Boro thread

I'm under no illusions about Boro - I've been going to matches for over 50 years so I know only too well what we're like.
All I've said (and still say) is that finishing above us for the first time in 8 years and managing one (deserved admittedly) promotion to the premier league seems to me a tad premature to be 'lording it' about how you're so much better than us.
Especially when our performances over that 50 year period has been similar (both had ups and downs), and you haven't even kicked off in the premier league yet.

Easy to accuse me of 'snide' remarks - more to do with the fact that I notice a lot of your supporters go on exactly what your support slag Newcastle fans off for.

But that's part of being a football fan. Right now we are better than you we may not be after next season but what's the point if you can't take the piss out of your local rivals when you get the chance? If we swap places next season I'd expect you to do the same.

Go on then, explain how Sunderland would be a better team than boro even if they ‘were leagues below them’.

Thats clearly not possible is it?

But go on, lets hear it……

We are miles ahead of Boro now. We are at worse a parachute money club, likely to yo yo between the divisions joining the likes of Leeds, Burnley, Sheffield United, Leicester etc. (Obviously there is the odd anomaly like Luton).

Boro are not in that bracket, won't have our quality of player and won't have the money we have to spend due to PSR.

We have made a massive leap ahead. Boro are still on the starting blocks.

But, didn't you get parachute money the last time you dropped from the premier league, like the anomaly that was/is Luton?

Or by 'yo yo' do you mean between the 2nd and 3rd tier?

I understand the excitement about promotion and stuff, but do you not think you're getting ahead of yourselves a bit?

this time id expect our parachute payments will be invested into the club, unlike last time. and we will get about well over 200 million this campaign and we are a massive massive club.

but i kinda see your point, we or any club shouldnt get excited about promotion.

Football success tends to come in cycles for teams like Sunderland and Boro. Sometimes you are up and sometimes you are on the way down. Sometimes you are stuck in the middle ( where we are now).

Sunderland are clearly on an up at the minute. If you manage to stay in the PL next season, that would top this years achievement. But in reality that will be really, really difficult.
As some of the more fair minded posters have pointed out, maybe you shouldn’t sneer too much at other teams as, if it doesn’t work out, it likely you will be getting it throw back you.

So, you meant bigger but actually used the word better?
Could I politely suggest a dictionary could be of use for you?

we got the big bucks though now. of course it will be hard to stay up, who is saying otherwise, but who cares about a boro fan, posting for days on here clutching at straws trying to tell us we could easily get relegated.
get a grip man. shall i post for days on your forum telling you how much harder it will be next year to reach the playoffs?
