Is it still 3rd plays 6th and 4th plays 5th?

If so they culd if they finish 3rd easily get Southampton

It will look nice alongside the "Best team to play away at QPR" cup

Anders Limpar says so

Middlesbrough told they have the 'highest potential' for the Premier League

I have never seen a 6 game winning streak result in this much OTT praise before.

I mean their potential of staying up is a sum of their chance of promotion + chance of staying up. It's a struggle to understand how they have the highest potential to stay up at this point.

Where do you start

They play very nice football but are missing what we have. Goals all over the pitch. It becomes even more of a problem against sides that play low block and park the bus. Their manager only seems to know the one way to play. We showed everyone how to set up against them and they have struggled ever since. 6 wins on the bounce and 1st place by 2 points has changed to just 2 wins in 8, with 1st out of sight and 2 clubs just 2 points away and one has a game in hand.

I've just taken some ridiculous odds on Southampton taking 2nd. Middlesbrough are struggling, and if they don't turn it around quickly they will soon lose touch.

Ipswich have an awful run in their last 5 games of the season. 4 games in 9 days which includes away games at Charlton, WBA and Southampton on the bounce. They don't have to play again for 4 days then

April

19th Middlesbrough H
22nd Charlton A
25th WBA A
28th Southampton A

May

2nd QPR H

Middlesbrough look in trouble. Ipswich are pulling themselves apart thanks to the Farage incident with an awful run of games to come. Millwall and Hull are holding on to the chase but Southampton are sprinting up on the outside. We've beat everyone except for Southampton since we beat Middlesbrough. Southampton have only lost once this year so far. They won away at Fulham to get into the QF of the FA cup against Arsenal next game. Southampton are certainly not a 100/1 shot with so much in their favour.

Boro remind me of us some games last season, remember games like Plymouth away where we would pop the ball about nicely but the other team would just sit in? That's basically them now.

I think I prefer being this side as we dont have the old cliche “probably the best side we’ve played this season, how arent they doing better etc”

Much better to be the team that has worked out how to play different types of games rather than a team that tries the same thing every game and becomes predictable.

Which we were also that team at one point this season! I do find it amusing reading “how are they top” “they’re nothing special” “they’re shite” “lucky” “… wouldnt even start for us” “in a … and Cov combined 11 next to none of them make it in”

Boro are definitely the best team in the league at playing one-touch five-a-side triangles around the edge of their own penalty box tbf. Rondo Kings!
