Middlesbrough’s defeat
today at Wembley, followed via radio Five Live as I went about my chores,
finished off the football season in these parts, where the Boro’s experience –
an excellent season ending in bitter disappointment at narrowly missing out on
promotion to the Premier League via the play-off final – contrasted sharply
with that of the other three professional NE teams – Newcastle, Sunderland and Hartlepool
all having very poor seasons in which relegation looked likely (in one case
almost certain), yet surviving with late wins that saw their supporters elated
and off to the summer break on relative highs.
