Is the outrage over Spygate understandable? An act of crass stupidity, I’ll grant you. But this is less Philby and Burgess and more Laurel and Hardy. Some hapless intern is sent to film from 400M on his smart phone the Middlesbrough team kicking footballs. What searing insights would the Southampton side have got? ‘Ok boss they’re kicking the ball with both their left and right feet. Sometimes they’re heading it.’ It’s all so silly. Southampton look like a right bunch of Charlies. But in the pantheon of great sporting scandals, this is pimple sized

The outrage about Spygate is understandable. If proven, it’s cheating. It’s seeking to gain a sporting advantage over an opponent. Let’s hope this ire is also now focused on other varieties of cheating in football, namely the amount of deceit that can stain games... 1/2

@RhysTheSaint It is literally one of your coaching staff with the same device most clubs use for data analysis - look it up. Oh you’re Southampton - you probably already have.

@TalkinTactics And for what purpose? To not show his other staff? To not mention it. Do they think people are mental?!

The ‘spying’ is one thing but to then throw a 27 year old intern under the bus really is quite something.
I very much doubt he thought of travelling all that way and doing it off his own back.

Southampton have asked for more time to conduct an internal review after they were charged with spying on Championship play-off rivals Middlesbrough.
The EFL has accused Saints of "observing, or attempting to observe, another club's training session within 72 hours of a scheduled match," which is a breach of its rules.

The whole of the EFL routing for Derby or Hull to get 6th spot tomorrow. Honestly don’t understand the hate towards us. A club who nearly died, ran to the ground, beats the odds and is potentially 4 games from the PL. How can you dislike that? #WxmAFC 🔴⚪️

So proud of my team yesterday, they gave it everything but came up just short, a big shoutout to the yellow and blue army who were absolutely brilliant in their support. @southamptonfc Very proud moment for me and my family for receiving my England legacy cap among some other football legends including Micky Channon, lastly a big shoutout to @samstailor for sending me some stand out suits including the one i wore today. 💛💙

During his interview with Piers Morgan, Russell Brand got increasingly defensive and didn't want to answer any questions.
Here are the final moments when he melted down:

Piers Morgan asks Russell Brand what bible passages he was looking at when he brought his bible into court. It went excactly how you'd expect from the "born again Christian"...
