However it was never going to be easy and Man. U. started off playing the crisp, decisive, passing game that we have become accustomed to this season. 10 March 2007 http://www.geordiesport.com/football/middlesbrough_football_club/middlesbrough_conned_by_united_ref.html http://www.geordiesport.com/football/middlesbrough_football_club/marathon_men.html When it comes to cup-ties you can never say that Boro do not give you value for money!
