Imagine if that goal touched the Hull player on the line

Would have summed up how bad a game it was. Mind you SKY are hyping it up.

But let's face it, a team consisting of John Egan, Ollie McBurnie, Paddy McNair, Lewie Coyle etc. isn't going to cause much disruption in the EPL. And with the rumoured financial issues and increasing debt, you can't see them spending enough to give them a chance without breaking PSR.

They were 2 truly god awful sides so whoever won was getting wooden spoon next year.

Hull could do what we did, but they haven’t a pot to piss in so if I was a Derby fan I’d be thinking we might lose that unwanted record.

we had to get past two pretty decent teams last year which made for some tight but exciting games...i never expected a 'goal-mouth frenzy' today but thought two teams looking at a 200 million 'bonus' would show a bit more fight.

Boro were missing Conway tbf. Their other striker options are poor for a promotion chasing side and that’s cost them.

You’d think Boro would have been a bit braver and just gone for it. The massive prize instead made them more cautious.

Totally agree, it was a much more competitive league last year and some tight, evenly matched, exciting games. Even Bristol City were well in their game against Sheffield United until they had a man sent off. This year you've had 4 poor teams (I know Southampton has that long unbeaten run, but with spygate you now have questions about how good they actually are) producing 5 poor quality games. None of the teams seem to have much about them, Hull have actually won because of 2 pieces of poor goalkeeping in 2 matches (Patterson for Millwall and Boro's keeper today). It just seemed that Boro were toothless and scared while Hull just wanted to sit back and hit them on the break. I bet if Boro had scored first Hull wouldn't have been able to respond.

yup, hull will have to spend 'big' to stay up, coventry might stick to thier guns beacause of 'what sunderland did' and i think ipswich have the best starting point...the rest depends on what spending power they have, can't see any of them having a big sale, might raise a few million selling back to the championship but they don't have a bellingham or watson.
