Come on Boro,

As our Chief Exec has recently said, since 1995 we have been in 5 major cup finals more than any other team outside the ‘Big four’ and are the only team outside the ‘Big four’ to have played in a European Final.

To see how passionate we are check out Jeff Stellings rant on Middlesbrough on You tube.

Middlesbrough are a REAL football team, full of local passion and English pride. A team with more England Internationals than any other team, as well as the highest percentage of local lads, and the 2nd lowest average age in the premier league. Add to that a local chairman who is seen as a hero by many on teeside and you have a great, unique team to support.

Follow the Boro mate, We will destroy teams this season.

Up the Boro!

fook me, Ive never seen such ridiculous comments before.

I had heard Americans were thick but you lot are taking the piss.

Im from Middlesbrough and ive been laughing my arse off reading comments on here.

To be honest we dont need stupid Americans supporting our team, you might as well support Man U or Chelsea.

Also to the guys saying we will never win anything, we were the last team out of the top 4 to win anything before Portsmouth won the fa cup this year.

ANy way, up the boro, you lot stick to playing netball, rounders and invading third world countries, while your at it, get Mugabe out of Zimbabwe, there must be summat in his country you want.

ttfn.

Never a dull moment with Boro. It is an white-knuckle ride very single year. We are a proud, parochial, bloody-minded, pessimistic, witty, sexy, philosophical crowd who don’t care what other fans think. We won’t be begging you to support us.

If it is cheap second hand glamour and nailed on reflected glory you want, try the Manchester Home County Reds or Liverpool Bindippers. If you want a character building, emotional assault course that will help you earn respect and learn to experience the game as a people’s opera of hope and adversity, we are your boys.

Middlesbrough would be a good choice, and certainly not a boring one. Contrary to what some people have said on here, they have an exciting recent history such as the uefa cup run 2 years ago and the league cup win 5 years ago. They lose games they should win and have a habit of making things hard for themselves, but have a very impressive record against the ‘big 4′, allowing you to gloat when you see your gloryhunting friends. The current team is very young with the manager training an attacking emphasis into the team.

And the guy who said people from Middlesbrough do not like ‘cleveland’ is talking out his ass.

I can’t believe people suggesting you chose Fulham over Boro? Middlesbrough every day of the week…a great choice.

Wow, how did I miss my favorite KC columnist finally writing about my favorite sport? Middlesbrough is a very KC Chiefs pick on the field with a Royals fanbase. Always doing just enough to stay up in the Premier League or possibly in a very good year push for a lower cup spot.

Good call with the local sponsor too. I’ve been paying more attention to them since Garmin showed up.

Middlesbrough are probably in the bottom third of the Premier League in terms of support, but let’s just say the competition is rough there. 96+ professional clubs in an area the size of Louisiana. They’d have a decent amount of bandwagon fans if they made some real noise.

Make sure you try to watch as many of your clubs games as possible so you can ride the highs and lows of a season. Be prepared for some lows. Maybe play a PS3 or XBOX360 season of the new FIFA or Winning Eleven with Boro so you get to know the upcoming players names. Cheers. blog bookmarked!
