As evidenced last year when still, rightly, got crucified for playing Stewart 2 games in a row with very little break between the games and then he was out for months again. Eckert's subs were poor at the weekend but the likes of Dobbins, Mabumu, etc. should at least be able to have basic skills (like trapping the ball for starters) as opposed to being headless chickens

What an utter load of nonsense. being a starter in Serie A at 19 (2nd ranked competition in Europe) or Championship (10th ranked) is not comparable. I really thought Tonda believed in our Academy but it is seeming he is no different from the others. Robinson would have been a really good option for us this season and certainly offers more than Sam fuckin shite Edozie

Ridiculous we let him go out on loan to be left with Sam 'step over and lose the ball' Edozie who clearly does not want to be here nor is he wanted.

Mubama is a fuckin embarrassment - who sacntioned this shite signing? What a cluster fuck from Saints letting Ballard go last year. Awful performance and their goal is on Eckert....terrible subs. Mubama and Wood were absolutel shocking for their goal. Edozie being Edozie.....and the subs made no sense at all. Saints were on top and starting to look dangerous and then when Edozie and Mubama ame on it was backs to the wall the rest of the game

BBC reporting that Villa have moved on from THB and that the two clubs valuations are too far apart. Interesting if true.

Dobbin looks like a terrible buy. First two games, offered absolutely nothing. Mind you, the whole team has played terribly. Hopefully Azaz and the new striker on at half time

this is so, so poor. Experience of Stephens and Manning and 2 horrific errors between them. Dobbin looks like ARcher Mk 2 and we have not even had a shot yet. Very concerning

They're welcome to him, what a strange move - not exactly a step up. PLus STewart without a pre-season is a recipe for a multiude of injuries.

Lancashire Telegraph have confirmed the free transfer signing from Saints Of a youngster released by Saints

Argentina - scummiest bunch of players in the world. 0 shots in a World Cup final. How pathetic and ENgland really messed up not beating these thieving, cheating tossers

What an utter load of absolute shite. Ted Lasso 'cameo' is the icing on the cake of a truly embarrassing, utterly unnecessary distraction. Between this shit show and the awful game, can't wait for it all to be over.

Tuchel should be fired tonight. Fucking useless prick cost England the game. IT was there to be won and instead of trying to get the killer second the genius thought they coud sit right back and keep Argentina out for 35+ minutes. Utter embarrassment and the right team won - England did not deserve anything from that game and it's not like they are the plucky underdogs like Cape Verde or Egypt. They had the skills and power up front to do damage and chose not to. Spineless management

Now the twat brings on some attackers so we dont have 11 defenders

Ashamed and embarrased of the tactics from the fucking German twat. Shut up shop against a team you just cannot do that to for the last 30+ minutes. Shameful

😄

errr.....hate to break it to you but that's impossible as England will play Argentina in the semis if both get through the quarters

I can;t say I'm surprised you've come out with this shit, but you are definitely spouting bollox. The WOrld Cup has been a great success here in the US/Canada/Mexico - packed out stadiums, some really good games (none involving England) and attacking football (not involving ENgland). The Cape Verde vs Argentina game was one of the most memorable games in my lifetime. Amazing atmospheres at the grounds and around the stadiums with no fan violence and a party atmosphere everywhere you go. The biggest negative is seeing David bloody Beckham in what feels like every ad over here. Most definitely not shite

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
