Understand Sheffield United have won the race for Southampton attacker Ben Brereton Diaz. The Chile international is due for a medical at Bramall Lane today. Derby and Stoke were also in for Brereton Diaz. #sufc#twitterblades#saintsfc#dcfc#scfc
“Not a Boro fan” nor a Southampton fan, but fan of a team that’s been below us every season for over a decade and literally has nothing else to talk about
When you think Southampton couldn’t sink any lower; it seems a load of their fans have spent the last few hours claiming some sort of moral victory over Middlesbrough. Yet again proving they are the most arrogant, delusional fanbase in the land. No class, no humility, no way back
🚨 Head coach Tonda Eckert authorised spying, which led to Saints being kicked out of the Championship play-off final.
Operations were delegated to a junior member of staff, an intern, who told hearing that he felt pressured to carry them out.

🚨 Southampton consider today's Spygate sanctions to be 'wholly disproportionate' & are 'confident' that the decisions will be overturned following tomorrow's appeal #saintsfc@guardian
Taylor Harwood-Bellis celebrated like this in front of Middlesbrough players not long after making fun of Luke Ayling's speech impediment, Southampton have now been kicked out of the play off final 7 days later...
Karma is an incredible thing... 🤣
This isn’t just about the chance to go up either - it’s jobs, livelihoods, players leaving, huge reputational damage… the list goes on. Absolutely shocking and embarrassing #saintsfc
Punishment feels incredibly OTT from the EFL but what an incredibly fucking stupid thing it was for #saintsfc to do in the first place
Jeopardised the future & reputation of the club to try & gain an advantage. Dont know who is ultimately responsible - someone needs sacking

🚨 Middlesbrough have written their ‘belief’ over #SaintsFC spying on multiple clubs in a submission to the EFL.
However, said clubs don’t want to get involved, and it’s suggested that some are unaware of being spied on.

The @EFL confirm that the play-off final date could move, due to disciplinary proceedings that could yet see Southampton, rightfully, thrown out of the Championship play-off final.
Find it hard to be particularly angry about tonight. The performance wasn’t very good and there were some things you definitely could have done differently, but it’s not normal to expect to win eight or nine or 10 games in a row. You’ll always have off days, or you’ll get things wrong or opposition will find a way to stifle you. The precarious nature of the situation meant Saints perhaps couldn’t afford an off day, but it’s 20 games unbeaten and an incredible run to even be in this position. Showed plenty of fight to come from behind twice and we’ve seen enough of that over the last few weeks. Eventually it’ll catch up with you, the intensity of the schedule and the demands, and maybe it did tonight. It looks like it’ll probably be play-offs now but as long as they can respond to this they’ll have a serious chance of winning them. Would have snapped your hand off to be in this position a few months ago. Wembley next, can’t complain!

I spent a long time in football as chairman of Southampton. Proper fans, proper sport. I loved it. It brings people together in a special way. Not always positively towards the chairman, it must be said. But our sport is being increasingly used as a political tool to force this guff on people who just don’t want to hear it.
The fans.
Taking the knee, all this diversity bollocks being pushed at each and every turn. I hated it when I was chairman, and I certainly hate it now.
Take this Reform politician welcomed on stage by Farage this week who founded his club in the North East ‘as a BAME football club’, with the ‘specific aim of integrating the fragmented Indian community’. His words...
A club specifically founded for black, asian and ethnic minorities. A club for Indians.
Anti-white racism. Pure and simple. Why do we tolerate it? A Restore Britain Government would stop it.
Because it’s not just this Reform bloke, this filth is everywhere.
Jobs across the football pyramid banning white men from applying. It’s outright racism. But apparently when it’s white blokes on the receiving end nobody cares?
I wonder how many young white men have been overlooked for job opportunities in the industry because of the colour of their skin. In the clubs, and certainly in the media. Thousands and thousands and thousands.
It’s going to get worse and worse with this new Government regulator being forced on football. Trust me. It will not stop.
Nobody cares about all this nonsense. Fans want to go to the football, have a few pints, enjoy the game. Good. Let them.
Clubs need to start listening to them, because they’re the ones funding the whole operation.
And the fans don’t want any of it. None of the politics. Not at the stadium. Not on the TV.
There is now a party that represents those football fans who want to enjoy their sport without the incessant lectures, irritating political campaigning and outright anti-white racism.
Restore Britain.
Need to start cranking up the atmosphere starting from tomorrow night. Get rid of the brass band, get everyone at their seats well before kick off, get Mark Dennis on the microphone & get the Itchen, Kingsland & Chapel actually making some fucking noise for once #SaintsFC
6 home games left this season. It’s now or never for the Northam Wall. We had the excuse of the football being terrible since the switch. Yes the away fans are basically on Mars now, but ignore that. Just make it what it can be.
Kingsland, Chapel and Itchen too. #SaintsFC
