We'll get some of that 'luck' that I've heard that other teams get and it'll be 3 points that we don't deserve, but will take. 

And are we really playing at 3pm? That'll be a novelty!

We need to win today. Bruce should be sacked regardless, but if we don't win he should definitely be sacked.

He was an unused sub for their Boxing Day match, but not sure if Pulis picked the team.

I reckon he'll play Elmo and Hutton at full back seeing as we'll be up against Pulis's now legendary free kick and corner tactics. I'd leave Whelan out and play Jedinak as the holding midfielder.

I'm dreading what type of team selection he comes up with today. One thing is for sure, it will include his mates.

Two nil Boro. Cant see us getting anything. Pulis will be up for this one. Hates us and is his first game plus they are on a good run

Bruce has never beat a Pulis team. Let's hope today's the first.

Latest managerial appointments in the Premier League were Allardyce and Pardew.

He’s never going to drop Snodgrass as proved by his inclusion again today. But of course he’s dropped Jack he’s looked pretty decent of late.
