Mido: It's time to halt the sick jibes

Boro striker Mido has asked Newcastle fans not to taunt him with sick chants during the Tyne-Tees derby.
The Egyptian striker was abused with vile taunts from the 3,000 Geordie supporters at the Riverside.
It provoked the fury of Boro boss Gareth Southgate, especially when Mido was booked for holding his finger to his mouth to tell the away fans to shut it after he scored. Mido also produced a two-finger salute in the game.
Newcastle fans angrily disputed accusations of racism after the incident.

Mido said: "Hopefully we won't hear the same chants again because it's silly and should absolutely be kept out of everyday life and that includes football. I hope we don't hear it again. It's not only about me, it's about everyone.
"If they do start chanting again I'll make sure I keep my head calm and aim to do well for the team.

"It's terrible when you hear people making chants about race, colour, religion or whatever. If you see what is happening now in England you do not normally hear that sort of stuff in everyday life.
"Now people are starting to understand that there is no difference between people and that everyone is doing their best in their own walks of life. There is no difference between the religions and colours and everyone should understand that.
"I wouldn't say that if I do hear it that it would increase my determination or my efforts. I just hope if we do hear it again the Football Association takes the right decisions.
"I will go to Newcastle and I just plan to play my football and I hope to do well and score goals."

Mido Return Gives Boss More Options

MIDO could be back in action against Wigan at the Riverside tonight and Tuncay and Gary O'Neil return to the squad, but Emanuel Pogatetz could miss out with a foot problem.
Gareth Southgate has yet to decide whether returning Egyptian striker Mido will be in the final 16 for the game after his cameo appearance against Mansfield at Field Mill on Saturday.
Although he showed some neat touches and provided an aspect to Boro's play that has been missing during his lengthy absence form the side, Southgate says the 24-year is still some way off full fitness.
"He'll be in the 18 again but I have to decide whether to include him on the bench or not. He's not match fit at the moment and we have to work with him to get to that fitness up to speed."It's something we're working on twice a day. He knows that to play a part for us he has to be fit."

Middlesbrough's Mido persuades Woodgate not to join Spurs

Mido has revealed he has tried to persuade Boro defender Jonathan Woodgate not to join his former club Tottenham.
The former Real Madrid defender is expected to join Spurs and turn down the opportunity to re-join Newcastle.

But Mido said: "He's an important player for us but if he leaves we'll all wish him the best. We wanted him to stay though.

"He's a very good footballer, and secondly he's a great lad to work with every day. Spurs want him because he's a very good player and it's not easy to find as good a defender as him.
"I hope we keep our best players, that's all I can say. I came here and I know the club wants to go forward. If he leaves I hope we get good players to replace him.
"When you want to run a club it's not just about the 11 actually playing to do well, you need at least 20 strong players.'

Middlesbrough striker Mido also revealed his heartache at missing Egypt's defence of the Africa Cup of Nations.
The former Spurs man returned as a substitute to the Boro side for Saturday's FA Cup win at Mansfield. It was the first time he has played for almost three months after recovering from an injury to his pubic bone.
The Egypt international, who looks short of match fitness and in need of shedding a few pounds, has missed his country's African championships but he is now aiming to lead Boro's charge away from the relegation zone, and their cup campaign.

Mido said: "It is very disappointing for me to be missing the African Cup of Nations because I've played in the last three tournaments and I really wanted to be out there to help the lads and my country but I've been injured for three months.
"I spoke to the manager and the Egyptian FA to explain my situation and they totally understand that it would be very difficult for me to take part. Now I would like to think that helping Middlesbrough get to the semi-finals or the final of the FA Cup would make up for that disappointment.
"It was a tough injury, the kind where you couldn't really do anything with it so it was very frustrating so I'm glad I'm playing again.
"The medical staff did a great job with me, this type of injury with the inflammation is always a challenge for the medics but I think they've done great."

The 65th-minute introduction of Downing to replace Johnson also brought with it a reshuffle as Aliadiere went more central and Lee to the right. But it was another change

which brought to an end three months of inactivity as Mido replaced Lee.

Mido in line for Boro call

Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate is ready to risk Mido at Mansfield on Saturday.
The Egypt international, who is out of his country's African Cup of Nations defence, came through his first game in almost three months this week and played for the first half against Newcastle United at Billingham.
Mido has had a pubic bone injury which has forced him to miss Boro's relegation fight as well as the tournament in Ghana where Egypt opened their campaign with an impressive win over Cameroon.

Boro face lowly League Two side Mansfield Town in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday lunchtime and Southgate says the former Tottenham striker will be in the squad which travels to Nottinghamshire.
He said: "I will probably involve him in the squad but I have to think about putting him in the 16. It was good to see him back but he is still short of match fitness and for him it was important to see a chink of light and get a game."
Gary O'Neil is struggling with a virus and is a major doubt, Jonathan Woodgate is likely to be out with a shin injury which has ruled him out of the last three games but Julio Arca is back in training.
