Or even Saints.I wonder how much different the reaction from other teams fans would be if the perceived wronged had been Millwall and not Boro?
This sums it up for me.The final is Saints v Hull.
The media has allowed the narrative to be Boros revenge not a reasonable punishment for saints.
I still think they have massively overplayed their hand. There is no way an independent panel looks at our mush in a bush, the Alan partridge sky report and Boros Star Wars intro monologue and think this is most serious instance of cheating in football ever that it is being made out to be.. Surely...
I'm surprised Boro fans were ok with us losing in the FA Cup semi final, to a team that currently has 115 charges hanging over their head.
What does mush mean in Southampton?
Mush - mate, chum
Although now used in other parts of the UK the origins of this Southampton colloquialism has Romany gypsy claims. However, some historians have attributed the friendly term to French ships docking at the port in the Middle Ages, when the word 'Monsieur' was abbreviated to 'Mush'.
They wouldn't say "ran away" these days, made a tactical withdrawal is the correct interpretation. Odd how people get things wrong e,g Spy = Information gatherer.I heard it was when the French navy invaded and ransacked the town in 1338 during The Hundred Years War. It is said that the French called the inhabitants "mouches" (French for flies) because they all ran away.

As I said before, this site is educational. Good job we are all friends now! Entente cordiale and all that.They were taken by surprise because everyone was at mass in the churches and the French (1000 strong) sailed up Southampton Water undetected and docked by West Quay which was completely unguarded, the locals never stood a chance.
Aren’t we keeping completely quiet publicly. Could be the first thing we say at the hearing. Because charges were raised. I don’t think they can just be dropped if we say “he wasn’t our employee”Devils advocate here: If our agent provocateur was not in our employ at time of incident, we’d have proved that right at the beginning and all this would have gone away. Straw clutching I’m afraid.

In that case it would be French slang. The English would hardly use a word used to insult them.I heard it was when the French navy invaded and ransacked the town in 1338 during The Hundred Years War.

As much as I'd like to believe it originated here and here only, I've always suspected that that's just a nice story and logically it just came from the Romani 'moosh'.In that case it would be French slang. The English would hardly use a word used to insult them.
