The FA didn't charge Bielsa; and you'd think the club will be drawing attention to that in mitigation of any ban now – nothing has changed in the FA's rules. I'm interested why you think the Canada case is comparable - the charge was brought by a completely different organisation? And wasn't it also in relation to a specific ban against the use of drones?

As I said in the post, the EFL rules have changed, not the FA's. The club have been charged under the EFL's rules; Tonda will be charged under the FA's.

There's already more relevant precedent in how the FA dealt with Bielsa in 2019. It's the EFL rules that changed, not the FA's.

Salisu (apparently) played 68 league games for us in the three years he was with Saints; he's played 39 for Monaco in the three seasons since. Doesn't really feel like he's kicked on ... barely even kicked off.

Charlie Austin said that? It *must* be true.

Yeah, £3 million for Larin feels like we've been absolutely mugged off 🤦🏼‍♂️

Tonda was asked if he had any doubts about playing THB given the transfer speculation, and he just said “no”.

SaintsExtra seem to post anything and everything about Saints, no matter where it's come from. It's always worth looking at the original source to see whether it's likely to be true or, more likely, complete and utter garbage.

If he doesn't want to come to little old Southampton, we can do better IMHO.

Take putdowns and condescension out of this forum and there won't be much left.

Yeah. Of course, we could just stop paying them so much attention. Just a thought.

Can I recommend this week's Total Saints pod, where the Watford podcast guy gave a great rundown of where they are.

Don't wish to carp, but let's not turn this thread into a pun-fest.

Shea Charles played 61 games over 3 years; and wasn't his injury against Blackburn essentially caused by him being overplayed?

You're surprised that someone called hypochondriac is downbeat and negative?
