@L1minus10 Is it true Gibson is going to sue as Hull’s shirts were too bright for a sunny day? 🤣

McBurnieeeeeeeeeeee

@AlfieHouseEcho Then they weren’t cheated. Not only that they let it take place for the photo op to give them the fallback option if they lost. Devious but clever.

@AlfieHouseEcho Be interesting to know though if it is true Boro were informed someone was going to “spy” on them.

Member of independent commission that booted Saints out of Championship play-off final has denied accusations of bias. David Winnie, former footballer turned lawyer, spoke out after growing social media chatter. No objection to panel was made. #SaintsFC dailyecho.co.uk/sport/26132358…

@AlfieHouseEcho Ok. Didn’t think I’d find anything nobody else had 🤦‍♂️🤣

@AlfieHouseEcho If you can believe ChatGPT🤣

@Tigs76 Can't find any Lydia Banerjee links to Boro, but can take it further if you can

@AlfieHouseEcho Didn’t she represent Boro in past cases or is that just a rumour? Also is it true that Boro were informed they were going to be spied on ?

@FarrightRobb @slbsn Spot on. IMO it goes deeper. Were, as reported, MFC made aware SFC were going to spy on them ? Why not stop him ? Was it a set up ? Our own fault, yes. But have MFC acted against the spirit of the game knowing they had a man on the inside ?

@slbsn I'm looking forward to the same level of media onslaught & outraged witchhunt for the next club caught out,,, Was it a conflict of interest for Middlesbrough man bausor to be on the EFL board during this period ?

Even more lovely comments than usual on this. But nobody is going to convince me that this punishment fits the “crime” especially in a sport riddled with “cheating” in every game Simon Jordan & Stefan Borson EXAMINE Southampton LOSING Spygate Appeal a... youtu.be/ZpXMk0nkmic?si…

@SirGowen @AdamBlackmore Exactly. Did they think they would get a lighter sentence? The CEO on the EFL board had other ideas I think.

@Tigs76 @AdamBlackmore That was our fault for admitting everything without due process

The FA has confirmed it will start an investigation into Southampton and spy gate #SaintsFc This is where actions against individuals come into play, rather than the club actions that the EFL charged Saints with

@AlexComber_ someone please examine the Boro link. If they knew, as reported, WS was coming to spy then that pic is a set up. Pressure from EFL on panel for expulsion, as SJ said on Talksport, with Boro CEO on EFL board=corrupition. Promote Hull.

@AlfieHouseEcho Miovski £2.7m. Be interesting to see how he performs after we were linked with him.

Day off today. Wonder what I’ll do.

@AdamBlackmore Any idea why Potter’s not been mentioned as a possibility? He’s out of contract. Wages too high ? Thinks of himself as a top 6 manager ? Not willing to manage in Champ again? Surely it’s worth a try ?

Nice to be back in the office today ….have I missed much with #SaintsFc ?!? 🤣 Interesting reading supporters thoughts on a new manager … For me, the club needs to plan for relegation & the appointment needs to reflect that For me Danny Rohl & Carlos Corberan fit the bill, but I’d have Rohl as first choice of those two, given playing style, what he’s done at SW and he knows the club a bit But both have proved to be good Championship managers

@AlfieHouseEcho Weak teams that struggle to stay in the Prem usually survive with a regular side that know each other’s roles. This constant tinkering with the line up is another reason IMO why we’re struggling.

Looks like four at the back with Wood losing his place. Four defenders you'd expect otherwise. Kamaldeen in from the start is a big surprise but against that Spurs high line, I can see the logic. Armstrong probably fortunate to start ahead of Archer. Your thoughts? #SaintsFC

@AdamBlackmore @solentsport IMHO the question has to be asked how was Arma that far offside in that attack. Its basics for a forward in any division. Chances are he would have missed the chance but that’s another question 🤣🤦‍♂️

For me, that’s #SaintsFc best performance of the season by far over 90 mins Battled, created, mixed their game up and transitioned the ball forward to good effect Robbed by another bad VAR - Armstrong didn’t touch it, not interfering imho - reaction to come @solentsport

@saints_analysis The view from behind the goal is telling. The gap between Verbruggen & Armstrong shows there’s no way he’s impacting him.

Given for “impacting Verbruggen’s ability to play the ball”. Here’s where they would benefit from the involvement of former pros maybe. It’s a cross fizzed across the box at pace, so the goalkeeper is very unlikely to get to the ball at any stage #SaintsFC

@AlfieHouseEcho Some decisions are hard to take but some are just plain wrong. I hate this league.

Goal ruled out. Archer was onside from the initial cross so it's Armstrong interfering. Not sure about that. #SaintsFC

@AlfieHouseEcho This has two seasons ago written all over it. Just not good enough in any department 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

HT: Brighton 1-0 Saints The hosts lead but a bit more quality in the key moments and they would have more than one. Archer chance was a warning for them that it's not over but Saints clearly second-best here. What do you reckon? #SaintsFC

@AlfieHouseEcho Never could make out the ridicule he gets. A fair bit from the TSP it has to be said. At 6”7” he is going to be a danger and if he can play even a little bit he could be very dangerous.

Paul Onuachu can play with his feet. He's going to be involved this season for sure. #SaintsFC
