WE ARE UP! Boro back in the Premier League
	I was there... ...This was a match which Boro could not afford to lose. At half time things were not looking too good. We were drawing 0-0 and with Sunderland beating Swindon 2-0 this meant we had to win! Before everybody had settled down for the second half, Alun Armstrong had put us 1-0 up, then two minutes later Merson made a great run cutting inside the defender and crossing it low for Armstrong's second - you could feel the pressure lift as the ball hit the back of the net. Craig Hignett scored two more goals to round off a good season for him. Oxford somehow managed to score and history was repeated. It finished Boro 4, Oxford 1 - BORO are back!

	Nev's "Man of the Season" Gian Luca Festa
		Just like most Middlesbrough fans my choice for "Man of the Season is Gian Luca Festa. He is one of the stars of last season who has stayed with the Boro. His tackling skills have been brilliant and he can also run with the ball. He is always the first out at half time and he never gets tired.
