Smoggy Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Bournemouth have never been in the top flight. Will be a massive achievement if they do but amazingly the likes of Wimbledon, Oxford, Luton, Carlisle and Oldham have also been there since I followed the game !! Blimey, you are older than I thought lol Carlisle was back in the early 70's I think lol Before my time. Remember Oldham, Luton and Oxford being around the top flight though, also Swindon and Barnsley spent a very short and unsuccessful time in the top flight. Bournemouth look like they will get their shot the Prem, but I believe all clubs end up back where they started, even if it takes a number of years.

Great Boro side the 73/74 one, Jackie Charlton's promotion winning team that ran away with the Championship, a certain Grahame Souness in the Boro team. Wasn't around of course, but would have loved to have seen that side play! Probably one of the greatest teams put together outside of the top division, won it with record points (2pts for a win in those days I think). Bournemouth have never been in the top flight.

MartinTyler Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 It was a very good 'Boro team that season although they copped a 5-1 thrashing from Forest that day who also beat Man City 4-1 in the FA Cup around the same time so were on a bit of a roll !! Prydzopolis 1
lloydy136 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 just when things seemed to be on the up at leeds.... cellino tells the coaches they can't pick the team's leading scorer because one more goal triggers an extension. coaches disagree and now the assistant is suspended/sacked and the manager redfearn (the man who is largely responsible for leeds keeping their heads above water both financially and on the park the last few years) is said to be 'considering his future' all of this while cellino is supposed to be suspended from running the club. Prydzopolis 1
DamnedUnited Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 So it was a Ram reversal when what we needed was a u turn especially at home especially with them a man down especially with them scoring the equalizer. Prydzopolis 1
Wanderer74 Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Very tight leading into the last few weeks. Very exciting for the neutral! Prydzopolis and Smoggy 2
Smoggy Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Well what a massive weekend of championship football in store, this is what lower division football is all about weekends like this. Middlesbrough have done ok to stay in contact with the leaders but two poor performances at Bournemouth and then at Watford really put us on the back foot and we lost control of our own destiny. We have secured a play off place but automatic promotion looks very unlikely as I just cannot see Bournemouth or Watford dropping any points, I think they will win all of their last three games. And so at I think around 4:45am tomorrow morning Norwich will play Middlesbrough, 4th v 3rd and whoever wins will at least go temporarily top of the table, and then pressure back on Bournemouth and Watford. Who ever looses tomorrow automatic promotion will most certainly be all over. I am resigned to the lottery of the play offs now really. Middlesbrough's history in the play offs is average, were promoted via the play offs to the top division in 1988 and relegated Chelsea in the process (those days 3rd top of division two as it was called then played 3rd bottom of division 1). Again took part in 1991 but lost the semi final game so didn't make the decider that year. Remember both seasons very well. 1988 was the famous battle of stamford bridge, mayhem that day, never seen hatred like that since at a football game and I hope I never do again, I was behind the goal with my old man and grandfather where they are chucking things at us lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2jc_bbKxSU Edited April 17, 2015 by WSWBoro lloydy136, DamnedUnited, Nnnnnathan12 and 3 others 6

Smoggy Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH **** YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THAT is what the Boro is all about, ******* gutsy and stand firm, Popa would have been proud of that backs to the wall performance........ bit like a WSW performance from season 1 and 2. Dug as deep as I have seen them all season Might still be the play offs but that was a great result. I think I kicked every ball in that second half. how am I not in a psycho ward supporting the Boro and WSW I go to the WSW game in high spirits today lol Come on WSW make it an even better weekend. Magnificently defiant says the commentator in his sum up about the Boro , two best words to sum up that performance, team, club and town......

Wanderer74 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Even if you guys have to play Norwich at Wembley, it is a good mental advantage to know you defended so well against them. Smoggy and Prydzopolis 2
Smoggy Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Even if you guys have to play Norwich at Wembley, it is a good mental advantage to know you defended so well against them. I don't know what is going to happen with the remaining games, I will be up watching Watford and Bournemouth tonight praying that one slips up, but the reality they might not as they are playing teams with not much left to play for. The play offs are a lottery and often what happens during the season goes out of the window. In 1988 we played Bradford city in they play off semi final and they totally destroyed us home and away during the normal season, we did them over in the play offs and knocked them out. But after a performance like that I can't think too much about what might or might not happen, I am just in awe of that defensive performance, one of the best I have seen in following the Boro for 30 odd years! lloydy136, Prydzopolis and Wanderer74 3
lloydy136 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 yeah playoffs are hard to predict - often the team that slips to 3rd can't pick themselves up for it. entertaining game there boro - but would have been VERY stressful to sit through if I had a team in it (always pleased to see norwich lose though) hope boro do go up in other news - 6 leeds players 'declare themselves unfit' for weekend games. rumour is that cellino unhappy that the 'foreign stars' he bought in at the start of the season aren't being played by redfearn so he has pulled the strings on this 'boycott'. fmd.

Someone with too much time on the Boro message board did a stat break down of how often teams go up via the play offs by finishing 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th in the championship. More teams that have finished 3rd have been promoted more than any other finishing position, however it is not a clear winner, 5th placed winners are not far behind, followed by 6th place. Interestingly it is teams that have finished 4th that have failed the most often to gain promotion to the prem, I was suprised by that stat. DamnedUnited and Prydzopolis 2

Smoggy Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Watching the 30 mins highlights of this morning, how many chances did Boro blow? A few lol, the real impressive play was at the other end, bodies being thrown at everything. From the Boro web forum - The team tonight i haven't seen defending like that since Roukes Drift. Wave after wave Boro repelled. Nnnnnathan12 and Prydzopolis 2
