    Is that the people that have offered to help with the MDT if you're unable to manage DD?
    That's not very kind now is it? <laugh> <laugh> <laugh>

    IMHO Ayala should have had three yellow cards and a straight red.

    Watching Motd2 and I’ve got to say on this occasion Colin has some justification

    Clear penalty not given, clear offside for Chelsea’s first, clear last man tackle given only a yellow (by the player who should have been carded for the penalty...)

    Same old same old with the “big” teams which we will have to stomach next year assuming we go up

    Agreed!!!

    Edit - Not to be outdone by the Archant reporter’s review of the Sunday papaers, here is a selection of what the Sundays said about Boro -

    Onel Hernandez’s lethal second-half strike pushed Norwich a step closer to a dream Premier League return. His effort gave Daniel Farke’s Championship leaders a second successive win on Teesside. And it opened up a 23-point gap on Boro, who slipped out of the top six for the first time in 235 days.
    An evening billed as a celebration of Middlesbrough’s once powerful international influence was hijacked by a Cuban winger and a Finnish forward who have made Norwich their home.
    Daniel Farke’s side maintained their serene progress towards the title,
    at the same time casting further doubt on Middlesbrough’s readiness to accompany them into the Premier League via the play-offs. The Canaries were far from their fluent best, but that makes this win all the more notable, as they proved too big an obstacle for the hosts to surmount.
    Onel Hernandez’s second-half goal condemned Boro to a fourth consecutive defeat and heaped further misery on manager Tony Pulis. Boro slipped to eighth and look way off a side who can mount a serious promotion challenge. A place in the play-offs is now looking highly doubtful as a diet of dour play takes its toll.

    In the absence of a MDT, I'll tack this on the end of the Boro one <ok>
