Horrible dive by the Spurs player. Cheating if you may.

That’s quite something, bottling promotion THREE TIMES! 😅

Fuck you, you fucking cunts!

Yup, this basically, we are banged to rights and it’s absolutely shocking how things have unraveled. A key thing about leadership is that you are ACCOUNTABLE for the actions of those beneath you. Not only must you ensure they are sufficiently knowledgeable about everything they need to know (i.e. the rules), you have to follow this up by being actively inquisitive about how things are being done (I wonder how many times Parsons spoke to Salt and asked him how he was and what he was doing this week etc?). This whole thing is a shameful farce and a terrible reflection on what many of us already knew, that those running this club are grossly incompetent. This is why they all need to fuck off, from top to bottom, as this mess permeated right through the hierarchy.

I'm in denial about the first bit of your response! As for the latter, you are so very right. As hard as we can try, there's simply no binning this club off is there.

To be fair, I didn't even think to include them (nor others like Bob Higgins and Clive Woodward).

I'm sorry, I had to let things out otherwise my head may have exploded. 😅

Thank you for making me cry and laugh in the space of 10 seconds! 😅

Like many I guess, I’m experiencing a mix of disbelief, sadness and anger at what’s happened over the last few weeks. Right now, I’m rueing the day that I chose to support Saints. That was in 1992 when we were a respected club with few blots against our name (the infamous 1972 “oh look at that” 7-0 defeat at Leeds being one). But that was more than made up for by the glorious FA Cup win, the magical Le Tissier era and those teams of the early Premier League seasons. I was always so proud to be a Saints fan, despite our lack of sporting achievements. However, fast forward 34 years and just look at the utter shite we have had to endure. Things that immediately spring to mind are: Ali Dia (an urban myth that will never go away) The Harry Redknapp saga League One minus 10 Saints 0 Leicester 9 Man Utd 9 Saints 0 Second worst team in Premier League history (by a hair) And now Spygate, which almost feels like all of the above combined. I mean WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK have we done to deserve all that? Genuine question, can any other club come close to rivalling this shameful collection of embarrassments? Like mugs though, we’ll probably all come back for another kick in the nuts next season (where we have -4 to look forward to straight off the bat). FFS!

You can only imagine what will happen if other whistleblowers start coming out of the cracks making substantiated claims of spying by other clubs. This could bring down all of English football based on the precedent set by our punishment.

Good points. The thing we are battling here (with no chance of winning) is that the act of 'spying' seems to be viewed by the masses as far worse than the act of cheating financially. James Bond aside, the former seems incredibly un-British even if it probably doesn't come close to someone gaining an advantage through financial foul-play. It's why we absolutely hate to see diving etc., whereas it's almost celebrated overseas.

Sadly, I don't think that level of rationale exists in the playground! 😅

I'm absolutely fuming like most, but I guess they are waiting for the outcome of the appeal before making a statement to the fans. I expect that to come today. I genuinely feel sorry for kids at school, I'm a grown adult but definitely wasn't looking forward to the conversations from people at work today.

Or do it like that event in Gladiators where a mystery one emerges out of some smoke at the last second. 😅
