TODAY’S OPPOSITES

 

Middlesbrough is an open-air demonstration of the dangers of the Industrial Revolution. It has been allowed to remain as a warning to any aliens who may pass Earth that whatever happens, they should never invent anything so terrible.

Founded in 1972, by a group of wealthy businessmen who needed to set up large chemical processing plants and decided that the strange, primitive tribes who lived along the banks of the small stream known as the Tees would suffice as worker ants. The businessmen often had their wicked way with the subnormal tribespeople. Indeed, 97% of the town's current inhabitants can trace their descendents to the town's founders. The town commemorates its heritage by wearing period clothes from the time (tracksuits made of nylon) on an everyday basis.

Traditionally a major steel producing area, the main industries of the town now consists of Nuclear Waste Plants, Toxic Waste Plants, Chemical Waste Plants, Oil Waste Plants and docks. Middlesbrough also offers the greatest bargains available in the U.K at the Superstore Smack Converters, providing brand new (off the back of a truck) electronic goods for the price of a "tenner bag". Middlesbrough boasts many sites of interest, including the largest public toilets and bath house in the world, both are known by the locals as the 'River Tees'. The rampant pollution has led to the appearance of genetically mutated, floating dogs…

The town is also renowned for it's football team and that’s how we come to be playing them today.

Middlesbrough's new signing striker Rudy Gestede could make his debut against Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in Sunday's FA Cup tie. Keeper Victor Valdes, full-back Fabio and midfielders Grant Leadbitter and Gaston Ramirez are injury concerns.

 

The Owls will be without midfielder Kieran Lee, who has had surgery to resolve a hip problem. Midfielder Almen Abdi could return after missing two matches.

    ▪    This will be the first FA Cup meeting between the sides since February 1992 when they met in the fourth round, with Boro progressing 2-1 at Hillsborough.

 

    ▪    The last time these sides met in the FA Cup in Middlesbrough was in January 1912, a goalless draw at Ayresome Park.

 

    ▪    Middlesbrough's last FA Cup tie as a Premier League side was in March 2009 - they have been eliminated from just one of their past 15 FA Cup ties against a side from a lower division when they have been a top-flight side. That was a 2-0 quarter-final defeat in March 2008 by Cardiff.

 

    ▪    The Owls have been eliminated from their past 12 FA Cup ties against Premier League opponents, since beating rivals Sheffield United in the semi-final of the 1992-93 competition.

 

    ▪    Boro have not kept a clean sheet in their past six home games in the FA Cup.

 

    ▪    Atdhe Nuhiu has scored in two of his past three games for Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup, including their last goal against a top-flight side (v Manchester City in January 2015)

KING CARLOS’ PEARLS OF WISDOM

 

“We will be with a good support but they are the favourites, they are playing at home. Aitor Karanka has done a fantastic job to get Middlesbrough to the Premier League in his three and a half years at the club. When they achieved the Premier League they are consistent, they have upgraded important players and we are completely underdogs. We will play our football, I’m telling people all the time we are Sheffield Wednesday and we go to all the stadiums to try to win the games.

This is one of the games we understand to be more difficult than the other games. We will not risk players for sure, though that doesn’t mean we are not giving importance to the competition. We will try to win the game, we will be fighting to go to the next step in the competition but at the same time we will not be taking any risks with players.”
