All started a few years ago when we were basically the only close match up they had one season. They caused trouble at our place and smashed the windows on one of our supporters coaches at theirs. Since then it not been a nice game to go to. Good riddance to them.

Guess it's because they played Man U Thursday for TV, so they've been giving extra time to recover.

BARNES OUT
Pretty much every Boro player should have been sent off for their histerics there. Referees in the Premier League are a joke.

Unbelievable goal by Pedro.

Norwood's on Fire
Forgot about that, which I'm sure most people wish they did

This is garbage today. Needs Arsenal to beat Spurs 6-0 to retrieve some credibility.

BARNES OUT
Hope Arsenal lose 27-0 today. Kane with 24 of them.

Love a duffer "let's do this thang" .Always gives me cause for optimism.
Don't love that what usually tends to follow a duffer "let's do this thang" is something horrible.
My predictions:
- possible Xhaka red card.
- Arsenal to either concede early or after about 30 minutes having been overran and bombarded for most of that time.
- Gibbs to be subbed off for Welbeck with about 30 minutes left as a desperate attempt to claw a way back into the game.
- A heroic failed comeback.

I've probably told the story before, but the only time I've ever really thought I might get a kicking at a football game was in Stoke.
Mate of mine got a job up there after uni, so a few of us went up for a weekend on the lash. There being the square root of Fanny Adams to do in the Potteries on a Saturday arvo, we decided to go to watch Stoke v QPR at the old Victoria ground.
With a bit of time to kill before kick off we decided to get a bevy. Unfortunately the pub we decided on was the Stoke City home venue. As soon as I opened my mouth to order the whole place goes silent for what seemed like ages until one inbred pipes up with,
"The ****s are in our pub."
I assume my generic vaguely southern accent sounding a lot like Shepherd's Bush to the average Stoke personage. Cue a speedy downing of pints and a hurried exit. I've no issues with QPR, but my indifference doesn't extend to getting the crap smacked out of me defending their fans' honour.
One hopes those Stoke fans still dine out on the story of the day the pride of the R's **** it when faced with the reek of Pottery manhood.
Game was a dour 0-0 draw and I spent most of it being gobbed on, the away enclose being handily placed beneath a home stand. Good times.

There was also a police cell on site just behind the away terraces.
