@CovHarry Beat Coventry at their place..

Southampton: - Cheated their way into the play offs - Players mock disabilities - Fans are classless scum - Ball boys are slimy - Sit in silence for 120 minutes in the biggest game of their lives Is there anything positive about this club? #SaintsFC

@ad_I_am Weren’t as good as Torrington last Friday if I’m honest…

@MattHookway The Blurtones, seriously?

Fuck off. 🕵️

@x_tjm98 Stupid, where’s the belief?? Fucked up autos Fucked up home leg Do everything possible to fuck up away leg too…

Anyone have an ounce of faith in Boro tonight? Just seems like we’re bracing ourselves for the lawsuit & that ‘second chance’ mentality won’t serve us well at all. #UTB

@ChrisEd90172340 Genuinely stupid if you think this is going to do anything other than disappear quietly once the North East journalists stop making all the noise and the North East fans finish crying about it…

@MattHookway Genuinely so naive if you believe that, why should Southampton’s internal investigation delay the EFLs investigation. If they wanna investigate they should do it concurrently

Another load of tripe, just delaying until they can’t be held accountable by the EFL.

@TheAthleticFC Would suggest an independent investigation means it's got fuck all to do with what Middlesboro want...

Middlesbrough are seeking a sporting sanction rather than financial compensation regarding the ‘Spygate’ incident involving their Championship play-off opponents Southampton. Sources indicated Middlesbrough would prepare for the playoff final regardless of whether they win the tie against Southampton or not. Middlesbrough head coach Kim Hellberg told his pre-match press conference on Monday that he “has a plan for every day up to the final” on May 23 in terms of his players’ training regime. Even if Middlesbrough lose the second leg after the goalless first game last Saturday, the uncertainty of the situation means Hellberg will bring his squad back to Teesside on Wednesday and await news from the English Football League’s independent disciplinary commission.

@TheSaintCentre Sources close to intelligent people with at least half a brain believe that they will take no notice of what is written in the Daily Mail as it is generally full of shit...

🚨Sources close to the investigation believe any suggestion that Southampton’s alleged spying operation was the work of a lone individual at the club “would not be taken seriously” #saintsfc [Mail]

@utb1980 @BBCTeesSport Not with this bloke in charge, he's taken you to 5th in a 2 horse race... 🤣

@MattHookway @BBCTeesSport Haven’t we put six past you this season?

"I think people like the way we play, we are brave. Many like the way we handle ourselves. We are honest in our approach and we try to be an offensive football team." - Kim Hellberg when asked about national support for his Middlesbrough side 🗣️ #Boro | #UTB | #BBCFootball

@jakthelad95 It happened last time, they got fined, it may happen again, need to be prepared 👍

Please don't run on the pitch, bold to assume you're winning lads. Arrogant pricks

@Jambo_Slice1876 If you watched that bunch of muppets last year they were far from a Premier League squad.. 🤣 Guess it's best to wait for evidence and verdicts before deciding on the severity of offence and possible punishments, lets face it, neither of us know that..

@MattHookway But it could give you 1% advantage - an incline into a key strategy etc. when the prize is £200m it becomes important. Not just in a footballing sense but to financially secure the club & its employees. From that perspective is it an overreaction? I don’t believe so.

Another one 🤣🤣 They’ve gone off their rockers

@SaintsExtra Where are they planing on watching it?

🚨 Kim Hellberg says Hayden Hackney is OUT of tomorrow's second leg: "Hayden is preparing for the final. He will not be ready for this one. But I think he'll be ready for the final." #saintsfc

@Jambo_Slice1876 Embarrassing but a massive over reaction from both sides where facts and evidence are very thin on the ground for majority of us, I'll wait until they become public (if ever) before condemning any actions that were or were not taken..

@MattHookway Tbf I’m pretty confident about tomorrow on the pitch. I don’t want us to get through any other way than beating you. I hope they come down hard on you though regardless what happens tomorrow. I’m shocked how a lot of your fans have reacted, I’d be gutted if Boro sunk that low

@Jambo_Slice1876 Agree, likely to get found guilty, wont be contested because not worth the hassle or costs associated and will be next weeks chip paper. Boro doing their best to big it up, keep the story running as they are in last chance saloon after fucking up their season, my guess anyway..

@MattHookway The most likely outcome is that you’ll be found guilty. I can’t really be arsed to have a conversation about it mate. I suggest you zoom out and try and forget the emotional tribal perspective and use logic based on what we’ve heard so far and how SFC & MFC have responded.

Hope they show the #boro training footage on the big screens before tomorrow's game.. #saintsfc

@MarkDavies67 Why would Southampton use their website to advise Middlesborough fans on their behaviour? Not really their reasonability is it...

Southampton telling their fans to stay off pitch at end of game tomorrow. Think we are playing too? 👀 southamptonfc.com/en/news/articl…

@Jambo_Slice1876 @AlfieHouseEcho If the police want to charge me with murder I've got little choice but to accept it, they still got to prove I'm guilty.. 👍

@MattHookway @AlfieHouseEcho Well considering Southampton have accepted the charge we can rule that out.

Kim Hellberg asked if other clubs have reported to Boro suspicions of Saints spying: "I have answered everything honestly on Saturday when I look back at it, and now I think I just need to focus on the game." #SaintsFC

@david_sedgewick @AlfieHouseEcho Why, who did?

@MattHookway @AlfieHouseEcho Least he didnt storm out though mush
