Shit, have we got to the point now where we can't even hold onto our local journalists? Has he been tapped up by Tache Monthly?

Damn, the Closed Steelworks Dystopia Tour was always a hoot.

Agree. There are rules that cover diving to win free kicks/penalties. Both are blatant forms of cheating and both go on in every game. Too many pundits and journos on high horses when the most blatant forms of cheating go on right in front of their noses and they don't say a fucking word.

The rejected first draft of an Elvis Costello song ?

Is diving to get a penalty acting in good faith? Is pretending to be injured in order to get another player booked or sent off acting in good faith? Of course not but the worst you are likely to get is a yellow card, not a £200m sanction. Both actions are far more likely to effect the result of a game than spying too.

It isn’t exclusively Labour, the Tories were horrific for the country. But labours policies WILL exacerbate all of the issues. We need to lower taxes, prioritise growth, lower energy costs, increase the “givers” and decrease the “takers”. Labour are doing the exact opposite of what we need. Again - the bond markets are the most important signal. They cut through all the noise. And the bond markets are saying: we don’t trust that the UK is credit worthy anymore

Yep, agreed... Some people seem to conflate 'doing it surreptitiously' with 'knowingly breaking the rules'....

The penalty for breaking that one is peanuts though... #bielsa #200K

Would've been more noticeable dressed as the princess from Frozen I think?

Or it was good to hear a mix of views on TSP on the events.

The Teeside Squealers 0 v Southampton 1 nobody likes a grass

To be fair, even if it's not breaking the rules you would still not want the opposition to know that you spied so the cloak and dagger stuff does make sense. Agree that it's bullshit that he didn't know though. I expect he knew but assumed everyone did it so if we got caught it would just be a slap on the wrist.

No, it's not. It would still be a breach of rule 3.4 regarding acting in good faith to other teams.

My spy was just as effective as Will Salt it seems. Spygate was mentioned in a few of the speeches. Roy Keane shed a few tears when he saw his daughter in her wedding dress and during his speech. No inside info about any intentions to move or not. I’m expecting to face EFL sanctions for this?

If you're looking for any honest people in football you haven't been following the game closely enough because there aren't any.

Means P&O won't be offering the luxury cruises to Redcar this year then. That's a shame

Really poor taste as well to score points about a young lad’s murder, however much of a dick Starmer is. But Jamie be Jamie.

An excellent novel "The Worm Ouroboros"

Alfie House - very good Adam Blackmore - decent journo, good commentary Total Saints Podcast team - all excellent in their own way. It’s just four blokes asking questions and sharing opinions and it’s great fun to watch and listen to. Good humour and very informative. Martin Sanders (Football Martin) - also very good. The only “Saints fan channel” (if you like) that actually brings all fans into play with their comments and opinions. And if he’s making a living from doing it then good on him, I’d love to have done something like that myself. Only thing I’d say to him is just ignore the wind ups on the live chat, don’t acknowledge or mention them, they’ll get bored. I’ve done a couple of the Twitter spaces in recent times and they’ve been quite fun, engaged with the guys mentioned above at one point or another and they’re all very good in their own way. Opinions change and they can vary on whatever information comes to light to sway a persons mindset. The mindset of most fans has shifted in the last week or so. But none of the above have said or done anything wrong, or peddled some kind of narrative. It was humans and fans reacting in real time to the events that were happening.

A player worth looking at is Joel Veltman from Brighton. His contract ends this summer and he can play RB or CB. Loads of experience in the premier league and Dutch league.

Who have actually done better out of this than anybody, as they got a free pass to Wembley and the gate money . Ingrates.

Mention of Mourinho (not aware of anything to do with Schneiderlin, but remember the Dr), and Ferguson. You can add Clough to that list as well, some players now would be traumatised by him. Great story on Youtube how he gave one player the nickname 'shithouse', and saw him at the local park whilst he (Clough) was walking his dog. Player (might have been Crossley) said he just heard Clough from the other side of the park yelling " hey shithouse .., alright son ?'

The World Cup shitshow starts soon. This’ll be forgotten about next month. Well, by everyone apart from Middlesbrough fans. 😂
