We travelled back from France a day early on Friday the thirteenth so that I could go to the match (Sharon wasn't that bothered about it). Luckily it proved to be a good decision, although after fifteen minutes I was beginning to question why I had bothered! One nil down and looking likely to concede at any moment we somehow managed to get into the game and finished the first half on level terms.
Another two goals followed in the second half and in fairness the scoreline was a little harsh on a decent 'boro side.
To cap a good afternoon I managed to leap up the TWTD's prediction league getting both the correct result and first Town goals scorer.

Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of by U2 from the album "All That You Can’t Leave Behind" - A very Irish theme, plenty of speculation this week about Mick McCarthy getting offered the Republic Of Ireland job following the mutual parting of the ways with Giovanni Trapattoni. Martin O'Neil has already got the job according to Big Mick, but don't rule him out just yet!
