To be fair to Sullivan this is cancel culture at its worst. He's never been charged with any offences and whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? UK society makes me sick - people being 'canceled' left right and center because pearl clutching morons think they are 'holier than thou' and so much better than the plebs. Look at the witch hunt against Saints (and Tonda) for something that is absolutely miniscule in the great scheme of things.

I would hope, in the event of a ban, Saints take both the EFL and the FA to the cleaners. Hopefully does not come to that as how on earth could the FA ban him when Saints have also been booted out of the play-offs. But, beacuse it's Saints, I can see them doing that and Man City getting off scott free (just like Chelsea did) for their true cheating

While I quite like Blackmore his hysterical, and OTT, reaction to Spygate will likely cost him any access or goodwill to the club. His reaction was astoundingly bad - calling it the darkest day in the clubs history (conveniently forgetting about Higgins). Reckon he has really shot his bolt on this one - the fact he did not get the interview with SOlak is very telling. Totally hysterical, pearl clutching reaction to what was a very minor infraction with a totally reprehensible and OTT reaction from the EFL and Boro which he was strangely silent on.

You really are thick one aren't you? Results didn't improve until he ditched 5 at the back.....well he won 6 of his first 7 with 5 at the back. Tonda is an excellent manager and should be headng for the top, this incident not withstanding. With the mass hysteria around 'spygate' anyone would think Saints had bribed refs, injured other players on purpose or were making bets on the games. In the great scheme of things what he and Saints did was stupid but minor. This whole thing has been blown out of all proportion. This idiocy and holier than thou approach realy started during COVID times and has remained ever since. It's really quit pathetic.

I hope Tonda stays. Yes he messed up big time but the hysteria and clutching of pearls by Blackmore and co is pathetic. Does anyone really think this does not happen with pretty much every other club? With him at the helm I think we would be top 2.

Yes, Saints broke the rules and got caught. If anyone thinks no other club does this you're mad: they are just not stupid enough to get caught. Yes Saints deserved a fine but the penalty applied is absolutely ridiculous and without precedence. Putting Boro in the final could/should open up a whole can of legal worms from the likes of Millwall and Wrexham. Sainst should go for the jugular on this one. The treatment meted out by the 'independent' panel is utterly ridiculous.

I remember that evening at the Dell very well. The band were absoluely terrible and they did their best to incite a riot with the Leeds fans if I recall correctly. I can't recall if their set got pulled or they finished but I do know the Leeds fans were out for blood!

Always a long shot to win out but a draw afer playing so badly is not to be sniffed at. Play-offs guaranteed that almost no-one would have seen 2 mnths ago. Onwards to the Cup semi....we will have to play miles better to just not get hammered

This is a terrible performance so far. Terrible passing, terrrible defending and just not at the races.

Long, long way to go but very disjointed so far. No attacking threat and looking very vulnerable to balls played over the top

Bloody hell, Wood has been awful so far. His terrible header out started the build up to that goal but Manning's defending was terrible too

Just watched his interview from last night on the Saints website. He comes across so well and seems incredible he is only 21 (and that was last week so happy birthday). I really have enjoyed seeing his progression this season. Charles always gets a lot of plaudits but Bragg's efforts were superb last night. Always in the right place to receive the ball, passing the ball well and some real bite in his challenges. Hopefully, both him and Tonda get big contract extensions in the summer. Bragg is developing into a real quality player and did not look out of place against Arsenal.

You're quite right. Doh!

You do know he is a POmpey fan right?

Not sure what point you're trying to make. That reflects exactly what a remarkable job he's done.
