Gloucester Saint

Out of a job soon like most of them are there. Very hollowed out, loss making operation even with the German takeover.

Do it and Saints follow suit with legal action, that horrific rag the Barclay brothers have ruined will go out of business. Win win.

Paul Allen thread probably as well.

To be fair I’d give them £5m + him if it got him off our hands for a season. I might even dislike Boro slightly less.

Needs to work on his twitch.

The Billingham effect.

There was certainly one in a Matalan tracksuit gesturing at the home sections from Tuesday night. Can’t recall which thread it was one but @Miltonaggro posted it IIRC

BBC and Sky have been almost as bad as BBC Radio Tees and their local rag. Then Telegraph, Mail and Guardian. Hope the latter trio fold - they have very few staff left, AI is king - and BBC gets made into a subscription service.

Safe zone for when you fart after your pre-match pie and several pints.

Or might have been mistaken for the tree.

And then don’t brush their teeth 🦷 afterwards.

Club should have sent @6ft8saint instead - he’d have had a panoramic view of their training pitch.

They had a day out at York races by the sounds of it.

A welcome intervention even though belongs on the Hull match thread, just for the sheer normality of discussing that, rather than these mentalists from their Billingham-snogged hovel.

Wouldn’t trust it from there, 6 points either next time in EFL - contingent on Saturday’s result - or suspended. Won’t be the £5m fine they’re referring to either.

No disrespect to Nathan Wood but I agree.

If any refugees were sent there, they’d go mental. And insist the Kurdish smugglers gave them a return inflatable trip to Calais immediately,

Areas around Port Talbot are nicer though. Whereas Saltburn, Stockton, Darlington and Hartlepool are absolute luxury compared with Middlesbrough. We liked Darlington, Stockton has some superb pubs and a decent centre, Hartlepool has the quay and Saltburn has some great coastal scenery around it e.g. Staithes and traditional coastal town itself. No excuse for living in Middlesbrough unless you really are struggling in life.

Hence why Saints keeping their powder dry is the way to go. Gibson has been getting more and more wound up during this afternoon at Boro not being at the hearing - they’ve given their witness statement like any other hearing. Sky are equally stupid for pandering to him even this afternoon but you have to wonder if it’s backfiring on him and them.

And Steve Gibson and his hangers on in the local and national media have provided a clear contrast.

There’s actually some nice places in Liverpool though! City centre impressive and the city has views of Snowdonia. Compare that to Middlesbrough..

If Billingham rumbles and ignites that would do a far more effective job than than Russia ever could. It’d improve Middlesbrough far more than any amount of levelling up funding tbf.

Wonder how much Mel Morris paid him when he shook Derby down. Give your lunch money once though….

One member of the public who has probably worked hard for their match shouting abuse at another. From grown men. Steve Gibson, Hellberg, their MP, Sky, Telegraph, TalkSPORT, Mail, BBC and Guardian have really not done themselves any favours from initially being in the right and wronged. The latest tantrum over not being on the panel - they were never going to be nor should they - their voice is through their statement like any other hearing - is mind-boggling and Sky should not be encouraging Gibson further as they have been this afternoon. Time well tell, I have a feeling it’s backfired on them. But I hope I’m not wrong…

James Cordon turns his focus from Spygate onto nerves about his own club’s make or break fixture to avoid relegation at Newcastle. Which he’s overcoming through fine dining.
