What time are the team arriving today ?  Did I see 6pm or 6.30 ?

Also, I'm going on my own tonight and would like to know the best place to get chatting to Saints fans.  Northam fans zone ?   Does it cost anything to get in ?

People usually congregate around ‘Turnstile A’

Lots happen there 

[Nordic Saint]

A song to greet the Boro coach with and to shut up their fans when they start the "You cheating bastards" song with which they greeted our coach up there:

"You whingeing bastards, you know what you are."

I think Boro fans and players will be riled up into a frenzy.

The fallout from this will be catastrophic if Boro lose.

Hope we smash them

[Saint Matty 76]

Nothing I want more than an Azaz goal tonight.

Boro fans have been beyond embarrassing.

Very much a 50/50 game in my opinion, hard to call how it will go , we can't afford to be as bad as we were first half again 

That first half was due at least partly to Boro running on far too much adrenaline for a few different reasons and running themselves into the ground.

They were spent after an hour, and it's unlikely they'll have fully recovered for tonight, especially as they don't have the same depth of squad to freshen it up.

[Paul_B]

We need to be considerably better than we were the other day otherwise we will lose the spine of our team and be squandering in the EFL for years to come.

Team needs to be:

Peretz

Bree

Harwood-Bellis

Wood

Manning

Downes

Jander

Matsuki

Azaz

Scienza

Stewart

Go in on these cunts fucking hard, someone nobble Ayling because he's a turbocunt

 Fuck winning 50/50s, if it's a 70/30 make it ours!! They bullied us last time and it's our turn now! 

Make the atmosphere as hostile as possible and drown out the outside noise!

what about a bit of Hank Williams?

Team bus is due to arrive 90 mins before KO, so 6.30pm (but against WBA the coaches were running late due to the crowds lining the streets and the red smoke filling the skies!) So I guess people will congregate around 6.20'ish at the Ted Bates Statue.

There are a few fan zones around the stadium now (with the Northam Fan Zone the largest) and beer trucks dotted around too (no charge to get into them, just wander in).
There will be fans everywhere around the stadium tonight, as people will be arriving a few hours earlier than normal to greet the bus (and maybe 'welcome' the Boro one too!), so plenty of fans to have a natter with.

Enjoy the game, and here's hoping we can all celebrate after the game too

This.  You could see even on the telly that after 20 mins all of their players we're sweating buckets.  Our players had barely broken sweat.

[S-Clarke]

I think it's fair to say they overextended themselves a bit in the first half, and didn't come away with anything to show for it - they were definitely on their last legs in the final throws of the 2nd half. That's why they all looked so deflated at the end.

I'm sure they've had enough time to recover though, they'll pose a similar threat I'm sure on the break I fear. But we just need to make sure we're not as bad as we were in the first half.

😂😂😂 how is Keith these days I wonder.

[Toadhall Saint]

Make no mistake boro will not be a walkover and they will not keep missing the target. Cool heads will win out in this.

I think they blew themselves out on Saturday.

Also all this spygate nonsense will wear off as soon as the game starts.

It's going to be tough but we are more clinical. 2-1 or 3-1 to us in normal time.

This if they score first then we have to and will attack, but I think they’ll be playing for counters tonight

[Jack]

I really hope the crowd in there tonight just gets behind the team and blocks out all this spygate bollocks. We don’t need it, it’s not funny, and we don’t need to give them any extra motivation. Like others have said - WBA/Arsenal levels of noise needed.

I think that would be a dangerous assumption to make.

Agreed. Arsenal was the best game I've ever been to.

Any Steve Gibson based chants doing the rounds?

Why? He hasn’t said anything.

He hasn't said anything? That's the universal sign of guilt apparently. What else could he be hiding?

[LeBizzier69]

two things:

1. Get into them

2. Fuck them up.

Amen.

But sleep won't come, the whole night through;

Our cheating scout will tell on you.

When jeers come down like falling rain,

You'll whine and moan, and lose this game;

You can't play the way we do,

Our cheating scout will tell on you.

 

 

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Hope Downes and Jander are on it today. Keep calm, play our game and hopefully Azaz, Scienza and the rest of the team are up for it from the off.

 

[Mattio]

I've got nothing to do at work so came up with this to Johnny Cash - Hurt 😂

We watched you train today,
We saw your masterplan,
From bushes with a phone,
You played into our hands

Boro, don’t you cry,
Saints were watching you
To Wembley, here we come,
The Premier League's in view

Boro to start hard and fast again, hope to nick a goal, then dig in.

As always in the playoffs, right. Always going to be up against a team that could win any given game in the league on the day.

[Pancake]

In the bushes, the Boro bushes

our scout he stays all night

in the bushes, the Boro bushes

He sees you plays like shite

 

[Convict Colony]

if anyone scores a goal it's gonna open up big time.

I think the team realize if they go forward we are way more effective that whatever that shit was in the 1st balf.

Hopefully matsuki in for Fellows and Stewart to start with larin off the bench  would be the only changes for me.

Yes. Shame that Larin lost his touch when it mattered most. Fellows has been a disappointment although Eckert still seems to see something in him. I'd rather have a battler like Matsuki with an eye for goal even if Fellows provides better defensive cover for Bree. 

[Toussaint]

Need to stick it right up them tonight, nobody likes it right up ‘em!

[davefizzy14]

            Peretz 

Bree  THB Stephens Manning 

     Downes  Jander

Matsuki  Azaz  Scienza

            Stewart 

Subs:  Long, Wood, Welington, Bragg, Edozie, Charles, Archer, Larin, Fellows

Let's beat them convincingly 3-0 to us - Scienza, Stewart and Larin to score 😊 COYR 😊

No Charlie, we will be 3 nil up in twenty two minutes. So my spies tell me. Put your money on it!
