I never tire of watching this. What a goal by Merse and we put paid to them for 15 years and counting.

However their GD was significantly worse than Boro who were 17th. So even if they'd held on and won 2-0 at VP they'd have need a goal swing of 24 on the final day.

Indeed, so until it's mathematically impossible for them to go down, they wouldn't have been officially relegated.
