English Football Championship Thread

Weren't you bigging up Rob Edwards trying to be Billy-esque? :lol!:
He did well when he was there, had them in the top two and the best start to the season in years, but Id say the change of manager has suited Boro. Hes playing two strikers and four at the back which seems to suit the team and it's working in the championship.
Seemed to be a crazy enough decision by Rob to leave but it has worked out ok for Boro.

Leaving kip of a city like Middlesbrough isn't difficult to understand. It's one, almighty 💩hole in all fairness!😉

Suburbs south of the centre are grand. Linthorpe, Marton, Nunthorpe are all nice places to live. It's a northern industrial town, there was nothing there before the industrial revolution so yeah the locals aren't called the Smoggies for nothing. In fact it was the original Irish city before the north west took over. They're all originally Irish but it's so far back they dont realise it
:lol!:

Lots of poverty, yet it's a lot safer and more friendly then most towns in the north. Bit of regeneration going on in the city centre as well. Id rate it a better place to live then most cities in the north East tbphwy.

He moved to Wolverhampton by the way. Id rather move to Newcastle then that shithole.
Also he's going down and we're going up.
:lol!:

The biggest shithole I've ever been in England.
People there as dour as their city.

Ive been there several times, havent found that to be the case. It's a typical northern city and the people there have a good sense of community and are friendly.
Dour?

Powerful stuff from Macclesfield.

At this precise moment, our team should be walking out onto the pitch to the deafening noise of the Silkmen supporters before hearing the Referee’s first whistle.

There will instead, be a pause.

No game. No scoreline. Just reflection.

Ethan McLeod was not just our teammate, he was a wonderful human being and someone who inspired us all, with the weight of his indescribable loss remaining surreal in the extreme.

Football teaches us how to move tactically, how to react, and how to keep going when faced with adversity for the benefit of everyone associated with the team.

But today, it teaches us something infinitely more important: how to stand still together.

Ethan passionately wore our badge with pride. He trained with purpose, played with heart, and carried himself with a quiet strength that didn’t need to be loud to be felt.

Whether it was in the dressing room, on the training pitch, or under the floodlights, Ethan effortlessly gave every ounce of his being for the game he loved and the devoted people around him.

At this poignant time, we remember Ethan not only for his undeniable talent, but for the memories he created - so many of which didn’t make the highlights, yet will live in the hearts and minds of all those who loved him so unconditionally forevermore.

We remember all the laughter, Ethan’s infectious smile, and the unspoken understanding that binds our entire Club together.

Our beloved Club is built on that togetherness and the devastating sense of loss that we all are feeling reminds us just how deep those bonds run.

Today, there is no opposition, no points to play for.

What there is an abundance of however, is a deeply held gratitude for having known Ethan, and for having been able to share a short part of his journey with him.

There is heartbreak, and there is love - from teammates, staff, supporters, and everyone whose life Ethan touched so evocatively.

Ethan’s story doesn’t end here though.

It lives on in the values he embodied, in the wonderful memories he did so much to create, and in the way he made all those around him strive to be the best version of themselves.

In the fullness of time, Ethan’s legacy will help shape who we are and who we become. It will make us stronger and more determined to honour him not just with words, but in everything we do.

Because no matter how our journey evolves, Ethan will be right there beside us - guiding us every step of the way.

Ethan - we know you’re watching over us now, and will truly never leave us.

We will be devoted to you for all eternity.

You will forever be a Silkman.
