Lovely image. Just the sort of image that would look nice on say... a big screen to welcome certain visitors to St Mary's.

Poster boy for the Scotland squad. Can't believe they didn't pick him. 🙂

He waits… That’s what he does… And I’ll tell you what; tick followed tock followed tick followed tock followed tick’ Ahab says “I don’t care who you are, here’s to your dream”. The old sailors return to the bar.’ “Here’s to you, Ahab” and the phat drummer hit the beat with all his heart’ "Here’s to waiting…" Saints 26/27 🙂

Sadly beaten 2-0 by the Wembley ground staff next Tuesday. Ground staff complain about the number of bottles around 'boro, and they are deducted 4 points for next season.

Caller 1: Hahahaha hahahaha. Caller 2:Hahahahahahahahaha Caller 3:Hahahahahahahaha Could we have a caller, not from Southampton. Caller 4:Boo hoo boo hoo boo hoo Hello Mr Gibson, bottler in chief...!

I'm enjoying the bittersweet stage. 🙂

Well done, that man.

Yup. They'd beaten us twice already. Although I was confident, it wasn't going to be easy. If we they'd beat us, it would have been fair and on the pitch. I just popped in to see the final score, and saw so much added time I thought the ref had 'boro connections, like everyone else involved in this. So, yes, it feels much better. I hope Gibson and his fellow bottlers are feeling even more gutted. Back into contention just to throw it away again. May they not recover, and get relegated next season.

Congratulations to Hull. McBurnie was a handful against us, so well done to him. 'Boro can get stuffed.

No response...SR flat lined. And that last spike was the Take That concert announcement.

Hull to take legal action if beaten. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cpvp8vv8e2zo

Certainly been thunderstruck over this. 🙂

Try not to wear any of your best footwear. Wouldn't want to see them damaged from the floods of tears (hopefully).

As I was reading along I had a moment thinking "I didn't know the players had joined the Unison union." 🙂

Just a thanks for that post. It gives us a lot more about what's been going on.

Thanks... "Maybe Dragin has sacked everyone, including the media team? " There. No one will ever know.

Player of the season? Scienza (both on field and for the encouragement, support and approach off it.) Most disappointing? Downs had a shocker. We can only hope it was a bit of a confidence nosedive, and that he'll be better. Best signing? Peretz. Seconds into his first appearance, and you could see the difference in our defence. Bree coming back helped too, as did Larin to give us a team shape finally. Worst signing? George Long, brought in for training, came very close to being our keeper. Biggest high (best moment) from the season? Those minutes where we thought we were getting to the FA Cup Final. Agree hit, without any weight of promotion attached. Biggest low (worst moment)? - BUT THIS CAN’T INCLUDE THE LAST THREE WEEKS AND BEING KICKED OUT THE PLAY OFFS - It not working out for Will Still and us lurking around the bottom. Most improved player? Tweaking the system to bring out Manning's strengths. Best match? QPR a good shout. Wrexham away when the playoff place sunk in. Leicester wins were cathartic. Your hope for the summer and next season? Having come so close, Tonda and the lads will rally round. Hopefully Dragon will see it now within our grasp and keep supporting us too.

The Russell Martin school of communications. Getting passed around everyone, before release. 🙂

Maybe Dragon has sacked everyone, including the media team? Maybe, they are not saying a thing that would impact either internal processes or any further external investigations? Maybe, they though the Take That news would cheer us all up?

Honestly trousers. I don't think anyone noticed the sharp U-turn in that post. A seamless edit. 🙂 Sadly, it does mean you'll not be picking up the @Matthew Le God editing to cover your tracks award this season. 🙂

I've caught the odd bit of the tributes to Pep. Their outstanding charges feels sharper after what we've gone through. Other than that, I've avoided the noise from the hacks about us. The next test will be how it feels should 'boro win, then their PL fortunes. Hopefully, I'll not give a jot. As for the wider PL, I've not missed not being in it. Simply the money it brings. And that gets hoovered up, trying to keep up. Looks as though even watching Valenciennes is going to be harder next season. I've my local team to support and connect to. Starts up Cheers Song ... Where everybody knows your name, And not because you're to blame You wanna be where you can see, They don't mention hiding behind a tree.

Yeah. The OP didn't make it clear it was specifically referring to Spygate, rather just your normal status. 🙂

Really sorry to hear that Willo.

If you look closely, there Will Salt behind one of the trees.

I'll be disappointed if this isn't one of the stories of resiliance and perseverance that the club put on the website to help get past this. 🙂
