@henrywinter Class - spying is deemed class. Scoring at corners is a travesty on the game, not football. Ha ha

Southampton have always been a club that did things the right way. Attractive football, long history, loyal and vocal support, important community department, good atmosphere at the Dell and St Mary’s, develop talent, even a great cat at the training ground. A sound club. A touch of class. So as they head to Wembley, and deservedly so as they were better than Boro on the night, perhaps those who run the club and run the football side consider how to restore the club’s reputation.  Because a club who many neutrals had a soft spot for risk becoming hard to like. Some Southampton fans will not worry about what others think of them. But they should. They are currently associated with cheating - Spygate - and for allegations of discriminatory language on the pitch (which have yet to be proven). That’s not what Southampton are about.  Their head coach, Tonda Eckert, rightly earned plenty of praise for his inspirational work this season but risks coming across as charmless at times. Interesting that Boro’s coach, Kim Hellberg, in his Sky Sports interview, congratulated Southampton players and supporters but not their coach. Southampton have gained a shot at the Premier League - any Spygate sanctions permitting - but lost some respect. Saints’ board and Eckert now have to work out how to restore that good reputation. And pray that the independent disciplinary commission does not punish them severely and swiftly for Spygate. As many people want them to. #SaintsFC #SOUMID

@BobbyAFC79 Who's RB? Hinch been decent tho

@RobWoodfin1 Cala must stay at LB. He offers us real progression up the pitch. He’s even more important now White is crocked

Never thought for 1 minute he’d make the final. Somehow Timber needs to get fit and even get some minutes in too. If he’s out too then Calafiori needs wrapping up in cotton wool because we can lose him as well.

@JamesWarnerAFC Some mixed signals here. He saying he'll rest v both to make it fair or saying he don't give a fook & he'll do what's best?

“Everybody gets what they deserve”

Has to be a penalty. Surely.

Shut up @Carra23

@BroadcastMoose Incorrect. Actually Soucek on Havertz If you wanna play that game MOOSE..

This clearly shows the first foul is Trossard on Pablo, pushing him into Raya.

@DiscoMirror You wally. Ffs

The fact that Arteta and his staff were claiming handball straight away and not for a foul shows they didn’t think it was a foul on Raya. That says it all. Nowhere near clear and obvious.

@talkSPORT Need proof fat Gabby. Where is your proof. All teams grapple, where's the proof Arsenal done that to GK before and got away with it. Come on @talkSPORT let's set this straight. Your pundit needs to back this up......

🤦‍♂️ Gabby: "Strange decision... Arsenal have scored so many goals from exactly that!" 😤 Jeff: "It's a foul, but Trossard has both arms around Pablo! Rice has both arms around Mavropanos!" Stelling and Agbonlahor react to #WHUFC v #AFC VAR controversy! 😳

@SamiMokbel_BBC Really. Wow.

West Ham set to request VAR audio following their disallowed goal against Arsenal yesterday. London Stadium club likely to contact PGMO for explanation as to why Callum Wilson’s goal was ruled out. bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

@Sam_Lloyd14 Oliver Brown let's study it your moron. Agenda agenda agenda.

They're completely different and you're thick or disingenuous to suggest otherwise.

@laythy29 Holding hands ha ha

Not ‘clear and obvious’ according to Shay Given

@OllieHolt22 @GoonerGirl1969 Ultimately it's a foul. Nothing else really matters.

It was a foul on David Raya. VAR made the correct decision. VAR is a terrible way to decide a game of this magnitude for both teams. All these things can be true at the same time.

@RealTalkMCFC @FootballCity711 Agree to an extent. Footie way better in 90s & early 00s. However Var was correct today. Foul all day every day.

@FootballCity711 It’s dying because of VAR, the minutes spent on VAR, VAR getting it wrong, your club relying fully on set pieces and using dirty tactics to score on them

A few years back, Premier League got to watch two brilliant attacking-minded football teams (City & Liverpool) consistently battle it out season after season. Premier League was determined by quality, not luck & controversies. Premier League peaked back then. It’s now dying.

@DannyAarons @clockendsniper Yh mate let's laugh after we won 1-0 let's all laugh now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

LETS ALL LAUGH AT ARSENAL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They're all forgetting the Pablo handball too. #afc

@LGravv Surprised & disappointed by this. No GK union. It's a clear foul by 2 players.

Just complete nonsense

@Chelsearory I'm an idiot then but I don't fooking care Rory. Oi oi Rory

Basically there are two types of people in the world. Normal, educated, insightful people on one side and then idiot people who think the goal that West Ham scored was rightly ruled out…

@Arse_n_Nose He's done fine. Next year he'd arguably be better.

Honestly think he'll be gone this summer, back to La liga with homesickness as the excuse.

@BroadcastMoose 100% a foul, 2 fouls...

VAR - dont start me off on it - the Sport of Football will rue the day it was bought in - not clear or obvious error. Deciding a title and relegation today - thoughts?
