There's a big hole where Downes should be.

Saints shapeless. Boro could be out of sight inside 15 minutes.

Dreadful start. 0-1.

Have they turned that pitch into a swamp again?

Charles instead of Downes. Brave.

Aren't Boro doing the equivalent of surrounding the ref and demanding he shows their opponent a red card? Certainly unsporting and worth a punishment.

That would have happened more than 72 hours before the game where penalties would be a factor. This lot are idiots.

Brexit and Nigel Fagash supporters. Says it all really.

Good question but I'd say Saints acted in good faith by putting up our alleged spy in Gibson's own hotel. Can't say better than that really.

Allow me to be the first that I really couldn't give a monkey's if the boot was on the other foot.

Good job I didn't then.

It is but "They left their back gate ajar so actually it's their fault that I stood outside and took a picture of it through the gap" would be closer to what happened.

If the spy had been watching penalties in the event that they were needed then that places them outside the 72 hours window. No problem. 😎

Did they? There was no evidence of that in the first half.

So they were spying on him then?

So does VAR.

There's a lot of those on the Guardian these days.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/may/10/southampton-spygate-middlesbrough-championship-playoffs They're all at it now. Any chance that Saints could join in and accuse others of lurking in trees at Staplewood?

I'd hate to be facing a jury of some on here. 😇

So far there's an allegation, a charge, a screaming mob and a "no comment" in response. If there's ever proof of an offence being committed or a guilty plea being entered give us a shout then. In the meantime I'll refrain from beating myself with a punishment whip.

Dreadful free kick. Have to be happy with 0-0 after that first half but disappointed not to get a goal in the 2nd.

Manning with a free kick into the box. Get it on target someone.

Criminal that Saints haven't managed to nick this.

Close from Edozie. Great break.

Saints passing still a bit too loose for my liking.
