Team tomorrow then lads, what we thinking? Peretz, Bree, Stephen, THB, Manning, Downes, Jander, Scienza, Azaz, Fellows, Larin. 1-2 Saints

Into them Saints. Win at any cost 💪

Why will it? So a few of their mutants are riled up now. It’s hardly going to be Galatasaray. I’m probably more confident of winning now than ever.

A couple have mentioned the police. Yes, the police 😂😂 Fantastic stuff.

I also like how they’re discussing punishments including us forfeiting the first leg 3-0, excluded from the play offs entirely, 12 point deductions next season, playing the home leg with no fans etc etc. I never imagined coming across a fan base as fucking thick and mythical as Pompey, but crikey I think we’re close.

Gets more farcical as the day goes on. How many times has their story changed now? Like dealing with fucking toddlers 😂

At least the weather forecast means all their little weirdos will get absolutely soaked whilst doing all their funny flare shit. Does the sun ever fucking shine up there by the way? 21 and sunny here tomorrow, fucking 11 degrees and pouring down up there. Grim.

That’s the biggest take from it. I couldn’t give a shit if Saints have done it or not, bit bloody stupid but whatever. The reaction from Boro fans though is bordering on hysterical. Embarrassing.

Jesus, what a bunch of precious fannies. Get back down the pits and stop crying.

Be even more sweet if/when we beat the northern cunts 😎

It’s quite clearly designed by Boro to unsettle us. Hiding in the bushes for fuck sake, I’ve heard it all.

Ordered on the first day and received nothing yet.

I don’t believe so. Assume it’ll be an empty block either side of the home fans.

So we give them 200 less tickets and charge them £11 more 😂

I’m not convinced they’ve released the full allocation yet but I might be wrong. Both end blocks weren’t on sale at 12.30. Guess they could have gone on sale since then.

The rules stipulate 10% of capacity or 2000, whatever is lower. In league games clubs tend to be a bit more generous if they don’t sell out, which Boro rarely do. For this game, they will sell out though, hence the 2000.

Finishing 4th tips the balance in our favour IMO. Don’t lose the away leg and I think we’ll qualify. Lose by the odd goal and I still think we’ll qualify. Lose by more than one and we’re struggling. I think we beat Millwall and Hull at Wembley. Dare i say comfortably? The Boro game is the one.

Away game starting at 24 + aways with an allocation of 2100. £22. Very reasonable.

07.50. Arrives into Newcastle around 9am. Would be reasonably tight with an hour or two delay but it’s the first flight of the day for Logan so here’s hoping it runs to time.

Team picks itself really; Perez, Bree, Stephens (Wood), THB, Manning, Jander, Downes, Scienza, Azaz, Matsuki, Larin

We’re flying out of Southampton on Saturday morning and back into Heathrow later that evening. Lift home sorted. £56 return alongside a few avios 👌

What a perfect final day that turned out to be. Flights booked to Newcastle for the away leg 💪

Get in. Finishing 4th is brilliant!

I personally think people are underestimating the importance of finishing 4th. Having the second leg at home in the evening is hugely advantageous compared to a first leg home tie at 12.30. Finishing 5th makes it much less likely we make the final IMO as Boro are certainly no mugs.
