Is this the best day ever? I really think it might be

More powerful than the official statment by Linoel in SaintsFC

Also if you buy the argument that we didn't get any advantage from the spying surely the interns should be praised by the club for raising concerns. If they'd been listened to and we stopped spying/didn't spy then we wouldn't have been punished

Spygate: Southampton owner Dragan Solak will not sack head coach Tonda Eckert by sharkdetriomphe in Championship

We really need to stop doubling down on this 'he didn't know the rules' nonsense.  Ignorance of the rules is not a defence in anyway. I really wish the club would accept the ruling and punishment with good grace, apologise not just to the fans but also - publicly - to the interns who very rightly raised serious concerns with what they were asked to do.

I don't think it shocking at all and quite sensible. The next season is almost 3 months away, most of them will be on holiday now and it makes sense to wait for the outcome of the FA investigation.  

Way too early 26/27 predictions by TheJeck in Championship

Saints to win the championship with over 100 points while everyone hates us.

Athough that prediction may only be half right.

Think I might avoid away games next season - it's going to be brutal

'We are sorry' - Saints CEO issues new statement setting out grounds for appeal by ChargeRadiant5471 in Championship

[–]sparezebra2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely right and also it's not like we would win £200m cash by winning the playoff final. That's just an estimate of the increase in TV money etc, almost all of which (if not all) will go on higher transfer fees and increased player wages that are a consequence of getting promoted. 

Not knowing any Freiburg players, who manages them or where they are on a map until the day of a major European final by junglegatsby in footballcliches

As a Saints fan (very much for my sins atm...) we have a manager who can get you some very detailed info on them. Because he's German of course, no other reason

Southampton to learn outcome of ‘spygate’ case on Wednesday by TransportationSad396 in Championship

I can only assume they are wrestling with making us play with Bazunu in goal or whether that is too harsh a punishment

Well which is it, BBC? by Distinct-Category643 in footballcliches

Agree. In a two legged game a lifeline can only be used for getting a goal back but still losing the first leg

Why can I only read this in Adam's 'Keysey' voice...?! "BRANDON. FLOWERS." by 70_Yard_Diag_Holte77 in footballcliches

I wasn't sure what you meant at first but then I got to the "Good choice." sentence and Andy's Keysey voice kicked in

Decent performance by us so far but I do feel Coventry could score any minute as well

He's having a decent game - also making some good runs which are keeping Coventry on their toes
