I’ll feel a lot more confident if Cap’n Jack is back, and if Matsuki starts ahead of Fellows.

I liked that, kinda says to me it’s probably a lot more prevalent than just little old Southampton trying to gain an edge.

Indeed, it’s all about engagement and likes these days, create a bit of drama to make a bit of money.

Fucking idiotic from the club whatever way we look at it. Whatever marginal game was to be had by spying was completely wiped out by the impetus it gave their fans and their players. Don’t see how some of us are playing it down saying it wouldn’t affect the players or that Tonda will shield them from it, our team was absolutely rattled first half and it’s only due to inept finishing and last ditch defending that we’re still in with a shout in Tuesday. After all the goodwill about our club, the league form, the fa cup run, pundits waxing lyrical about how incredible our support was against Arsenal and Man City, all of that has been wiped out because of this spy shite. If it was on the doing of Tonda as much as I’ve loved the last 5 months, he’s a fucking idiot, and he’s bought our club into disrepute. Saturday was still a fairly enjoyable away trip, but having Boro fans shouting cheating bastards and cheating cunts at us, added an edge that didn’t need to be there. Hopefully after that second half performance the players are over their nerves and with St Mary’s behind them we can get the result we need. Then we can go to Wembley and have a “Nobody likes us but we don’t care” final between us and Millwall.

I’m sorry but this is far too sensible of a post, and the bed wetting, mouth frothing, crying Boro fans would never accept this as a fair response.

Most away teams stay at the Hilton at the cricket ground.

The players from that night still talk about it now, I’m sure Captain Jack said from that welcoming they knew they weren’t going to lose that night. Needs to happen again. Fellows cannot start Tuesday, I’m not even sure I’d start Azaz after today as it’s clear the Boro connection gets to him. All 3 games against them he’s been utterly anonymous. Can't afford to play with any passengers. Oh and lastly would it be too much to ask for one or two of the players to put some proper bloody studs on their boots. Been bad the last 2 games at home with players slipping up and it was the same at Boro today.

Just stopped at the services. Is it always that cold, grey and wet in Boro? That first half was one of the worst I’ve had the misfortune of watching, I’m glad they turned it around second half but you can see the spy bollocks had clearly unsettled the players. Coming away with a draw after that definitely feels like a robbery, would have loved it if we’d nicked it just to see the Boro fans cry next to me. Bring the WBA 2024 vibes to St Mary’s on Tuesday and I’ll think we’ll be ok. Shout out to LND, changed the game when he came on, Larin was dogs.

5 hour drive for that performance? Cunts. Honestly fucking awful. i hope this is all some clever plan to come out second half and batter them.

Indeed, although most of those games came pre Tonda-ball I believe

Just re-reading the EFL statement and it says that under regulations we would normally have 14 days to respond but they want that shortened. Surely they can’t demand that if there’s set time frames in place? Why the urgency?

The one thing about this though is that the manager of the month award was only announced yesterday, which is when the spying apparently took place, so he can’t have have been in two places. Of course the picture could have been taken on Wednesday when the nominees were announced but why not just announce the winner that day in that case.

Not implying that at all. What I was implying was that this squad need to be fully focused on the task at hand, not worrying about the potential punishment that’s coming our way. As I said I’m sure Tonda will be trying to protect them from it, but you can bet this group of young lads will have seen the same shit we have online.

My concern with this, as much as Tonda will protect the squad etc, is if the players start questioning punishments, and whether their efforts tomorrow are potentially for nothing if the EFL did try and do something like make our result null and void. Likely to be a points deduction and hefty fine I know, but if those thoughts do creep in we’re fucked on the pitch IMO.

It certainly means things are going to be a bit tastier in Boro tomorrow and around the ground….

89th minute, Saints corner, king of the shithousery Captain Jack with the winner to make it 2-1 to us. Runs to the Boro fans with his hands to his eyes like a pair of binoculars, Boro fans absolute lose their shit, piss well and truly boiled. Thats my dream for tomorrow.

Proper weird bunch. Been fun mugging off some of their fans online that tried slating our numbers this season. Got Pompey level of delusions some of them cunts. I guess they’re the Bournemouth of the north. Newcastle and Sunderland have got each other and they’re the little noddy cousin.

Or from the same album the track ‘I can see a liar’

They have to take Bazunu from us and make him their first choice keeper.

The lads are air bound now leaving the sunny south coast to be greeted by thunderstorms up north! Hope the shit weather puts the dampeners on the Boro bus welcome tomorrow, forecast looks shite.

Is that fat prick Crook still upset about constantly getting called out for being wrong on anything related to Saints back in the day?

I guess this proves why Kier wanted to cancel the democratic elections for 5 million people. At least he’ll get a nice big pay off to spend on some more Ukrainian rentboys* *allegedly

Ahhh memories. I know it turned into a bit of a wet horror show, but I will never ever forget being amongst that away end when Rasiak scored.

Assuming we’re in yellow again? Black haa been a fairly lucky colour at Boro for us over the years.
