Liverpool are awful

Hull City now "leaving legal avenues open"

Lawsuits everywhere

 

Zero sporting integrity from anybody but Boro.. I se Wrexham players have been in the press saying the playoffs should be replayed with them in it 

Put a pony in mi pocket….

They could've just asked our @Zog1for his full analysis and data and saved themselves all this hassle.

Was my analysis incorrect? regarding Stockport.

Strange that the other matches they admitted to spying on were games they didn't win, as if to say it didn't matter in the end 

They were doing it to gain an advantage otherwise why do it? Why pick Oxford out to spy on and not say Hull or Wrexham? 

Unless the set up of other training grounds meant they couldn't

No darling, you are right and correct about absolutely everything, you should 100% be in professional football management.

Clever. Admit to ones they know made no differece ulimately. But make not mention of the other 20+ games in their unbeaten run.

They have not denied (afaik) spying on any other games.

It won't have been different at all

Well, clearly it would.

Once they were beaten, those Middlesborough players would have been on a totally different pathway to that had they won.

They just weren't

The club has stated publicly they continued with the plan they had in place had they won

The disciplinary proceedings were known about before kick-off and they carried on as if they'd reached the final as perparation for this exact scenario occurring

Their perparation has been no different whatsoever

Physically you can do all the prep but the mental preparation will be tricky. 

Perhaps they can do a Denmark 92 and win with no pressure as they weren't supposed to be there.

Possibly, but I think the mental aspect is probably quite easy to deal with

That's a different thing to the idea they were in post-season mode though

The EL final not being on terrestrial TV is piss poor

He was assistant at Barnsley for 18 months before Southampton - sadly not the period they were beating us in the playoffs or I'd say get a claim in. But either they were cheating there too or he must have had some idea. And there's no way that no member of staff there had heard of the Leeds case under Bielsa.

Ian Evatt was our manager.

No need to spy on us, everyone knew our tactics,

That was a fantastic strike 

Great goal and well done on leaving 4 players up when defending a corner, sick of teams with everyone back thesedays.

Another cracker.

Cracking goal again.

Whats the chances of winning the EL with Villareal, Sevilla and Aston Villa?

If Villa win this, which it looks like they will, then does that promote Bournemouth or Brighton into the Champions League?

Though since the EFL brought the rule in about spying, they should have an appropriate punishment in place and not leave it to an independent panel otherwise teams will take the piss 

Red card for violent conduct equals three match ban, we know that 

If you get done for speeding, you know how many points you're getting 

Instead they've sold tickets to both sets of fans who have booked trains, hotels etc and neither set of fans know if they'll be playing on Saturday because rather than enforce their own rules, they've passed the buck 

It's an absolute shit show
