Sheffield Wednesday v Boro
Boro travel to Sheffield Wednesday on the final day of the Championship season.
I begin my match day thread with the sad news of the passing of Middlesbrough Football Club’s 2012/13 season (which will henceforth be referred to as ‘season’):
Season, 1, of nPower Championship, England, passed away on the 4th May 2013 kicking and screaming in its sleep after losing it’s long battle with ‘beingshititis’, which season contracted during a stay at Derby (never a good idea...) in January 2013. It never stood a chance, and it didn't fight bravely.
Season was the beloved offspring of 2011/12 season and leaves behind 2013/14 season. However season will not be missed. No one liked it.
Funeral service to be held on the 5th May 2013. Arrangements are not being made by anyone, it’ll be a pretty directionless and haphazard kind of doo, as is befitting of ‘season’. Flowers are not welcome, nor are welsh people. Donations to be made to MFC’s transfer fund if so desired. Creamation will follow at noon on the 5th. What few mourners there are, are kindly requested to refrain from assaulting the horses carrying season’s coffin. However frustrated you were with it. We may be in mourning. But we are not Geordies. Remember that people!
RIP 2012/13 season.
Middlesbrough decided that it would probably be best to contain the embarrassment that the inevitable concession of a goal would cause, by executing a cunning plan to get it out of the way before most of the fans had even got into the stadium. Bloody good thinking lads! That’s how you keep fan morale levels up! Take note other teams. Now with that setback cleverly put to one side, Boro could go on to pummel Charlton mercilessly into submission… However this plan backfired in the 17th minute as it turned out Charlton’s lawyers had found a loophole in the rulebook, which allowed one of our players to score a goal for them. Now that’s just not cricket!
Boro came out in the second half after a rousing speech by tony Mowbray, in which he instructed the lads to get a draw. Marvin Emnes was presented with a wonderful opportunity when he was slipped in on goal by Scott McDonald. However Emnes’s spidey senses were tingling and he knew something was wrong… someone was in trouble! So he quickly and selflessly put his shot out of play to allow the player who was in trouble to get treatment. It was only at this point that Marv realised he doesn't actually have any spidey senses, and that he was just being a tit. But still, pretty bloody admirable wouldn’t you say?! Boro then went on to grab a couple of goals through Emnes and McDonald, to gain Middlesbrough a valuable point in their desperate hunt for mid table mediocrity. Nearly there lads!
