Nice to actually think about the game… They’re a good side, with limited bollocks, as proven by their fifth place finish in a two horse race. We can’t afford to not show up again, but an early Saints goal really would set us on our way and calm everyone down. Need a big performance from Scienza. He could literally win the tie for us if he wants to. We also need to find a way to stop Boro getting between our lines so easily and feeding their two wide forwards. I’d be tempted to play Charles, Downes and Jander. Fully expecting it to be a bit more nervy than the WBA game a few years ago.

All these articles appearing the day before the game, just like Friday. Quelle surprise. Hatchet job from the NE based journalists, all orchestrated by Boro officials who are petrified they’ve blown their big chance.

They are completely and utterly batshit mental. Do they seriously think the EFL will kick us out the playoffs AFTER we’ve already won 😂😂 Just imagine the consequences of them actually doing that. I knew northerners were thick, but blimey.

I think most of them today were clapping in an airport terminal at 2.30 on a Monday afternoon. Say no more.

They’re the most pathetic, wet fanbase I’ve ever had the misfortune of seeing. You can really, really tell that they don’t have a proper rival. Absolute freaks.

All these other clubs were strangely quiet until now weren’t they? It’s completely irrelevant other clubs getting involved anyway as there’s fuck all evidence for that except ‘they played well’. We’ll be judged for one incident of an intern looking over a hill using an iPhone. Read that sentence again, couple it up with Boro fans demanding expulsion and 10 point deductions, and then realise they’ve collectively lost their minds.

They’re so hysterical I’m genuinely expecting some of them to be advocating jail time for our staff. It sums the weak little sweethearts up that I wouldn’t be surprised to see it suggested.

Absolutely. The weird little freaks have lost their mind so much they don’t know which way to turn.

Boro fans have convinced themselves that today’s result will be null and void and they’ll be heading into Tuesday with a 3-0 lead.

They looked completely demoralised at full time. That was their big chance and they know it. In the end, disappointed not to win the game with those two great chances, but we’ll take them back to St Mary’s. In case anyone was unsure too, Middlesbrough is an absolutely fucking cesspit. Cold, miserable, bleak place.

That’s an incredible half of football. They’ll only have themselves to blame if we win this tie, how on earth aren’t they 4 up?

Team tomorrow then lads, what we thinking? Peretz, Bree, Stephen, THB, Manning, Downes, Jander, Scienza, Azaz, Fellows, Larin. 1-2 Saints

Into them Saints. Win at any cost 💪

Why will it? So a few of their mutants are riled up now. It’s hardly going to be Galatasaray. I’m probably more confident of winning now than ever.
