Kim Hellberg wanted to park Spygate and focus on the football. The #Boro has handled the last few days with real class and, in contrast to how it was handled by his opposite number on Saturday, handled Qs well. Inside Hellberg's press conference today: www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

COMMENT Troy Deeney has absolutely nailed it. If Southampton are guilty of the alleged charges then only one punishment is sufficient. They have to be expelled from the play-offs #Boro www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Putting Spygate to one side for one moment to focus on the actual match... #Boro can take plenty of heart from it. Hopefully they won't rue so many missed chances. What they learned, what they gained, and how they must approach game two is clear www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

If Southampton are guilty of the EFL charges, would a fine be enough? Hard to argue with why Kim Hellberg believes it will not be sufficient #Boro www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/footba...
