The EFL punishment was proportionate, they were never going to let us benefit from cheating. No amount of claiming that spying doesn't affect what happens on the pitch and whataboutery will change that.

I always feel with Tonda that he’s not going to leave us anytime soon. Many managers in the past would leave after a season or two like Hoddle and Poch did because the demand for them elsewhere was too much. I suppose Tonda will feel he owes us something plus many clubs wouldn’t touch him because of the spygate situation.

Myha'la - the winking did her in. Also I can't stand people who have this amazing sixth sense / gut feeling about traitors.

There has definitely been an explosion in diagnosis and waiting lists are crazy. I do wonder if a number have been made too quickly.

Said right from the first interview with Tonda that he was a very measured man. He doesn’t avoid the questions and will always answer to the best of his abilities. This press conference was always going to be a little more difficult (hence sky turning up) and he handled it superbly. It cannot be easy having every word analysed especially as it’s your second language. The players must love working with such an honest individual.

Agreed, but my worry now is that Tonda gets 'cancelled', a la Ed Sheeran, for taking a neutral stance on a political matter...

For me, the bottom line in all of this sorry saga is that the independent panel applied common sense and proportionality to the situation we put ourselves in and it is a great shame that the EFL didn’t do the same.

135 was the stat he quoted. It was a fan who stayed behind after their most recent defeat (1-2 vs Stevenage, with 73% possession. Classic performance). The guy called him over while they were getting on the bus afterwards. He recorded the conversation without RM knowing which isn’t great, but spoke to him respectfully and didn’t just shout abuse at him. Quoting that stat is also another subtle way of RM blaming the players. Basically saying ‘look, my system creates all these chances, it’s not my fault if these players aren’t good enough to take them’. Also, the ‘135 shots in 5 games’ isn’t a trustworthy stat. Some Leicester fans did the maths on it and a) they haven’t had 135 shots, and b) he’s counting the match his senior first team played against Fulham under-21s where they had 35 shots - using it to pad his numbers despite it being literally a case of men against boys. Not that any of that really matters because as you say, it’s an irrelevant statistic if the shots aren’t going in and you’re not winning the games.

Will the Portsmouth fans have a lot of more anger was just a stupid question Tondas reply was basically i dont give a fuck, without saying i dont give a fuck

Yep, that was really interesting. "Football gives you a chance to connect rather than divide". Nice. Tonda has always spoken impressively, but that that press conference was superb. What struck me is how much of a proper manager of the players he is, rather than just a coach. I suspect many managers would have avoided the Israel/Ireland issue like the plague before the players went, but he was all over it.

never beaten them in the league then 😭

"Eugene R Fidell, a visiting lecturer at Yale Law School, told the BBC it was a "really unfortunate decision". "To livestream an execution is just so out of the Middle Ages. In a way, we are so past that as a society, at least I thought so until today," he said." You don't hear much about the most recent dark ages, when the people of the middle ages lost their streaming. But the US is the most likely to have betting markets set up to see how many bullets hit, where they hit and who got the blank. All delivered by enthusiastic sports commentators, streamed to your device. The Trump administration: making all those parodies of the US a reality.

How do you become English ? What are the qualifications ? One set of my wife's grandparents was from Wales, the other from Scotland, but she and her parents were born in England. What is her nationality ?

The US joins Iran and Afghanistan in the public execution club. "Tell me your company, and I’ll tell you who you are"

What a strange woman.

Who was that lady asking questions? 😂

So proud of my step daughter Hannah 😍👍👊

Turkish got his shower scene but not sure he wanted Blunt. Great strategy from Richard E Grant. And racism strikes again

Was this a pundit or a fan that he is speaking to this way? If it is a fan, he needs to get his head checked.
