Willo of Whiteley

Someone said he didn’t put in a performance against City? Fucking lol! Given we don’t play higher than our penalty area what was he meant to do. Poor sod was defending for his life with the other ten players. 😂

Good promotion to be fair! 99% confident that the EFL will do nothing to amend us and the play-offs. That would bring the game into disrepute because suddenly we could claim all sorts. We could claim everyone does it, total fabrication from Boro, Leeds punishment is this so why is ours that - all sorts. Legal disputes would be ongoing for months or even years. The EFL can’t afford to deal with that in terms of time or money.

The club also have to be very careful if they go down the “lone wolf” route that they’re protecting the individual involved. This could be life altering for them otherwise! Hounded by fans and media, sadly the world we live in nowadays.

It would almost be funnier if our press officer came out after the same question five times in a row and said “Are you really that thick? There is due process and it would be wrong to comment”. I don’t blame them for walking out, not storming as journos reported. They were absolutely hounded with the same bullshit questions time and time again.

5/6/7-0 and maybe the media frenzy will look different. I’m more nervous about this game. I think we will win, but the media, not local, national now, all what Saints to be punished and with that in mind - fail.

Who on here was bashing one out furiously saying he should be our next manager? Basically Russell Martin, got to a good position then shat the bed when it mattered.

The amount of journos on Twitter scathing at Tonda and Sibley walking out the post-match presser is ridiculous. They’re all retweeting each other now saying about lengthy bans, second leg at Boro, a bye for Boro etc. Big wankfest amongst the media for this.

Do you?

We are clearly guilty, if the EFL have charged us they’ve either been extremely rushed and rash, or they’ve already got sufficient evidence. But it is amusing to theorise over the ridiculous demands of the Boro brigade. Or humour any form of rumour in the meantime.

If we win 5-0 then the story gets put to bed

Can you imagine if it turns out the punishment is minimal and it is some stupid intern. Are we going to get mass apologies from the media, Troy Deeney? It would be hilarious if it turned out it was all a hoax and some Boro fuckwit (which it turns out there are many) actually set all this up. 😂

Saints or Boro?

He got sent to the U18’s. 👀

They’ve got so wound up they forget about the tie altogether. They need to regroup quickly. All that said we were far from perfect.

I think Middlesbrough have absolutely shit the bed today. They riled the fans up, the team were seen to be going 100 miles an hour for the first half and didn’t capitalise. Second half they were pretty ordinary by the sounds of it, and nearly lost it. The manager sounds dejected and is now throwing the “it’s unacceptable for Southampton” even more than he previously was. Pre-game he played it down massively. Their fans sound dejected and angry and they sound nervous ahead of Tuesday night. Rattled northerners are the funniest.

That’ll be in the 2026 “Did not happen of the year” awards. Anyone on Twitter will get that 😂

Troy Deeney has said on CBS he wants Boro to batter Saints. He’d know how.

Guessing he’d broken in, no way a Boro fan could afford a house in Cheshire

Ah this’ll be the next story: Saints manager storms out under pressure 😂

This feels reminiscent of two years ago. Cagey first leg all round, second leg hopefully better

Matsuki needs to start ahead of Fellows 100%

I wonder if he’ll feel the same after we knock them out on Tuesday

What a film! Although I watched Mortimer the other week and forgot how horrific that was 😂

We all would’ve taken that after the first half 😉

Nearly!
