Is a day in the life of a barista at Costa Coffee 'dramatic'? ☕

I don't think any of them said a deal was close. They just said Saints were interested. Big difference between the two.

A precedent is a previous ruling by the same governing body that guides future decisions by that governing body. The FA isn't bound by, nor does it automatically follow, decisions made by FIFA, UEFA, or the Canadian association. It is not a precedent.

It being a different governing body makes it not a precedent. It would only be a precedent if the FA had given out a ban for the offence.

Which media outlet has said a deal is close?

Bournemouth?

EFL regulation 127.1 All nations attending the conference are only allocated one parking space?' Is that entirely relevant? I mean, here we are, in mortal danger and you're worried about the Chinese delegates bringing two cars!

Cyle Larin and Daniel Peretz

Yes, he was on over £100k when in PL. Possibly as high as £120k

I think it is more like an episode of Malcolm in the middle due to its farcical nature!

He is 24 and didn't have a great season last year Replacements don't need to be free transfers

That is his PL wage in 2024/25. It'll be circa 40% lower now. Which is still too high for the Championship.

On what is that based?

There has been no indication so far that Spors was in any way involved in the spying. Even if you say he should have known... how would he if they tried to keep it a secret?

They may view him as the best option to get the club promoted. Not like he'd be likely to spy again given what happened this season. Would they sack a player if he cheated in the playoff semi-final vs Middlesbrough by diving to win a penalty?

I might pretend to be Mrs Richards and complain I can't see the training pitch from my bedroom window.

I'm Sir Nicolas, and so's my wife.

You didn't get the reference like the others who emoji liked it then

Will there ever be a boy born who can swim faster than a shark?

He was released circa 43 years ago, so I doubt how much he'd care about it or the club now.

He was at Saints for 2 and a half years. Released aged 13. https://share.google/0LV66x6AQ6MQXyn1c

I don't recall there being a suggestion of Bielsa pressuring people below him, which is what we appear to have for Eckert.

None of that matters if he is banned by the FA. So 'will he be banned by the FA?' is the biggest question. I think the answer will be... yes.

Not true, he has not even been here for 1 year yet! He joined on 11th July 2025.
