Yes, my only issue with Blackmore is that he fully bought in to the EFL report and was particulalry forceful in his opinions. I cannot believe for a minute that Tonda isn't aware of his views at the time. When the FA report came out and corrected a ton of mis-information then yes, Blackmore should have looked up and admitted he was wrong and totally bought the EFL narrative over the clubs view. As has been stated before he's had a bit of a nightmare over Spygate. His audience is Southampton related, he can have his opinions of course but in his position maybe you should just balance that out somewhat publicly if not privately.

Poor Russell, seems he's struck really unlucky in that players at every club he's managed have made exactly the same mistakes over and over again 🙄 The penny just does not drop with this twat does it ?

Wenger has too much time on his hands and/or tries to be too bloody clever for his own good.

If he carries on in this form it will be interesting to see if Tonda gives Ehibhatomhan a chance off the bench. It would be ironic if he turns out to be more of a threat than Mubama but I would like to see the team play to his strengths rather than think he’s Larin Mk 2

Likewise, totally forgot about him with this long international break. He'll be heading back to Forest in January at this rate.

I dont mind Tessem's observations AFTER the match when he can think about it and give a considered opinion but his in game commentary is absolutely bloody awful.

In other words "bugger, I've made the wrong move"

I dont dislike him, as has been stated I think his reluctance to defend the club, or at least try to present their side over Spygate put me off him a bit. I just hope he lets it go now and concentrates on the football.

Interesting to hear Tonda admit on Solent after that he relied a lot more on emotions today over tactics.

Maybe not then 🤣

They should win today, Peterbro are crap.......

Andrew is a bigger Saints fan than his sister. There was a clip of him being interviewd the other day and he was wearing a Saints rain jacket. I think he goes to St. Mary's when racing commitments allow.

no, just no. He doesn't need reminding of it and it would be nice if we could be a bit more classy and rise above the shite.

Mark McAdam was absolutely brilliant there on Sky Sports News. No sensational bullshit, just facts. Great journalism

MB still around ?

True, my mistake 😆

IF they hadn't have been given a place in the final and IF we hadn't been kicked out I could kind of understand their position BUT they were, we were, and they blew it yet still they go on and on and on and on about it!!! I really cannot fathom why they cant see they got everything they wanted out of the EFL but still aren't happy. Weird. Let it go FFS

Is this the announcement of what the club knew back at the beginning of August or a different one?

That’s the thing I don’t understand. Is it our fault they screwed up a second chance? Their mentality over all this is extremely weird. Sure laugh at us for getting caught and being kicked out but to then kind of make out they’ve been wronged is crazy.

well I guess so but the process as far as they are concerned should be when they make their decision. An appeal is the start of a second process. You may be correct but bloody hell that makes it sound like a dictatorship - "ooh if you appeal our decision dont tell anyone" 😂

I dont see any way in which if it has got to this stage Southampton FC havent issued a statement saying they are appealling the FA's decision.

and very deliberately not revealing how long said ban is for as well 🤷‍♂️

Thats correct, they appealed in January and it took until the summer to get the decision. We could well go down that route if required.

£500 and they have to buy the cakes for every Prem League meeting for a whole year

Indeed, difference would be they wouldnt be given about 25 minutes to get an appeal together!
