[Football] Middlesbrough v Reading

[saafend_seagull]

This league is going to be won on such small margins.

Yep. Goal difference.

 

[Jim in the West]

Wait a minute! This could be a good result for us
Ideally we want Middlesborough to be already promoted before the final game. If we go there with both of us needing a result for promotion I am convinced we'll lose. Our best option is for Burnley to muck it up (and they have the tougher games on paper).....

Why is everyone slagging off Vydra??

He missed a sitter for Reading about a minute before they scored the winning goal at the other end - blazed it over

 

[darters74]

He missed in the 93rd minute then LuckBorough scored a minute later.

Cheers. Prick only scores against us!

So what's the nsc view on who should win the Boro Burnley game now?

You don't need the NSC view, you just need mine. We want 'brough to win.

Why is everyone slagging off Vydra??

He was two million quid and he's sht. And to make matters worse, one of his COG esque return of three goals this season was against US. But put him in front of a gaping Boro net in the last minute and it's in row Z.

It's ok. We know Middlesbrough are going up. They're going to beat Burnley and let us into second place.

Exactly that.....Burnley not good enough

Not a bad idea. However, a rabid 'boro would have mauled Burnley had they drawn or lost tonight.....

I hate Reading.

Burnley draw/lose Saturday and lose to Boro then they have 80/81 points, we win twice we have 84 with 3 games to go

 

[Technohead]

Why is everyone slagging off Vydra??

Perhaps because he missed an absolute sitter a couple of minutes before the end.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Annoying as the late goal was, I'm cheered by the thought of Sean Dyche's rictus grin of false positivity frozen on his face as the second of his promotion rivals does it to him in two days.

Exactly. I hope that Barton fancying northern ****ing rusty Dalek is crying into his ***ting horlicks.

 

[Munchkin]

Not overly disappointed. I want Boro to be up by the time we play them.

We are fighting Burnley for the second promotion place, it's them we need to slip up.

Win Friday, put the pressure on them. That's all we can do.

 

[Jim in the West]

Poor old Dyche - injury time winners for promotion challengers TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW!!

Nice positive outlook I like it the way you put that. Amazing how everyone is rooting for Boro now

 

[Simster]

Well done to all those who got 12s by the way.

I've got a nasty feeling Burnley will beat Boro in that one. The worst result for us. Barnes in the last minute, obviously.

BBC live text said he was offside anyway ?

Edited for you.

 

[sparkie]

5 wins will still see us promoted.

Burnley dropping points of course makes it easier.
