He won’t tell me mate

Did it start when the academy players started getting on the bench?

I don't really care about the team being leaked, but no Jones is a massive blow. Apparently their first choice RB is injured which is a plus for us I guess.

I don't see Palmer having anywhere near as bad a game as the first leg (not sure how he possibly could tbf!) but if we can score first, maybe...just maybe we have a chance.

I have only been told from Saturday gone so I’m not too sure. But you could be right

Duly noted. No more leaks 👍🏻

Perhaps the best way is to only publish a couple of hours before the team sheets are announced keeps your contribution welcome and uncontreversial (how do you spell this word lol)

All this talk of leaks makes me realise that tonights game is massive for our lowly league club.

The nation's clubs supporters are going to will that The Boro win tonight they want to see Chelsea pushed off their perch once again, seems they are not a very liked club apart from their own fans.

As long as we do not leak goals, put on a performance that makes us Boro fans proud of the lads attitude, desire and willingness to go the distance (queue ghost baseball players), prevent them from scoring in the 90 minutes and the rest is history.

Ladies and Gents whatever the outcome just enjoy it and remember there is no need to single out any of our players for complaint, this is a one off game and we win or lose as a team and as supporters!

Now can I keep quiet tonight in their hospitality suite???????

So want to be tested and to fist pump my way around the place

Good luck Middlesbrough FC from every single Boro supporter wherever they are!

Do us PROUD

 

Going to the 1st leg I was concerned they would just blew us away, our weakened team, their history of consecutive wins over us, everything pointed to an away win, I was hoping that if we can sort of keep the score respectable, put in a decebt performance & hopefully, have the 2nd leg when we have something to play for but dear me, it turned out better than I dared have dreamed of 

Tonight we could be blown away, they could steamroll us from kickoff, but on the flipside, we could just frustrate them, they start doubting themselves & out of the blue, score a goal & put them on the back foot 

Theyve broke our hearts more than once, lets give em a bit back 🤞

No Jones = defeat.

They will dominate the ball and Jones pace/directness represents the only way I see us troubling Chelsea, I think an early goal for them and they will win comfortably. Regardless of the score this is a very poor Chelsea side and at full strength I think we would pose them so many problems. UTB 

Nerves are well are truly kicking in CMON BORO

millwall game, and before that we have had people from the unders there before.

was there any curve balls in the millwall line up? 

the chelsea line up kinda picks itself, I'm thinking the millwall one also was probs not hard to guess. obv the more it happens in a row the less likely it is someone is guessing, but I dont think you can give the line up leaks the same weight as definite leaks without something in there that you can point at and go, no one would of predicted they would play or be dropped. 

Like before Carrick on Wilders last game it got leaked that Giles was dropped, no one would of predicted that as was madness, but wilder dropped him and gives it much more weight as being a proper leak, compared to just naming a team what essentially picks itself up to a point

first goal is key, if we manage to get one early, or just frustrate them for a decent length of time early in the game we have seen that crowd is 15 minutes away at any point to becoming toxic against the home team. they showed that things were uncomfortable when they lost at our ground and the support and players were far from unified, with some even just bailing straight away, and some getting cr@p when paying respects to the travelling fans.
