England or Boro?

[Bristolboro]

A Boro win, England draw and win the penalty shoot out.

That's cheating. It's still a win.

 

[Quicksilvera]

Boro.

 

[Bristolboro]

personally, I think a Boro win would compensate nicely for an England loss. That's all I'm saying.

 

[atypical_boro]

If Boro win I’d think “great stuff lads, beating a team you should beat, very professional. On to the next one now”.

If England win I’d be elated at beating the World
Champions and very excited about another major tournament semi.

I’d also take England winning the World Cup over Boro getting promoted at this very moment in time. I’ve seen us promoted loads of times, and I’m not even that fussed about being in the PL. It was awful last time and I’m not convinced we have the tools to do much better next time (though that could change). England winning the WC could be once in a lifetime.

I'm so used to the idea of England failing to win the world cup that it would be really weird for them to win it. The whole winning world cup thing would be de-mystified and we wouldn't be able to moan anymore, and the whole country would sink into a post-euphoria depression. So, it's best we lose and carry on with what we know.. the Boro.

Normally I would say Boro, but it’s the World Cup quarter final and it’s against France

Boro 100%

I posted this in another thread


If Boro lose against Luton it will affect my mood, I wont want to watch the highlights, come on here to talk about the match etc etc. If England lose against France I will have forgotten about it 2 minutes after the final whistle.

Do i still wonder about Gazza's missed chance against Germany in Euro 96 and what could have been? NO
Do i still wonder what might have been if we didn't get three points deducted and the little fella stay's alongside all the rumoured signings? ABSOLUTELY

Exactly this. If England can beat France I'll be thrilled and excited, if they lose it'll be a shrug and c'est la vie moment.

If the Boro lose it'll ruin the weekend and I'll be cheesed off until we play (and win) again.

Not even close. Boro all day, every day.

But if Boro win how long will you be excited for? It’s just a run of the mill win against a side we expect to beat at home.

I bet we are the only football message board in the country to be posing this question this week.

 

[Lottowyn]

I’d like both to win of course, but I have to go with Boro.

 

[h_m_boro]

Boro. Be proper narked if we don't win.......if England don't win......meh .

Have to admit to not being particularly ars*ed with international football. Could easily live without watching Engerland...... definitely not Boro

 

[MolteniArcore]

Boro win

 

[Marvanelli]

Took me a matter of minutes to get over that Euro Final penalty defeat against Italy.

However, it puts a dampener on my weekend when 'Boro lose.

Hopefully we both win and we can celebrate on Saturday evening.

Your first sentence surprises me as you are one of the most vocal about England on here.

Have to say I was devastated about losing that one. I’ve been more devasted about Boro stuff, but not in recent years while we’ve been scratching about in the middle of the Champioship.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Despite watching England play and wanting them to win for as long as I can remember, I'm with Marv on this one.

No emotional attachment.

I will always watch and follow England and I do invest time in them. And I always will.

But it just never feels the same and I don't have the same level of connection like I do with Middlesbrough.

I do think the time with Southgate as manager has made me like and connect to England a lot more than any other manager has, but it still isn't the same and doesn't come remotely close, although I must say I follow and appreciate England more now than I have ever done before.

I feel similar

I don’t recognise your authority Bristolboro so therefore not your rules either so the anarchist in me says both.
