Middlesbrough vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Fin Feds Dad]

Left the house at 8am and was after 11pm when we got back .

5.15pm kick offs are a nuisance for travelling fans , suit no one but the armchair supporter / television audience , another annoyance of modern football. Also gives people another couple of hours in the pub , which some clearly coped with better than others.

Great result -with some superb performances.  Jack was superb.

Agree that Grabban and Kodija could have done more .

How bitter is this guy? Stick with it for the revelation at the end

i thought Hourihane gave another ineffective performance, if he is not scoring I am not sure what he brings to the team.
I think Onomah Thor and Whelan contribute a lot more to the team.

I find the 5:15 kick off a pain in the arse at home, as I've got two little ones and it covers tea/bedtime.

Great day yesterday. Very professional performance. Had a couple of drinks in Boro after the game met some decent lads. Only downside I lost 60 quid in the ground! Oh well some lucky bastard had a great day. On to villa park to finish the job. I predict we will go a goal down and after a nerve shredding game we will storm back to win 2-1 on the night.UTV

I tend to agree. Problem is, he does score a fair bit. But getting a proper energetic number 8 in that position would be one of my priorities if we did go up

Indeed. It wouldn't surprise me if the petulant brat had a complete meltdown after he'd finished his deluded, potty-mouthed tantrum. It's an endearing image...

Brilliant result yesterday - so well done to Bruce & his charges for getting it spot-on. One down, two to go. UTV!

Bitter yes, but I found it quite inspiring, the fact that he was so rapped up in his assessment. wouldn't be a bad idea to show that to our boys.

They rang rings around us apparently. Don't we normally win at the Riverside anyway?

Some of those Boro fan videos are comedy gold. And where the fuck is Bearminum? Of the ones I watched the 2 blonde lasses spoke the most sense.

Maybe show this to John Terry whilst they're at it:-

A typical Steve Bruce performance, we played most of the game after we scored defending.
Can we get through to the PLplaying like this?

Perhaps more importantly (?), would we survive the PL playing like this?

Albion managed seven years of it. Also, I'd like to think there would be a majoir squad overhaul should we ever get there.

I love the line “ Pulis protecting a 1 nil defeat”
