If Boro are so confident of us getting kicked out maybe they should rest all of their first team. :biggrin:
Apparently they’re not risking Hackney tonight so that he’ll be fit for the final. Also heard that none of their fans will be there tonight as they’re getting a refund for the tickets and saving their money for the final as they’re be playing in it no matter what the score is tonight.
EFL will be announcing this afternoon which side of Wembley they’ll be getting ahead of the game against Hull.
They’ll also be getting Box Park as they’ve been so wronged, and they get to choose the referee and which decisions go to VAR so that they don’t feel cheated anymore.
Also Gibson gets to tell the EFL on how much the tickets will be for the poor hard done by Boro fans. Oh and the Rail companies have to give all fans free travel to Wembley.
I think thats it, though I may have forgotten a couple of things? :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
The way Boro (fans and club) have overreacted, called for sanctions etc I think has moved some Saints fans who were feeling guilty or disappointed to downright determined to see us beat them tonight - red and white atmosphere will be louder as a result whereas I still think we would have been a bit sheepish.

And obviously their desperation won't get them anywhere in terms of the investigation.
As I said a couple of pages ago, they have done a classic ‘Mrs No7’. When I piss her off, she over plays the ‘wronged’ card to the extent that she is in the wrong.
 
Was why I was so fuming when all this broke in the media.

We did it to ourselves, caused our own downfall.

Was amazed we came away from the first leg with a draw due to all this.
