Which is interesting as you can get them from a Mush in Shepperd's Bush!!!

But give him his due: There IS a team called Saints FC in the championship, with a manger called Tonde Eckert. So Kudos for getting that right.

And because what Tonde and the club did wasn't spying on three other clubs training. That isn't a crime. It was Spying on three other clubs training within a 72 hour window before we played them. If Will Salt, (gorblesshim) had arrived a day early, we wouldn't be in this mess.

I missed out on the games on here. I reckon the investigation will be complete and the announcement as to Tonde's sanction will be on Wednesday 14th October He'll get a three week touchline ban and a £32k fine Sorry, other people on here were making stuff up on here, I thought it was a game!!!

Steve Grant giving it plenty to Henry on Twitter with just two words. And plenty of support for Steve as well in the comments As well as Starlink Broadband for £40 a month.

I think the Media and all of these pundits and AI generated click bait on YouTUbe are forgetting one thing. Southampton isn't guilty of spying. They are guilty of spying within the 72 hour window. It is perfectly legal to do it outside the 72 hour window, and in the Premiership, and in Germany and Italy. "Man Caught Speeding on the M27" is a better headline than "Man Caught doing 54 MPH on the M27 when a speed reduction was in force to 50 mph" Doesn't quite cut the same impact.

It seems that when the Spying was announced, a lot of teams, pundits, talking heads and especially the media were clutching their pearls and saying, quite rightly, that this was a despicable act. When we were thrown out of the Playoff, and LARGE PROPORTION came out and said the punishment was harsh, some even saying it was TOO harsh and didn't fit the crime. So Niel Harris was full of shit. Now we wait to see what their opinion of Tonda's punishment is.

I think, based on his comments about the EFL and his Video that Dragan is fuming and wants to go to war and get us out of the Championship and away from them. I think the signing of Laren and Peretz was a and new deals all round was a statement of intent. Also, if i were him and Tonde I would now apply "malicious compliance". Use the attitude “You've punished us for breaking the rules, so from now on we'll follow every rule to the letter and make sure everyone else does too.” To the point of scrutinising EVERYTHING. And grassing them up. For me with respect the Middlesborough and certian others I would use "Weaponised Compliance" Is Middlesborough breaching rules by commenting in the media on Tondes fine? Grass them up. "Hi, FA? This is Tonde here. I have to be squeaky clean of course, I have learnt my lesson and I am learning the Rules. But in doing so, I think Middlesborough have breached FA Rule E3.1 which says: The rule prohibits conduct that is improper, insulting, abusive or brings the game into disrepute. It can apply to statements made by clubs, managers and other football participants. I think their comments on my fall into that. The FA has previously charged managers for inappropriate media comments under this rule. Sorry If I've got this wrong, I just happen to see it in my copy of FA Rules. " I would have refs counting players, I'd be ringing up to complain of Improper media comments(FA E3.1), Accusations against referees alleging bias or dishonesty without adequate grounds, (FA E3.1) Touchline misconduct (FA E3.1 / E20), Supporter misconduct (FA E21), Club officials' misconduct (FA E20) Discriminatory conduct (FA E3.2). We did wrong. Tonde did wrong. We bin punished. We are owning it. I'm not saying I have done this in my Civils career, and I'm not saying I haven't. But my company has received sanctions for something everyone does, and I've applied a Scorched Earth policy against others. That is where I get the above expressions from. CRY HAVOK, AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF (FOOTBALL)!!! (To paraphrase Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 1) And lets get out of this league.

Did he say which Tuesday or Wednesday? A month would be fine at a push. Or even a year?

Well, its all going to happen at once. Man City sanctions And Tonde Sanctions

If the club knew. They would leak it to the media. There was a lot of vitriol and attaches against us for cheating, which changed to sympathy due to the harsh nature of the punishment. And with the Chelsea let off, and delay to the Man City 134 crimes, they probably are trying to appear harsh, but not too harsh, as our crime is nothing like what they both have done. They benefitted enormously by what they did, we still lost, and it's only a crime in the EFL and only within 3 days of the match.

I think they'll wait, see if we are doing well in the league and look like promotion candidates, and if so, Ban him to end of the season.

Dial M For Murder? Watch out for the Tennis player, (not a spoiler, just some fun).

You got my vote too.

Well, that's one of my votes sorted. Good luck Louis. Hope you can do a good job for us. Remember, we know where you post!!!

Aahhh but you still come back!!!!! None of us can resist the dark mother of deadline day.

