AND
Middlesbrough blow hot and cold, it’s because they are from the north ish. There will be a full Friday round up and more tears from the clown to come.
Middlesbrough have a manager called Neil Warnock, Neil lives in Cornwall, which is not too far away from Middlesbrough. Neil has lived in Cornwall since before now, he recently lived there a lot due to the fact there wasn’t any football. But then, he didn’t have much football to do either, he was like a boat without a rudder, a car without a wheel, a biscuit without the chocolate. In fact he was like a man without a penis. Neil has a big penis, he waves it about a lot. On Thursdays he waves it about and on Saturday mornings. He calls his penis ‘ My elastic lasso’ Neil flys his own plane from Cornwall to Middlesbrough for training sessions, be bought it off John Travolta on a summer night. Bruce Dickinson taught him to fly last year in the lockdown. Apart from that Neil is pretty normal, although most of the time he isn’t. We like Neil. Be like Neil.
This is Neil’s favourite lasso penis swinger
Middlesbrough used to pass the ball to each other, now they don’t. Here is a brief history of the club. Neil Warnock has just signed a penis extension, we would like to congratulate him for that. In 1801, Middlesbrough was a small farm with a population of just 25; during the latter half of the 19th century, it experienced rapid growth. Like Neil’s penis. A Welsh community was established in Middlesbrough sometime before the 1840s, with mining being the main form of employment. Wales loves a mine. This Welsh population grew rapidly after 1841 when John Vaughan established the first ironworks on Teesside (The Vulcan Works) at Middlesbrough. Vaughan had worked his way up through the industry at the Dowlais Ironworks in south Wales and encouraged hundreds of the skilled Welsh workers to follow him to Teesside. These migrants ( migrants ? ) included three figures who would became important leaders in the commercial, political and cultural life of the town: If Middlesbrough had not done this they would still only have twenty five people living there.

Past games
Middlesbrough somehow won the last encounter at their place 2-1. It was in December. A memorable game was an FA Cup replay on the 17th January 1995, Swansea won 2-1 at then Ayresome Park. Oddly enough Linkin Park played Newcastle that night, but it wasn’t a game of football. The first game was in 1925 Swansea won 4-0 in a division two game. In 1926 Boro beat Swansea 7-1 which tells you there’s been a few goals about in this fixture, a cursory glance reveals more than twice the average goals have been scored for this amount of games. When the swans were going for promotion to the premier league in 2011 they won 3-4 at Middlesbrough and Craig Beattie scored, he ran and ran and ran when he scored, and was never seen again. Then manager Paulo Sousa said ‘ Ive never seen him run before, and anyway I don’t sign players’
The last picture ever taken of Craig Beattie running. He had never run anywhere before. Even Mark from ‘the’ Gower couldn’t catch him

 Neil Warnock’s view on coming back to South Wales 6th Mar 2021 11:51He’s not the most popular manager to bring a team to the Liberty this season, well, until ‘that fixture’ returns in a few weeks. Today Neil Warnock brings a resurgent Middlesbrough side to Swansea looking to attack, get as much out of the game as possible, and as we all know - by any means necessary.  0

And here it was
 Swansea sneak it again in a replay of Wednesday night : Warnock’s tactics backfire 6th Mar 2021 19:17Just how this game ended in a swans win is totally beyond any comprehension as referee Gavin Ward awarded a last minute injury time penalty to Swansea in a replay of Wednesday nights win at Stoke. Neil Warnock shouting and running around like a spoilt man child at the end was the icing on the cake as Cooper’s side won a game they were possibly lucky at one time to earn a point from. However, it’s persistence, even when the team is as poor as it was again today which seems to be the winning formula. 2

That was unbelievable, we struggled all through that 2nd half, Borough deserved to equalise, unbelievable to have won that right at end and again from a penalty. [Post edited 6 Mar 2021 17:06]

Even with 6 in midfield we had no one in midfield. |  |

This season is absolutely crazy I can’t get my head around it.
We are absolutely woeful again, but we have somehow sh*thoused another three points but surely we can’t keep this going playing like this? |
Similar to my thoughts RJ - let’s see how the next 3 matches (all away) plus the derby go before we break out the champers! | | | |

Warnock saying about Coopers father being a ref perhaps he can give us a few connections.
Surely he will get fined for that. | |

Disgusting interview. He suggested that the Swans and the EFL referees are conspiring to cheat.
That will be an expensive interview but he can afford it. |  |

Even though we were poor, it was great to see a wing back attacking their penalty area in the 95th minute - similar to Stoke on Wednesday with one of our back 3 doing exactly the same thing!! |  |

So we're allowed to sing their praises when we are good but not say anything when we are poor?
I'm as happy with the 3 points as anyone but we cannot keep playing like this and expect to be up there at the end of the season. We got out of jail today. |
It is what is, the league table never lies.
Never be embarrassed by a win no matter how we get it.

It's as I say 'we have to be honest with ourselves.
We have ground out results and are lousy to watch.
We have had considerable luck.
We are playing virtually without a goalkeeper.
Incredible really.
3 points -yes,but ,as with Stoke,let's not kids ourselves.

Nobody on here seems to comment on the appalling quality of our passing. I doubt we strung 3 passes together second half. And at times - too many times - there’s no attempt to bring the ball down, control it and pass it on. We just degenerate into a game of head tennis. I thought it was me being too fussy. But I went on SCFC2 and found quite a few people sharing my concerns. Here’s one of them - a chap called Bob:
“ Great result but very poor performance.
Along the way we have lost the abilityto bring the ball down and pass to somebody in white. Just constant headers forwards and 50 yard balls to 2 small strikers.
Control the ball FFS.”
Couldn’t agree more sir! |  | | |

It’s a results business. We were absolutely spoiled last time under Rodgers but getting up playing like that is a rarity and the facts are we finished third then behind two functional teams and we’ve got more points this time than at the same stage. |  |

Fair comment Sir.
I have said before I ant to get our glorious club back to Anfield,Etihad,Goodison (and the new stadium ) and cold rafford d even filthy Stamford Bridge .
It' alll about getting back then hoping the owners front up.
If we go up, we will,all things being equal be having a serious do here,as we did when we went up last time. We got complaints from people in the Close too. Possibly as we had 5 guitars going and the best of Leonard Cohen a speciality.

Completely off topic. Because they were awful today.
You saying Strawberry Fields Forever was your favourite Beatles song helped me forget some of the things you've said in other threads. Now you say you had five guitars going last PL promotion.
So you play ? What have you got ? | | | |

I think out goal keeper saved both the shots today as well a catching the ball numerous times. The only one that went past him was the big deflection of Fulton. Mind you our midfield should have been making the Middlesbrough player not letting him have a free shot. | |
