Middlesbrough - why?

[baggieal]

Why are Middlesbrough playing decent attacking football and look good for the play offs? Love him or hate him, Pulis seems to be doing a decent job at Boro and supporters like him.

What a complete embarrassment for the shambles of our club if the three to go up are Dingles, Vile and Middlesbrough and certainly would not bet against it!

Than again - Pardew still believes

Wolves thrashed today like us 4-1, can see them missing out. Cardiff,villa and Fulham on a good run.

It was pretty much the same at West Brom...as sure as God made little green apples he will revert to type.

All good runs come to an end

They/Middlesbrough were there to be got at today but when we've gifted them a goal in the very first minute, you know its going to be an uphill struggle. And our manager/coach is also one to keep talking about 'believing, we must still believe' etc.

Evening Acido - you could do with six points from the next 3 games and think you will win on Tuesday! Millwall and Bristol City though are both decent...........

Hope you stay up as fancy a trip to Barnsley next season as we are now gone and it'a pity Pardew is not already gone!

[Acido]

Hey up Al, yes we've got our game in hand against Naaarich on Tuesday, we could do with them treating it like an end of season game, that might give us a chance!. Millwall are on a superb run of 5 straight away wins at the moment and as its Brizzle after that, its always a tasty affair when slimy little Tom thumb Johnson visits us.

As for your lot and Alan Partridge, will he stay the season now because its surely too late for anybody to change it round. We havent played you for a good few years now have we, in league or cup or even in a friendly.

Pulis is a good manager. He might not have played the style we like but he gets results. There's no way his winnless run would have lasted till now. I reckon we would have been clear of relegation and survived with him, then we could have sacked him and changed things.

[Yarmbaggie]

We will never know Boingy if TP would have got enough points to make us safe or not. Like you I was in the camp for a longtime of supporting him despite the poor entertainment because I thought he would keep us up. The reality is that despite awful non football he stopped getting points and that is why he was finally sacked.

If he had have stayed and if he had have got enough points to keep us up (a lot of ifs), then we would not have sacked him them because he would have been doing exactly what the owner wanted him to do which was to protect his PL income. Another season of out and out defensive football would have made the atmosphere at the club worse even with the ‘success’ of staying in the PL. Supporters wanted to see more than just 11 behind the ball and trying to nick a goal from a set piece for a 1-0 Win.

Spot on. That first half season he was in charge I was amazed how good we were attacking wise. I thought I'd misjudged the bloke. Then he settled in........
