Lead story on BBC Breakfast sports news this morning. Still going with the "....could it be Hull vs Middlesbrough in the final" stuff.

It's still true that it will not be until Summer 27 at the earliest that they can actually achieve level or better than what they inherited.

What are you talking about?

The sacrifices we make for the international TV market these days is disgusting

"We were watching Middlesbrough"

Best news of the day. THB is exactly what need against Hull. Brilliant

The last few years it has been between 3 and 4pm kick off

Absolute agony for most of the night but we deserved to win the tie across the two matches. Boro had a half and then half a half, we really were on top when it mattered. But Boro were very good and evenly matched as it should be as there was only a goal between us across the whole season. Having been to both matches I would say that finishing fourth and having the Riverside match on Saturday lunchtime and tonight at home - that was absolutely critical for us winning. There was an intensity to the Boro fans which would have told for them and against us if the matches were the other way round.

We need them to tire out in the same way they did on Saturday.

Palace under Dowie is the only other one that springs to mind.

It's Hull.

Ok you're saying its relevant and I am telling you it is irrelevant. Utterly irrelevant.

Last time someone took a picture they were fined £200k and then the authorities tightened up the rules. "Anyone could walk past and see it" is beyond irrelevant here.

Yes this is futile nonsense. "They left their back gate ajar so it's actually their fault I stole their motorbike" is a fucking stupid defence.

It's the football equivalent of Boris Johnson giving that blonde piece a peerage a couple of years ago.
