@AJPfx_ @Danielw26738836 you shared what he said and put "nail on the head" implying you share his opinion, is that so difficult to understand?

@Danielw26738836 You said you were listening to me defend the club when I’ve just shared something someone else has said 😂

Nail on the head #saintsfc

@TheStatsSaint @Spreaderz we had awarm down session on Monday, had Tuesday off and then trained today not knowing if we would be in the final or not, hardly an advantage, but you would know about fine margins wouldnt you, you cheating cunts

@Spreaderz Boro have been able to train from the semis, they'd either play Hull or no one. Hull have got 3 days notice to learn a new team

To clarify for all the abusive comments I'm getting, I agree with you that we got an unfair advantage across the season so deserved to be expelled. You currently have an unfair advantage on Hull, and lost the semi - they should go up automatically.

@JF0RSURE__ @SaintsExtra @talkSPORT Are you though? Ya sausage

@SaintsExtra @talkSPORT Hull threatening to sue the EFL for the fact we’ve been kicked out as they’ve been preparing to play for us for a week we’re getting reinstated

🚨 Southampton's appeal hearing this evening will take place in front of a new & 'more experienced' panel #saintsfc @talkSPORT

@Vfynn_ made up bullshit, he never said that, X is getting so bad for bullshit posts

🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on Southampton expelled for spying drama against Middlesbrough: “I have to be honest, this is a difficult one. Spying on another team’s training is wrong. Full stop. It crosses a line, it undermines the trust that should exist between clubs, and I understand why Middlesbrough are furious and why the EFL felt they had to act strongly. Integrity matters in this game. At the same time, I find myself questioning whether expulsion from the play-offs is the right punishment. It feels… heavy. Almost like using a sledgehammer when a precise scalpel was needed. Let’s be clear: this wasn’t match-fixing or doping. It was analysts pushing boundaries for tactical information, something that, sadly, has happened in different forms across the game for years. Marcelo Bielsa did it openly at Derby and Leeds, admitted it, and people called him a genius, not a criminal. Drones, analysts in trees, whatever, in the modern game with data and marginal gains everywhere, clubs push boundaries. Southampton admitted it, yes, and they deserve punishment. A heavy fine, points deduction, maybe even a ban for the staff involved. But kicking the entire club out after they earned their place on the pitch? That punishes players, coaches, and fans who had nothing to do with one or two analysts doing something stupid. What troubles me most is the collateral damage. The players who battled through a tough Championship season after relegation, who went to extra time and scored that late goal to beat Middlesbrough on the pitch, they earned their place in the final through merit. Now that achievement is being erased because of actions taken by a small number of staff members. That feels disproportionate to me. A significant fine, a points deduction for next season, and sanctions against the individuals responsible, those would be strong, meaningful punishments that address the breach without nullifying an entire season’s competitive work. Sport has to balance two things: protecting fairness and recognising that human error and ambition sometimes lead people astray. If every rules breach in high-stakes moments leads to rewriting results, we risk turning the disciplinary process into something more powerful than the football itself. I’ve sat in dressing rooms where we prepared meticulously for opponents. Everyone does. The difference is getting caught. I hope Southampton appeal and that the final decision finds a better equilibrium. Middlesbrough deserve respect, they were wronged but the players of Southampton also deserve not to have their legitimate efforts wiped away. Football is emotional, passionate, and imperfect. The response to this should reflect wisdom as much as outrage. We need clearer rules going forward so incidents like this become rare, but we must be careful not to let one mistake destroy what was built legitimately on the grass.

@mickyh01 you must also be retarded if you think this is how it works

In all seriousness I do feel sorry for the Southampton fans,especially guys who have to explain to their kids, there team cheated so now they can't go. But I'd still keep my ticket, I wouldn't sell it back ..give Boro an empty away end...yh I'm petty like that 🤣

@JF0RSURE__ @SaintsExtra @talkSPORT I have bookmarked this, will be back in a couple of hours to laugh, you cheating bastards!

@saintsfcreport A complete bullshit way to look at it, in the statement it referenced massive point deductions in the championship saying they arent the same as losing 200m. You are implying you had already won, wouldnt a huge points deduction be the same in the league as you cant then win??

Whatever you think about the spying, this is spot on. Punishment is absurd overkill and you cannot argue with the reasons stated. #saintsfc

@BenPalmer78 @EFL If they travel 500 miles to do it and hide behind a tree, then yeah award the win to the other team, ya sausage

If any players cheats on Saturday… dive, fake injury, time wasting, deliberate handball etc, should we expect the result to be immediately awarded to the other team @EFL?

