City win?

Results are only viewable after voting.
The last twenty results calmed down the fans calling for Sports Republic to sell.
The revolt is brewing and if Southampton don’t get to play, I can see it becoming a real issue for the club.

The best result would be to play Southampton on 23rd with tribunal decision after the match - therefore both teams go for the win on the day - if we win Southampton get fined and points deduction next season - if they win then they forfeit their place in the PL and their place is given to us - very fair conclusion

Love it, best solution I’ve seen so far :1980_boogie_down:

My concern is the Boro are on the training ground planning how to beat City. Southampton are on their training ground plannung how to beat City. Both Managers are studying our players, formations, tactics and set plays. How do City prepare for a game when it could be 2 totally different sets of players, tactics and set plays. This puts us at a serious disadvantage.

That's why we need to put out a statement and ramp up the pressure.

Why did Southampton feel the need to send spies anyway? It's not like they haven't got a decent squad and had no chance of winning without doing that, makes me wonder if the financial side of their club is a bit ****ed and this was an "at all costs" move?

Is that why they have a decent squad, because they have previous knowledge of all teams set pieces, team selections, etc. I find it hard to believe it’s a one off, is what they have done any different to say a boxer using a horseshoe in his glove, cartoon mention obvs, or a man pretending to be a woman boxer
if they win they will forever be tainted as a team that cheated their way to promotion, history among fans of other clubs show they never forget such things.
It’s the fans of Saints, possibly the owners as well who have had no knowledge of what’s gone on, and they will suffer either ways, the manager and all the coaching staff should be banned from football forever.
That’s really the only punishment the EFL can impose.

It certainly does. The best thing to do is send a spy to each training ground with a camera to check out formations and at the end of each session make a note of the penalty takers and which side of the goalie they shoot. Turn up in fancy dress disguised as a tree to avoid detection.

It's a long shot that Southampton don't play.

I hope if Southampton do beat us, we don't empty our end of the stadium. We need to stay and make as much noise as possible, booing, singing 'You only win when you're cheating' etc etc. It would be nice if our players joined in singing that too as Southampton lift play off trophy.

and no shaking hands and all that bollocks...

i think if after 46 games (48 after the play offs), we dont know how anyone plays. Then our scouts etc need scacking!!.
Relisically what are boro going to do that they havent already.
For the same reason, im not sure why southampton needed to send a spy

I genuinely think this is the only sensible option.
Due to the sheer amount of money that the final is worth and the fact that efl and epl operate separately so points deduction won't work, same as the farce with leicester.
