@OpTic_MH We’ll probably wait for an official decision before doing that to avoid legal trouble but if the game is rearranged or our opponent is swapped I imagine he’ll be raging

I’d be fully behind Acun absolutely tearing into Southampton and the EFL at this point. The one time that it wouldn’t be a bad idea for him go public. #hcafc

@Lewis_Shepherd5 Sky Sports would be celebrating their ‘fairytale’ promotion to the Premier League

Genuinely wonder what would happen if it was Wrexham who finished 6th and beat Millwall? 🤔 Might be the cynic in me but bet they wouldn’t be in our position #hcafc

À side who lost and a side who cheated have an advantage over a side who didn’t. Make it make sense. #hcafc

#hcafc.

@HcafcT @Scottwilsonecho There’s a lot of things that the EFL rightly get criticised for but this entire situation has been created by Southampton’s attempts to cheat for a play-off semi-final (and possibly longer than that)

@HcafcT @Scottwilsonecho These investigations normally take over two weeks. This is an expedited process that even still feels too slow because of the nature of the playoffs. The EFL also won’t want to dish out a legally weak punishment that leaves them with a long drawn-out legal battle with Southampton

Yesterday, Hull said they were releasing Wembley ticket information today. Today, they've released a statement saying they don't know when they'll be in a position to release that information or start selling tickets #Boro Interesting. Very interesting⬇️ thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/26106607…

@HcafcT @Scottwilsonecho Tbf to the EFL it’s such a quick turnaround that it’s impossible to deliver a solid investigation and judgement so quickly. It’s Southampton who have created this absolute mess by spying in the first place

@Scottwilsonecho The fact we’re now being brought into this mess is a joke. We qualified and we know we’re in the final. This is now impacting our preparations for our biggest game. It should have been sorted before Boro and southamptons 2nd leg. EFL are a joke

@stocksandsants @upthemtigers “Fair and square” when you’ve been charged with cheating 😭

@upthemtigers So is putting a team in the final that lost fair and square

If they move the date of the game, that’s an absolute joke. Get Southampton gone and give it to Boro and we’ll play them instead. #hcafc #boro

@mikewhitesport @HullCity @RadioHumberside Me every time I hear Sergej speak

Written off since the first day and yet we're still here 👋 🔗 wearehullcity.co.uk/news/2026/may/… #hcafc

You know Championship play-off semi finalists hate to see us coming 👀 #hcafc

@StormTroop_Aim Shoot on site

Acun is furiously searching for security firms in the local area. Cottingham is gonna look like Area 51 #hcafc

@secondtierpod @JacobsBen Southampton deserve punishment for what they have allegedly done but surely this inadvertently punishes us (Hull) as we could potentially have our opponents and therefore our preparation swapped last-minute whilst Boro will be able to exclusively prepare to play us

Boro are expected to keep training despite their defeat tonight to Southampton. This comes as a potential sanction over Southampton regarding Spygate. (Via: @JacobsBen)

@itzashley06x Surely they can’t just swap Middlesbrough in (as much as Southampton deserve to be punished) as it would inadvertently hamper us as we’d have to switch up our preparation at short-notice whilst Middlesbrough can prepare for playing us just in case

I wouldn’t be too sure, depending on how spygate turns out. #hcafc #sfc

Hull City: Brilliant performance to make the play-off final. Their xG difference has been negative almost all season, showing the limitations of using 1/2 metrics to evaluate performance. Hull have benefitted from a suitable style of play and quality in forwards areas. 1/12

@MFC_Blah @ChrisEd90172340 @alexcmfc No. It got reduced to two windows and it’s an EFL punishment anyway so even if we still had it we’d be ok to spend in the Prem

@ChrisEd90172340 @alexcmfc Would they not still be under an embargo?

“Hull would break the points record” I’m sure you all said the same about Huddersfield in 2017/18

@JCKM8816 @bxnlufc @FPLTom_ Our win at Middlesbrough is probably the best example of the point I’m trying to make where we take a good chance early on then sit back and defend our box well. Middlesbrough racked up lots of low xG shots that can be more easily defended which totalled to a fairly high xG

@Henry__63 @bxnlufc @FPLTom_ I get you, it'll obvious vary between every team you look at. I've just had a quick look at the stats from last night and 10/14 Hull shots were in the box, which is impressive, but explains why xG was 2.12. Celtic had 14 shots vs Falkirk with 8 outside the box, totalling 1.10 xG.

Derby’s record points total is shaking

@JCKM8816 @bxnlufc @FPLTom_ With us it’s a bit less representative because of the way we play. We don’t spam loads of shots which can inflate the xG somewhat artificially but the shots we do take tend to be decent opportunities from around 6-12 yards out

@bxnlufc @FPLTom_ It’s more relevant over the course of a season than a singular game. If a team consistently over-perform their xG then at some point you’d feel their luck will run out, kina thing. There’s a ton of different metrics that going into figuring out what the xG of a shot/goal is.

Goal ✅ Assist ✅ Wembley Bound ✅ Man Of The Match ✅ Magic Mo Belloumi. 💫 #HCAFC
