Sky Sports (David Prutton) hasn't even factored us into the relegation picture/scenario.. which is nice

Oh God

 

We're doomed 😬😬

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. 🤢

George Friend's 299th appearance for Middlesbrough tonight.

So close to 300, but possibly his last ever game for us.

I haven't been this tense since I fell into that nest of gundarks...

(Star Wars reference for non sci-fi geeks)

 

But yeah, its gonna be hard to concentrate on anything today until 7:30.

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 😱

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.

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.

Have a feeling there will be some nasty tastes in various mouths tonight

Mark Clement was on the radio this morning and when asked about the Wigan points deduction, he said “put it this way I wouldn’t want to be the team that finishes 21st as there is no certainty that Wigan won’t get their points back”  and he’s a Boro fan!

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.

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.

The 12 points will be removed after tonights games.

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.

They have lost the points; they're just not applied until conclusion of tonights games.

remember Leeds had their points deduction carried over to the following season as they'd been relegated

The 12 points deduction won't affect us when Leeds turn Charlton over.
