We beat Boro up there in the FA Cup in one of Mancini's first games.Googoo said:Well........pleased with non PL club but our record against NE clubs in the FA Cup is crap. I can remember losing to Boro in the early 70's and twice in the 90's. Lost to the Geordies in '75 when it was switched to Maine Rd and then under Horton away in the 90's and of course the 1955 cup final. Lost that '73 replay to Sunderland and bloody hell we needed a replay against Hartlepool under Royle!!!!! Have we ever beaten one if the NE big teams?Len Rum said:You've got to be confident with that draw.
Haven't you?
On that optimistic note, Happy New Year!!!

Pretty much.Boro4life said:what happened with city against Wednesday for a long period Wednesday were 1-0 up did your players just not turn up for the first half?.
Well they scored against the run of play but we still had over 70% possession, just at a slow pace. Game changed once silva and Nasri came on. Scored 7 minutes later.

Some of them didn't, too many changes really, we always look a bit disjointed when we do that. Missing too many of our best players to make things easy, but we dominated the games really, especially second half, and whilst the winner was late, it was nothing more than we deserved.Boro4life said:what happened with city against Wednesday for a long period Wednesday were 1-0 up did your players just not turn up for the first half?.

Two many changes ,players not playing together regularyBoro4life said:what happened with city against Wednesday for a long period Wednesday were 1-0 up did your players just not turn up for the first half?.
We are expecting a tough game against you, you will probably do what Wednesday did for the first 20 mins but we will not make the same mistake twice, Pellegrini has learned his lessons after Sunday...we hopeBoro4life said:what happened with city against Wednesday for a long period Wednesday were 1-0 up did your players just not turn up for the first half?.

Horrible fans though hope its policed right they don't give a toss who they hit kids, women, old people!
Didn't they once attack the North stand from the outside whilst the game was going on?
yes. they did. what happened was as the stewards opened the ecit gates some of their idiot group went out then came back into the home section.

As a young boro fan I remember those two cup games that season. Remember one of them been very foggy. Reid did score and we turned it around won 2-1.
The other cup game we also won.
Remember at the time city was a big game for us. Remember all the city fans in the seats behind the goal.
Great memories.
I'll be at this game my first visit to new ground. Been to MR many times. Great old stadium that was.
Should be a good game but me thinks city will be far to strong.
