I did wonder if they were hoping for penalties or just dead on their feet - both teams were flagging like fuck though, ridiculous efforts all round.

Plus both fans can agree the ref was shit

Well played Tonda

Absolutely - did his job well tonight!

That's fair enough. Same happened with Mousinho right? "We don't have to get on" or whatever he said, spot on.

My heart

Steve McQueen in Papillon style, eating cockroaches.

I still like Fry a lot as a centre back, properly old school but good with it.

WHO?

I assume he's all fired up, they see a card (red) in him happening, so keep him for the second half?? Who knows ...

Very niiiiiice

"whinging pricks" is in small print.

Ringing the FA. Basically, Man City have cheated by breaching financial regulations, so have Chelsea, so they should be kicked out the FA Cup and it awarded to Saints. Leeds are irrelevant of course.

Well played

True, it is quite extraordinary really

It's a football forum, full of knobheads, but more knobheady than this forum it appears ...

I was going to say he must be 40+. He's 36, feels like he's been around forever.

Nice play - best moment of the match!

He is awful

That can't be real? 😂😂😂😂😂

Perfect summary! "Bad form" rather than cheating, completely agree.

TBF, we can joke with gallows humour (as fans) as to how silly this is, but I think most fans of most clubs would have loved a few decades of a Steve Gibson type. Local lad done good, saved 'Boro from liquidation in the mid 1980s, then got them a new ground and better revenue streams. Their fans have seen Juninho, Ravanelli and a few others and they've enjoyed several cup finals. I think his only "fault" is hanging on to managers too long (i.e. Robson). I think at least he tries for the club - the 'missing 3 points' of the late 90s and I have to be honest with the Debry thing, WE would've kicked off too. No idea how this current crap will play out but in an era where there are so many corrupt or just crap owners, he's the last of one of the genuinely decent ones. Easy right now to become the next Sheffield Wednesday, or Leicester, sadly.

I thought we all agreed it was a Nokia 3210 he/she/they was/were using?

Yeah Larin suffered from a few things I think today; 1. He does hold up play brilliantly, but a lot of the time he relies on being able to knock the ball 1, 2 or 3 metres at most to a nearby Saints player. We were defending more, so no one close enough to sweep up the little taps from his hold up, hence 'Boro picked them up 2. Their centre back, Fry, was actually very good at not letting Larin get away with pushing him around so much - I liked him 3. Larin went down a fair amount to start with, the ref was not having any of it, rightly so
