On the spygate stuff, I know there's plenty of other cheating that goes on in football. I just don't want Saints involved in it, regardless of how minor the cheating may be. I'd rather us lose honestly then win having cheated to gain some kind of advantage. We don't have much going for us in the grand scheme of things, we don't win anything, we are often the whipping boys, produce a good player and they are out the door within a year, but you can still be proud of the club when they act professionally and give their all on the pitch. This kind of thing takes away from that feeling for me. Fully agree that in the grand scheme of things that go on, this isn't that outrageous and the advantages you gain are relatively small, but that's not really the point as far as I'm concerned. I want Saints to do things the right way even if nobody else is. Maybe that's a delusional attitude to take, but that's how I feel about it.

Trying to put all that **** to one side and thinking about the football now.
Bad news that Stephens still isn't even able to be on the bench. But good that Matsuki is back to being an option. Greatly improves our attacking options off the bench that looked a bit threadbare otherwise. Happy with the team overall, just hope Downes isn't too rusty. It's going to be a hostile atmosphere for them, but they'll know that. Just got to try and shut that out and play the game. Glad Hackney isn't on their bench for them, think we have a much stronger bench but their starting lineup looks pretty strong, no Hackney aside.

Scienza cheats half a dozen times per game. And honestly, winning a penalty by diving is far worse than this spying stuff.

Boro have started well. Fired up. We need to get hold of the ball for a bit and calm things down.
