@afneil And the constituents of Makerfield now have a Labour candidate who clearly doesn’t care about them or the area he is trying to represent. His sole reason for standing is to become PM and move to London. If they have any sense whatsoever they’ll be casting their votes elsewhere

British politics will reach a new reductio ad absurdum in the Makerfield by election: Vote Labour to destroy the sitting Labour Prime Minister. Support Labour PM Starmer but NOT voting Labour. We are having a by-election not because there’s any demand or need in the national interest but entirely to suit the convenience of the byzantine politics of the ruling party and the political pygmies in whose interest it is run. We are no longer a serious nation. No wonder the bond markets are squiffy.

@EvansJonny10 @SaintsExtra @TheAthleticFC Gibson will probably ask to chair it too #saintsfc

@SaintsExtra @TheAthleticFC Have they asked if they can decide the punishment aswell?

🚨 Middlesbrough have asked the panel if they can participate in the Spygate hearing — ordinarily, an interested party can only make written submissions — if granted, it would be highly unusual & could create more tension with Southampton #saintsfc @TheAthleticFC

@Stevie_LA @James_SFC01 Or sell to hull fans!

@James_SFC01 No we sell for a profit to Boro fans 😂

If we get kicked out are the tickets refunded? #saintsfc

@AlfieHouseEcho @AlfieHouseEcho with regards to appeal Processes would that include consideration to legal challenges made by Boro?

Once again, I don't think this changes much but glad tickets are on sale soon. EFL have no choice but to leave options open for independent commission. Interesting that the statement includes specific mention of contingencies to allow 'appeals process' if needed tho. #SaintsFC

@samharrisonnnn If we get binned off then hopefully Hull go straight up. Any panel with an ounce of common sense will see that #saintsfc gained no advantage in their actions. Doesn’t mean the intent wasn’t there but bottom line is Boro didn’t make the final because they weren’t good enough.

Statement doesn’t help, but where does it end? If we are banished, do Boro get a free pass to the final? Do Hull get a free pass to the PL? I can’t see any simple outcome for us being banished that’s “fair” for all parties. It’ll be a fine and likely points deduction. #SaintsFC

So fans of both teams could buy tickets, sort out travel and then be royally fucked over. Ridiculous timing #saintsfc

For fuck sake this is exactly the same as Saturday. Have we got a midfield? #saintsfc

It’s like we’re shell shocked still from Last week #saintsfc

@AlfieHouseEcho The only positive from those stats is we haven’t missed any big chances! Absolutely woeful first half, sure we can’t be that bad second half. Larin, Azaz and Fellows all total passengers

HT: Middlesbrough 0-0 Saints. Well, that was certainly a difficult first-half. Boro are a good team and have done excellently but Saints have to change something. Not at it from minute one, not one attack and gasping for air the whole time. Stewart on imo. Thoughts? #SaintsFC

This is shocking. Got to make changes at half time or the tie could be done and dusted today #saintsfc

#saintsfc are not at it at all so far today. Midfield totally overrun

@bet365 Well worth the £1 max stake you’ve allowed me. Utter jokers

Bukayo Saka to have a Shot on Target? Super Boosted on site.

Peretz 👏 #saintsfc

@FlynnJonas2 As much as having the second leg at home is important I’d give the majority a rest, they looked shattered last night. No point in risking an injury or running them further into the ground when even a win won’t guarantee 4th unless boro drop points

What do you think??? Play as strong a team as possible Saturday in the hope of securing 4th Or Rest the majority of the lads weekend fresh for playoffs the following week?? I’m so torn on this debate because I completely see both sides of it .. #SaintsFC

Assuming it stays like this. Do #saintsfc rest everyone for the Preston game before the playoffs ? They look knackered

@1FalconFIFA @bet365 They’ve reduced mine to a quid !

@bet365 Why Max stake £10

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia equalises for Paris. ✅ Super Boost 𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗗 𝗢𝗨𝗧!

Off side but a great save from Peretz there #saintsfc

@bet365 You’ve reduced my max stake to a quid again , what’s the point ?

Our Sunderland v Nottm Forest Super Boost is live on site.

Chances of autos gone but the fact we’ll be in the playoffs is a massive achievement given the start we had under Still #saintsfc
