Yellow

The advantage we have is we are fitter

Penalty and red card for me

I thought that was a penalty tbf

And we should be 2 and one eighths to nil up at half time

Computer runs are predicting a 10 men Boro and a 4-1 victory to us at this point, if it's of interest

Prediction for second half, Tonda does Karate, Boro down to 10 men, 5-1 win and Middlesbrough try to get Senegal thrown out of Eurovision for toiletgate

5-1 here we come

One of the Boro players has a Targett on his back

Boro keeper needs a haircut

Tonda knows Karate

Close..

I'll revise my prediction to a 5-1 victory

Oh well, here we go...

It won't end here Gibbo will be after Eurovision honours next week

It protects the knee when jumping

Based on nothing, I'll go for 4-0 win to us

On a first game back after injury, no player plays at their best. And Middlesborough had already released information on whether he was playing. We play the same lineups, and play the same way mostly, and Middlesborough just did the same thing too, their possession, their overloads in areas and their pressing, and then missing the goal. Both teams played the same The whole thing is daft, bad that someone spied for whatever reason, but daft. We could watch their training, they could watch ours. It doesn't change anything Regardless of the whole hoo haa they should knock us out properly rather than depending on a bye. Hoping for that is going to affect them more than us, and I don't think all this sabre rattling is helping them either. Let the (hopefully) independent commission make their decisions based on the evidence rather than trying to make demands

I understand the whole spygate thing is not good, but they're getting a bit desperate with this whole public press pile on and trying to get other clubs to check their cctv. Why not let the independent panel investigate, see what the findings are, then take it from there I find all the noise and this whole trial by media probably worse than the spygate thing itself.

Both team supporters are defensive. Neutrals are just generally finding it funny, a guy hiding in a bush. They'll say cheating of the highest order, we'll say it's not in the spirit of the game Without it all happening, it'd just be the usual, where do you park and what pubs are good to drink at It's just a shame it happened and spoilt what should have been two good games But regardless of what anyone is saying, we don't what happened, we don't know the context. When we do, whatever will be will be, and both parties will just need to move on

It sounds like a cunning plan by Baldrick. Send a spy to check in and leave his name at the hotel on site, then hide in a bush

Why don't we just invite them to watch our training for a day

Well that's why we're doubting some of it. If you sanction spying, there has to be a reason for doing it and if you are going to spy, at least do it right I mean the guy supposedly stayed at the hotel on the grounds. We're not going to be that daft. He hid in a bush. I mean, that's crazy when you have drone technology and other technology available to you I know the Boro fans are coming at us hard, but surely they must question what we actually gain from doing this, and how amateur it all is. And did we see any gains today, did it really hurt their football today Punishment is all about damages, assigning a value to the damage done. And, no damage has really been done to them, we've damaged ourselves if anything

I think how today happened was the plan. Just let them play first half, then try and snatch it at the end. A 0-0 is fine. The club can say nothing was gained from spygate, and we have a clean start for Wednesday. Boro had their chances in the first half, so they will only have themselves to blame now if they don't go through

Given the circumstances, probably the best result for now
