Your wife? Thats my girlfriend!

Harsh decision considering the Celtic player was effectively pushing up against him .

The only thing is the whole narrative will still be around spygate. I hope Tonda and the team keep themselves focused and be ready for the game. Won't hear a peep about Hull and their late payments of transfers but will get the classic zero to hero story. Dont get me wrong they've turned it around from last season to this one. However I'm sure its a regular occurrence where there is always one team that is a surprise for the playoffs.

Jander when he's on it, is a machine.

Need to tie him down with a new contract.

What a sanctimonious dick. Since the story broke Boro have massively played up being the victims of one the most heinous sporting crimes ever. Even with this as motivation they couldn't beat Saints and flopped their own season.

I wondered why Tonda started Charles. This was why!

Fucking get in. What a crazy match. Saints got swept up in with the emotion and everything that went on. This team is tough though.

Interesting with Charles starting. I'd have thought we'd need Downes first. Matsuki back, let's hope he can do the biz.

Hope Downes and Jander are on it today. Keep calm, play our game and hopefully Azaz, Scienza and the rest of the team are up for it from the off.

Looked like the player just got a touch

I'm so confused now. Boro will be fired up at the injustice. Saints will be fired up for being demonised. Boro manager will have set up something new for the team. Tonda will have countered it (not via spying....) Dont we just end up at square one?!

Pah, kicked out of the league?! We should own up to it and dissolve the club right now!

During covid, didnt Newcastle skive off a game against Saints, citing the illness as an excuse and then waited till their players got better? I thought they were cunts at the time but cant recall Saints fans asking for points deductions and sporting sanctions, unless I missed it.

Chant for Tuesday: I always feel like Southampton's watching meeee! 🎶 🎶

As another poster said, I do wonder if the EFL will try and make an example out of Saints. If so, I hope they drag it out and push back against anything crazy.

Saints should go and flog themselves to God as the crime has been so heinous. Incompetent that Saints got caught but this holier than thou attitude from Boro and media is a complete piss take.

Nah I'd rather have a mundane 2-0 win!

A handful have really gone to town. Referencing F1, not sure how you can compare a technical sport like that to football. And somebody saying QPR were fined £40m. I dont even know what the context is there.

That'll do. Got away with it in the first half. Improved in the second. Lets hope they build on that for the second leg

Very odd listless performance. In fairness, spysoccer gate has really given the Boro players motivation. They've been all over Saints. Larin having a hard game.

Up the MOSSAINTS!

The enshitification of councils getting worse is here. Years of austerity and government cut backs. Now there will be a number of minority led councils where potentially shit won't get done. People voted as they did, I just wonder who they'll blame when nothing happens.

The stories are inconsistent. Matey was in the bush / Matey was on top of a hill. Had a phone / had spy equipment. Matey was an idiot though if he didnt see people walking up towards him on the hill. Surely at that point he should have just retreated.

This must go on all the time in various forms across the leagues. Boro acting as if they're angels and have been mortally wronged. Yes, not a great look and generally incompetent from Saints for not being more discreet. Could have done without the distraction.
