I'm confident they've used "whistleblower" in the incorrect context. The "other clubs" line was reported by the Guardian, claiming they'd gone to them: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/may/10/southampton-spygate-middlesbrough-championship-playoffs

Yep…

In all fairness, do you have the faintest idea of what goes on behind closed doors at football clubs?

Saints won’t be kicked out because it’ll open up a can of worms for all clubs. Most probably do it - even Middlesbrough, which would be hilarious if it came out.

Contradictions, yes, but they’re not inaccuracies unless you know what has actually unfolded. Whatever’s happened is serious enough for the EFL to charge the club. As I said yesterday, there is no way this made the papers if it was a massive fabrication. It’s crazy to think otherwise. There would have been an outright denial from the club to the Mail, which broke the story, for starters.

This. We’ve absolutely f***ed it.

This is really bad.

This was training, specifically set pieces. Edit: the set pieces allegation is in the Guardian’s write-up.

Yeah but the article wouldn’t have been published if it was BS.

I said the team we needed to avoid in the play offs is Middlesbrough. This rubber stamps it.

No wins in three is concerning form going into the play offs.

We’re not going up.

That's the problem. No one remembers FA Cup semi finalists.

Did anyone see the guy chased at full pelt by security around blocks J and K? He was then being cuffed by cops while face down on the ground. Probably around 4.30pm.

I saw this post game, too. Even our own fans were getting into scuffles with each other at the Green Man and in the concourse. Of course, the majority outweighed the idiots but some of the “banter” given to City fans afterwards was cringeworthy.

Ffs

We need to avoid Middlesbrough in the play offs.

The only advice I can give to fans is don’t walk away in silence.

We’re so sloppy.

We’ve got no chance. Hodgson has Tonda’s number.

Bristol City were 7/1 before this. History repeating itself?

Congrats.

Biggest 45 minutes of the season coming up.

Not with it at all. Floodgates now.

I don’t think Millwall’s run-in is as easy as it looks. Leicester and Oxford could still both be fighting for survival.
