Are you ready for us? #COYY #OTBC @NorwichCityFC #excited #anxious — Sam Claflin (@samclaflin) May 25, 2015 The first half commentary. Jerome hits the bar for Norwich #MIDNOR Boro break straight down the other end and also hit the bar. What a game already — 888sport (@888sport) May 25, 2015 Phenomenal first 20 followed by a controlled, comfortable last 25. Jerome, tettey, wes, howson all outstandingly good — Holtamania (@Holtamania) May 25, 2015 The first goal. JEROME YESSSS #OTBC — Jack Kennedy (@JFK_24) May 25, 2015 That was horrendous defending from Ayala, lost the ball and just stood and watched Jerome — Reece Juggins (@Reece_WWFC) May 25, 2015 Cameron Jerome had time to survey the situation, draft a detailed map and file an extensive memo on the best options available. — Michael Caley (@MC_of_A) May 25, 2015 How was Cameron Jerome given so much space in the Boro penalty area? For all their defensive qualities, onus on Boro's flair players now — Manish Bhasin (@_manishbhasin) May 25, 2015 The second goal. GOAL: Whittaker's lovely ball plays in Redmond and he makes no mistake to put @NorwichCityFC 2-0 up at #Wembley within 15mins! #PlayOffFinal — Wembley Stadium (@wembleystadium) May 25, 2015 Redmond and jerome deserve to play in the prem 👏🏼 — King C ✌️ (@CoreyTurrell) May 25, 2015 The half time thoughts. Boro could do with a Delia Smith style inspirational half time team talk. — J (@JamieJG94) May 25, 2015 I can’t speak let alone tweet. This 45 minutes wil be the slowest ever. #OTBC #COYY — Stephen Fry (@stephenfry) May 25, 2015 *No surprise that Delia started trending. Back to the match. Yes Boro keep crossing it in, it hasn't worked the first 78 times it might work next time tho lads — George ✭ (@GJS2411) May 25, 2015 58 mins – Boro finally create their first real chance of the game as Tomlin picks out Bamford, but his shot on the turn is saved #Boro #NCFC — Dan Church (@DJChurch94) May 25, 2015 Stat of the game. Thank you to @Boro and @NorwichCityFC fans for their fantastic support at @wembleystadium today! #PlayOffFinal pic.twitter.com/pWveEl9ey7 — The Football League (@football_league) May 25, 2015 Future Premier League rivals having their say. Has anyone seen any Boro fans? Last seen bragging before kick off about how they were gonna take 6 points off of Sunderland next season — Jack (@jacklemore123) May 25, 2015 Excellent, Norwich is a much, much easier away trip than M'boro — Aitch (@HowardTHFC) May 25, 2015 Optimism from the Boro fans. This last half an hour is gonna be unreal, get kike up top with bamford now!!! — Adam Revuelta (@Revvi44) May 25, 2015 #BoroLive Swapping Kike for Bamford isn't enough. We need to fill that gap. — ChilliRed (@ChilliRed) May 25, 2015 …and (some) Patrick Bamford fans. I still believe that Patrick Bamford will play in the @premierleague next season even if #MiddlesbroughFC failed to win #PlayOffFinal ! — D È Z â„¢ (@ArunDez14) May 25, 2015 In the end… THAT'S IT! WE'VE DONE IT! WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE! #OurFinalStep pic.twitter.com/RjghbqG9xs — Norwich City FC (@NorwichCityFC) May 25, 2015
