It isn't. There's clearly some psychology going on there, but in recent years, it's mostly been that they play a brand of physical football that our teams have generally struggled against. This year, we just let them off the hook, and it was extremely frustrating. It's really boring that we...

They're clearly a good team, but we got in their heads and they lost them. Seriously, stop this fucking nonsense. It means everything else you may say can't be taken seriously. You said it yourself, we got the tactics spot on, we also wanted it more, got in the Middlesbrough players' faces and...

HELLO, RYAN GILES.

Thought it was a very odd game to bring him on in. Amused that his first action in English football was to blooter a cross way into the stand, though.

I would, and the one on Grimes, which was worse. They lost their heads pretty early.

That's the cup, though. I think the Wolves game was on terrestrial tv a couple of years ago.

Yeah. No blame on the ref for missing that, but it was sly and cowardly.

It probably wasn't an easy game to referee, played at 100% miles and hour with real aggression, but it did feel as if they got away with a lot more than us. Saka's booking was very poor.

Is this a joke post?

Saka and Wright absolutely superb. Onyeka excellent debut (first action as a City player a sweeping pass out to the wing). Thomas and Lati excellent. No-one poor. A performance with proper cojones. Need to use that now.

Fucking brilliant. Didn't see that coming.

First 35 minutes of that were insanely good. Saka, EMC, Wright, Rudoni and Onyeka all superb. Utterly dominant and deserve to be further ahead.

Is there a gif for people who call out single-letter typos? Let's go with:

Wish he'd wash his hair, though.

New signings aren't replacing anyone. They're giving us options and, certainly in Onyeka's case (we hope), qualities we previously lacked.

Which was a rhetorical question. Because he was watching.

They haven't required a compete rebuild. Middlesbrough were an established Championship team when we faced them in the playoffs. We were newbies sprinkled with a little stardust strapped together with loanees, and were emerging from years of mismanagement. We're on an equal footing now, but we...

There was considerably more space on the terrace for this one.

That's ignoring the fact that our starting point was very low. Our first play off team consisted of Gus, Vik, loanees, players that had come up with us from League 1 and a handful of others,. Gus and Vik were sold, the loanees went back to whence they came, many remaining were squad players...
