Match Day Thread Hull City v Middlesbrough

Doubt it will happen
Hopefully seri is fit
I’d go for

Baxter
Christie fig greaves Fleming
Woods seri
Doc Longman Tufan
Oscar

city to finally win at home
3-1

 

I can't see anything else but another home bumming. Could get messy. Wake up and smell the coffee Chazz old chap.

 

Back for this one.
No idea what the team should be, but fingers crossed we’ll do them.

 

back on track, beat the smoggies. it would be either a nice send off for dawson, or possible welcome for rosie. 2-0 city.

 

I seem to be noticing a trend with your assessments!

 

I'm sure Seri will be starting again, we gave him a bit of rest last game, same with Docherty. With the games so close together need to use the squad a bit.

 

Yes he quite literally knows **** all !!!!!

 

We really could do with a win, and get this home game losses monkey off our back. We need to get Fleming starting on the left, Greaves, and either Figgy or Jones at centre back. I can see Coyle coming in, and resting Christie or pushing him forward to play on the right. Would stick with Seri, Woods & Docherty in midfield, and Pelkas, Oscar, and either Longman or Christie on the right.

Could be the announcement of LR before the game, and with the time change a 12.45 kick-off now for me, which is better than 1,45 am.

 

Ingram

 

I think we should play away always

 

flemings had some more minutes now
he has to start tommorrow
elder himself has been injured plus fleming looked good in the 2nd half

this is a massive game, certainly the biggest of the season so far

a loss here would be a bit of a disaster and they will leapfrog us
would like to pull away from the pit of despair of the relegation zone

chuba akpom, feel like every team in the championship has an ex city forward

 

Middlesbrough … good for nowt.

City - 3. Good for nowt - nowt

 

In 1801, Middlesbrough was a small farm with a population of just 25. Joseph Pease of Darlington needed a port for his coal ships, so created 'Port Darlington' and brought in Irish labourers to create what became Middlesbrough. This increase was fuelled in 1841when Henry Bolckow and John Vaughan of Wales, discovered ironstone deposits in the Eston Hills.

The name 'Middlesbrough' predates the settlement, and possibly relates to an abbey located halfway between Whitby and Durham. It is 'brough' rather than 'borough' due to a spelling error when it was given its charter in 1853.

Middlesbrough was the first major British town and industrial target to be bombed during the Second World War.
2 Yorks – The 2nd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards) infantry regiment are very strongly associated with Middlesbrough. Originally formed at Dunster Castle, Somerset in 1688 to serve King William of Orange, later King William III.

During the 1970s, actor Terry Scott, of Terry and June, managed to drive his car off the end of the Transporter Bridge and was only saved from the murky waters of the River Tees by the bridge's safety net

Boro's old Ayresome Park ground featured in the 35th edition of the Guinness Book of Records for being the home of the largest reported advertising hoarding, which was painted on the roof of the North Stand by sponsor Heritage Hampers.

The Dock Clock Tower at Middlehaven Dock in Middlesbrough has four sides, but only three clock faces. because employers did not want the dockers to clock-watch.

The Little Theatre in Linthorpe was the first new theatre built in England after World War II.

Dorman Long of Middlesbrough are responsible for bridges all over the world, including theTyne Bridge, Menai Suspension bridge and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

In 1889, then amateur Middlesbrough FC tried to join the league by joining with Middlesbrough Ironopolis and playing at the Paradise Ground. They took Accrington's place, but it only lasted a season due to financial problems, but beat teams like Small Heath (now Birmingham City), and Ardwick (now Manchester City) and ended up 11th of 15 teams.

Middlesbrough were one of the founder members of the Premier league, and the first club to be relegated from it. (among others, obviously)
The Riverside was the first stadium built to comply with the Taylor report on all seater stadiums.

Middlesbrough were the first football club in the world to launch its own TV channel – Boro TV.

Middlesbrough FC regularly top the table in community work, with the club being involved in many schemes and initiatives to assist and support the local community.

 

that really sums up the whole area

 

3-1 City

 

ayresome park looked like a classic stadium
have a soft spot for old british stadia and their place amongst the houses

 

Given they 'brough' rather than 'borough' shouldn't they call themselves 'bro' not 'boro?

 

I think it’ll be a close match, but after an even 0-0, I think they’ll just nick it.
Hopefully I’m very wrong.
