The fact that it has bugger all to do with how well they may or may not do this season doesn’t fit the narrative either.

How does it have ‘bugger all’ to do with it? Think you need to re read what’s being said.

My point is that our record over the last few years against them means absolutely nothing in respect of the gulf - nay, chasm - of class between the respective playing squads. You’re talking about a team where pretty much every single first teamer walks into ours. A team who’s front two cost what we spend in 2 or 3 windows let alone on 2 or 3 players.

They are a very very strong side and have inflicted our only defeat of the season. 

I stand firmly behind my statement that the reaction to the opening 3 games has been ludicrously over the top. 

My point is that it has always been thus. Boro have had far more better players than us for years now. Yet we competed. In fact we had a bloody good record against them. But it doesn’t suit the narrative to remember that.

I’m well aware of our recent results against Boro. I’m referring to the here and now. Impressive squad assembled on big wages under a very good manager. They will be there or thereabouts without a shadow of doubt. 

They had a big squad on big wages before. We still had a fantastic record against them. They were there or thereabouts last season. Taking one of the play off spots that we royally ballsed up!

Boro aren’t a ‘top, top side’ - we made them look good though....

Quite agree. We’ve competed with them for years when we’ve played them . One result and all of a sudden they’re world beaters and a heavyweight to suit the argument. Forest werent all that either despite the constant mantra that they are amazing all of a sudden due to their spending. Anyway. We won away. A good day.  

Who’s this bloke slyly slagging Taylor on RB ffs? He’s a happy chappy! 

Well done City, QPR are obviously dog dirt but but a 0-3 win at any team in this division is an absolutely fantastic result. 

Get in there Matty!!

Joe Bryan is in the away end 

Eh? But he doesn’t like football does he? Not the type! 

Just had the displeasure of driving past the Rugby Ground. My little one (8)  asked me ‘why do all their fans look like grown up versions of the weird kids at school?’!! Love her

Yes, with a character bearing a name nodding to Adolf Hitler. 

In fairness Clarky, Bottom was a fantastic comedy show watched and loved by millions (me included). Don't think the character name causes any offence whatsoever if you know what it refers to.

Woke up feeling that way but I’m trying to stay positive. It’s amazing how quickly things can change.

Good performance and result tonight, coupled with favourable other results and Saturday all of a sudden looks very different and we go into it with potentially a different mentality. 

Football really can change very quickly and inexplicably sometimes. I’ve long given up trying to predict this league in particular.  

Bloody hell @BRISTOL86 you’re making me hopeful again!

Football is such a beautiful games sometimes!!

They are an exaggerated parody of themselves.....

Someone should do a mockumentary on them. Would be amazing. That kid who does the YouTube videos and his dad could take the lead roles.

Big fight at the Wellington Pub apparently #familyclub

Absolutely fantastic effort to stay up from where we were. Get in!

Wow. Just when you think it couldn't get any worse! They truly are an absolute embarrassment to our fair City.

Imagine supporting a club in 2017 that doesn't just ignore the fact there are still a small minority who express racist views, and that said club are actually aware of this because their own supporters are calling out the culprits.

Anybody who thinks that their own club is TOTALLY free from racism is burying their heads in the sand.

Agree. There are Neanderthals everywhere and in all walks of life. Football or not. It's a bit strange though isn't it that there seems to be more need at your dump to send out these reminders to your fans  in comparison to other clubs? 

Absolutely fantastic result. Well done City. 4 massive points from two bloody difficult away games. Over the moon. Now let's keep this going.

Anyone see the people who at the start of the game on twitter who were annoyed at Johnson starting Flint?

We're winning away and all you want to do is stir - crazy.
