This day 1974 our 1st top flight derby for 20 years

[Erimus74]

When we played Newcastle at AP, the mightty Boro losing out in a 5 goal christmas day fixture

Unfortuantly goals were hard to come by as both teams drew a blank, with the mighty Boro having the best of the chances but not converting them, it was only the 5th time we had failed to score that season as we enjoyed life back in the top flight & should have done so much better, IMHO mind
