I think the biggest concern has to be not going up this year with the parachute payments ending, then what? Are any of our best players still going to be as Sms? I think not, we'll end up with 10 unknowns on poor wages and Stephens as captain, doesn't bear thinking about 👀😯

We're a bit shit really, wood dropped for Stephens? Tonda is going to make a rod for his own back if he's not careful.

I'm getting horrible Russ ball vibes with this team... Stephens is awful, has maybe 5 half decent performances per season yet is a shoe in, and wood needs to get some bottle from somewhere, for a big bloke he's bloody soft. We so need 2 CB's that we're not going to get....

I think Tonda is a busted flush to be honest, the whole spy gate issue has affected him, his team selection is odd to say the least and a lot of our so called better players really aren't playing for him. THB is off, scienza obviously wants out and fellows and azaz aren't interested, no midfield to speak of and Stephens who shouldn't be captain of a pub quiz team.... A long season ahead.

Why am I not surprised, no midfield and as per awful mistakes.Poor subs, Larin shouldn't have been taken off and what the hell is putting BBD on all about?? I think a few players minds are elsewhere tbh... Harwood Bellis, scienza....

My God, the hydration break was the most exciting part of that 25 mins.

Spain trying to walk it in the net. Stats. Spain passes. 4 million. Cape Verde. Passes. 7. Score. Nil nil.

I really think people don't realize how bad this is for us squad wise. Every decent player we have will be on their way, for one the potential loss of earnings but more importantly they're not going to want all the crap that will be thrown at them week in week out playing for a cheating club. You can kid yourselves that it's a minor indiscretion but that matters not. Tonda and his staff will be sacked, sports republic will try and get top dollar for our good players and the not so good will go on the cheap. We'll end up with a cheap foreign manager and a squad of loans or journey men on lesser wages, that's what will happen after the world Cup. The club has now effectively been ruined by individuals with the fucking brains of cauliflower.

45 years I've supported Saints and I've never known a darker day for the club,I never feel sorry for players on their massive salaries but I do for this team,I wouldn't blame a single one of them for getting onto their agents and getting a move, who'd want to stay? It's toxic,toxic ownership and toxic decision making.And every single season ticket owner should get they're money back because the club have massively cheated them too.

Well I've just read that apparently Middlesbrough have officially approached the EFL and demanded we are removed from the final and they take our place, you couldn't make this up, the neck to officially ask for our removal....

In that case I'm a twat. 🤪

Why does this bloody commentator call Matsuki, MATSKI it does my bloody head in.

I'm utterly bemused as to why Downes hasn't started. We are giving them so much space, and Charles needs a rocket up his arse.

If that same 11 comes back on 2nd half Tonda needs sectioning,I'm actually lost for words on how shocking we are and how Boro have failed to score, seriously what on earth is going on, we have absolutely no midfield,Larin, azaz, fellows, Manning off. If this is nil nil at full time I'm buying a lottery ticket.

Bloody awful, wood, Manning, fellows get a grip. What's with Larin falling over constantly. 🙄🙄
