Boro can hold their heads high, they were never outclassed by Arsenal and on another day, with a bit of luck, it would have been Boro on their way to the Millennium Stadium.
The Boro fans were magnificant and completely outsung their Cockney counterparts who could only muster a cheer in the last ten minutes when they thought they might win it.
Boro should take heart from this defeat and look forward to a bright future, this is the type of game we want to be playing every week, instead of scrapping in the relegation zone.
Come on Boro, we are proud of you.
