LIttle known fact...the toothbrush was invented in middlesbrough. If it had been invented anywhere else it would have been known as a teethbrush.

"Romsey lad" 🤣 "Cheer up grizzling-Gibbo Oh what can it mean to a sad smoggie bastard and a shit football team"

That's gonna cause some angst up on Teeside...36,000 tickets, west as expected. "Cheer up grizzling-Gibbo Oh what can it mean to a sad smoggie bastard and a shit football team"

I can only think that Gibbo's-Grizzlers must be sitting on some more dynamite stuff and keeping their powder dry. They'd look right mugs if it really is just some scamp standing by a tree with an iPhone. I'm sure we'll hear how the boro coach was savagely attacked arriving at the stadium, about ballboy thugs and hurty words from Saints players and supporters. There was one fella towards the front of block 20 Tuesday night who lit a flare straight after the final whistle, a photographer (probably boro as in that corner) turned round smiled at the fan and encouraged him to wave it around for his lens. The flare was then handed to some young mush to have a go who was also papped. Wonder where those pics ended up? They must have something more juicy to back up their hysterics, surely?

I thought that was the case but in this year’s League Cup Final City had the west, Arsenal east. No doubt we’ll get the west…if all goes to plan - a niggling doubt remains that a decision could be made to wipe the first leg as #spygate and the subsequent manufactured outrage was over that game and they do this ‘3-0 home win’ bullshit which would put #crygate back into the final. Can of worms though so hopefully unlikely, lawsuits all over the place if that or similar were to happen.

…take a brave man to fook with him.

I'm guessing all these innocent smoggie victims voting aren't watching SKY on their hookie firesticks and cheating broadcasters out of revenue? In the meantime a certain golf course near Middlesbrough has had a sudden influx of new member applications from Wrexham, Derby, Norwich, Birmingham, Swansea, Bristol, Sheffield, Preston, Stoke........... You’re gonna need to build a bigger wall Gibbo

That'll do. Seemed really tense inside the stadium during the game, they're a decent side but not good enough to deal with us. Time for them to stop grizzling and get on flattening that hill and building a big new fence.

I’m sure the Met are breathing a sigh of relief (well, until the prospect of Millwall/West Ham next season) now that thousands of them and us could have been sharing the same underground to and from Wembley if we were also to make it. That would have been…fun.

“Cry in a minute, they’re gonna cry in a minute, cry…” Their fans and manager may have to get used to hearing that a bit now

Quite witty with the hill bit…but if I were picky, maybe “spy” rather than “scout”.

Just for the Boro fans…

Hopefully the more hysterical tarts in their fanbase are mostly online and not travelling south on Tuesday. We're in block 20 for this and they are gonna be a right fucking annoyance banging on and crying about it. Point and laugh is probably best.

They may feel they've fooked up their best opportunity to win this now, they pumped up their crowd and played the victim hoping it would give them the edge and it ain't worked. Hellberg wouldn't look round at Tonda when he went to shake his hand before kick-off, now he's softening his stance knowing the boot is on the other foot and will be expecting a bit of heat from our lot when they roll up at St Mary's. Let's make sure we give it back to them, we need to make it a hostile environment Tuesday night, whistling down any boro possession like that evening game against the skates years ago and just keep at it.

Then boro should be charged with fucking gross incompetence. How amateurish to do that prep in full view of the general public standing on a hill.

Particularly if we put them out and go up. It's been reported that promotion is now worth over £170m, that's what at stake. We'll get a £500,000+ fine and likely other sanctions if proved, all we need now is the cameras to pick out Redknapp in the crowd winking towards the directors box.

Nice to see John McGinn mocking boro with his goal celebration last night

They've been trying to whip their fans into a frenzy all week up there, this has taken it to the next level and the SFC team bus is now guaranteed a hostile welcome. Shoddy on our part if truth but if all turns out to be 'boro lead hoax it probably won't come to light until after and would have had the desired effect on spicing this up. Whatever happens up there, we need to give it back with interest on Tuesday. And I always quite liked Bob Mortimer too.

If anyone missed out 2 tickets have popped up as available…if you’re quick!

It's a crazy situation where they don't go on sale to members until after 11am this morning, it's been far too restrictive to try and sell tickets in such a short space of time. This window, where they'd have quickly sold out if it was earlier, leaves fans with little more than a day to sort travel and accommodation for a near 600 mile round trip and unhelpful early set-off for the lunchtime kick-off.

There was only 4 tickets available earlier this morning so probably has sold out by now. Always worth keeping an eye on though as the club do suddenly release a small number of corp/comp returns.

Logged in on my mobile a couple of mins before 12:30 and straight into the queue and in about 5mins after. First time it’s played up for me, had decent tickets selected a few times but kept chucking me out. Each time I went back to selecting seats were going rapidly. Was trying for Northam/Kingsland corner but had to settle on Chapel block 20 in the end. Not ideal but…

Good that we’ve reciprocated with ticket numbers but a bit crap for boro fans we couldn’t have agreed on pricing. Expecting a raucous start to the game, they’ll have it in for Azaz, dog’s abuse from the crowd and maybe a few edgy challenges flying in. If no more than a narrow defeat I still fancy us at home. Draw would be fine up there.

Maybe just a shame then that a few of our more classless types were serenading the locals to "you're so northern you eat off the floor" and "Preston's a shithole....etc". And it's no worse than the surroundings of St Mary's with a great big park across the road! There was a friendly steward greeting everyone who walked through our turnstile, and then again as we walked out. Deserved better than some of that bullshit.

It was mildly amusing after their PA announcement asking home fans to hang around as there would ba a player lap of honour for the home fans just before Larin knocked in the third and half the PNE crowd promptly fooked off. Our lot then pissed them off more after the final whistle by outstaying out welcome celebrating with the Saints fans while their players had to just wait in the corner until we eventually sloped off. Good game, too many free headers for them down our end first half, great double save from Peretz to offset the slip, their keeper narrowly got away with one just after our first. Great support but stop asking Tonda to give you a wave while the game's going on, he ain't interested and even gestured at one point that he was focusing on the game. Cracking day out.
