    As we have seen in the past these games are intense to say the least. Hopefully our lads can play their game and not let the occasion get the better of them. We are starting to get a wonderfully talented squad with more additions to follow this month hopefully. At the moment with injuries or whatever we just need to stay within striking distance of the play offs. If we can get into them at the end of the season I honestly believe we can go up however a huge amount of hard work, luck or any other help we can get needs to be in place to get there. Going for a 1 - 0 sh*tfest to the lads tomorrow.....cometh the hour cometh Rosco right at the end. Got to keep 11 players on the pitch for 90 minutes is a must.....HTL!!!!
    Wonderful post as always RTB.....your just the best!!!!

    Thanks again RTB - Great thread.

    Im actually s******ng myself about this one. Theres a whole Boro tribe at the pub I'm watching this at and the banter will be immense. Im hoping we batter them, would be delighted if we nicked a win, but would also accept a draw

    Hawaaaaaaay

    Was already committed to being out when match is on so plan was to record it to watch later, the best laid plans eh....
    So lads lots of video's please so I can catch up on here later today.
    Hope this is the only problem we have today with this match. HTL

    Switch off the Sky box from the mains for at least 30 seconds then power it back on - if it has any signs of life you should see instructions on the TV.
    - mine does this regularly, where it just freezes and does not respond to the remote.
    Good luck <cheers>

    Might be in a minority here (don’t think I am looking at the ticket sales) and say I see this as a derby. I work with a Boro fan and spent years of my younger days on Wilton site. Looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, as they say!!

    Pre match jitters are here and way worse than a “normal” game so bring on the derby atmosphere

    I see this as a local Derby but not THE local Derby. No where near as nervous of losing than against the others.

    Tried all that RTB, my technical wizard has been all over it and it's properly deceased, new Q box coming 1st Feb. You'd think they could have sorted one out before lunch time today the money were paying them<laugh>

    Living in Teesside this is just a big a game as Newcastle for me. I'm absolutely bricking it right now and dreading to see our makeshift lineup when its announced.

    Stewart, Evans, Ballard and Neil all there. Batth and Aji were on earlier photos so hopefully the scan that Mowbray was on about was OK.
