It doesn't discredit you in the slightest. It won Chelsea numerous titles, Mourinho was hailed as a master tactician and their attacking players regularly and rightfully got plaudits. Not my fault you can't take a bloody compliment!🤣 As for the Hoodoo that doesn't detract from your performance...

The thing is the analogy fits very well and it's not a "back handed compliment." Chelsea were an efficient well oiled machine which was their strength above all, but they too were perfectly capable of skillful play when needed, most notably in the first half of the season's they won. If I was...

That's not a bad shout with this season's Arsenal tbf. I was just going on classic sides that are remembered throughout the history of the Prem. The thing with Wenger's Arsenal though was that they almost HAD to play that way, it was Wenger's ethos and it was the one way they could be...

I've thought this not absolutely, but to a degree before. You're kind of like the championship version of Chelsea under Mourinho during the years when they dominated the Prem? You're perfectly capable of popping up with a "wow" performance too, such as your 7-1 in the first half of the season...

Yes of course, more than here it probably won't surprise you to know. On our own forum there's a Hull, Bournemouth and Norwich fan who are on quite a bit. Sunderland occasionally and there used to be a regular Derby poster on all the time, but she died unfortunately. I've used to post on the...

With Charlton, the Baggies and QPR after they face us I wouldn't be surprised to see them finish the season the strongest of the top 4 either tbh. If so this could feasibly get them over the line OR it could get them in good form for the playoffs. It's all guesswork, but if we get to that stage...

Nah, I'm not here to be loved, if that was my aim I could definitely think of a few better places. 🤣 I'm also on here a good few times when we don't win too. If that was me though, the snorkel would be red though, just saying. And I can't say I've ever beaten off over a Boro result, though the...

Other than points on the board, ours (and Millwall's) advantage over Ipswich is the nature of the fixtures. They have more away games than home by a decent chunk, so will have to address that, plus the pile up continues with their Saints game getting moved due to Saints' Cup run too, meaning...

Well obviously I'm pleased with that tonight. It was a dominant performance from us, even if we didn't control the game from start to finish, there was a period early in the second half where it was far more open than we'd have liked it to be. As for the first goal, VAR would probably have put...

The bonus is you never quute get to a stage of "can't even draw a game" as though the performances are still not bad throughout, those shit runs either yield LDLL or LDD, with a longer run of wins in between. It would depend which 10 game period you used, but any period of Hellball would...

We're well known for that phenomenon. We even call it "Typical Boro". It happened frequently in the Prem, when we regularly walloped the Champions League sides, before losing to some no hope, bag of wank, already cast adrift relegation fodder such as Sunderland when they set the first of their...

No that makes perfect sense too. It's the mantra of almost every successful coach for one, to keep his players focussed upon the task at hand and not on future events that they have no way of affecting yet. Whilst as fans of course we get more free reign to dream, it's also an in-built defence...

As a Boro fan we're well acquainted with this feeling. However, while you're certainly capable of a "bad run" for yourselves, outside of a freak meteor stike wiping out the team coach, there's no way on God's Green Earth that with your level and that run in you're going to have a bad run of...

Be honest, you were just playing stupid sod to set up that punchline weren't you, you cheeky cheekster!😜

If someone offered me that, I'd be all over it personally. Would leave 8 or 9 games left, one against the Owls (but not for Millwall) with Ipswich having only 2 home games left out of those 9 remaining. I'd wolf down that guarantee ta very much, and ask for seconds. Any way you can box it off...

Oh I'm fully anticipating that. As well as the Iswich players enmasse surrounding the ref at every opportunity.

We didn't score first against you did we?

We've won every game we've scored first. In the words of Keegan "I would LOVE it" if we took the lead against them at Portman Road.

It's a tough ask for Millwall still, but they're making a great go at it. I only say "tough ask" because A) They're the only side in the top 4 (and Hull for that matter) who DON'T have one of their remaining games against Sheff Wed and B) they have both of us and Ipswich to play, which you could...

Why? For not rolling over and handing Ipswich an undeserved penalty in injury time like all his mates?
