Secret Site Agent

I'd have swooped in and offered him a start.....on £6k, week.

Thank christ for that, I was worried we had signed him:

What I want to know is, and more importantly, Can Ed Sheeran play left back?

Just found out that, Apparently due to spying on Middlesborough, FIFA have now taken the unprecedented move of banning Southampton FC from the Final 16 in the World Cup.

He makes reference to “This was never going to be enough for a football media whose coverage of this melodrama has been embarrassing in itself." And then does the same. I think the way we have approached the fallout is, in itself, quite dramatic and bull headed. And most seem to, after berating us before the sanctions, now have sympathy for the punishment which didn't suit the crime.

Or 11.25 Skacels by my reckoning. That is assuming he has signed yet.

That, me old mate Turkish, is where we differ 😁

And where was Will Salt when this happened, ummm? He's been upto his old tricks again, maybe?

Or Retired from football?

"Swing Low Old Rupert Lowe Coming for to send immigrants home. Swing Lowe Old Rupert Lowe Saviour of the Nazi Genome."

You think you're eyesight's bad, I thought it was Roy Kent from Ted Lasso at first. Had to give me head a wobble and my eyes a rub.

I dont know though. The way he was in his statement, and the way we are bullishly pushing ahead, getting the sponsors on board, getting the signings in, supporting Tonde, (which I though he would go the other way), I get the feeling he is MIGHTELY PISSED OFF with the EFL, and has decided to give a big FUCK YOU to them by making sure we get promoted. Also, at any opportunity where impropriety might raise its head from other teams, he'll/the club will, be straight on the phone to the EFL. We will have to be squeaky clean, as we will be under a microscope, but we'll happily grass....i mean inform the EFL of wrong doing. And even a minor infraction, they will have to act now. Which'll take some of the fun out of the game on the pitch, and all eyes will be on the off field shenanigans. The way there was a lot of backlash and everyone condemning us BEFORE the sanction, and then we were kicked out of the play off, they all suddenly having sympathy for us now, believing the punishment doesn't fit the crime, (Chelsea and Man City being mentioned in the same breath,) and started to feel a little sorry for us, I think is fuelling his anger and he sees the only revenge being promotion. He'll even be there at the Saints/Middleborough game singing the chants with us, (You would wonder). And I guess our way of working through this will be to sing back at the travelling fans and put their songs to bed. Just my take, of course.

RIP Sheps. Hopefully this season will be for you mate.

Fair play but my point is that we probably spied on them legally.

I don't think it is because we didn't want info on the other 40, or that we didn't spy, but we just didn't spy within the 72 hour window. Remember that's the crime, not the spying.

You got to be shitting me. Really? Dragan's determined to invest to fuck off everyone now, and will put his money where his mouth is.

We've Edozie on the Left We've Fellows on the Right We've MI5 as Team Scouts And they say your shite.

A few from me: We know where you're training, We know what you'll do, We watched from the hillside, With binoculars too, You'll never surprise us, We'll always see through, We are Southampton And we're watching you! Or this one Who needs a scout when you've got a hill? Who needs a scout when you've got a hill? Spying on Boro, Spying on Boro, Who needs a scout when you've got a hill? Then You can hide behind the trees, You can hide behind the wall, But the Saints are watching, And we'll see it all! Not too sure about this one We're Southampton FC, We watch training for free, With an IPhone and a flask, And an Intern on the grass On a hill with Tonde and tea!

Here's anther take on the situation, from a High Court Judge: https://www.insideworldfootball.com/2026/05/26/op-ed-sir-nicholas-mostyn-kc-soutampton-fc-admiral-byng-is-shot-again/?fbclid=IwY2xjawSE6CBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEe724WGsjmpeHhgrbLA_KbDZGBQEqMPc6hOqVSEcS4fZa5TlZQ0MnjkEc2VFo_aem_QLv8pPGIJcKwrMXhgzFB8w By the way, the french sentence from Candide is: In this country, it is good to kill an admiral from time to time to encourage the others. Sounds like he believes we are hard done by with the penalty. Not sure if we are looking to drag this out any further.

What a way to go Absolutely terrible Puts everything else that's happened recently into perspective. Rest in peace victor.

He has ruined his career as no one will trust him again. They will always be wary on what material he is collecting on them for the future. Better to not employ than risk him taking your dirty laundry with him. All companies do dodgy things and get away with a lot but no one wants to trust someone with no loyalty. He won't be appreciated by Boro now the event is over only eyed with suspicion. He can benefit them no more. And where did it get them? No where in the scheme of things. Take what will benefit you and use it but keep it to yourself.

The reason I look so young is because I bath in the tears of Middlesbrough Fans.

I think we should still go anyway, and that includes Tonda and the team. Just get there early and take over the place.

I have a Kia sportage diesel hybrid that has done over 120, 000 miles and is 5 years old. I have used it for work mostly It recently had some major works done, such as the glow plugs, cylinder injector and Oil pressure sensor. Turns out the piston rings are shot and it'll cost £5-7k to get the engine done. The car itself is only worth between £4k and £5k fully working. What are my options getting this sold on a "Spares and Repairs" basis? If I could find someone who would source and install and reconditioned or second hand engine I would bite their hand off as I could sell the car. Any suggestions gratefully received, especially after a week like the one we just had.
