Anyone else get the feeling this season is about to go down the shitter, or is it just me being old, grumpy and pessimistic...? Jander on a perpetual Saintsy "back in two weeks" rinse-and-repeat cycle... Peretz and Larin both picking up injuries on international duty... Azaz sidetracked by political issues... Jack Stephens and George 'Norwich 3rd choice reject' Long on standby... Tonda about to be sent down for 17 years... Sport Republic and Parsons still at the helm... Pompey waiting in the wings to capitalise on our woes... Any other negatives I've missed....?

Internet Kitten Tracker...?

Doesn't this depend on whether or not the rules the FA have in place for such proceedings allow clubs to make interim statements or whether clubs are sworn to secrecy until the process has completed...?

Licence

Bought by a Czech billionaire who's only interest in parcel deliveries... Coupled with toothless regulation...

Yeah, nothing untoward about that sponsorship deal at all... No-sir-ee... (Apart from the dodgy looking squirrel, and Gary "two ways to spell my surname" Diaz / Dias, of course...)

I'm not surprised in the slightest... Since when have "journalists" (these days) actually been investigative (especially local ones)? They're just reporters, saying what they see, rather than digging for underlying information.... P.s. the same annoying generation that ask: "Can I get...?" when buying something at a pub, cafe, restaurant, etc... 🤦🏻

Yeah, I'm clinging onto the hope that the Man City situation leads the FA to hold back on any additional draconian action against Tonda for this very reason. But that does somewhat hinge on the FA actually thinking about the impact of what they do, and the context thereof, which somewhat dissipates any such hope...!

Israel 3 down after 25 minutes... I thought their keeper was supposed to be half decent...?

I'd have had him back as a '70 min sub' option... But obviously "past it" and "too injury prone" according to the Saintsweb intelligentsia...

Yes, as long as you put a passive-agressive ", right?" at the end of every question...

Quick 'out of curiosity' question to anyone ITK... If the club wanted to, would they be at liberty to 'go public' on how the hearing went on Thursday, even if only releasing a holding statement that probably doesn't tell us much, or are they under an embargo not to say a single word, not even a one-liner holding statement, until the FA say we can? I know the response to my curiosity on here will be: "What's the point of saying anything at all if they can't actually tell us any details" but that's not my point. I'm just curious as to what they are at liberty to say, even if there's "no point" in doing so. Thank you kindly fellow Saintswebbers

Does this mean Lord Pannick is going to be too busy to be involved in our appeal...?

Meanwhile...

Attention seekers? On an internet football forum? Acting strange? Nah... That's normal mate...

I'm starting to get worried now... Given our spying is the 'worst rule breach in the history of the game', he's bound to get a more punitive sanction than this fella...

Tweaked it for you...

Bielsa would be the most amusing IMO (zero chance of that happening, I know) but agree Edwards would have a high chortle rating 👍🏻

I'm Mrs Eckert!
