Interstingly that Boro have a person sitting on the EFL board of directors Rick Parry Chair, Trevor Birch CEO then these guys, surely the Boro guy will have to recluse himself ?

Yeach Jesse Marsch was giving him lots of praise in the last call up and said he just needs to keep doing what he is doing. He's probably been even better since then, i expect him to defo be in the squad.

Yeah well i think Gibson is gonna take this as far as possible 2019–2022: Middlesbrough FC (via Steve Gibson) vs. Derby County (and related parties) What happened: In May 2019, Middlesbrough (with Gibson driving the action) launched legal proceedings against Derby County. They claimed Derby's alleged breaches of EFL Financial Fair Play (Profitability and Sustainability) rules — particularly the sale-and-leaseback of Pride Park stadium — unfairly allowed Derby to gain a sporting advantage. This allegedly cost Boro a play-off place in the 2018–19 Championship season. Details: The claim was reportedly valued at around £40–45 million in compensation. Gibson publicly raised the stakes, threatened/ pursued the action, and engaged in direct talks with former Derby owner Mel Morris. Outcome: In February 2022, an "accord" (settlement/resolution) was reached through private conversations between Gibson and Morris. The exact terms were not publicly disclosed, but it resolved the claims by Middlesbrough against Derby (and others), allowing Derby's administration process to move forward.

If we beat Boro over 2 legs the guys deserve a break and id suggest a nice couple of days golf at Rockliffe Hall. Also for the attention of Saints coaching staff - DJI Mavic 3 Pro flys above 400ft which is the height drones cannot be heard and are very hard to see (i would paint it sky blue to make it invisible) and films no issue in 4k and can fly for 50mins. Its better to pay the fine for flying in restricted airspace as a "analyst" than being caught by an opposition football club. I'm more disgusted we got caught, absolute amateur hour.

I think he did train but will be on the bench

even better I like that we do this shit cos I'm sure everyone else does

I don't think so, he was in plain site not on the training grounds and left when asked. Will be some not in the spirit bollox but he wasn't hiding and was on a different property.

apparently we have 14 days to respond to the efl complaint so I expect no update or comments from anyone until we've played both games.

Question i have how did they get a picture of our guy

Think we will take a draw or a narrow win but since I'm a famous oracle of results I will dig back into my tricks of old reliable gonna defo happen scorelines and say.. 2-0 saints

bro what I want to know more about is Atlantic Puffin and is he a player we should sign in the summer

ok but in terms of football he has been way above expectations and only had 3/4 weeks when he couldn't stop a fart and was probably player of the match v city

this is all setting up very nicely for Tom Fellows to score his first goal of the season with the winner in the playoff final.

Ally Mccoist raving about him and thought he should get man of the match.
