After that is a relaxing one-off winner takes all play off game at a neutral (probably very northern) ground.... *GULP*

Hopefully not Hillsborough

Can only happen if Middlesbrough and albion fail to play out a stitch up draw on the last day.

What neutral ground would be used;

Villa or would the premier still be playing

If lower league ground - Wednesday perhaps

Our record v Burnley (points earned at home or away, versus a top 10 team, bottom 10 team, 4-0, 5-0 type wins vs 1 goal wins) is now remarkably similar. We've both had a 3-0 thrashing from a top 6 team (hull for them, boro for us) , we've both thrashed Bristol 4-0. and now we both have er, the same points.

Of interest on that chart is the fact that we haven't lost away from home to any of the top 6, augurs well for Boro if we need a draw.

Sky have written an in-depth feature about this today: Middlesbrough, Burnley, Brighton: Could there be a play-off before the play-offs?

Nothing new here, but can anyone spot the mistakes in their hypothetical final table?

I spotted the fact that in the summing up towards the end for the hypothetical play off game scenario they have us finishing on 93 points, this despite them forecasting a 1-0 defeat against Boro, which would leave us on only (!) 90 points.

Likewise - Boro on 96 and Burnley also on 93 points.
