great to see Burnley back, hopefully Boro will join them. Oh and Hull in the playoffs.
The best thing about today was in the dressing room live on Sky Sports the Burnley players singing ‘let’s go fucking mental’ for a good 30/45 seconds without them cutting away. Nice 18:45 viewing on a bank holiday Monday!
And then some. It’s an incredibly unusual set of circumstances; one set of games to be played, one automatic promotion spot filled, with the only two teams who can take the other spot playing each other on the final day (and this being the reason that the first spot is filled in the first place).
Not quite winner takes all, as a draw will see Boro promoted. But in many ways that simply evens things up, given that Brighton are at home. I’m tempted to make some facile comment about Boro needing a backs-to-the-wall performance, but I fear that it might be considered anti-Semitic.
I’d actually like to see Brighton go up. The idea of the Premier League having three south coast teams, with Pompey still playing in League Two (let’s face it, they’re more than capable of fucking up the play-offs), is just fab.
That’s a damn fine reason and no mistake. Given the way that you feel about your friend, I’m now really want Boro to go up as well. It just seems like the decent thing. Fortunately, there’s room for both Boro and Brighton to go up. That makes me a feel a whole lot better.
Brighton v Boro is going to be an edge of seat game

Brighton are away to Boro.
My mistake - they are indeed. Saw a reference to Brighton vs Boro and got it the wrong way round. Very much in Boro’s favour then, but they’ll get the jitters big time if Brighton score first.
