Are you complaining about the complainers?

If so, let me be the first to complain about the complaining of the complainers.

I take offence to that, or do I agree with it? I'm not sure so, just in case I'll bloody moan about it!

I'm sick of complainers complaining about complainers complaining about me and others complaining about complaining.

UTFB, Keep the faith, MC's Red & White Army, Come on yoooooooo Reds! 

Once more unto the breach! (or should that be beach, bugger, there I go again 🤣)

It's pointless complaining, nobody other than the complainer really cares.

Carrick will be with us for the start of next season and if we have not got maximum points or something close to it by the International break (1st Sept) he will be out.

Tmr we get beat, and Cov once again celebrate at our expense........Typical Boro!

At least we'd take them down with us. 👐🏻

Pyrrhic victory.

I can smell an infuriating win coming tomorrow.

Cov get shaky because of the pressure and our lot bafflingly play up to potential......then Millwall win anyway.

Would be the perfect cherry on this Sh!tcake of a season.

Only the one away hat trick v Coventry City

1st October 1988 - Bernie Slaven became the 44th different Boro player to score a hat trick when he scored his 4th HT in a 1st division fixture (now PL) & our 29th away HT at Highfield road, our 122nd in total & our 1st top flight HT since 29th November 1947 when Cecil McCormack bagged 3 goals

 

15th August 1992 - The 1st ever season of the PL seen the Boro & Coventry go head to head in the opening day of the brand new season, brand new era Boro travelled to Coventry with high hopes after manager Lennie Lawrence had steered the mighty Boro to a great campaign the previous season in the league & cups & an unbelievable last day victory at Wolves seen us finish runners up to Ipswich Town & join 21 other clubs for the inaugural season of the PL

Paul Wilkinson has the honour of scoring our 1st ever PL goal, unfortunately we lost the game 2-1

 

15th April 2000 - Christian Ziege scored Boro’s only penalty success against Coventry when scoring our only goal in a 2-1 away defeat

It’s a thing I can see happening, we go 2-0 up after like 15 minutes and look like world beaters.

Regarding the Millwall thing, it would make no difference if Bristol get beat wouldn’t it? If we win and Bristol get beat then Millwall or Blackburn can win (though not both)

The fact that this poorly coached team of ours in all its ponderous spineless magnificence is still in with a shout of the play offs just confirms what a poor league this has been this season. I have sadly reached the point now of total apathy, I am that disalusioned I can only hope for change for next season so I can regain my mojo. Amongst my crowd of friends and fellow supporters this view is in the majority by about 75%, very worrying!

Im excited for the season to finish because the relentless negativity is so boring. I understand why people are disappointed and i am too, but spending every single post digging the boot in is pretty pointless when it's all been said a thousand times. 

I think people repeating themselves are actually, in a funny way, showing just how much they care.

It is pointless to repeat the same crap, I feel like I've been saying the same stuff over and over again when I have the willingness to talk about this club right now.

But it's like after every game, it feels like there's still something there. It's not nothing because this club means so much to us all. But it's the same feeling, the same thoughts, the same disappointment. People feeling the need to express that they're disappointed but saying the same things reminds us that there are plenty of people here hoping for the tide to turn, regardless of how they talk about it. It's like they've in some way got their hopes up again just to feel that same disappointment anew so it feels like a new thing to talk about.

It's a bit like that mate who broke up with his girlfriend two years ago and is totally over her but never shuts up talking about her, where she is, what she's done, who she's with. So much over her that the heartbreak and betrayal still cuts deep yet the lingering love shines through by being unable to get them out of their mind. Typical Boro, fall in love then break your heart.
