Boro Shut Up The Doubters
By Steve Goldby

It's time to stop the barrage of badly informed negative opinion from those with extremely limited knowledge of what goes on at the club and extremely limited knowledge of how to get the best out of the squad and engineer victories over our rivals.

Ride out, protectors of the realm
Capatin's at the helm, sail across the sea of lights
Circles and rings, dragons and kings
Weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the toll of the bell
Bloodied angels fast descending
Moving on a never-bending light
Phantom figures free forever
Out of shadows, shining ever-bright
Neon Knights!
Wednesday night's stunning victory against Chelsea spoke volumes, especially to the harbingers of doom who wrote us off just one game into the season and in some cases, before it had even begun.
So shut up, the 'expert' tipsters who had us down for a long hard relegation battle. We proved that last season's win against the champions was no fluke and we did it in fine style. And it won't be the last 'surprise' that we spring this season.
Shut up, those who said that Gareth Southgate's lack of managerial experience was a hindrance to a developing club and that he lacked the know-how to take the club further. It was Gareth's tactics that brought us a famous win last night and he's shown already that he has what it takes to do this job and do it well.
Shut up, anyone who bemoaned our lack of pre-season signings. You had no faith in the squad we have and the infrastructure already in place. The house that Gibson built is solid and in good shape and whilst one or two additions may enhance it, we'll get by fine if we don't manage to bring anyone in.
Shut up, you so called 'supporters' who wrote off the team after Saturday's Reading match. Haven't you heard of Teesside steel before and don't you know that Boro always do the unexpected? Write this team off at your peril because we always come out fighting when our backs are against the wall.
Shut up all those doubters who said we had no chance of beating Chelsea, despite not having lost at home to a top four side for well over a year now.
Shut up all those who constantly criticise Stuart Parnaby and whose 'expert' opinion is that Emanuel Pogatetz is no centre-half. Parnaby played his part brilliantly last night and Chelsea's galacticos couldn't deal with Mad-Dog at all.
The atmosphere at the Riverside was totally brilliant last night and this goes to show what can be achieved when the crowd are fully behind the team. Those who have just been silenced would do well to bear that in mind.
Perhaps the doubters stayed away on Wednesday night though because the atmosphere was not just electric but totally positive as well. The twelfth man concept is no myth - it is a reality and a credit to the support of Middlesbrough Football Club and it works as well.
It's time to stop the barrage of badly informed negative opinion from those with extremely limited knowledge of what goes on at the club and extremely limited knowledge of how to get the best out of the squad and engineer victories over our rivals.
It's time to put our trust in Steve Gibson and Gareth Southgate, totally and without question because this is the mark of true support and the very best thing that we can do for the team and the club.
Those who still want to dish out unceasing criticism of Boro, despite last night's result should go and follow Sunderland instead because to doubt Middlesbrough now is to doubt Steve Gibson and all that he has worked for and created.
We're on our way back to Europe, be sure of that.
Until next week.

CHARLTON v BOLTON NO-LOSE BET
For those of you who are unfamiliar with arbitrage betting, what we are going to do here is to back all three different possible outcomes of the match with three different bookies.
We will make a small loss on the match but collect free bets from the bookies which we can cash in to ensure an overall profit.
We're going to lay out a total of £73.00 on the match and we will lose between £4.25 and £5.50 whatever the result but we'll gain a total of £70.00 in free bets which we can cash out on the next round of matches.
If you already have accounts with one or more of the bookies I have chosen, you won't be able to do this but if that is the case, just let me know and I'll find you an alternative bookie of which there are a few.
Here's how it's done. Just follow these simple instructions.
1. Open accounts with Stan James, Bet365 and Victor Chandler. This shouldn't take you any longer than ten minutes.
2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts. Deposit £25 into your new Stan James account. Deposit £27 into your new Bet365 account and deposit £21 into your new Victor Chandler account.
3. Now make the following bets.
Place £25 on Bolton to win at 7/4 with Stan James.
Place £27 on Charlton to win at 6/4 with Bet365.
Place £21 on the draw at 9/4 with Victor Chandler.
You have temporarily laid out a total of £73. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.
4. Here's what happens at the end of the game.
If Bolton win, you will collect £68.75 from Stan James, including your stake back.
If Charton win, you will collect £67.50 from Bet365, including your stake back.
If it's a draw, you will collect £68.25 from Victor Chandler, including your stake back.
Now here comes the best bit...
5. We lost between £4.25 and £5.50 on the match but very shortly after the final whistle, Bet365 will credit your account with a free £25 bet, Stan James will do the same and Victor Chandler will credit your account with a free £20 bet. That's a total of £70 in free bets.
If you decide to keep on betting with Bet365, you will also receive further free bets up to the value of £75.
We can cash out the free bets on the next round of Premiership matches by selecting a match with suitable odds and backing all three possible outcomes with the same three companies using only the free bets in your accounts. This guarantees a healthy overall profit, whatever the result of the Charlton v Bolton match and whatever the result of the next match we select.
If you want me to work out the best way to cash out the free bets on the weekend match, just contact me and I'll do all the maths for you and tell you the best bets to place.
This method was used very successfully during the World Cup and you can read all about how it was done right here.
It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that question is that we have been publishing arbitrage bets for three seasons now and literally hundreds of people have profited from following the advice on these pages.
The only stipulation here is that you must click on the links on this page to be eligible for the refund guarantee, not that you'll be needing to claim anyway. Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these throughout the season.
