Could be that winner of 3rd v 6th gets home team status, usually its team that finished 3rd but Hull have won that by beating Millwall

He is, just been kept back a few years

Will Still era, we probably had an analyst watching Hull rugby league training by mistake

If there's any truth in this i say we've been done up in a honeytrap, they knew someone would be there and were all set to take a photo and have an evidence pack with EFL by end of same day , certain reporters close to Gibson then went straight on the attack. If there's any new evidence that needs to be submitted to us in full with time to review and gain proper legal advice before turning up at any hearing

He is the propaganda

Propaganda really does work, been incredible coordinated approach You've had hypocritical cunts like Henry Winter piling in on Saints when he was playing quite a different tune for Leeds a few years back.

There's definitely something odd with delaying the tickets and confirmation of the kick off time

Would love that mate, win the final convincingly, then for the bantz let analyst Will Salt lead the team up the steps to the Royal Box and lift the trophy

Im confused why Middlesbrough are appointing lawyers in their case against Southampton, they are acting like prosecutors in a court of law rather than just 'reporting the incident to EFL' https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/nick-de-marco-middlesbrough-hire-33939191?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwdGRjcARxqExjbGNrBHGn2mV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHjTJB4BA2sdHDw-SGNCP12tQ8d-VMi2JQKOsr8UTq1C_ZpeE5_YiO_qxEtQ4_aem_mv4Ad_Vj7UA63Bgo9oBSuw Throwing absolutely everything at it arent they rather than just trying to beat us on the pitch

We can forfeit that one as their compensation

Celtic will get them decent viewing figures

Are you genuinely appalled? I've known people that work in the game, some of the stories and way worse than this, especially when it comes to transfer dealings and youth player recruitment, analysts move around within clubs and will know various tricks , getting caught and the publicity is the issue rather than clubs getting involved in mischief

Must win game. I need 12 months off from Middlesbrough nutters, could not face playing them again next season

Feels like its all coordinated this morning, very odd, huge PR exercise being managed

Assume we'll be West side of Wembley and have all our usual pubs, regular visitors now

Can only assume if Millwall were in final they might have used a 1pm ko, but no reason why this this can't be 3pm Sky might prefer 5.15 which seems to be optimum time for viewing figures

I was only looking at Southampton to Waterloo line.

Im not sure if Hull will be able to sell 36k , should be enough tickets to go around, our end might just make non members at least we wont have Leeds fans going on about trying to buy in our end this time. For once I think no engineering works on the trains , SWR need to put a load of additional services on again and no silly "please dont travel" announcements

Are Middlesbrough also selling just in case?

Ironically its Roy Keanes son in law thats helping us instill this winning mentality

Hull have to start as favourites, they've beaten us twice this season and Boro trying to get Harwood-Bellis banned could weaken us. Thought they were superb 2nd half at Millwall , amazing job with a team made up mostly of free transfers, Oli McBurnie always seems to have a good game against us Looking forward to another visit to Wembley

I love it. Weve had Man City fans crying that our fans were a bit mean to them after the semi final, and Middlesbrough fans going on about never forgetting this as if the clubs have a rivalry now , its completely taken over their tiny minds. We're not here to make friends lads.

Like a deranged stalker Middlesbrough fans are now harassing the EFL

I’ve just called the EFL complaints team. After reading Southampton’s CEO’s press release stating that Southampton are asking the EFL to give them time, and bear with them, while they held an ‘internal review’ (kick the situation into the long grass in the hope that this situation won’t hinder their attempts to make it into the premier league) I decided to register my complaint. My complaint was that the EFL should not give them any time to conduct any internal review. Southampton have admitted what they’d done, the EFL had already charged them, and so why did everyone have to wait until Southampton held this ‘internal review’ before the disciplinary body, imposed their penalty upon Southampton? I told the EFL representative that it was a blatant delaying tactic. I also stated that me complaining, probably wouldn’t make a difference to anything in the greater scheme of things. However, I pointed out that I didn’t care about that. I told them I was making my complaint, because as a Middlesbrough supporter, I felt duty bound to do that in defence of the club I support. I also said I was complaining because what is happening here, goes against the ‘fair play’ ethos, that the game is constantly trying to champion. If you want to do the same as me, the EFL complaints department number is 01772325829. Their email is enquiries@efl.com. Make sure you give them your name and email address.
