I think he has timed this. Strachan is under big pressure and the celtic fans are on Riordans side. I can understand his frustration. I dont agree with public slatings either unless they have been behind closed doors for a long time and nothing gets resolved, which in Riordans situation HAS to be the case. I can imagine Gow and Buffel thinking the same about WS.

Boro are a decent team when they play the better teams, i think its their style of play. If they played like that every week they would be a top 8 side. Arsenal must be spewing again, they would have been back in it with just 1 more win out of there terrible run in the last 7 games. But and big but, if they win at Old Trafford they will have a half chance. But Chelsea have to be thinking they can seriously win it now. The only problem is goal difference essentially giving Man U another point as they are way ahead. Chelsea have to go to Everton when Man Utd go to Blackburn so that will be an interesting weekend.

Im annoyed. I was going to put a double on the coupon with 2 draws - Boro v Man Utd and Dundee Utd v Gers - typical!!

The draw puts Chelsea right in the title hunt.

Mike Riley is a disgrace. Boro get ruled for offside (never) then he gives man u a free kick in the midfield which was never a foul and Man Utd get a goal out if it.

And Alves does it again 2-1 to Boro

1-1 Alves Go on the Boro

Both Gio and Mols start today for them

1-0 to Man Utd already - Ronaldo yet again. 37 for the season now. Unstopable.

Aye he was close to getting the whip, although it would have been Jon doing the whipping

Nice wee booster for him

It would appear that way but if Middlesboro get something today then Chelsea are right in it.

I fancied Motherwell to get a draw but a 1-0 is magic! It takes a wee bit of pressure of us on Sunday now which can only be a good thing.

Aye ok Mr Craig! I'll do a detention now

Fuckin is too!!! Simon Lappin 33 mins

Im actually hoping for Cardiff, i think they would give pompey a better game. Although I hope the winner of this tie wins the cup. I Still think if Cardiff can play in this comp then the OF can.

Fud! And where was your preview :uzi: Sacked for sure this time!!! :uzi:

Has Boab scored????

Pompey in the final!! Id have rather seen an all Championship final but fair play to Portsmouth - they won at Old Trafford. Huge favourites for the cup which is credit to 'Arry now but Cardiff may have something to say....or even Barnsley!!!

1-0 Chelsea at Man City already - Go on the Chelski!!! Im just hoping for a good finish to the league. Imagine how good the fixture between Chelsea and Man Utd will be in a few weeks if there is nothing between them.

1-1 again with Liverpool. As usual they have all the possestion but cant take chances. its becoming far too much of a trend now for Arsenal am Im beginning to doubt Wenger. I looked at him on the sidelines today (the camera had him on a lot) and he was a picture of desperation. It seems his stubborness to not sign players and stick with youth has cost him again. Thats 1 win in 7 games - absolute relegation form never mind title form. If he had a bit more to offer then they would have won the league this season. No doubt the Eduardo incident took a lot out them, but where everyone was saying Henry wasnt a miss at the start of the season he has certainly been a miss in the last 6 weeks. Its all down to Chelsea to give Man Utd a challenge. They have to win at Man City now.

Hopefully

Enjoy yourselfs lads.

I think we are entitled to ask for a better product from August to January but from February onwards when we are fighting on all fronts its all about winning games as its getting us closer to victory. There is no comparsing between now and PLG / Eck era. I bet the Green end would also love to be in our position. There are always going to be Boo-boys on some aspects but its crazy when we are in a great position just now. Im just a little disappointed with the extra cautious play, I think we could add a wee bit more attack wise.

I pressed the info button on my TV guide for the game tomorrow and it mentions DeMarcus Beasley being close to a return.
