And fair play to them, well deserved, for a excellent season, would like Boro to be promoted. But an ideal world is sometimes unobtainable.
There comes a point where your hands have to go up and admit they are a cracking side this season and in reality, deserve to finish 4th. If they were anyone else , i'd say they are a pleasure to watch at the minute, but I refuse to say that straight out. The bunch of ****s Remember though, 4th doesn't get you into the Champions League, it gets you into the Champions League qualifying round, what it probably does do, is keeps all of the players they already hav at the club, and tempts the pie-snaffler to invest in a couple of defenders.
Ha, aye, there is that. As it stands, and obviously this is looking at the bad way it could fall, a qualifier could be against Lille, Schalke, Lazio (Udinese or Napoli could slot in here..), or the one i'd like to see, Malaga. Just as easily be a Bosnian also-ran like..
Yes , well done to them. Consistantly played well. I sort of hope they finish above London clubs , just to show people darn sarf there is life in the NE.
Jeez man don't be so bitter. Yeah even if we finish 6th and get a Europa League qualifier, there's a few really tough ties that could be pulled out the hat.
Unseeded mate, last couple of years there's been some really big ties. You do get the advantage of only having ONE round, whereas lesser nations play 2, even 3.
Well I watched them on MOTD last night and they play some good stuff so deserve to get 4th. And if Pardew dosnt get manager of the year thee is no justice.
Top man Smithy.. Yes they have done well, but we don't need it rammed down our throats, it's like a ****ing NUFC appreciation society around here sometimes.
