). For that reason, I think it could be a draw...

Although my confidence for the season ahead seemed to deterioate during the summer to the point where at the start of the season I thought we could go down if key players were out injured and we failed to repeat last season's performance, amidst all the celebrations at the end of last season I made the bold statement to a mate that we had a chance of qualifying for Europe. This was based purely on the fact that we'd broken Sunderland's points record for the Championship of 105 points in 1999. They then finished 7th in the Premiership the following season. What you said about Boro's season reminds me a lot of us last season. Despite the points record although we werent that defensive in the early part of the season we often didnt play that well, and it was a case of grinding out the results. There was an interesting 6 stage objective on the dressing room wall (presumably at the start of the season)which was on the official website last season i think and also the reading forum. It was uncertainty in June, organisation in August, consistency in October, character in December, style and class in Febuary, Champions elect in April. Probably would swap December and Febuary around but thats how the season developed.
I've heard the talk of Coppell for England, and during the last 2 England games have wondered what he'd do with the current England team. I do doubt he would take it at least atm though. He hates the media speculation (which is why he always plays it down) and he made an interesting comment last season that he gains no more satisfaction from managing a club in the Premiership than the Sunday league. Sounded strange at the time but I think what he meant was if he's happy at a club and is in a comfortable environment where he can do his job it makes no difference where he is. He knows he's got the backing of Madejski and everyone at Reading. If and when Madejski goes that may change, but for the moment there's no reason to leave.

WooHoo! Best Month that! Why are you Invisible, are you a Hero? Did you and Mel get married in September? I just feel a bit invisible at the moment. I seem to slip under the radar. Hero? I don't think so. I did once save a puppy from getting mauled by another dog.
