    I have faith in us, not Boro.

    I can't see anything other than a Norwich win, hopefully by a small margin.

    It's okay Witney, I disliked my horses falling over too!

    If my luck changes, £50 quid goes to a good cause. If I lose........ Happy days as i'd take a draw tonight, and we can go second tomorrow with a win.

    Everyone is a winner :)

    The most ideal result tonight would be a 0-0 followed by us winning 5-0 tomorrow. This would almost certainly effectively mean 4 points should be enough from our last 2 games barring 2 Norwich routs.

    Different circumstances but Boro absolutely mullered them at home - same groups of players so I won't be giving up hope just yet.

    Boro know they have to win tonight or it's playoffs for sure. Norwich know they can't lose or Boro are in with a shout at their expense.

    I fully expect Norwich to be playing to not lose rather than going all out for the win, and I expect Boro to be far more aggressive than they were against us, but highly conscious of the fact that a loss condemns them to the playoffs for certain.

    Both teams know that a draw isn't good enough with only 2 games to go after tonight.

    I'm expecting a very cagey game overall.

    I can't beleive this thread is on page3.

    Any result other than a Norwich win means we go up if we win the last 3 without having to worry about goal difference. So that's all that matters surely - not a Norwich win?

    If Norwich win lets hope its not by more than 1.

    A draw is best then we gain advantage on both sides should we do our jobs tomorrow..

    We could go above Norwich if Middlesbrough win by 2 goals...

    Just 1 goal no? We'd be level on GD but have greater goals scored?

    Boro's last 4 away games:

    Norwich
    Watford
    Bournemouth
    Derby

    One before that was Forest. Blimey.

    It's hard enough trying to concentrate my energy for our efforts without this external distraction,however...

    In an effort to help matters,I too have bet on Delia,as mentioned elsewhere.

    I have also decided that as we want a draw I shall be wearing a pair of orange Calvin Klein trunks that MrIBB discarded.Before anyone gets too ahead of themselves,they have never been worn and I shall be wearing them as 'shorts' not undies.TMI! Moving on,orange Babolat trainers too which I had stopped wearing as they are L*t*n esque! Tonight I shall suffer for the cause.

    Why orange? Delia are yellow,Boro red so... red and yellow = orange. God this is draining!

    A very good reason not to rule them out. They are two points off the top despite that very tough run in.

    A draw is 100% the best result tonight.

    As a Norwich-born Watford fan who wants both to go up automatically (but Watford if it's only one of us), then I'll know what I want to happen tonight when I know how Bournemouth and Watford get on tomorrow.

    I think I want a draw, or failing that a one-goal Norwich win. Having cheered on Ipswich against Boro, I may now find myself wanting Boro to score against Norwich. Life is so stressful.

    Feel sorry for Boro fans who had us and Bournemouth live on TV, 12.30pm kick off and now a Friday night in Norwich. Bit harsh

    I'll make it simpler for you - you're a Watford fan so you should want either a draw or a Boro win.

    Yes,sometimes it's easy to forget how much Sky disrupt the fixtures.Another reason to hope,albeit with a HUGE dose of self interest,that Boro take a point tonight!

    But I want Norwich to come second. Although if Watford get automatic promotion and Norwich don't, that'll keep my rellies quiet!

    Yes ... if they lose Norwich drop to fourth. Even one goal would do it.

    Boro win but field an ineligible player then get docked three points.

    #NCFC team vs @Boro: Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin (c), Bassong, Olsson; Howson, Tettey, Dorrans, Johnson; Hoolahan; Jerome.

    Is that one up front for Norwich? I'm no expert.

    BORO TEAM NEWS: Dimi, Kalas, Ayala, Gibson, Friend, Adomah, Leadbitter, Clayton, Tomlin, Vossen, Bamford.

    Brough fans are happy with their team on Twitter.


    Also:


    9 - Only Bournemouth (12) have scored more goals on a Friday in the Championship this season than Norwich (9).

    Norwich kick off and immediately punt it high into the air towards the Boro box.

    Hilarious.
