Middlesbrough post-match thread

You lot are making it up! Could've been 10, my arse! I've just watched the 3 minute highlights on BBC sport, and clearly Boro had as many chances as us. Admittedly their write-up seems to describe a different game to the highlights, but the evidence is there for all to see...

Thank the Lord we don't seem to have any injuries. There were several deliberate attempts to maim our players today. Dirty Smoggies bastards could've had at least 3/4 players off.

If we'd have taken only half our chances we would've scored 5 & could've removed the risk of serious injuries.

Wembers agin with the rags I hope.......give em a public humiliation.......AGAIN.
 
It was a great atmosphere at the game today. Brilliant singing from our fans, I've hardly got any voice left. Loved it, especially as the Boro fans didn't seem to have arrived. If we got 5,000 tickets as I was told by someone then our 5000 fans made more noise than there 45,000!!

Thoroughly enjoyed the game as well, every player gave everything. Silva MOTM, with Zaba a very, very close second, for me. Loved our reception for Negredo which seemed to fluster him so much he never got into his stride!! We respect most of the players who have left us and gone on elsewhere which is brilliant to see. Also loved the singing for Joleon Lescott, he's top of the league!!

Didn't enjoy the Boro players cynical fouling which was completely ignored by Mike Dean. As I said to someone near me, I think the referees union have got a contract out on City this season!!!

Apart from that it was a good day out, worth getting up very early for on a Saturday morning instead of a lie in and a read!! :-)

Thanks City you did fight to the end.
 
Strolled through it. Even to the point where we were a bit slack today...

The finishing was awful on numerous occasions ...it should have been 5 or 6....Silva, Sane and Raheem all guilty.

Our approach play was fantastic however and the gulf in class was clearly evident. Silva again ran the game with Yaya, Kdb had some slack moments but his crossing was outstanding at times as well. Sane had their fullback on the ropes all match...

Zabba got bravo out of jail early in the first half - just hope fi we do get to the final Bravo doesn't cost us the game as he is still very unconvincing

All and all we completely outplayed them......not sure Pep will be too happy with the final ball at times and the finishing but some of the build up play was outstanding and it looked like a professional team against a pub team at times.

Come on Lincoln!!!!

Absolutely this.

I thought we controlled the game from start to finish today, and the only critism is we must be more clinical in front of goal. Against better opposition we won't be able to create 10 chances we might only get a couple. But you can only beat what is in front of you, and their keeper had an absolute blinder, plus I thought the Officials got both decisions for both our "Offside Goals" wrong.

I can now enjoy the weekend and look forward to the Monaco game on Wednesday night.

Come on City!!!

I think the first offside one, the play had pretty much stopped when he scored so may not have panned out that way.

I thought first half we were a bit sloppy with our passing out of defence but other than that it was an excellent performance
 
When the rags get to the semis there are only crap teams left to play. We'll (probably) have Arse, Tott'm & Chelsea/Utd.

(I know, Wigan in that Final.......)
 
Good result job done , but we can't gloss over the amount of chances we are missing we could have easily got revenge for the 8-1 today but our finishing was very poor , Silva , Sane and Sterling all could/should have had hat-tricks , looking forward to the highlights tonight it will be hard work for BBMUTVC making the smoggies look good but i am sure they will do their best.
 
I always find it funny how one eyed some fans can be. From a boro forum.
"Ref was pretty poor today as well. He seemed to wait and see what the city players thought of every boro foul before he got his yellow out. But you're allowed to take Traore out 4 or 5 times without a yellow."
 
Surprisingly one-sided affair, in which we were ludicrously wasteful. Both Clayton and Leadbetter should have been sent off.

No different to this forum. Fans see it from their own clubs perspectives and most swear their is ab agenda or bias

Just the nature of being a fan you see it through your own prism.
