THE nation fumes at the "Maccabores" and tears its collective hair out at the switch to an unfamilar shape, the enthusiastic insertion of square pegs into round holes, a lack of creativity, the ebbing away of any zest from once sparkling players and a stifling air of hopelessness spreading from the pitch to envelope the crowd. Welcome to our world.
We shouldn't really but most Boro fans were laughing their socks off this morning. Openly smirking at each other in recognition at our liberation from that. And at the fate of the FA, the national press and the rest of the country. There, that's what we put up with the last two years before we slipped you the black spot. See how you like it. Boro got a good result in that Woodgate and Downing came through uninjured - nothing else really mattered. Gibbo got an even better one. He will have been laughing even louder while looking at the cheque in disbelief.
I don't want to talk about the game, I'm really not bothered. I'm just enjoying the schadenfraude.
