Last night’s Spurs-Boro fixture wrapped up with a nineteen-man brawl on the pitch:
A mild game erupted in the closing minutes when Didier Zokora and Boro’s George Boateng were sent off after a set-to by the touchline. A late Aaron Lennon tackle on Boateng had sparked a melee which attracted every player but Paul Robinson.
A footie match and a rugby game for one ticket: what a bargain!

What do you have against Middlesbrough FC? Every article seems to mention boro in some way but many of the articles are written against middlesbrough and complaining about them. Do you support the boro or are you a sunderland fan with nothing else to talk about?
James,
Boro has figured lately on the blog only because of the debacle over Gareth Southgate’s lack of coaching credentials. I have been critical of him and Glenn Roeder for their public moaning over the UEFA licence requirements, Southgate especially because he seems to think he is owed a coaching job regardless of professional qualifications.
I am not a Sunderland supporter, although I wish Roy Keane the best of luck, as I do admire him as the model of a hard player.
If you think I ride a hobby horse over one team and it’s Boro, then you haven’t been reading my commentaries on Arsenal, better known here as la Légion Étrangère du Londres-Nord.
