Middlesborough Match Thread

A truly great result tonight - well done the lads. Makes me even more confident about my mid table finish prediction.

[quote user="Crafty Canary"]One for the stattos, when was the last time we kept 5 consecutive clean sheets in the league?

It must be pre Martin 😊[/quote]

Not sure on that one but just seen a tweet about this (and am stealing the hashtag) - last league win at Middlesborough was 1988.... Our goalkeeper was...? #SonOfAGunn

The answer Crafty is never, I think.

Top top workrate and performance overall.

[quote user="lincoln canary and Golden Coppel"]Great result.

And a touch of class from Howson at the end too. Nice to see.[/quote]

Yeah, in light of that, I take back my F**K off Howson.

[Darth Canary1 91]

Looking forward to the miserablists, which isn''t a word, but bring it on

You''re quite right actually Hoge - first time we''ve done that since joining the league in 1920.

Sheff Utd, and now Middlesborough. Two fantastic results!

[Coneys Knee 953]

What did Howson do?

What did Howson do? Missed that bit.

Love it! Really needed this. Thanks City! Loving this young, passionate team more and more gamy by game. We score, we don''t score, we''re unlucky/lucky whatever. We have a team that does the club proud!

Brilliant stuff! :D Glad I didn''t bet against them out of spite for life :P

[PurpleCanary 5,561]

Still very early but it might be the result that gets looked back on at the end of the season. I could only bear to check the score occasionally and kept wondering if it was gong to be a repeat of the Newcastle game, going into added ahead and managing to lose. But we seem to have a coach who understands Ricardo''s Law, that you have to be able to win 1-0 in the Championship.

[quote user="spindrift"]Massive win. Table looks healthier.[/quote]

Few teams on a run. Fulham and Villa have their act together, whilst Preston and Bristol City continue to surprise.

Imperative we put this little run toghter. Hopefully we can find away to be a touch more expressive and find our goal scoring fluency, particularly at home.

Watkins and Wildshut, been wanting them to start together for ages. I think they should have a decent run now.

[Icecream Snow 761]

Just saw the Sky highlights - If Middlesborough could head the ball, they''d have had three or four. Made it easy for Gunn.

Stayed out to applaud the city fans.

Ricardo must be feeling orgasmic now .

[quote user="Icecream Snow"]Just saw the Sky highlights - If Middlesborough could head the ball, they''d have had three or four. Made it easy for Gunn.[/quote]So the fact that they didn''t is down to their incompetence and not our good defending making it difficult?

[Yellowfuture 71]

Thanks Lincoln.

A fine gesture from what I imagine to be a decent bloke.

Touch of class as you say.

Only one was a sitter, the last one.

Great stuff - still for the life of me can''t work out why we had to go all that way with Sunderland coming all the way down to play the binnen in the same night, but who cares if we win....and 5 clean sheets in a row from Norwich is something I never thought I''d see!

That''s fantastic, Farke achieves a new club record only 10 games into his reign. What odds would we have got on that after conceeding 12 goals in the first 5 games.

[sonyc 5,518]

Ivo as captain also seems a master stroke by Farke!

[Making Plans 936]

A great boost for team confidence and a possible turning point for the club.Just what we needed after a couple of missed opportunities at home.The future is looking brighter

[sonyc 5,518]

Forgot to say fair play to Howson

[paddycanary 539]

An outstanding result and a truly resolute performance! These are the games that unite a squad, lift the fans and help to generate momentum. 5 shut-outs in a row is hugely impressive. Glass is more than half-full tonight! Well done to the lads

[Hairy Canary 704]

Really chuffed tonight 😀. Still a way to go getting forward but got to be the result of the season so far. We have come such a long way in the last few weeks. Huge credit to Farke

[The Bristol Nest 513]

I had that down as the toughest fixture of the season. Mind you we are on Sky Saturday...

[Crabbycanary3 994]

It''s lovely to talk about successive, gritty 1-0 away wins, and also finding a potential diamond (Trybull) for a pittance.

Those sort of things seem to have escaped my memory, supporting City, for quite some time

[lake district canary 4,531]

Two excellent away results and performances in a row.  Shows we''re right in there with the rest of them in terms of challenging for the league this season.  

[Horse Renoir 1]

I''n my experience, especially from sharing Wembley with them the Middlesbrough fans are class. If anyone''s paid any attention to my pervious posts I tend to enjoy slagging off other teams for petty reasons but I like their club.

We time wasted and spoiled again for all we were worth tonight. How many of our players got coins thrown at them? How many fans have been hospitalised? Did Garry Monk run into our technical area and boot over our equipment? No? Hmm, it''s almost like holding onto a lead doesn''t warrant disrespectful and violent behaviour!

Well done to all who traveled as well, did us proud tonight, stream didn''t have any commentary so you came through loud and clear! Great effort
