I can’t see where he’s been vile to you
You have been vile to him - just apologise

Just finished my last call for the day. Middlesbrough bound. Whatever happens it's been a great season, I just hope we get one more game after tonight.

Sidenote: Also whatever happens, I will not be looking or feeling anywhere near as fresh on tomorrows teams calls.

As opposed to pretending to be bothered about Heysel while mocking the 96. Not sure you understand the definition of wanker. You know nothing about what bothers me Tonester

Why is there so much arguing on a day everyone should be excited about

 

[Matt smith]

Think it’s key to point out Huddersfield lost their manager after the POF

we won’t lose ours at the end of this season

 

[Ashdown]

Last 18 matches
City W 8 D 9 L1
Boro W 9 D4 L 5
Not much in it, Home advantage is the main thing. If Hamer is truly fit that will be a bonus.
Penalties ?

There does seem to be an acceptance it’s good enough to be the bridesmaid and not the bride on here.

It could be a one off opportunity. None of the relegated teams are in the play offs and the league is very tight - the relegated teams next season are likely to be strong and we have a new squad to be build

A game against Middlesbrough and Luton to reach the premier league will be as “easy” as it’s going to get.

The relegated teams this year were likely to be strong. Don’t think anyone would have had neither Norwich or Watford making the top 6. Take your point on our rebuild though, if we don’t go up there’s a huge opportunity (assuming significant incoming fees) but possibly an even bigger risk.

unsure, pete seems hell bent on an argument he replies to everything I post. It’s odd but cute

This is our highest league finish in 22 years with a weak squad and giving the league a 10 game headstart. It does seem you’re getting ready to slate Robins for not pulling off a footballing miracle.

This game is one of the clubs biggest game in it's history.

I've not been able to keep still all morning.

Little positives for us, Ally McCoist on TalkSport said yesterday that Sunderland and Boro would be the play off final. He was wrong once, I will continue to believe that he will be wrong again.

Tonight's game will be watched from behind the sofa.

Do agree with Grendel to some extent

this summer our recruitment has to be absolutely spot on, we’ve got the right people in the right positions to do this though I think, well Mark and Adi

It’s a massive game

but this season has been a massive success regardless, to finish 5th in the championship is a success with everything that’s gone on I don’t care what anyone says

but I don’t think we’ll be up there next season what with the transitional summer we’ll probs have, I reckon we’ll be mid table

Get away from my wife

Boro W3 D3 L4

Hi Pete, if you have an issue please dm me, you’re ruining every thread trying to pick an argument with me. Thanks

Agreed pal - @Sky Blue Pete please give it a rest

Always excuses when city do well , weak league , weak relegated teams , grass was too moist , never going to happen again , the pope set a spell on the rest ..

We're a good team

Not going to look past tonight, lets get a win and think about next season at a later date

 

[Matt smith]

Think about the Wembley piss up

 

[Evo1883]

I specifically remember we were never going to get another chance as the league had never been so weak the season before we won league 1

Lucky late goals, as if they were somehow less valid than goals scored at one other point in the game.

 

[jordan210]

few main things to do tonight

let Norton-Cuffey Run at Giles

Be on top of the ref everytime Akpom goes over.

keep their midfield tight so they can make the through balls to archer and akpom

 

[Evo1883]

Make no mistake boro are huge favourites for tonight , but fuck me we can do it

Fadz to run his studs down the back of Akpoms calf

I'm honestly not overly concerned about the likes of Everton and Leicester. The way they've fucked up this year can easily be repeated in the Championship

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Think about the Wembley piss up

Not for me. I chose to book a holiday to the south of France when we were in the bottom three, not envisaging the potential of Wembley.

Agreed but it works both ways. If we lose tonight I’ll be seeing posts about how proud people are and we should be happy about what we’ve achieved.

I won’t be happy unless we win promotion. If we don’t the season is not a success

They are big clubs but coventry should be looking to aim for the playoffs again .. the club will already be planning to lose vik and probably hamer and will have targets

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Win or lose tonight robins and adi and Denis and the players and supporters can be rightly proud

Giles is decent going forward. Not so hot on the defensive side. We definitely need to be trying to take him on and pushing him back, so he has to focus on defending rather than attacking

 

[Robinshio]

Make no mistake boro are huge favourites for tonight , but fuck me we can do it

in 90 mins, they are around 50/50 with the bookies to win (50% draw or city win)
Not really huge favourites
