Smogzilla 8,958 6.8k Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Feels like today is a bit of a crossroads moment for boro. I dread to think what could happen to the club if we were relegated. You just can't take for granted that it would be something we could ever come back from. Hold on to your butts. Tonight's gonna be tense. 🤢 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaCider24 17,446 22.7k Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 George Friend's 299th appearance for Middlesbrough tonight. So close to 300, but possibly his last ever game for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the Star Wars reference AR because I hadn’t got a clue what you were on about 😃. Agree re concentration for the rest of the day. I can’t think about anything else 😱 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denzel Zanzibar 7,925 15.2k Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Technically we're safe, but one cannot help but feel the EFL might not be on our side come the Wigan/Wednesday points deductions. The fact that teams might not actually know if they are relegated or not after tonight is absolutely ridiculous. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the points you raised and I totally agree with you actually means we are not technically safe but boy some strange results need to happen to relegate us.

edinboro 1,393 2.2k Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If Wigan get their points back it will drag on in the courts. Another week of not knowing is scandalous. Just puts more pressure on us to get that point tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimsbyBoro 2,337 3k Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Wigan haven't actually lost the points yet. So it wouldn't be a case of getting them back. T They could easily be deducted less points on appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rioch's Braves 736 3.5k Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The last game, and the end to an absolutely dreadful season, the high point Woodgate been sacked, the low point far too many to mention, good riddance to bad rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
