Football FanCast columnist Luke Raine cannot understand why Middlesbrough winger Stewart Downing is
constantly the fall guy when it comes to England's failings.
For too long now Stewart Downing has taken far too much of the blame for
England's inability to qualify for the 2008 European Championships. If Downing
hadn't played under Steve McClaren during his time at Middlesbrough there is
little doubt he would have had a smoother ride from the England fans.

Premiership, Middlesbrough
Football FanCast columnist Luke Raine reflects on Boro's good
start to the season and wonders where they will go from here.
If you asked Boro fans three weeks ago if they would have taken six points from
their first three Premier League encounters, you would probably have been left
with one hand. The team performed tremendously well in their opening two
fixtures and ground out a victory at the weekend with a perseverance that has
been lacking in recent years.
Plenty of positives for Middlesbrough to take out of the season!

Football FanCast columnist Luke
Raine looks back at Middlesbrough's season and feels that there has been a
great deal of positives to be taken from it.
Middlesbrough's game
against Manchester City on Sunday may well feature last on Match of The Day,
but that doesn't mean it isn't important for the players to give the home fans
the send off they perhaps deserve after a season that has flirted with the idea
of being successful but often flattered to deceive.
Should the likes of Arsenal's Cesc, Liverpool's Torres or Cristiano Ronaldo be considered in the PFA young player category?

Football FanCast columnist Luke Raine looks at today's PFA nominations and is bemused to know how the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Cristiano Ronaldo and Fernando Torres feature in the young player of the year category.
After the publication of the nominations for the PFA Young Player of The Year award, there are a few issues, which come to mind. These issues mainly centre around the fact that I believe younger players from less fashionable clubs should be getting national recognition for their performances over the past season.
