"Unlucky Boro."

Arsenal are consistently good at at least one thing. Beating Middlesborough. How unfortunate then, that in the month of January, Boro will face their bogey team no fewer than four times. Yes, that's right. Four times in one month.

10 Jan: Arsenal v Boro (Premiership)
20 Jan: Arsenal v Boro (Carling Cup)
24/25 Jan: Arsenal v Boro (FA Cup)
28 Jan: Boro v Arsenal (Carling Cup)

I predict Arsenal's unbeaten domestic run to continue at least another four games. Sorry Steve...

I reckon Arsenal might lose tomorrow at goodison with rooney repeating where he started of last season! He scored home and away agaisnt them last season...

Boro got a 3-0 win at highbury couple seasons back so it aint all doom and gloom.

Well if we play as well as we did against leeds then we'll win even if rooney is on the pitch.

Since McClaren took charge, Boro have conceded 15 goals to the Árse, and scoreed only one...

Surely they can't lose all 4?

It'd be really funny to see Boro win all four of them, but the odds of that happening is probably a million to one.

I hope Arsenal beat them in the Premiership to help Villa and it would be good to play them in the Carling Cup final.

we are going on a pretty good run, but thats when these strange results come out of right field (baseball term:))

hope we can do a quadruple over them, including the young guns over the 2 legs...

That reminds me of a few years ago, when in the space of 10 days (or something roundabouts), Wimbledon and Tottenham played each other 3 times!

I remember it mostly for the funny "Can't Kick, Won't Kick" comic-short in the Daily Mirror.

We (Spurs) also played Chelsea 3 times in a week. In the Premiership, Worthington Cup Semi First leg and FA cup quarters.

The WC was the leg before we famously beat the 5-1, never forgotten the moment Colourless walked into my house to watch the game about a minute into the match, saw Iverson scored and tried to walk straight back out again without saying anything. :cD

No that wasn't how it happened. I still had faith in my team at 1-0. I said, "okay if it gets to 4-0 i'm leaving." But you didnt allow it. Forssell got the goal of the game anyway, so i got to see that!

Funny you didn't mention the other 2 times we played you. Aggregate score; 8-0 was it?

It wasn't 3 in a week. The WC semi was like a month before and then it was 2 in a week. Both 4-0. Jimmy got the perfect hat-trick in the second match: one left-foot curler, one-right foot curler and a header.

Well, thats a great start by the 'Boro, 'Only' losing 4-1 in their first of 4 meetings against Arsenal - the same scoreline by which the 'boro lost at the riverside earlier this season.

Great strategy Macca and goodluck in your remaining 3 fixtures against the gunners (you'll need it)
