Shit, have we got to the point now where we can't even hold onto our local journalists? Has he been tapped up by Tache Monthly?

Well we've heard them now and they sound like cunts.

I'm not sure how doing Hitler salutes and throwing missiles at the police helps Henry's family, but then again this isn't really about Henry. This is the civil unrest, faux patriotism, harnessed indignation and rage that Farage and Robinson instigate to fuel their careers. Rent-a-riot is on tour, coming to any grievance with a potential racist element near you soon - you won't even have to ask Nigel or Stephen for details, they'll tell you where to riot, and if you're easily-led and confused by simple concepts, you'll go and smash up innocent neighbourhoods, wrapped in a British flag, celebrating Hitler. Perhaps instead we could bang up the killer and his family that helped him, and let Henry's family have some peace so they can get answers and change policing for the better. They don't need this shit, but Farage and Robinson do.

It wasn't spying, it was observing outside the permitted timeframe - but Gibson and his little puppet boy media circus decided that Spygate sounded more sexy and would sell better to the nationals. Had we beaten Hull, and let's be honest here, we fucking would have done, this equates to double the biggest financial penalty EVER imposed in the history of world sport, making it by far the worst case of cheating ever committed - in monetary terms twenty times worse than Lance Armstrong, two hundred times worse than Liverpool setting up an IT dept to hack into Man City's confidential scouting data, at least double the losses Juventus suffered from match-fixing. One bloke behind a tree, yes, we cheated, but no more than happens in EVERY fucking match in every country in the world every day. Football is riddled with cheating - this is not the crime of the century. Enough.

That's enough of the Premier League and the Champions' League final, let's find some more shit on Saints to fill in time before the World Cup. It's old news and 95% of football doesn't give a fuck.

He was a great player for us and lifted expectation and standards around the club. The Rank Xerox years were pretty special.

True story, they used to be lined up in the Dell gym. Was it Guy Askham?

Personal thought - it's no time to starve the club of cashflow so I'm in. All part of accepting that I'm in a toxic relationship with Saints - she promises me much and sometimes delivers amazing moments....but I also know she'll treat me with contempt and let me down. ❤️

Zero interest? He's been obsessed with Saints for weeks. He wants us weaker next season so I'd be amazed if he's drawn a line under it. And he's the one who had to create a bogeyman, to distract from his own failures and his manager totally fucking up their season.

Gibson will be running another media campaign to get Tonda a lengthy ban, this time we need to challenge it and take some control of the narrative. Boro had far too much to say, too much influence at the EFL and a hand on the tiller of the independent panel. IF we do now have a sensible legal team they need to be reminding the football authorities how things work in the real world. We tried humility and guilt, it got us royally shafted, perhaps it's time to advise them of the legal flaws in their processes, to stop listening to bitter Gibson and to wind their fucking necks in. #enoughisenough

Nah, not our team and the way they were playing. 😎 Our keeper could catch and we scored goals.

The key difference here to other expulsions was that the EFL knew about an allegation BEFORE the two games and decided that the offence was not enough to stop the games being played. They were happy with them being fair contests, right up until the hilarious moment when the clown of a Boro keeper watched a cross float right past him into the corner. Normally a mistake like that would be career-defining, but no, no, not for this fucker, he still had an even funnier moment in his locker, in fact I might watch it again in a mo to cheer me up, laughs always guaranteed. And that wheezy unfit Boro team that went about 15 hours without scoring and had a defence that should be in a circus? Apparently they only lost because a kid nearly watched them.

Any ban he serves should be backdated to the day they literally stopped him from managing us the other week. Though it would be amusing if we chose now to chuck every legal obstacle at them and they were unable to prove significant wrongdoing. That would leave the EFL in a shitstorm without a coat. But in reality, they rushed through the last one, now we just have to wait until they let us plan next season.

It's been mentioned before and I know some will disagree but the intern has been hung out to dry and deserves support. It's not the kid's fault, it seems he was pressured and put in a ridiculous situation that may even have been set up by the former Boro analyst, it's certainly interesting how quickly Boro and the Boro-led EFL board were all over it. Will, you must feel terrible right now, we're not blaming you, there are a dozen others who fucked this up, and they are paid the big bucks to behave much better than they have and to do their jobs competently. It's not your fault.

Now it's over I'd be curious to see any contact between Middlesborough staff and their former analyst as well as all messages between Gibson and the EFL board - Middlesborough being rewarded does not pass the sniff test... 37,000 Freedom of Information requests would slow them down.
