No he did not. We had a brilliant season after Eckert took over. It was one of the most entertaining for years. But, Hull did the double over us and proved they were the best team in the play-offs so even if we'd got to Wembley, they'd probably have won. Good luck to them. They deserve to be in the Premier League. If we'd had any other manager, we'd have got nowhere near the play-offs. The transformation under Eckert was incredible. I'm looking forward to another brilliant season under Tonda Eckert and promotion at the end of it.

Hull seem to play best against top teams. They were the only team in the play-offs last season who'd not lost a single game all season to any of the other play-off teams. They did the double over us and It's some consolation to know that even if the EFL hadn't replaced us with Middlesbrough in the final, we'd probably have lost to Hull at Wembley. Better for us to go up as Champions this season anyway.

What an embarrassing, clueless comment.

No surprise there. Bristol City got a bargain.

£10

It was Gareth Southgate's best mate, Andy Woodman. He's manager of Bromley and used to be a goalkeeping coach. He's from that 'old school' group of English managers, like Sam Allardyce, only much more unfit and obese.

West Ham charged £1 and a maximum £10 for adults for their game v Pompey. We'd have had a capacity crowd with those prices and the Club would have made a lot more money from sales of food , drink and merchandise sold in and around the ground Closing the Kingsland will also put off several thousand fans, who don't want to be behind the goal, from attending so that's going to lose the Club even more money. It is stupid and embarrassing.

We might just as well call him the Middlesbrough spy. The information he reported back to Middlesbrough was far more useful than anything Saints gathered.

I'm not sure who's more desperate for Tonda to be sacked: Boro fans, Pompey fans or Alex Law.

As they only broke FA Rules more than 70 times over 13 years, the club have had a six-point deduction, which was suspended until 30 June 2027, "set aside" on appeal.
