    Matchday Fact - It seems that the Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough is the only place in the UK where you can bungee jump from a bridge. If you take on the challenge, you’ll climb the 210 steps to the top, before diving the 160ft towards the River Tees. Not recommended, but if you get there early and have half an hour spare ....

    Game - The Baggies have just done us an enormous favour in beating Arsenal 3 - 1. Middlesbrough haven't won a game in their last ten outings and have lost in six of those fixtures. We have a real chance of easing into 5th spot, 3 points behind the RS and still with two games in hand. Surely we can't screw this chance up........................ or can we.

    Why does that sound like we're set to drop points tomorrow!

    Now that Arsenal have lost I would say it more or less guarantees we won't win. We don't take advantage, we **** up.

    Extremely premature score update?

    No goals yet, kick off not for 15 hours <ok>

    When you look at the MO of both sides this season it really does have 0-0 written all over it.

    Ofcourse if Livpl also lose then Jose will claim we've gained a point on Arsenal and them so it's all good.

    am ready for another upset today more as we are missing many key players and as usual when rivals drop points we don't turn up

    You've played a football match at some point in the last six months so it's a lot to ask of the players to defeat a team of Middlesbrough's calibre. 0-0 and a post-match interview of Mourinho gushing over how Paul Pogba dealt with Grant Leadbitter.

    Surely it'll be a post match interview of Mourinho claiming that we didn't win because of the conspiracy that saw Pogba get injured because the FA don't want Utd to win anything ever?

    Pogba gets his hair cut on Sunday mornings so will be out for this one. Will Boro be able to handle Fellaini?

    Look on the bright side. Whatever else happens, at kick off we will be level on points with Arsenal.
