He'll be on quite a bit more than that

True story.

Will be interesting to see who makes the plane today although given it's only a couple of hours away maybe it won't prevent anyone from being sold. It may show our intentions though if we leave anyone behind (Ramsdale, bbd, Archer? Charles?)

From what I recall he said something along the lines of he was looking forward to getting back to Staplewood for pre-season training.

Maybe that is true and I don't think it's as far fetched as you do to suggest that he wasn't fully abreast of the rules on spying given that it's not against the rules abroad. Like you I said I suspect he probably did know but I can also see a scenario where he didn't.

Where have I said I haven’t accepted he did wrong? Of course you have never made a mistake or done anything wrong in your life. Its ordering a lad watch a team train its not robbery, mass murder, just not within 72 hours!. He will be punished but when do you stop shooting the dead dog?

I think you'd have to be incredibly naive to think he wasn't aware that he was breaking the rules. I do think he knew, but also probably thought it was just one of those things that happen and isn't that serious and would at worst result in a slap on the wrists - which I agree with him on.

If it is as common place as people are saying, then our best form of defence would be to whittle out other spies and make this a football wide issue. The amount of football staff that get removed and feel spurned would make this a relatively easy task, especially when monetising it. Why wouldn't we be seeing more coming forward knowing how much of a shit show this has been? Is it the danger of self persecution, or something more sinister? But seriously, if this is common place, lets drag it into the light using any means necessary.

Just reading a bit about Lankshear and his move to Boro. With so few English strikers coming through after Kane, England may be relying on him to come good. Big pressure for Boro!

Because he may have been aware that openly spying would not be welcomed by the opposing team but was aware that everyone does it on the sly and there was omerta around the practice. I think it's likely that he did know it was wrong but I can see a scenario where he wasn't aware that it was specifically against the rules.

Why would Tonda care if Ipswich knew we were there if it wasn’t breaking any rules. Numpty. If you genuinely don’t think what you’re doing is wrong why bother with a disguise, just let them in wearing normal clothes. It’s likely that anyone observing training that wasn’t meant to be there would have rightfully been challenged.

Because if he thought it was ok he’d have sent the Spy wearing full Southampton kit with a flashing hat saying “I’m a spy”?

I no longer care if he knew or he didn't. He didn't kill anyone and what he did/club did is nothing compared to what bigger clubs do and get away with it daily. Enough with the hypocrisy, forgive and forget and move on. For now he is our manager so lets give 100% our support to him and the team.

How do you feel when Scienza goes over easily outside the box?

No way is that true. Highly doubt Azaz is on anywhere near that either.

Abbott added to the group for today's match, Hope he plays. From the named 13, Organ and Petrie would be the obvious non starters.

Baker gets important wickets t'is true. I think LS were desperate for runs and had to try to hit him anyway. I looked at the scores LS looked to be always behind the RRR.

Seeing as the home shirt is predominantly red given the back, I suspect we'll wear that, possibly with the red alternate shorts that are on the online store.

Read somewhere else THB was on £500k per year. Something we need to sort if we want to keep him but opinion on here seems to suggest he will be off this summer.

Anyone that has looked at Angela Rayner in any form of lustful way has very low standards.

By admitting what he did?

Blimey, I've usually dry my shirts with a blowtorch as it's cheaper than the tumble dryer. I'll stop doing that immediately... 🙄🤣
