M'Boro (H) match thread

[G Richards]

We've been iffy at home lately, and that must improve.

 

On the face of it we've got far too much for Boro, but if we don't turn up we'll have egg on our faces. I'd like to see a diamond again, with Sturridge starting, probably alongside Firmino instead of Origi, but if it's the same team that's fine too.

 

Ideally Man City drop points and we pip them for third, so our summer plans become that much more clear without the need for a qualifier. Hopefully West Brom beat them tomorrow.

 

Still, if we don't do that but end up with fourth, it represents solid progress and is something to build on.

 

One more performance needed though. Have to make sure we turn up.

[Hand Shandy]

We'll get snotted.

[Razoray]

One last desperate shot at us not making it for me.

 

How funny would it be if City got 2 draws in their remaining games and Arsenal pipped them to 4th?

 

Guardiola, Sterling and his chubby verucca mate Adey's faces would be a right picture.

 

If that doesn't make this game Bradford 2.0, I don't know what will.

Or Arsenal hammer 6 past Moyes' shower of shot and Pulis gives his buddy Arsene a helping hand and they beat City.

The 2 manc clubs in the Europa would make it difficult for them in the league next season.

One can dream

I do not want to be sat there next season freezing on cold Thursday nights watching us struggle against dynamo whothefuck or some other bunch of crap, hoping we progress through a competition to get into the champions league.

 

Not when we can achieve the same thing in one fucking game on Sunday in sunshine against a shit relegated team.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I see the Boro owner Steve Gibson is considering Agnew's position as head coach due to relegation. That can only be good news for us, I doubt he or certain players will be arsed about their final game. 

[Josef Svejk]

Who's Agnew? I'd consider his position on the sole basis that I've never heard of him.

 

I was honestly trying to figure out who the hell the Boro manager was earlier...

I'd rather Arsenal dipped out and obviously the red mancs. City will spend huge anyway and attract players on the sole basis that they are willing to double wages. Arsenal missing out would be disastrous for them unless they change their wage structure.

Commence pipping.

[Arl arse]

A nervous 1-0 win.

[therevivalist]

Yeah, same formation as last match, with Firimino coming in for our psychologsit. I rather think this would be an easier game for our boys with no doubt of a win. Klopp has finally discovered the solution to the parked bus...Coutinho at number 8, if only he had done it some matches earlier though.

Toffees to get a point at emirates as Arsenal's bogey men.

I doubt it would really have worked, because Sturridge and Lallana were both out as well as Mane. So it would have been a midfield of Lucas, Can and Coutinho, with Wijnaldum in the hole and Firmino and Origi up front. Looks a bit horrible to me.

Plus Coutinho was a bit shit for a couple of months too.

Our main problem hasn't really been Klopp's formation, it's been lack of quality players.

Me too!

[suzy]

When will we find out if this game is on the telly?

 

I can't find any information online.

 

Weeks ago Sky had us on every Sunday except the last game, but as 3rd and 4th place are the only things left to sort out I don't know if they will show us? Of course they all kick off at 3pm

Ill bite you hand off

They will likely show all three games assuming Arsenal dont loose tonight (no laughing in the back)

[Dr Nowt]

Moyes if Sunderland get a result.

 

[Bellflower]

Definitely on Sky, they love our Slip Days.......................

[Kevin D]

I'd bite your hand off for that right now.

Boro are 20-1 to win. It's all so very predictable.

[jsjazz]

Most critical question....

 

What's the OP's record on starting threads?

[ZonkoVille77]

We're fuckin shite.

For the last time this season.

[s(k)aturation]

We're fuckin shite.

For the last time this season.

But not the last time ever hopefully, Zonk.

Are they really? Might be worth an insurance bet, if I can bring myself to it.

[Jairzinho]

The insurance bet is 0-0. Which is presumably about 10/1.
