did I dream that they got to a European final a few years ago? What the hell as went wrong there - has Gibson ran out of money?

if they don't go up next season they are stuck........

Pretty much. To be fair, he shouldered a lot of debt himself.

But current events prove they were living beyond their means, as with a host of other clubs

Abit like Fulham punching well above their weight.

mcclaren was a good manager to them. won the carling cup and got the uefa cup final (through any means necesary mind, i remember a few dodgy formations near the end like 424 etc

).

i think they should've stuck with southgate but c'est la vie. they've got a good chairman tbh (who may be in debt) but their crowds treat them like shit

Was a class run, I remember Massimo Maccarone coming off the bench in the last minute to save them in what seemed like every game.

Was class to watch.

Semi final

Hate that music and the pathetic arm celebration they use to all do after scoring a goal. No passion at all just dance to a horrible song. Backwards.

The commentators voice, class.

One of the best games I've seen for entertainment, I was fully behind Boro in that, always will support English teams in Europe, bar the mags and Liverpool.

Crap cup with idiot supporters. Glad they're where they are.

Unfortunately for them when the billionaires came into the Prem, Gibson couldn't keep up and no one wanted to buy them.
