Saint Marky

It was Skala mate. The hotel was a Tui 4 star, it wasn’t, barely 3 star! Can’t complain, the food and beer were good, local spirits ok. The hotel ran a shuttle bus to the main Skala beach, but never bothered going, we just walked across the road, down some steep steps to the bay. The locals went there, though it was never busy, so we knew it wouldn’t get any better than that. It really was beautiful there, get yourself there mate, you won’t regret it!

Took the family to Orlando early June last year, for the fourth visit! It’s great, but so full on that I found a cheap all inclusive holiday to Kefalonia in July that we booked and it was absolutely fantastic. There was a small pebbled cove opposite our hotel. I’d nick a handful of rolls from breakfast and feed the myriad fish in the Chrystal clear waters.I think we spent more time down at that cove than in the hotel! Definitely will be going back to kefalonia.

I would definitely recommend the reverse cowgirl with her, although she’s getting a bit loose now

I personally don’t give a flying fuck now, it’s done/history. I want the best chance for promotion, Tonda without doubt is that, regardless of who’s to blame, if the players and board can accept his incumbency.

I just want the club to have the best shot at automatic promotion next year, with our last year of parachute payments and a minus 4 start, that is going to be extremely difficult, especially with Burnley, Wolves and West Ham in a already very competitive league. Yes Tonda was beyond stupid, in what little advantage the spying gained, but Tonda is best placed to achieve this. I don’t care about the abuse that other fans will spew our way, it will eventually fade and be forgotten if we get promoted. The million dollar question is would the players accept this, let’s all hope they do and we can keep this oven ready Premiership team together. A new manager and mass player exodus, well we all know the script don’t we…

Goal keeping error, maybe we should be a little more empathetic and extend the olive branch, here you go Gibbo, an Irish International keeper with premiership experience, yours for £18 million.

Who’s gibbo gonna blame/ Sue now. Still feel shit, we’d have destroyed this hull team today, but hold on Hull and let’s all get to work on the Middlesbrough forums.

As shit as we are all feeling today, imagine how our players are, especially as this was none of their doing, dark times.

What really pisses me off more than anything, is we finally had a squad that had proven we could go toe to toe with the best in the premiership. Whether the spying helped, I suspect minimally at best,a manager finally respected by the players and giving their all for him. A manager that seemed was going to keep us in the prem, had we won the final and one that would have got us up automatically, if we hadn’t employed Will. What now? Baz back in goal, we wont get Peretz now or Larin even. It’s been stated Jander wants out, who else, Charles, Downs, Aziz,Ramsdale, probably most of them. Who’s in their last year now, or got 2 to go, will they be extending? Aren’t Bree and Ross out of contract, players you’d want to keep for this year’s championship attempt. If wed been fined, points deduction and-we’d lost the final, I suspect most of the squad would have probably stayed to try to get us up next year, and most of us would have probably eventually accepted keeping him as manager, if we were to continue our prolific form. You’ve got a decent Wolves and probably West Ham next year and at the mo, we’re starting 4 points behind. It’s a tough strong league, even with parachute payments. If we don’t go up, it will be even harder when the payments stop. Add to that with more than likely a new manager and new players, what a bloody mess. Totally unacceptable and unnecessary, the fucking naive, ignorant stupidity and arrogance of all those involved and to still actually send someone to spy on a semi final opponent, when you know that an analyst you sacked, now works for that opponent and thus knows your practice’s, I can only assume Tonda has a great football brain, but a very low IQ. anyone else stuck on the ‘still hurting’ phase of grief? ..and to add salt into the wound, Sky Sports have just shown a clip of Middlesbrough (at the airport I think) stating their finally on their way to Wembley, FUCKOFF

That’s enough for me now, I’m done with this fucking shambles of a club. Anyone know when the season tickets go on sale?

Shows how shit AI is, takes a picture of Russell Grant and tries to pass it off as Shaun Ryder.

I have it on good authority he’s taken this case on a ‘no win no fee basis’. ignore, S Clarke beat me to it, story of my life, always late to the party.

I haven’t gone back through the thread too far, so pissed off, to see if already posted, but I’ve just found an email in junk from Wembley Parking asking what team I’m supporting. Went on Wembley Parking and it’s now changed to Middlesbrough and available for them to book. It also states this: Please note due to the change in competing teams for the SkyBet Championship Playoff Final to be held at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 23rd May 2026 all Southampton supporter bookings will be automatically refunded. Public sales for Middlesbrough supporters will be available to book from 13:15 on Wednesday 20th May 2026. If you have any queries relating to parking for this event please use the live chat or email info@epdataservices.com. I haven’t asked for a refund, was going to wait for the verdict, just in case (but I feel now with all the things changed for a Middlesbrough final, don’t believe it will be reversed again) I don’t know if that means I will lose my money, as obviously it will go past the 72 hour period for a refund. What a fucking mess this whole saga is, laughable really, a kid with an iPhone behind a tree, what the fuck were they thinking.

I neither confirmed or denied I was ITK

Two bottles of brandy

I have it on good authority that Saints will be in the final Saturday, as they have agreed to certain caveats to proceed. Firstly, the Middlesbrough squad will accompany our team, walking hand in hand onto the pitch in full Middlesbrough kit as mascots, so they get a taste of that famous Wembley final atmosphere. Half time entertainment will include a centre circle bare knuckle fight between Kim and Tonda, which Tonda must lose and then cry like a baby, with the concluding act being a naked Spors being tarred and feathered by Gibson, who’s dressed as Jesus.

I do hope we get a very loud and prolonged rendition of ‘ Fuck Sky Sports’, the question is do we do it during the match, or at the end when we’ve been promoted?

All we’ve got to do is pin it all on Tonda. We take a European human rights lawyer into the meeting, explain as an immigrant Tonda didn’t understand this was not allowed, he’s foreign and as you can see from his long pauses before answering a question in interviews, struggles with our language and spying was invented in Germany and is encouraged over there. Also he hates our mac chicken nuggets, theirs are far superior, as are the kebabs, so his human rights are being violated. Christ, we will probably get points added and Tonda will be knighted and offered the England manager job, so relax everyone.

I’ve just seen a post saying Gibson pushed so hard, he’s just shat out his adams apple.

Yeah, vote green, what could go wrong?

Like the majority of the country?

Yeah hilarious, but unfortunately highly unlikely!

I truly admire your Saints loyalty, but I doubt there is a team on the planet that would beat Millwall AND Hull at Wembley, if you managed to get past the 8 defenders, you’d be facing 2 goalies 😀

So proud of this team, what an effort they all put in. Our end was fking rocking. They announced only 70000 in attendance doesn’t Wembley hold 80000? well we filled our end. The plastics were probably just waiting for the final, I really hope they lose. Leaving the stadium, having to walk amongst the mancs , what a load of arrogant, entitled twats.