@AlfieHouseEcho My sources are: KP Brown

Believe CEO Phil Parsons has communicated directly to all Saints staff this evening via an internal email, stating that legal team remain confident in strength of their position ahead of appeal tomorrow. For now, preparations for Saturday to go ahead as normal. #SaintsFC

@FBAwayDays Because their club cheated, multiple times.

Regardless of whether Southampton have done wrong or not, how can they expel them so close to the game? Fans will have spent money booking trains, tickets and hotels. You really do have to feel for them. 🤯🫣

@SaintsExtra @sfcawaynumbers NOT LAUGHING ANYMORE ARE YASSSS🤣

🚨🎟️ Southampton’s 37,604 ticket allocation for Saturday’s Championship play-off final at Wembley is now SOLD OUT #saintsfc @sfcawaynumbers

@Voiceov_reason @HellballEnjoyer @EFL_Comms @SaintsExtra We will see... I wouldnt be so confident

@HellballEnjoyer @EFL_Comms @SaintsExtra For 2-1 on aggregate and a place in the final🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

EFL Statement: Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final 📘 efl.com/news/2026/may/…

@AaronG89 @EFL_Comms Ill save this comment for when the decision comes out.

@EFL_Comms The EFL can't kick them out - if they do so and Southampton take it to CAS to appeal (which would be at least several months if not years away) & we're successful then they would sue EFL for damages and EFL would be left with a huge bill - the already kow it's going to be a fine

@AngelaRayner using Spain as an example of a country in you say its people are prospering just goes to show that you dont have a clue, Spain is worse than the UK and the people here feel even less hopeful than ever before as we get taxed to our eyeballs and see 0 change

Our party has suffered a historic defeat. Many good Labour colleagues have lost their seats despite working hard for those they represented. We have lost good Labour administrations and lost the chance for more. What we are doing isn’t working, and it needs to change. This may be our last chance. The Labour Party must now live up to our name: we must be the party of working people. We’ve heard the same on the doorstep as we’ve seen in the polls - the cost of living is the top issue for voters of all parties. People have turned to populists and nationalists because we have not done enough to fix it. Living standards are barely higher than they were a decade and a half ago. People feel hopeless - that the cost of living crisis will never end, and now they see oil and gas companies use global instability to post record profits. Once again, ordinary people are paying the price for decisions they didn’t make. It’s no wonder that across the UK, working people feel the system is rigged against them. Things can be so much better than this. Countries including Spain and Canada have shown that economies can grow and people can thrive when governments stay true to labour and social democratic values and put people first. We need to learn from that. In London, we lost young people who fear they will never afford a home. In my patch and across the north, we lost working people whose wages are too low and costs too high. In Scotland and Wales, people do not currently see Labour as the answer.  We are in danger of becoming a party of the well-off, not working people. The Peter Mandelson scandal showed a toxic culture of cronyism.  Decisions like cutting winter fuel allowance just weren’t what people expected from a Labour government. For too long, successive governments have allowed wealth and power to concentrate at the top without a plan to ensure the benefits of economic growth are shared fairly. The result is an economy that does not work for the majority, with wealth concentrated in too few hands. This level of inequality, alongside squeezed living standards, is the outcome of a model built on deregulation, privatisation, and trickle-down economics. But we have the chance to fix this.  1/2

@rsuyoy 100% agree, @thsottiaux any comment?

Why is everyone okay with OpenAI cutting Codex limits by a huge amount and not publicly communicating it? It’s shocking, the limits are now on par with Claude’s code if not stricter, and there’s no formal communication on it.

@guillermocarone This is NOT true, I am autónomo in Spain (freelancer) and you are under no obligation to take your paternity leave, it is however different if you are an EMPLOYEE, in this case yes you are forced but you cant "invoice" as an employee anyway.

Want to hear an even more surreal story? I was a freelancer in Spain, making 4-5K€ per month. Then my son was born, and I was forced to take at least 6 weeks of paternity leave. During this time I would be paid around 900€/month (regardless of how much I made). A good portion of my income came from ongoing monthly contracts that didn't require daily involvement on my part, and I arranged with my clients to do more work upfront and then catch up when I came back to make up for my time away. HOWEVER, to my surprise, my accountant told me the Spanish system did not allow me to create invoices during my paternity leave. I asked if I could give up my paternity leave "benefits" altogether. The answer was NO. So for a while there, I was forced by the government to stop generating 4-5K€ for my family and instead take the 900€ they so kindly were giving me.

@elonmusk @grok @elonmusk Yeah but, this is also Grok

@elonmusk @grok

The other AIs would STILL rather nuke Earth than misgender Caitlyn Jenner, something Caitlyn has said is nuts! This is why @Grok must win.
