Season review

[edit]

League review

[edit]

Middlesbrough had an appalling start to their season, losing four of their first five games (their worst start since the 1984–85 season) and taking only one point. This set the foundations for a very patchy season.

Middlesbrough hovered around the relegation spots for the first third of the season. However, they eventually found some form through November and December and went unbeaten for eight games which took them away from the relegation zone.

Middlesbrough's form was again inconsistent after Christmas, but they managed to pick up enough points to finish in a respectable 11th place.

Domestic cup review

[edit]

The league cup campaign was the highlight of the season for Middlesbrough. It was one that would bring them their first major trophy in their 128-year history.

It started in late September with a home match againstBrighton and Hove Albion and Boro low down in the league due to a terrible start. Middlesbrough made hard work of it against lower league opposition, but managed to scrape through with a 94th minute extra-time goal fromMalcolm Christie.

The next round saw Boro comfortably beatWigan Athletic 2–1 away with goals fromMaccarone andMendieta to set up a fourth round home match against Everton.

The match against Everton was a closely contested affair, which ended 0–0 after extra time - penalties were needed to decide the winner. Middlesbrough won the shoot-out 5–4, withMark Schwarzer saving fromLeon Osman and Mendieta converting the winning penalty.

The quarter finals saw Middlesbrough faceTottenham Hotspur atWhite Hart Lane. Spurs led most of the match through a first-minuteDarren Anderton goal. It took an 86th-minute equaliser fromMichael Ricketts to send the game into extra time. No goals were scored in extra time, meaning Boro had a penalty shoot out for the second successive round. The shoot out went into sudden death, but afterMauricio Taricco's penalty hit the post,Franck Queudrue converted his penalty to win the game.

Boro's semi final was a two legged match against a youthfulArsenal team. The first leg went Middlesbrough's way with them taking a 1–0 lead thanks to aJuninho goal. Arsenal bossArsène Wenger chose a few more experienced players for the vital second leg, but to no avail: Boro won 2–1 on the night for a 3–1 aggregate win.

The final was on 29 February 2004 againstBolton Wanderers at theMillennium Stadium. The game started in the best way possible for Boro, with goals fromJoseph Desire-Job andBolo Zenden giving them an early 2–0 lead. A mistake fromMark Schwarzer letKevin Davies get one back, and the score remained 2–1 at half time. Both teams had chances to score in the second half, but the score stayed the same, giving Boro their first ever major trophy.

TheFA Cup campaign wasn't as successful. After a comfortable 2–0 win at home toNotts County, Boro were drawn against Arsenal in the fourth round. They lost the match 4–1 sending them out of the competition.