All, I don't normally do this but the catering overall outside at the Northam end not sure the change is for the best. The catering van is back, and the burgers were disgusting, I had a Bacon Burger that the bacon was extra crispy, the burger was burnt, the roll was stale, I queued for 30 mins so missed the beginning of the second half. I threw it away, and I don't normally throw food away. Didn't have time to go back and complain. Also, the automatic beer machines for the drink. It's fine if there are two of you drinking the same, But I'm a Cider man, and my nipper drinks lager, so you either queue up twice, or buy two drinks when you are there at a go, and I still had to queue up at the regular bar to get my grandson a drink. I'll tell you, it must be bad if I go on Social Media and moan. I have contacted the club, and I did last year and asked why we cant have the Kwackers van back. I'm not a great burger fan and prefer a proper hot dog, with a proper sausage but this option is taken away now unless I get one of the soggy ones inside. Anyone else have to put up with this sub-par crap? Rant over

Thanks for that There is not much their that I don't agree with. I think AI is a big risk as people think it's infallible......and it isn't. Sainsbury kicked a man out because facial recognition wrongly identified him as a shop lifter. AI is constantly used to find risks and ends up fabricating evidence and even hacking sites. A feller used it to book gum classes and it hacked in deleted people's bookings and put him at the top.of the list. You stay safe though. I do like following your posts. Sometimes you're the voice of reason in all the chaos.

What are your number 1 and 2 Whitey Grandad?

Well, hate to see him go, but wish him all the best. He'll do well for Fulham, I reckon. A good bit of business by all.

No didn't he say he is going to be deployed for 7 months, so is in the military I guess.

I've got my ticket once more and my question ready for it, which is: I've been a Southampton FC supporter for more than 40 years, and during that time the club has become far more than just a football team to me—it has become part of my identity. Supporting Saints has never been about taking the easy road. It's about loyalty when times are tough, hope when others have given up, and the quiet pride that comes from standing by your club through every high and every low. From the final years at The Dell to the move to St Mary's, I've watched Southampton evolve while never losing the values that make the club unique. I've been privileged to see Matt Le Tissier produce moments of pure genius, experienced dramatic escapes from relegation, celebrated unforgettable promotions, endured painful relegations, and enjoyed cup runs that united an entire city. I've cheered incredible victories, suffered crushing defeats, and lived through seasons that tested every fan's resolve. Yet not once did I ever consider turning my back on the club. Being a Saints supporter means believing that heart, determination and togetherness can overcome bigger budgets and greater expectations. It means taking pride in a club renowned for developing exceptional young talent, playing with courage, and representing Southampton with honesty and passion. There has always been a resilience about this club—a refusal to give in—that reflects the city and the people who call it home. Over four decades, managers have come and gone, players have become legends before moving on, and fortunes have risen and fallen. But one thing has never changed: the feeling I get whenever I see those famous red and white stripes. It's a feeling of belonging. Southampton Football Club isn't simply something I support; it's woven into the fabric of my life. It's memories shared with family and friends, Saturdays filled with hope, and a lifetime of believing that the next match could be special. The last few seasons have been quite interesting with the Promotions and relegations, the fight backs in the game and the Spygate Saga. Football clubs often describe themselves as families. Southampton is one of the few that genuinely feels like one. Through every disappointment and every triumph, that bond has only grown stronger. Win, lose or draw, my pride in being a Saint has never wavered—and it never will. My Question is this. Could the board give away disposable cameras with all purchases of a programme? And when is the Meat and Potato pie making a come back?

The way I see it is this. 'First case your honour, Chelsea Dave is accused of 15 counts of fraud against numerous companies to achieve a competitive advantage, companies have gone bust, people are out of work, and they continued to do it until a new management team realised how decidedly calcareous their position is, so they pleaded guilty and helped the police whilst the investigation was ongoing.' Judge: 'Based on what I see and with coming forward, my sentence is 2 years suspended sentence and £10 fine. NEXT'. 'Second case is Southampton Pete. He was caught filming his competitors so he could gain a competitive advantage in the industry, but unfortunately didn't gain anything as they were unable to use the information incorrectly.' Judge: 'Based on what I see, they deserve a life sentence with no chance of parole for 15 years, and a £200 million pound fine and they should consider themselves lucky that the death sentence has been repealed.' When challenged why, the judge pointed out that Tottenham Stan had almost been punished, West Ham Ron had been punished and punishing Chelsea Dave would upset the status quo, where as Southampton Pete no body would mind if he was knocked down a peg or two.

I see Emmerdale have cottoned onto Spygate in its latest storyline

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