Day Of Destiny - 2nd May 2026

[Andy_Faber]

Here we go again, a last match nailbiter

One prediction from me, and one lesson from history

Prediction: I think we'll win

Lesson: Remember the date, the balmy spring evening of monday 8th May 1972. We were third favourites (as we are now) for the Division 1 championship to Leeds and Liverpool but somehow prevailed (despite not even playing on that evening and despite Leeds allegedly trying to bribe their ref) and became champions of England

Whatever, its been a good and improving season and Clowes, not Clapton, is God

Hopefully Southampton win tomorrow. Which will mean Boro have more to play for.

If they do i think Wrexham will lose. And I predict Hull get a draw with Norwich.

We win 3 nil.

[MadAmster]

We ought to beat the Blades. Norwich are capable of doing us a favour unless they're already on the beach. A Soton win against Ipswich, or a draw, would mean Boro can still ht the automatic places and see them more motivated to beat Wrexham.

One scoreline from a few years back still haunts me. Derby 0 Reading 3. So near yet so far.

Simply the fact that we're still in with a shout on the last day is, for me, a win this season and far better than I expected.

If we do make the extra game days, we'll be playing the sides above us and we haven't done well against them this season. It really would be a huge turnaround in fortunes if we not only made the playoffs but also won them. Can it happen, yes it can. Will it, almost guaranteed not.

Que sera, sera.
