Not even Pep would be able to get a tune out of our "mediocre championship players" though...

Before or after tax avoidance?

P.s. wasn't there a poster on here who is ex-colleague of Quinlan? Time to call in that beer he owes you....

Need an earlobe check on these chaps, pronto...

Indeed... Keep up Stripey... They lost because we spied on them from 150 metres with an iPhone FFS!

How on Earth does a team that were so disadvantaged by 'Spygate' end up with more players than Saints in the 'Team of the Play-Off Semi-Finals'...? Surely some mistake...? 😉

@Turkish I'm looking at parking options... Did you book at the official Wembley car parks or independent? Appreciate a link if poss. Cheers 👍🏻

Yay... I got Club Wembley level tickets too... love a bit of posh, me...

Have they opened up all our blocks for sale now, or still holding some back?

This... our ticket website is almost as amateurish as our spying department

This has been my concern... will be just my luck to get decent seats in my basket just as they pull the plug on ticket sales!

I've heard TV screens for all the major channels will first turn black followed by the national anthem, prior to the announcement

I wonder if they've ever checked behind it for bugs...?

It wouldn't surprise me if it transpires there was some kind of collaboration / interaction between the two of them prior to the incident....

Ah, ok... is there a possibility that the team traveled up on the Friday but we sent an advance party / entourage of support staff up a day or so before? (not that this probably matters in the general scheme of things... just my natural curiosity)

I was comparing two possibilities, both of whihc would be "bad" reputationally... I was simply suggesting that "willfully cheating" damages our reputation more than "inadvertantly cheating". Maybe, maybe not... just floating it as a notion...

Yeah, that's what I'm now thinking.... hmm... interesting (perhaps).... Do we know what hotel the club stayed at? (Not sure why knowing that might be informative, but felt inclined to ask!)

Yep, totally agree.... but from a reputational perspective, doing something wrong out of ignorance won't be viewed as heiniously as willfully doing something wrong.... it's the difference between the press being able to lable Tonda a "cheat" versus "a bit of a naive nicompoop"... reputation matters....

The pre-match press conference was on the Wednesday, so I guess our entire entourage could have been up there by the time of the incident on the Thursday morning?
