Buzzing for today.
Some of you lot need to lighten up..
I hear that Boro's second version of events is up for the booker prize. Their overreaction shows how scared the club is, trying to get us kicked out rather than just beating us. I hope we smash these neurotic cry babies!

I have just found a huge positive with all the noise around this.
Let’s win this, Tuesday and the Final. Have an amazing day out at Wembley and make some memories.
Then let the EFL fine us and cancel our promotion.
Win win. We get our day out and we get to not go up to the Premiership with VAR and plastics.
Thinking about it @Libby was it you?!

Sick of 4 or more attempts to get into the site on my mobile day.

Matchday. Clouseau encounters
Tbf while that would be **** I wouldn't mind a song about it if it's at least inventive.
Was nothing to do with us ultimately but we've got no choice but run with it now for these two games.
Am seriously angry that the club would do this after such a great season. I know that if this spying was the other way round, we’d be calling for Middlesbrough to be dq’d.
4 hours 15 minutes a great run to get here
Looked much like ours from 2 years ago on Sky. Looks like a great (?) atmosphere. Their fans will be 150% fired up.
Just saw an Alfie House tweet - apparently flares and fireworks all over the place.

Would have thought we would know the boro team first…
Matchday. Woke up at 5am here in Philadelphia and now anxiously awaiting team news and trying to find a way to watch the game
On 'spygate' - I am disappointed we've been caught doing this but I really do feel some of the pearl-clutching is overblown. Is it cheating? Yes it is, but so is diving, so is pretending to have a head injury so the referee doesn't let the opponent keep coming up the field, so is selling your women's team to another company controlled by your owner to skirt the financial rules, so are a litany of other blatant financial doping methods
Saints have not introduced skullduggery and cheating to football. Somebody went and stood on a hill in a public place and tried to find out what formation the other team was playing because they were told to (presumably) and they felt it would aid their career and their employer's performance. It's not the crime of the century. Clubs are at this stuff all of the time, we were just daft enough to get caught and not use a third party to create a larger grey area around what was going on and give ourselves more of a margin for error
We've cheated, we'll be dealt with and rightly so, but I find it so hard to reconcile with the 'I can't get excited for these games' and 'our unbeaten run feels hollow' sentiments. This is small fry in the grand scheme of things and it'll all blow over
Now, I hope we beat Boro and beat them comprehensively. As with every other match, this will be settled on the pitch by the lads who are paid to play. I hope Finn Azaz scores a goal and goads their fans. I hope our supporters are giving them the binoculars celebration by the time the tie is over. It's certainly made the game more emotionally charged on the Boro side and, provided it's channelled in the right ways, I have no issue with that. These ties are meant to be spicy and this one no doubt will be
UTS!
