Add in some interminable VAR delays resulting in bizarre decisions, and baby you’ve got a stew going.

Five minutes of corner kicks, immediately into a long throw. Two of the ten best teams in the world, and it’s live!

It’s genuinely why the Championship is more fun to watch. Obviously I still hope Boro go up, but I’ve enjoyed even the most bog-standard Championship match more than most of Prem ones I’ve watched this season.

Yeah my wife’s hospital was essentially functioning without electronic patient records/working computers for a whole month due to a cyberattack, it’s a whole thing. Cost the network close to $50m as I recall.

‘Americans look at election results in other countries without immediately drawing unwise parallels to their own politics’ Challenge. Difficulty level - impossible.

Aye I’m with you, I’ve had my complaints about players this year but if you’re in the ground you can’t be booing us off while we’re second. Nonsensical behaviour, clearly nobody remembers what it was like under Strachan

Fans have been like this for a years now. Azaz, who was obviously our best player last year, talked about how unwelcome he felt, and Whittaker this season was obviously affected by it too. Not sure how they’ve become entitled given we’ve not been a proper Prem team for the better part of 20 years.

Just feels like we’re trying to be a bit too cute with it all the time and teams have figured out we’d rather play through the middle. It’s really the first time I’ve been worried Kim doesn’t know how to get the players to adjust. #boro

I don’t really understand why we’re not joining the rest of the footballing world in the ‘hoy it into the box with long throws when you can’ era. Everyone is focused on set pieces and it feels like we’re not remotely set up for that, again, need a plan b. #boro

The players quite clearly feel the pressure, you can see it in how they play and how they’re chipping at each other, it’s not helping and given this is our best chance at going up in ten years the fans who are all over them are way out over their skis #boro

It’s been an amazing year so far and to lose so much perspective having only lost two league games since the turn of the year is completely deranged #boro

I’m not having the booing at full time though. Ridiculous nonsense and detrimental to the mood on the pitch. Multiple players have called out the fans for this stuff the past few years and they’re not wrong to do so #boro

Still in our hands, but only just #boro

Got to hope for a Kim adjustment with difficult games coming up, didn’t like seeing the players sniping at each other either. Vibes suddenly seem really poor #boro

Strelec is a ghost of a player, offers next to nothing #boro

Lost all momentum, too many players way out of form (Ayling, Targett, Whittaker, Conway, Morris, Hackney), difficult games coming up. Got to figure out a plan B #boro

Felt like Carrickball again (derogatory) #boro

We are second in the league, how the fuck is the Boro match not on Paramount.

Yeah I just said it elsewhere but being a Brit in the US the jarring difference is seeing people in genuine states of psychosis on the street with regularity. Compared to home, it feels like once you fall out the bottom of the healthcare system here there's little recourse to be brought back in.

Our school had an SEND unit with some children who had Tourette's that presented with verbal tics, so perhaps it's that and i'm the outlier here. But seeing people with Tourette's in public felt semi-commonplace. Odd to see so many people who seem to be encountering it for the first time.

Gotta say that i'm pretty surprised at the general lack of understanding around Tourette's as part of The Discourse (maybe I shouldn't be). My recollection of being a kid in 90s England was that it was pretty well-drilled into us how it worked, is it a US thing?

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, i'm not thrilled about the conversation creeping onto, say, GB News, but if this is the framing I'm not especially worried about it. Until 'are you going to keep it?' stops being the socially-acceptable first question to 'I accidentally got pregnant', basically.

It's a fair point, but that didn't really hinge on a 'we're anti this thing because we're religious' viewpoint. Abortion is so culturally accepted at this point that people aren't going to go for 'we shouldn't have this because we're a Christian nation' as the argument.

Targett well off it for the second game in a row, Morris too. #boro

Don’t get taking Sarmiento before Whittaker, looked far livelier. Don’t get how Strelec stayed on so long, was the worst player on the pitch #boro

Grim that, really poor from basically everyone out there. At least the other results went our way. #boro

First one was fine, by the third it's already completely deranged. I respect it.

Has anyone done the I sleep/real shit template for Anthony Gordon in the league/Champions League yet.

Either way, let's see AI music come up with this one, live music forever.

Might be the most incredible use of a loop pedal i've ever seen given the complexity of the playing and the added difficulty of the costumes.
