Downsouth 6,326 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The Eternal Match Like many other Saturday's since and before The hopes of many come together wanting to see their team score "United we stand and divided we fall" They did not realise this before the first kick of the ball "It's only a game" and so it went ahead No-one really realising just how many were dead The tradgedy soon unfolded right before our eyes And the realisation that so many had said their final "goodbyes" "Forever in our hearts" are the events of that day "We all stand together" many other fans were heard to say Is there more to life than this we should ask in a humble tone Liverpool............"you will never walk alone" Words and thoughts Alan Thomas Middlesbrough FC fan Ok match details as follows Saturday 12th April 2014 Kick off 3.07pm Turf Moor Burnley. Without doubt THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE SEASON SO FAR...............if you are a Burnley fan:) Yes Derby have to fail to win but beat The Boro and Burnley are promoted to the PL since goodness knows when??? Will they be rubbing their hand in delight knowing that we could very well have a defence that could be very light weight in terms of players caused by red cards and injuries? Burnley have done remarkably well this season and have been real steady eddies all term and I can not begrudge them promotion because they do deserve it and I feel sure that the autospot is theirs for the taking. But I am selfish in all things Boro and I would love to see us being party poopers for at least another game and to be honest I want us to continue our recent winning form as long as possible as I have happier weekends when we win. Ok my current sequence of doing match day threads will come to an end at some point and the last time it did was the Bolton away game when they got their late equaliser after we had been 2 up so I am expecting the same to be honest. We will be no push over for Burnley and I am sure SD knows that if they are to achieve win they will have to work for it. So usual talking points. Just who will be in defence? Can we be spoilsports? Will I get to do 5 games on the trot (not achieved at all this season) Will this be a well posted thread?:D "I thank you" Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,320 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Congrats to DS on getting to do 4 match threads on the bounce...would be nice if he could carry on to the end of the season. Great Hillsborough tribute too! Would give you another +1 for that, but you've already got so many... ;) However, if you're a stat fan, the omens aren't good. Quite apart from Burnley's excellent form this season, historically they usually beat Boro at home. The hosts have lost just 4 times all season and once in their last 10 games. They also have a very healthy goal difference. I fear with a weakened defence, Boro's good run will come to an abrupt halt this weekend. My Prediction: Burnley 2 - 0 Middlesbrough Link to post Share on other sites

Brunners 7,982 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Maybe because he's already been suspended once this year? Otherwise I'm not sure. Link to post Share on other sites

boro-unger 3,870 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Beautiful DS! :) I reckon this could be closer than people might think. We're right up there with the form teams. Although granted, not doing quite as well as Burnley... I'll go for a 1-1 draw with us going 1 up and Burnley equalising in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites
