We were superior in every way and I can’t believe that some on here think that we were lucky 🍀 Shame on you all @Downsouth I’m trying to force the debate to beat the Brighton thread 😜 Luck or not I think it was a great game. Found out after the game, that my wife (who is not a boro supporter) put a couple of quid on boro winning. So I was really chuffed haha 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It's a poor show 👎 If he felt his nerves would get the better of him in a shootout and there were still willing volunteers ahead of him then I applaud his decision not denigrate it. I feel that poor lad at Utd was put in a position where because he was a forward he was expected to take a penalty sooner rather than later. talent and skill however great will always be undone by nerves and doubt, it takes wisdom to recognise this, it takes strength to live with this. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

You make a good point here, well articulated, and with plenty of merit. I suppose my response would be Bok bok chicken 🐔 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Blackburn game springs to mind when he misplaced a few passes early but then had a fairly comfortable game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rest of team go crackers and Sol puts his best "hint of a smile" expression on... pure class 🙂 I love his wink to the ref as he is about to take his peno. He was so chill throughout the shootout, a Boro legend for me now already. What a guy 3 Link to post Share on other sites
