A young lad with an i-phone had no influence on results. It was a silly thing to do, but it didn't affect results. It's only Steve Gibson's over the top campaign that's blown it out of all proportions.
There is far worse cheating going on in football every week than that.

We criticised Boro fans for feeling sorry for themselves. We do not want to be even worse.
This season's finished. Until we got this draconian punishment, most fans agreed it was one of the most enjoyable for years. We build on that and go again.
It's not getting knocked down that matters; it's how you get back up. [Post edited 19 May 22:01]

That would not be good for us next season. Hull will pose less of a threat to our chances of winning the Championship than Boro will.
We need to look forward, not back.

I remember Leeds fans saying, when we beat them in the play-off final. We'll change places with you next year. I feel the same way about Boro. I'm looking forward to replacing them after they've had their one awful season in the Premier League. They are certainly coming straight back down again. We have a better chance of winning the Championship next season with Tonda in charge for the whole season than we did this season, when we started with Will Still. [Post edited 19 May 21:42]

Neil Bausor is Chief Executive of Middlesbrough FC, employed by Steve Gibson, and he represents the Championship on the EFL Board. That's why they demanded Saints be replaced by Boro in the play-off final.
I very much doubt it would have happened otherwise. [Post edited 19 May 21:28]

Do you think they care? Bielsa spied on every team they played and he's had a stellar career since. In most countries this would just be seen as a minor blemish on a manager's career if that. As Bielsa said, it's normal in Argentina and probably most other countries as well.
The punishment is draconian for a relatively minor offence. I've seen far worse things happen on a football pitch that have gone unpunished. [Post edited 19 May 21:16]

Of course we can. To be honest I always thought the only advantage of being relegated to the Championship was the chance to win the biggest league trophy in our history and next season, with this manager and team, we can.
Let's stay united and show some fighting spirit. We've had a big knock. We'll show what we're made of and get over it. |

I was at that game and also went in a coach organised by Saints fans at our school, so we left from the school gates. It must have been a thing in those days.
There were 15,000 Saints' fans packing 3 sides of Brisbane Road that night. [Post edited 19 May 17:39]

It's official. But, as against Man City, we might get another block in the upper tier if Hull don't sell out. |

Interesting fact:
Defender, Dan Miller won the FA Vase with Sholing in 2014 and AFC Stoneham in 2026. |

Makes a change from Man City and we can say we're one of the few teams to beat the Premier League champions this year.
When Saka and Eze are both on top form they are a joy to watch, but this is a tense end of season game, where the players are understandably nervous. [Post edited 18 May 21:30]

Yes, I can understand why he's keen to fight at St Mary's, but the promoters should have advised him to wait. This fight isn't high profile enough to fill a stadium. |

Tickets are far too expensive and the fight has come too soon to fill a stadium. They should have waited for the eventual world championship fight between Ryan Garner and Royston Barney-Smith to get a big crowd. [Post edited 18 May 21:19]

Yes, when you click NewsNow Southampton, instead of the usual Saints news, you just get a stream of Teesside Live posts demanding Saints be thrown out. |
