Relieved, like a knot has been untied in my chest. I'm quite confident we'll have enough in the tank the stay up. I'm down to a 4, that might sound too optimistic for some, but fuck me, I'm so delighted.

Now the media are thoroughly convinced he's our best player on the back of those 45 mins.

Alves dead.

Shaking like a fucking French soldier...

Whats Boro's line-up?

Just need 2 more posts...

I am beginning to think I hate Kevin Nolan.

You mean the part before you open the presents in excitement and anticipation? Sadly the end product was usually an anti-climax for me.

A couple of them want us to stay up "cos we'll miss the derby". Mackem scum, after all that's happened with us this season compared with their 'perfect' chairman and all their financial backing and we could STILL finish above them. Would be a sweet moment if we end up relegating them.

Nolan 0 Butt 0 Guthrie 2 (1pen) Barton 1 (1pen) Duff 2 Jonas 0 Smith 0 Geremi 0 Pretty sure Duff has 3. He might well have, I just did it off the top of my head. Ones I remember are Spurs (h) and Everton (a). Oh right. He got one away against WBA too.

On paper Boro aren't a bad side. If you asked me at the start of the season if a team containing Huth, Tuncay, Aliadiere, Alves, Downing, Wheater and Hoyte were going to be relegated, I'd have disagreed. Just goes to show what a shit job Southgate has done.

Every Mackem I know says Malbranque looked a quality buy before Christmas, had by far the most assists in the league, but suddenly stopped playing and has been shit for several months.

If Boro even get a draw I fancy them more to beat Villa than us to beat Fulham. Usually I'm optimistic leading up to matchday and it all comes crumbling down when we play, I could almost plot it on a graph. I'm not feeling sick today, actually strangely calm. Think I'm on the 'acceptance' stage of grief. I'm getting my head around the fact we'll most likely be playing in the Championship and just awaiting the inevitable basically. I'll probably get my hopes up again come kick-off, knowing my bipolar football side.

If WBA had signed Fortune last summer and played 4-5-1 all season they would be safe by now IMO.

If we only draw I've more confidence in Boro beating Villa than us beating Fulham.

Who's RTE? If only there was some sort of internet search engine for this sort of query... A television station in Ireland.

thats even worse than the one we came up with.... those are pretty decent players really, wouldnt mind having them on the field like Harper Collins, Bassong, Coloccini, Enrique Jonas, Downing, Richardson, Malbranque Jones, Tuncay Dont say thats a bad team? Andy Reid would be a canny player if he wasn't so fat. If only he could pass a chip shop as well as a ball...

West Brom are creeping up the blindside. In the unlikely event they beat Liverpool they're in line for one of the greatest escapes yet.

Very Drogba-esque behaviour. Mind they even look alike anarl.

They might have a chance if Bolton play like they did against the Mackems.

Butt is absolutely woeful, pissed me off no end when Kinnear said a while back "for me he's brilliant" and what pisses me off even more is that the fucking media think he's our best player and we love him.

Dear God, I'm feeling even more sick about today than Portsmouth - a Hull & Sunderland win and it's literally curtains.
