@betangel Remember that word "metatarsal"? Cast your mind back to 2002 World Cup David Beckham sustained a fracture to his foot 2 months before the finals. Much angst and treatment resulted in an amazing recovery but it was touch and go. Let's hope Mr Kane doesn't sustain the same!

It's good to have an in-form striker ahead of a World Cup.

@CJHall83 @ChapmanJ92 Got nothing against the lad but I think he's stagnated at the club. I'd rather him leave and find some new strikers. Its a good chance to reboot and we need new blood.

Some really interesting discussions between myself and @ChapmanJ92 on these. Largely we are on the same page although we had a lively debate around Josh Maja. Would you like to see Maja sign a new deal? #wba

@betangel @sportingintel You might be a disappointed Peter!

@sportingintel If Saints get a harsh punishment but nothing happens with Man City, I'm done with football.

Spygate: ever more mortifying by the day, and as a Saints fan I'll accept without question whatever sanction the independent panel hand down. We broke the rules. But is there ANYONE in the world (aside from Man City fans) who think it's long overdue that we have a 115 verdict?

@_ChrisLepkowski Agree Chris. He's the consummate pro. I personally think he's been an asset. Shame others haven't.

Jed Wallace should leave #wba with the best wishes of all. A proper solid citizen (to quoteth a former manager), often when the club most needed one. A captain.

@CJHall83 I can't believe the amount of abuse he's received. I agree with you 💯

He always conducted himself with the utmost class and respect. That’s reflected in his last act as our skipper, this statement. Thanks for everything Jed, we will always have the superman 🦸 😂 #wba

@WbaSteve @EyaWeGew Well a lot of fans made it it very clear what they thought of him when things weren't going so well. I'm not sure he'll want to stay.

@EyaWeGew Can’t see Maja staying

Farewell Dike and thank you. I was told before the season even started the club simply couldn’t risk keeping Dike on any longer with how his time here has gone injury wise. I genuinely wish him nothing but the best and really hope he can finally stay fit because there’s clearly still a player in there. Grant and Maja are seeing what else is available. On Imray we’re still in the race for him, but there’s serious competition for him. Wolves, Burnley and one German club are all very keen as things stand. #WBA

@jedwallace12 Jed. Really sorry to see you leave. You've been a great servant to the club. Thanks for all your effort over the years. You've always conducted yourself so professionally on and off the field. Just don't come back and score against us ok? 😉

Thank you all 💙

@EFL_Comms West Brom voted for this proposal. They were hardly going to stick with old rules that shafted them whatever they did.

@MartinSLewis I only ever see shopping as a necessity. I understand many people like going shopping as a social thing. Good luck to them if that's what they want to do. If I NEED clothes I'll go and buy them, otherwise shopping is utterly boring and involves mixing with people. NO!

Today's Poll: Do you see shopping (other than for groceries) primarily as a leisure activity?

@EFL_Comms Good job EFL don't run VAR otherwise their decisions would take so long matches would end at midnight.

@AlbionAnalysis @CJHall83 Yes. As it stands there is zero incentive for a new owner to take over in financial distress. They could see their acquired club get relegated (or possibly not promoted) and their investment will dive, why would anyone bother. Clubs will crash and burn.

💬 “We need some common sense..you’ve got to start punishing the right people & stop punishing good owners for reducing losses & doing the right thing!” 😡 @CJHall83 has strong words for The EFL after they published the written reasons for Albion’s points deduction. #wba

@CJHall83 @EFL You don't want to suggest it but I'll say it for you, they are incapable.

I don’t want to suggest that @EFL are incapable of doing anything right but even the link to the full written reasons (which it took them weeks to send us) doesn’t exist and the ‘click here’ text has no link attached 🤦‍♂️ The league’s governing body ladies and gents!😂 #wba

@henrywinter I reckon the EFL had hoped that Boro would win and this would all go away but now they have to make their minds up about Soton punishment. EFL aren't very good when it comes to consistent punishment 🤔

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

@MartinSLewis How can this possibly be allowed to happen? It sounds a cruel sentence to people who just appear to have a lender at the wrong time and didn't do anything wrong. It looks ruiness for them. Utterly tragic.

@BBCSport As a non partisan Southampton deserved to win. However Boro were the architects of their own downfall. They started brilliantly scored a goal and looked good for a second. Thereafter the intensity was all with Soton and Boro really never picked it up until they conceded the 2nd

Southampton are off to Wembley again! They will face Hull in the Championship play-off final after Shea Charles' extra-time winner against Middlesbrough 🏆

@CuriosityonX I suppose you could attend your own funeral before you left?

Would you leave Earth forever to explore deep space if given the chance?

@Fabriziostinko 10 years ago, I'd say "yes please".

West Bromwich Albion are linked with Ben Brereton Díaz 🌗 #wba

@CuriosityonX Take me to your leader. "Oh no we're all dead".

If aliens visit Earth, what’s the first thing they’d say?

@WbaSteve @EyaWeGew Gilchrist even better!

@sibur_67 @EyaWeGew I think Mepham would be a better signing 😛

Celtic interest in Campbell doesn’t surprise me, he’s been absolutely top class. No bids as it stands though, and from our end he’s not for sale. We want to build around him, it would take silly money to change that. #WBA
