A Small Town In Europe: Boro's 2005-2006 Season Review

A momentous season for Boro which saw the club reach the final of the UEFA Cup in dramatic fashion while also competing for domestic honours and in the Premier League.

[@joelthorpe4170]

The 2 seasons that always brings back good memories are the 97 promotion one and this one. And everything Juninho did in between lol

[@mitchsullo]

Beating Roma but not wigan is why McClaren was just a manager who had decent players.

[@hakc97again]

He's generally been better as a number 2 like he was under Jim Smith and Sir Alex

[@simongray2916]

We love you Boro

Great video and really nice editing

[@borobri1980]

The West Ham semi final was an absolute sickener especially after Dean Ashton assaulted Schwarzer and we ended up with Brad Jones in goal!!!!

[@keirbaker1142]

Some shocking goalkeeping here, but lots of great memories!

Middlesbrough poor in the league in terms of consistency unlike the year before but my god the did a crazy things in the UEFA cup. Sevilla just too good but still they were runners up in Europe

[@chaytorj04]

Gone but mot forgotten ugo. Utb 😊

[@jonathanb1406]

What's with the commentary on this? Did they have Ali re-record all his commentary for each clip as if it were live? Cause there's no chance he was this muted and calm if it was actually live.

[@youngdoctorcdt]

He cant have re recorded

[@jonathanb1406]

@@youngdoctorcdt Course he could have, this isn't new. I noticed the more of it I watched the more they seemed to use the actual live commentary with Bernie Slaven, and you can tell the difference between that and some of the commentary in the earlier clips, it's like night and day.

[@jonathanb1406]

​@Green Mills You're misunderstanding me. I know what Ali Brownlee was like, and he was never like this live, which is why the first few matches here are really noticeably weird, because he's clearly re-recorded commentary as though it were live after the fact, presumably for this season review, whenever it was released originally. To illustrate my point properly, listen to his incredibly matter of fact delivery of the commentary for any of the matches in the first fifteen minutes, and then skip to 16:30 for the commentary against Man Utd, and you'll see what he was _actually_ like giving live commentary. The channel put up a video of the 04-05 season review yesterday that features his live commentary in every match where you get the true sense that that's just how he was like for *every* match, he was incredibly animated and passionate and that's why everyone loved him, so having him do this weird muted commentary used at the start of this is weird.

[@nickframe5075]

@@jonathanb1406 Completely agree. Jimmy Floyd scoring at St James on 36:08. Taking the lead with just six minutes left? Ali would have gone beserk. This has been re-recorded with a more muted reaction.

[@robthemodYT]

Credits say Written and Presented by Ali Brownlee, so maybe he was unhappy with the earlier clips in the season? Or maybe there were rights issues and all they had for the start were MOTD clips and they couldn't clear them?

[@BooklessT]

Yakubu, Viduka, Hasselbaink. And Ali doing commentary. Does it get better?

that commentator needs to learn how to do his job a lot better, screaming like England just won the world cup with every goal

He’s a massive Boro fan, and it’s commentary for Boro fans, what do you expect?
