Apparently Solano asked to leave the Toon because he wasn't guaranteed first team football. Then again, can we, seeing as our midfield has been fairly consistent all season. At least it gives us a bit of strength in depth, which we've definitely been missing (especially with McCanns 5 match ban).
but well done to 'Boro last night - I've got a dilemma now for the Carling Cup Final. Do I support the team who beat Villa, or want them to lose?
