Searched and searched but couldnt find a match thread for this, guessing we are all still a little sore from Sunday, exciting for me as never got to start one of these before.

 

Anyway, a must win. Anything less and its a definite wobble.

Hate this fixture.  We're usually s***e, even when we're good.  Ravanelli, Marco Branca, ice on the ball etc.

 

Trying to remember a win and seem to recall Anelka scoring there in a 1-2?

Down Memory Lane

           

YNWA takes a look back at previous memorable away League meetings as we make our 68th League trip to Middlesbrough on Wednesday, and thirteenth to the Riverside Stadium. We have a fairly mixed record on Teesside, having won twenty, drawn 22 and been beaten 25 times.

           

Xabi’s day

Xabi Alonso played his hundredth League game for the reds in January 2008, as we were held to a 1-1 draw. He came on for Yossi Benayoun after an hour when we were a goal down, before Fernando Torres rescued a point with a long-range strike. We lost 2-0 on our most recent trip to the North East, with Xabi putting through his own net in February 2009. Tuncay also netted as Martin Škrtel had a rare outing at right-back.

           

Goalless visits

Steve Finnan helped us claim a clean sheet in his hundredth League outing for the reds in November 2006. We kicked off our League campaign with another goalless draw in August 2005. Ugo Ehiogu was sent off for the home side, the first of fifteen opposition players to be dismissed against the reds that season.

           

Other recent defeats

We lost 2-0 in November 2004, with future red Bolo Zenden nabbing one of the goals, after Chris Riggott had netted the 500th goal against us in the Premier League. Two years earlier, Gareth Southgate pounced after the ball broke free as Jerzy Dudek collided with Sami Hyypiä, to end our twelve-match unbeaten League run. This was the 200th goal we had conceded under Gérard Houllier’s sole charge.

           

Out with the old, in with the new

Our final trip to Ayresome Park came in March 1993 and ended in a 2-1 win, with Don Hutchison bagging his tenth and last reds goal. Steve Nicol put through his own net with Ian Rush netting a late winner. We lost 2-1 on our first visit to the Riverside Stadium in November 1995, with Neil Ruddock grabbing our consolation and future red Nick Barmby scoring the winner a minute later as keeper David James played his hundredth League game for us.

           

Reds debutants

Kenny Dalglish scored on his League debut in August 1977, as we drew 1-1. David Fairclough made his reds bow in our November 1975 meeting, as Terry McDermott netted the only goal of the game. Alf Arrowsmith debuted in a 2-0 defeat in October 1961, to end a run of twelve games unbeaten since the start of this promotion season. Centre-half Dick White unfortunately put through his own net twice!

           

Left-winger Alan A’Court made his debut in our 3-2 win back in February 1953. South African half-back Hugh Gerhardi also made his reds bow, the first of just six senior outings. Inside-right Sammy Smyth scored his first goal, with Billy Liddell and Phil Taylor also on target.

           

Trebles

Fabrizio Ravanelli scored a hat-trick for Middlesbrough in a 3-3 draw in August 1996, in the opening game of the season. Stig Inge Bjørnebye struck the first of his four reds goals, with John Barnes and Robbie Fowler also on target. Future red Stewart Downing was one of the ball-boys that day. Walter Tinsley grabbed a treble for Boro in April 1914 in a 4-0 victory, and then again the following March as we lost 3-0. Centre-half Walter Wadsworth made his reds debut in the 1915 game. Joe Hewitt scored his first reds hat-trick in our 5-1 win in November 1905, with John Carlin adding a brace. This remains our biggest ever win on Teesside. Joe’s brother Charlie, who later joined the reds, struck for the home side.

           

Big wins

Peter Beardsley, Ray Houghton, John Aldridge and Steve McMahon all struck in a handsome 4-0 triumph in March 1989. A less happy visit came in August 1929 when we suffered our worst ever defeat on Teesside, being thumped 5-0 in another season opener with forward Alan Scott playing the first of his four senior reds games.

           

Boxing Day in Boro

We lost our first Boxing Day game since 1986 as Christian Karembeu bagged the only goal of the game in 2000. Two years earlier, Vegard Heggem’s wonder goal, his first ever reds strike, rounded off a 3-1 win after Michael Owen’s slight touch on a Jamie Carragher shot opened the scoring. Brian Deane equalised before Jamie Redknapp put us back in front after Mark Schwarzer was penalised for picking up a back pass. David James was playing his 200th League game for us.

           

Other player milestones

Vladimír Šmicer made his hundredth reds appearance as we won 2-1 in March 2002, with Emile Heskey and John Arne Riise on target. Centre-half Tom ‘Tiny’ Bradshaw played his hundredth reds League game in September 1932 as we won 1-0 thanks to a Gordon Gunson strike. In April 1924, Joseph Keetley made the last of his nine senior reds appearances as we drew 1-1, with Danny Shone netting our goal.

           

Another ground

We won 2-0 at Linthorpe Road in February 1903, with Sam Raybould and Edgar Chadwick on target in our only meeting at this venue. We paid our first visit to Ayresome Park in April 1904, going down 1-0.

Beach ball ground too.

 

As others have said, that was Sunderland.

 

The lad who threw it was right in front of me. I genuinely feared that he was going to get filled in. He was probably 15 as well

James Pearce : "LFC haven't won on Teeside in last 7 attempts - taking just 4 pts out of a possible 21 and scoring just once" :(

 

Anny Road has had more of them boxed roast dinners in a single trip than we've won points there in the last 7 games. 

 

That 0-0 draw when Pongolle gets hoofed straight up in the air in injury time was up there with one of the worst matches I've been too.

I was talking to an irish lad in the supporters club after a match last season. He had got up in the middle of the night to drive a minibus full of lads to the ferry and then to Anfield. He was that knackered that he hadn't realised he had odd shoes on till we pointed it out
