Seems Boro have been doing pretty well against us in the Premiership. After the 4-1 battering away this season, and with dropping points against Chelsea, we need a big win tonight to secure 2nd and give us the confidence boost we need.
Will be interesting to see Saha and Ruud starting together up front. Stick Rossi on the bench and bring him on with decent time to go I reckon.

Park is working hard though. Bring on Ronaldo!

Red Yank Eric Cantona What? Was I supposed to kick it??

We definitely need to win today.

Ah well. Ruud needs to pick himself up a bit otherwise this could be a nil-nil.
