We may well get beaten by Boro...

While this is a right old, "P*ss on the parade" statement, we really DO want to beat Boro - if we're going to slip up, let it be against Chelsea or Man Utd, eh?

I'm pretty sure we'll win.

Totally agree, Dougal. Though, I do admit to feeling more nervous about Boro. We've won 3 matches in a row, 2 against teams we weren't expecting to beat. We're due for a loss, and my gut feeling is when it comes it's going to be ugly. I'm hoping it won't be in our next 3 matches, but if it is then let it be at OT where it's at least expected. Then again, I could probably stomach losses against Boro or Chelsea if we got another famous away win at OT. ;-)

O ye of little faith - I've come to NOT trust my gut instincts as a rule. I'm hardly ever right and when I am it doesn't make me feel any better!

I have a feeling that we'll get beaten by 'Boro too.

Leeds and Arsenal both massively underestimated our attacking prescence and Boro will defend - mainly because they have trouble scoring.

Keep Boksic out of the game and we have done half the job. Get an early goal and the score could be huge, but I have a feeling it could be 1-0 to 'Boro via a dodgy penalty decision, probably with O'Brien getting a red card or something like that.
