Exactly. And essentially confirmed by Nicky Butt (a former (current? No idea) part-owner of an EFL club).

Do we think any clubs adapt their approach to training specifically because of this rule? I.e. is the norm for any match day specific tactical training to only ever take place in the 3 days leading up to a game? Seems unlikely.

If someone watches the opposite warming up/practicing set prices half an hour before kick off, is that spying? It's within 72hours. As I definitely saw Kim, and others, having a few glances over before both legs. I'd hazard a guess they've done the same before other games this season too.

They would have probably made exactly the same complaint about whichever other mugs had to play them in the semis. And would have still lost over 2 legs. Because they're bottling, cry baby bell ends.

If that's the case, then quite frankly, nobody should give a shit. I know I certainly don't, and I'm generally a pretty good egg. If it was a concern, 72 hours shouldn't be mention the rules.

I won't believe it until someone tells me his debit card has been used to buy a coffee.

We should play it at Boro's training ground for the lol's.

Didn't people say that about the Boro game?

Wait! You mean other clubs have a fence around their training grounds. Seems unusual.

Agree with the sentiment, but I'd struggle to name three people on Earth who's opinions I care about less. It's really not worth losing any sleep over them.

Probably stretching the imagination a bit here, but is it possible that for whatever reason he completely innocently traveled up north in advance of the home leg (who knows, to visit friends/family...any other reason in the world) stayed at a hotel and by pure coincidence, without previously realising, was the same place Boro train. Once he's realised, he's sneakily gone to have a look and sent a couple of pics on WhatsApp along the lines of "Lol you're never going to guess who's training outside my hotel"? And then needed a poo, hence the sudden trip to the toilet.

Appreciate not the main issue here, but genuine question, is it legal to disclose this information about someone's spending habits publicly?

Sky Sports News resident bitter moron, Charlie Austin, is on Sky Sports News soon to give his valued opinion on what an appropriate punishment should be for Saints. When Charlie Austin talks, people listen, because he really knows his stuff, so I hope he puts us in a balanced and positive light.

SPORTING SANCTIONS NOW!!!

Sleep well buddy 😘

Ayling seemed on good terms with THB in the second half. He can't have been that offended.

WE WILL BE (GOING TO WEM-BER-LY)

Waste of a free kick from Manning. Why not keep possession!

My cat just shat itself!!!!

Looking increasingly unlikely that we will score the 4 more goals we need to over turn the 3-0 first leg deficit.

Bloody hell, Peretz is great but makes me nervous sometimes....really hope a brain fart from him doesn't cost us.

Yep, normally when people say this about the opposition, I disagree and say people need to take off their Saints-tinted glasses, but there have been so many snide remarks about sportsmanship, spying etc. that it's bordering on unprofessional.

2000 of them in the away end. Oops, sorry, you said pens...

Ball boy pissing off Boro players. Bit of a prat, but good lad. Sky commentators banging on about us being kicked out of the play offs again.

SPORTING SANCTIONS NOW!!!!!!!
