@saintsfcreport @Boropolis What was that mate? Can't hear you from Wembley.

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@Boro How's Alex Bangura got himself on the cover

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@N0RTHERNSAINT @ourreggie529 @EFL_Comms Same here mate. Point?

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@ourreggie529 @N0RTHERNSAINT @EFL_Comms He can't read

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@TheStatsSaint Eckert admitting he did it to work out whether Hackney is fit or not... Insane to admit that. That's sporting advantage, clear as day.

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@Gazarelda @Arranhxtch @secondtierpod Mate, we're shite and have no fit players. You're going up, don't worry about it.

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@qprjohn11 @secondtierpod Hull have earned fuck all. Winning a semi-final does not equal promotion. Have to play another game to get that, always been the way.

[Georgie Bingham @georgiebingham]

Dear Southampton. It’s not “manifestly unfair”

It’s an absolute necessity that you don’t have a shot at the Premier League if there’s even a tiny chance you got there unfairly - which is your bad because you were arguably, easily good enough to get there without spying.

Now go apologise to your fans.

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@archiebunkerUK @H68Dave @PompeyBlues93 @stephenpollard @JacquiOatley @SouthamptonFC Just admit you're wrong.

Can't lose something you never had.

Not being able to compete for it is justified, when the other 23 teams who tried to compete for it didn't try and gain an illicit advantage.

[Stephen Pollard @stephenpollard]

I've got no skin in this other than - and this matters to me! - as a football fan.
It seems to me that, far from being harshly treated, @SouthamptonFC have got off lightly. The evidence they admitted to shows a concerted, planned and repeated operation to spy on opponents. And that's just the three they've fessed up to. It's surely a lot more.
Frankly being removed from the play-offs and a 4 point deduction seems lenient.

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@ConnorArmstrong @djg23 The players have had two training sessions since last Tuesday. Hardly prepared.

Show me the difference? There is zero precedent for just promoting the remaining team.

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@SoggyBonito @slbsn The logic is he's a Southampton fan

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@shanehagan24 @Barbsmfc86 @slbsn Southampton were already charged by the EFL before the first game. The hearing was already gonna happen. But rewrite history, go on.

Maybe don't cheat?

How is it any different to this? Had there even been an instance of a team being automatically promoted rather than the losing team being reinstated?

There is literally no precedent for just promoting the other team. The losing team gets reinstated.

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@SouthamptonFC @Boropolis 24 teams had an opportunity to fight for the prize. Only one team cheated to gain an advantage.

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@SouthamptonFC @Boropolis The £200mil isn't a fine. It wasn't yours. You weren't guaranteed it. The reason you can't fight for it is all your own doing. Sit down and shut up.

[James Bunce @jamesdelve]

@SaintsExtra @MailSport Maybe they should have just put away their chances in the first half of the season 🤷🏻‍♂️
