Middlesbrough FC

If you wear three bras, then this team is not interested in the top bra, or the under-​bra, but only the Middle-​bra.
First-​Hand Experience: I saw Boro play once at Ayresome when I was a kid, and once in Oxford. Then I saw them play in Liverpool when Gerrard scored twice and Rafa’s LFC beat them 2 – 0 not long before the CL Final which LFC lost. And I’ve now been to the Riverside a few times and it’s honestly one of my fave stadiums to go to.
I was sad a few months ago when Boro did not make it back to the Prem, but I love Norwich too so I was happy about that. Boro are such a wonderful team, for an underprivileged area that needs them. I’d actually call them one of my fave teams in the region, to be honest.
Middlesbrough is one of my favourite cities in the UK, bizarrely. It’s a sea of factories and poverty, but it also has real character and is one of the most underrated metro areas in one of the most underrated regions (The North East), and I had a lovely concert there when I played there.
This team was formed way back in 1876 and is ambitious, always has been, from getting Mendieta on their team, to getting McLaren and Southgate as managers, to building the Riverside Stadium.
Also if you’re ever in this part of the world you need to eat a Parmo, which is the local specialty, and is utterly delicious. Chipchase Chippy makes the best one.
McLaren won them the League Cup in 2004, and got them to the UEFA Cup Final in 2006, amazingly. They were in the Prem for 11 straight years and have been in the top flight many times. Middlesbrough has the highest portion of female fans (20%) and girls up here are wonderful. They have the highest portion of local born fans (80%) too. They’re also the 7^th loudest fans in the country.
They were the first club to launch their own TV channel, a year ahead of Man U.
They’ve been League Cup Runners Up twice and FA Cup Runners up once, all in that amazing McLaren era.
Easily a five star team and good luck to them.
