Ref Watch
The referee for this game is Keith Stroud who has already been an official at one game this season, at Coventry in Birmingham. That game ended 1-1. Last season Stroud was the official at the Liberty when Leeds won 1-0 and at WBA where the swans also lost. The other game he managed last season was home to Reading, the final score was 1-1.
What is a smog / smoggie / smoggy ?
This is a Boro term given to them whenever that happened. Probably when they had steelworks and jobs. It probably happened in the past, and was considered an offensive term until Steve Gibson took over the club and wouldn’t sign a manager unless his name was Brian. Most people who live in Middlesbrough are called Brian. Like Clough but not as talented. Boro folk have their own vocabulary which is called a name.
You too can speak smog
Saying “like” after everything
Every word ending in 'ter' being replaced with an 'a' — butter, matter, batter etc
"Ee-ya mate" Means Ee-ya mate, can ya go in the shop for us?
Tickle my bum ya get. Means I’m a bit fruity but I’m still hard.
"Yerjokinarnyer?" - The response when answering the point above.
"Nithered" - I’m a tad cold.
"Giz a croggy" Can ya Giz a croggy over the border mate? Me bike's been nicked.
Can you please let me ride on the handlebars of your bike while you pedal to the other side of town friend? My bike has been stolen.
A lot of things get stolen in the Boro of smog, like Townhill or Prestonpans.
Boro fans like to be a bit tasty, not like a food taster but like a pretty difficult to fight sort of man ( and woman) due to the fact they are hard as a hard thing. Biffa Bacons ma wasn’t from Middlesbrough, so she would have probably beaten them all up.
Top 5 Boro facts
1. Sex was banned in Middlesbrough in 1964.
2. Most people go to Newcastle for sex due to the fact it’s in Sunderland. Anyone who has been to the big market will vouch for this. Or cattle market as smoggies refer to it.
3. Boro has five sex shops that sell everything from aubergines to flaky cheese.
4. A flaky bellend is what most men have in Middlesbrough. Nobody knows why but rumour and speculation will tell you it’s because of the cheese.
5. The oldest person to have sex in Middlesbrough was Dorothy Twerp who saddled fifteen men in Redcar last Sunday. She is 99.

And there’s a game too ...
Match facts
1. Middlesbrough have lost six of their last nine matches against Swansea in all competitions (W1 D2).
2. Swansea have won their last three league matches against Middlesbrough, their best winning run against them.
3. Neil Warnock has won six of his nine home Football League matches against Swansea City (D2 L1), winning with Scarborough, Notts County, Huddersfield, Crystal Palace and QPR.
4. Swansea’s Andre Ayew has been directly involved in four goals in two league appearances against Middlesbrough (3 goals, 1 assist).
5. Middlesbrough have won four of their seven home games in the Championship this season (D2 L1), only two fewer than the Teesiders managed under Jonathan Woodgate through the majority of last season (6 wins in 20 games).

It's as if nobody wants to come and collect the ball in the middle of the pitch. Everyone is just driving forward and playing poor passes down the channel or into a striker when there's not another Swansea player in their half.
This is Cooperball at its finest. |  |

Touch of fortune for the home team, but we haven't looked great. We depend on Ayew or perhaps one of the defenders to get a goal. Let us hope for a break. | | | |

Newcastle must have been laughing when they received the email where we offered to take him off their wage bill for another season. | |

Playing hoofball will suit Boro and with the ref buying their antics I can’t see us getting anything. | |

Looking like a long night, if they get a second Sarah Beeny’s new life on C4 at 8PM might have a greater appeal! | | | |

But people moan so much when someone does that for "slowing us down" when we could be chucking it forward aimlessly. | | | |

Fulton needs to come off for Grimes.
The naivety of his performance tonight has been disappointing. | | | |

He plays up to the East Stand and knows how to brown nose supporters via his media interviews.
That buys a lot of goodwill at this club. Just look at the status the likes of Van Zweeden and Jenkins accumulated doing just that. | |
