The Middlesbrough 2026 Appreciation Thread

[St Chalet]

Thought I'd be the first....

Well played xx

[AlexLaw76]

They are a blooming good side, and defended really well for the most part today. The tie should have been done and dusted for them by HT on sat.

Their fans however, fucking batshit mental. I thought scousers were bad, but this lot are in a different universe.

[Midfield_General]

Best keep your fitness up lads, I’m sure you’ll definitely definitely still be in the final 

Maybe get Gibbo to order the open top bus too?

Really impressed with Aiden Morris 

[Mr Saints]

Cheers lads. Haven’t enjoyed an evening as much as this for a long time, thanks to your bitter desperation. Enjoy the trip back home!

[Gloucester Saint]

They get to live in Middlesbrough as well.

 

[benjii]

WE SHALL BE

bottling top two then bottling play offs whilst embarrassing ourselves.

[benjii]

They should get home by about 05:00.

[Patrick Bateman]

I still like Fry a lot as a centre back, properly old school but good with it. 

[Colinjb]

Will save a heap on my mortgage over the next few years. Can live rent free in their heads.

[Patrick Bateman]

Plus both fans can agree the ref was shit

A prem ref without Var   what did u expect 

[Turkish]

Very good side, some really good players. The whole spy thing is completely ridiculous, blown out of all proportion and has overshadowed what were two very exciting games of football between two good teams at this level. Good luck to them next season 

[RedArmy]

5th in a 2 horse race. 
 

What a season lads. 
 

 

[Saint NL]

I've enjoyed this mini rivalry.

I'll forget it next season when we're a premier league team.

Let's reignite it in a couple of years

👏👏

Thought they were excellent but our superior squad depth (not patronising just fact) told in the end.

I hope they make it back alright, they've got training in the morning

[S-Clarke]

Ignoring all the spy gate and fan nonsense and just talking about football, I thought they're a really well coached side. They made it really hard for us to get any space, or make any real dangerous openings. When they had their moments, they used the ball really well too and are a pretty tidy footballing side.

Their finishing is what's cost them over the season though, they've just not been clinical enough. They blew their chance in the first half at their place, and it was the story of the season.

Their fans have acted a bit weird, but I think from a footballing point of view they gave us as good a game we've had in a long time - and they'll probably do well next season if they add a couple of centre forwards.

I was at the riverside on Saturday, sat 2 seats from the netting with them. Getting abused for 90 minutes and twice witnessed them throwing stuff at our fans, once not far from hitting a child.

After tonight all I can say it have that you fucking weird goblin like bunch of northern cunts. Fuck you and your dirty little ground in a shit hole city. Your whinging and whining over “spygate” has been an a utter embarrassment, and you’ve surpassed Scousers in the hard done by stakes.

I hope that late goal hurt, and if we go up I hope we sign another of your players just to annoy you.

Aside from that have a good summer ya’ll.

Their local BBC radio podcast

the presenter, 'Dana' referred to Southampton as a “rotten football club with horrible players and horrible fans” and described Southampton player Taylor Harwood-Bellis as “scum” and “a piece of scum”.

See fans still expecting us to be thrown out and add to that a 5 game ban for THB

Should report them to Ofcom. Not very impartial from the beeb is it.

Weirdest fan base of all time. 
 

Hope we go up and sign a few more of their players. 

[Saint_clark]

Whether we go up or stay down we should make Dael Fry a top target. What an excellent centreback he is.

Nailed it. Never really had an opinion on boro but their fans for a week or so have been embarrassing. Soft, fragile, deluded wet wipes. They think the ref cost them😂. Probably try saying we paid him off even though we could have had 3 pens, the last one on larin being as blatant as you can get

[SNSUN]

All i hear from them is "bush this, bush that..."

If they want to see an impressive bush I'll just pull my pants down.

Rent free in their hedge, surely?

(thanks BBC HYS for that)
