League position: 11th Unused substitutes: Michael Ricketts and Bradley Jones The FA Premier League's Dubious Goals Committee ruled on the following: Middlesbrough’s goal against Everton on 27th March 2004 was in fact an own goal (Joseph Yobo) and has therefore not been credited to Joseph Desire Job. [re: Circular 8 –2/2/2004] Most sources credited the goal to Joseph Desire-Job. Although invoved in the goalmouth scramble, video evidence revealed that at no point did he make contact with the ball - it was scooped into the net by Joseph Yobo.
