This is a MUST NOT LOSE match and hopefully one we can win. The early kick off (for the already exhausting amount of televised football) will not help the attendance and it's an awful long way for the Boro' fans to travel for a lunch time encounter.

The youngsters last night v Saints showed how to play attacking football and this may influence some of the seniors to be more adventurous. No better time for Ramsey and co to show what they can do, Middlesbrough are no great shakes and three points is definitely within our grasp.

Absolutely a must not lose game

The season starts now

A defeat after a good point at Swansea and we are back to the pits of death

A Greg Farrell performance from one of our wingers would what is needed.

Greg Farrell was just before my time as a City supporter, so I'll raise you a Peter King, or even a Willie Anderson!

Farrell destroyed Boro that night, a hat trick in a 5-3 win. Amazing performance. Pity he went on to an ignominious career after leaving City.

Good choices but I’m afraid you can’t raise anyone above Greg Farrell’s performance that night.

The hat trick was Dickie Rooks the Middlesbrough centre half

It can't possibly be any worse than the Dave Jones promotion chasing side that were beaten in about 20 minutes can it?

Wikipedia says "Playing as a winger, he often showed flashes of brilliance, including scoring one and supplying four other goals during a 5–3 win over Middlesbrough in May 1966. "

Really looking forward to this one! Not because I think we'll play well but because it's helped me get out of seeing my in-laws

0-2 Boro

Must be my age, I was there that night and Farrell had a brilliant performance and thought he did get 3.
