it makes me laugh seeing armchair supporters getting upset over footballl. crying over a team they have no real emotional attachment to, a team theyve probably only ever seen play on tv.
they dont know what its like to be sitting in a stadium on the edge of the river tees, freezing your tits off watching a team that has lifted just one trophy in over 130 years. from having your first match in 1997 against huddersfield town, to watching juninho miss a penalty at old trafford, karembeu scoring a blinding equaliser at bradford city to secure safety, stewart downing missing a penalty infront of 3,500 boro fans at the stadium of light. relegations, promotions, european cup finals and more relegations. queuing for tickets in the freezing cold for cup final after cup final, always believing with your whole heart that this was going to be our time. failing to get tickets and settling for watching on tv, only for their to be a power cut in your street at kick off and then conceding a goal after just 45 seconds.
dont tell me youre heartbroken because man utd havent won the title when you live 100s of miles away from old trafford and have no ties to them whatsoever except your mutv subscription and the fact you follow wayne rooney on twitter.
23 years of supporting the mighty boro, and i wouldnt change a thing.
