Wear-Tees Derby

In the real NE derby, we all know we've done the mags six in a row and been done by them 5 in a row a couple of times.

However, I have no idea what the record is with Boro. I think they might well have done us 6/7 in a row ?? What about us Vs them, anyone any idea ??)

The one victory that springs to mind was when Williams scored. After that I’m struggling to think of one. That’s not to say there isn’t.

Boro's most recent 6 match record against Sunderland is WWWWWD. Only a last-gasp 97th-minute injury-time goal by Sunderland prevented that record being 6 wins out of 6 for Boro.

Not that having such an impressive record against local rivals is anything to brag about ... unless you are a Sunderland supporter of course! ;)

Interestingly I had the opposite opinion. We don’t have 26 pages debating whether Stoke is a derby, because it isn’t. The fact this one has taken up 26 pages worth of conversation might indicate that there is more to this game than others

Middlesbrough generally get very little mention on here. When they won the LC and got to a UEFA Cup final, we barely batted an eyelid. If that was the Mags, we’d comment and whinge ad naueseum. People don’t give a shite about Middlesbrough man.

Again, did you ever go to Ayresome Park?

Just the Riverside (twice). But if your criteria is “was there bother at the match?”, we must have played a derby most weeks in the 70s and 80s.

Surely 26 pages suggests otherwise? Don’t think that’s true either. There’s a thread about Reading’s goal today being offside, the general reaction is that nobody minds if the call is wrong because Middlesbrough suffered from it

There is a thread on each of Arsenal and Steve Gerrard as well. Are they derbies for us?

No, the criteria I am using is that there was more of an edge v Boro than any other club bar the Mags when I started going in the mid 80s.
"Boro beware keep out" was painted on the wall of the Fulwell End I always remember.

Last time we played down there, still a load of edge and bother.

Its nothing like playing Norwich
