not many of you may know this but boro have in the past had a good team now don't laugh this is serious
in our history we have finished twice inside the top four of the top flight
but then the world conspires to thwart our domination
look at it closely
(the next bits are straight from wiki about middlesbrough)
The club rose to their highest league finish to date, 3rd, in 1913–14.[10] World War I soon intervened and football was suspended
and then
Boro climbed to fourth in the last full season before World War II and were expected to challenge for the title next season, but the war intervened
no wonder the FA took 3 points off us in 1997 they new the world was in danger if our team had stayed up
so remember if (and its not too likely) Boro ever challenge for a champions league place then WW3 is about to start
