First topic message reminder :

Read an awful article on top 50 managers under 50. Katanga higher than Howe and Dyche, to name just two.

Nowt like ripping the fans off, nothing unusual about that though.

It's just hit me that I'm one game from fulfilling one of my football fan dreams of seeing Norwich play at Wembley.

Frak

RMT union call rail strike for PLAY OFF CHAMPIONSHIP DAY nice one.

Pre match nerves are now kicking in, good job I'm not playing.

LILY TOMLIN - YOU BEAUTY!!! Yahoo

We're going to Wembley!

No more than Boro have deserved. We've pretty much dominated this game so far.

by dyrewolfe Fri May 15, 2015 8:17 pm

Uh-oh.

Leadbitter's hurt after making a lung-busting run back to get a tackle in to block an attempted cross.

Physio on...some magic spray...and it looks like he'll try and run it off.

Boro 1-0 Brentford

Been an Anti-Climax so far much like Olly's sex life drumroll

by dyrewolfe Fri May 15, 2015 8:37 pm

1-0 at half time and Boro looking pretty comfortable. Brentford with a couple of half chances but thats it.

Looks like Woodgate will be coming on for Friend second half.

Leadbitter struggling and Bamford was warming up before the whistle, so Karanka may be doing a bit of reshuffling.

Are you talking about his appearance or his defending? Laugh

His tackling is atrocious - even for a midfielder. I can't understand why AK has made him a makeshift defender.

by Fernando Fri May 15, 2015 8:52 pm

Should of been 1-1

by dyrewolfe Fri May 15, 2015 8:53 pm

Eek! That was close! Brentford coming within inches of pulling one back after the restart. :o

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri May 15, 2015 8:53 pm

Andre Gray is properly awful

by dyrewolfe Fri May 15, 2015 8:57 pm

God! Could have been 2-0 there! So close for Kike!

Beautiful pass to set him up (almost)

Heh. Admire your optimism. Unfortunately we have the best defence in the Championship.

Aaaagh!

Great run from Tomlin there! Only denied by a last-gasp challenge.

Should have been 3-0 there!

by dyrewolfe Fri May 15, 2015 9:23 pm

ADOOOOMAAAAAHHHH!!!

Great build-up play between Tomlin, Clayton and Vossen. AA dances around the keeper to make it 3-0!

Boro turn on the style!

Hey - we've been much better behaved 2nd half...no more bookings in case you hadn't noticed. raspberry

by dyrewolfe Fri May 15, 2015 9:36 pm

Whoa! Cheeky effort from AA there, dips just over the bar.

by dyrewolfe Fri May 15, 2015 9:42 pm

LMAO!

Massive pitch invasion at the final whistle despite pleas from the club to stay in the stands.

Could be some trouble over this...not that anyone will care.

Poignant final sub by AK with Woodgate coming on and taking the captain's armband from Leadbitter.

Jesus - on this form I'd fancy us to beat Ipswich or Norwich...or even both combined!

Bring on Wembley!!!

Now off to the Carra - never been so nervous in me life OTBC!

by FootballLight Sat May 16, 2015 10:22 am

I'm not one that is shocked by them ticket prices. Although I didn't get tickets for the FA Cup Semi-Final (which was a huge shame), the prices were ridiculous, although I don't think they were as much anyway. Although on one website I found 3 tickets available for £220! Yikes

See if you can get a few glasses of Prosecco down Delia, then get her in the dressing room to give the pre-match team talk. Wink

Good work Boro, the best away game lives on for next season.

Good luck to both Norwich and Ipswich today. If I was a betting man, Norwich would be pick.

by Fernando Sat May 16, 2015 11:28 am

After watching Middlesborough yesterday i think Norwich are 99% guaranteed for Promotion.

Norwich XI: Ruddy, Whittaker, Martin (c), Bassong, Olsson; Redmond, Howson, Tettey, Johnson, Hoolahan, Jerome.

Ipswich XI: Bialkowski, Mings, Chambers (c), Smith, Berra, Skus, Anderson, Bru, Bishop, Murphy, Sears.

I hate you guys trying to jinx us damn you all

by Fernando Sat May 16, 2015 11:31 am

Middlesborough seemed to struggle with Andre Gray (should of had atleast 2) CamJam will five knuckle shuffle all over them on a massive Wembley pitch Ok!

by NickisBHAFC Sat May 16, 2015 12:18 pm

Why is Rodger East officiating? He made a hash of one of the play off games last season. FA will never learn.

Only problem is, CamJam hasn't managed it in 2 games against us, what a comfortable win, Brentford talked the talk but couldn't walk the walk.

Adomah will love the big Wembley pitch and he's right on form for it, didn't even need to put Bamford on, but he'll be back for the final no doubt about that.

Got my ticket, got the coach, WE'RE AT WEMBLEY on merit, 38000 tickets, the Red Army is on the march.

C'MON THE BORO!

You're conveniently forgetting Tomlin and Adomah missed great chances (could have been 5 for us). Also if thats what Jerome is in to, I hope he's arrested for gross indecency! raspberry

Still, I'm quite happy if everyone writes us off. We always play the underdog role very well. Wink

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat May 16, 2015 1:08 pm

That was awful

by dyrewolfe Sat May 16, 2015 1:29 pm

What are you complaining about? Norwich are winning now... Headscratch

You are a very strange lad, Olly. Wink

Still, its been that sort of game...it was going to take an error, moment of brilliance...or in this case a blatant handball, to get things going.

Ipswich down to 10 men...should be a formality now. Look forward to seeing Norwich in the final.

by dyrewolfe Sat May 16, 2015 1:35 pm

Whoops - looks like I spoke too soon.

That was some shambolic defending though Laugh

by dyrewolfe Sat May 16, 2015 1:39 pm

Nicely worked goal there - well taken by Howson.

Surely Ipswich can't come back a second time?

by GSC Sat May 16, 2015 1:41 pm

Ipswich are a solid side. But unless they can grab another scrappy goal quickly, you'd suspect they're going to be overstretched by Norwich

by dyrewolfe Sat May 16, 2015 1:46 pm

Wow - Jerome misses an open goal!

Be happy if he plays like that in the final. Wink

by FootballLight Sat May 16, 2015 1:46 pm

Has no relevance to my comment, but ok.

by GSC Sat May 16, 2015 1:54 pm

3-1, and that, you suspect, is that
