Middlesborough's amazing comeback (yet again) in UEFA cup
-
McClaren and his men has yet again demonstrated their will and determination to come back from a 3-0 agregate deficit for the 2nd straight uefa cup tie to qualify for the UEFA cup final! This time the victims were Steaue Bucharest, who found themselves coasting with a 2-0 lead on the night at Riverside, and 3-0 up on aggregate with the advantage of 2 away goals. However they still find themselves on the wrong end of a 4-2 scoreline, courtesy of a 88th min winner from Massimo Macarrone.
Boro is without doubt the comeback kings of Europe this season! I watched the game and frankly, its quite breath taking, although the defence on both sides are horrendus
After watching 2 quality goalless draws in the last 2 european nights, this kind of game is what football fans is waiting for and paying to watch. -
Who knows, we might have a chance to see an all EPL UEFA Super Cup final if both Arsenal and Middlesbrough win their finals.
-
mayb boro can start a the game by scoring 2 own goals in every match from now on.. then they will only perform better n score more goals... hahaha

Spanish opposition seems to be the bane of english clubs.
This season, Villarreal have seen off both Everton and Man Utd.
Barca have put one over Chelsea.
In previous years, Deportivo La Coruna have tormented Man Utd while Arsenal have not played well against Spanish sides.
And now, at the finals of the two prestigious cup tournaments, the La Liga teams again bar their way to glory...

So tyco keep coming back like that..
sure is destiny to win cup le ba..
btw Downing assisted in 3 out of the 4 goals.. give him a chance for England? -
Great fightback by Boro
If it were not for Steaua's keeper, they would hav been thrashed
Hope they go on to win the Uefa cup.
Mclaren and boro deserve another major trophy -

Esp the final. Uefa cup finals often produce more goals than CL finals -
no more chance of a comeback this time.

reflects badly on the epl...Originally posted by S_T_F_U:boro ah. lost 4-0. damn it. darn that scoreline really damnit. =(
even with a full strength team....
maybe he should have used the team against fulham -
Many people forget that Sevilla are 5th in the Spanish league, while Boro are languishing in the bottom half of the table.
So the result was not surprising at all. The scoreline was..but not the result. -
McClaren too happy about the England's job?
-
At the end of the day determination, hardwork and passion not enough.
