A real pleasure to speak to the brilliant Paula Blasi and her DS Cherie Pridham about her stunning wins at La Vuelta and Amstel Gold and her rapid rise from promising 800m runner to one of the world's best riders (thanks in part to her car breaking down)

Australian officials say they confiscated more than 100,000 illegal live cockroaches from a breeder in the country's largest-ever seizure of exotic invertebrates. https://t.co/FZmUn2vXpo
@stephensmith195@SimonPeach I can certainly see that calculation - and ultimately it's a private business decision, it's not like they are a public institution. Keeping him probably is their quickest route to getting promotion next season in fairness.
They're determined to have the last word aren't they. Talking about the competition's lost "credibility" is a bit rich given how the club have chucked away their own and still want to whine about their punishment.
One of the greatest up and downs you will EVER see ๐คฏ

@stephensmith195@SimonPeach Respectfully (non-Saints person, hello ๐โโ๏ธ), the impression I get is not blood-seeking but more surprise that no one has been fired for a deliberate decision that's cost them promotion and a lot of money. Accept it may appear different from your side however.
@IlliumOf81667 Maybe they don't think you were harshly treated? Just an idea to consider.
Re: Chelsea and City - their cases are 1. different to yours, both in nature and scale, and 2. being handled by a different organisation. When the verdicts come in, that's the time to do comparisons.
@IlliumOf81667 Do you really think "not a word" has been written about those charges? What a ridiculous comment. That subject has been done to death and as much as we can legally - we're now waiting for verdicts, the same as you. Then it'll be chapter and verse - need a verdict first though ๐
@IlliumOf81667 Not a peep about what? We've not given enough coverage? Think we've been pretty interested in Southampton's situation but cheers for the feedback.
@MartinBooth_@brucemillington I just completed the first round of fixture picks in the group stage (i.e. everyone's first game only) on a predictor app and took me about half an hour. So many weird games as well - chucked a few 4-0 and 6-0s in there
