What is the point of having a price cap if they keep on increasing it every few months?

[Lucy @LucyVHolland]

I am so over #spygate now. If anyone thinks watching training is anywhere near the levels of cheating and corruption that goes on inside the football business then you’re very naive. It’s pathetic it’s been given this much attention. #saintsfc

@TheSaintsNet just caught up on last nights episode. Really well said.

Shame under the circumstances, but happy to see you guys getting the numbers through the door.

Pray for us next season

Hope this was on a no win no fee basis

🚨 Southampton sources have confirmed that Lord Pannick KC has joined the club’s legal team for tonight’s appeal #saintsfc @TeleFootball

So Hull play Boro at 3:30pm and then in Royal Rumble style fashion, Southampton enter the pitch at 4:30pm and turns into a triple Threat match

🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on Southampton expelled for spying drama against Middlesbrough:

“I have to be honest, this is a difficult one. Spying on another team’s training is wrong. Full stop. It crosses a line, it undermines the trust that should exist between clubs, and I understand why Middlesbrough are furious and why the EFL felt they had to act strongly. Integrity matters in this game.

At the same time, I find myself questioning whether expulsion from the play-offs is the right punishment. It feels… heavy. Almost like using a sledgehammer when a precise scalpel was needed.

Let’s be clear: this wasn’t match-fixing or doping. It was analysts pushing boundaries for tactical information, something that, sadly, has happened in different forms across the game for years.

Marcelo Bielsa did it openly at Derby and Leeds, admitted it, and people called him a genius, not a criminal. Drones, analysts in trees, whatever, in the modern game with data and marginal gains everywhere, clubs push boundaries.

Southampton admitted it, yes, and they deserve punishment. A heavy fine, points deduction, maybe even a ban for the staff involved. But kicking the entire club out after they earned their place on the pitch? That punishes players, coaches, and fans who had nothing to do with one or two analysts doing something stupid.

What troubles me most is the collateral damage. The players who battled through a tough Championship season after relegation, who went to extra time and scored that late goal to beat Middlesbrough on the pitch, they earned their place in the final through merit.

Now that achievement is being erased because of actions taken by a small number of staff members. That feels disproportionate to me. A significant fine, a points deduction for next season, and sanctions against the individuals responsible, those would be strong, meaningful punishments that address the breach without nullifying an entire season’s competitive work.

Sport has to balance two things: protecting fairness and recognising that human error and ambition sometimes lead people astray. If every rules breach in high-stakes moments leads to rewriting results, we risk turning the disciplinary process into something more powerful than the football itself. I’ve sat in dressing rooms where we prepared meticulously for opponents. Everyone does. The difference is getting caught.

I hope Southampton appeal and that the final decision finds a better equilibrium. Middlesbrough deserve respect, they were wronged but the players of Southampton also deserve not to have their legitimate efforts wiped away. Football is emotional, passionate, and imperfect.

The response to this should reflect wisdom as much as outrage. We need clearer rules going forward so incidents like this become rare, but we must be careful not to let one mistake destroy what was built legitimately on the grass.

[Adam Azor @AdamAzor]

The #saintsfc punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Hopefully the appeal will be focused on this @MarkJLittlewood said it perfectly. “Its like being sentenced to death if you shoplifted”. It should have been a fine, ban for those involved & suspended points deduction at most. Madness

[Tandy @LFC_Tandy]

That Diogo Jota written like that at the end just breaks my heart

[Shaun Woodward @woodwardio79]

What an absolute farce. Feel terribly for the @SouthamptonFC fans. Chucked out of a 300m final for a guy behind a tree on his iPhone.

When the same thing happened to us we used it as fuel. Boro had 180 mins to beat them. The @EFL is a joke. 🐏 #dcfc #sfc

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

Team suspected of spying on training sessions - EFL conducts an investigation within a week and kicks the team out of a competition immediately

115 financial charges - PL will get back to you on that in a few years

Giving flexibility to the consumer, to pay for what they actually want and remove what they don’t, is better. Xbox is moving in the right direction here.

Do you remember in The Lion King when scar told the hyenas if they helped him become king he will make their lives better and then their lives didn’t get better and he blamed them for it.

And upon realizing this, the hyenas ate him.

Do with that story what you will.
