Bournemouth are an excellent team, big game on Sunday.
They have so many very good players.

Said before but the first thing we have to do against Bournemouth is match their energy & movement if we do we have half a chance if we don't then it will be the usual result against them

Manager likely fired you’d think?

They are blaming it on him being young and inexperienced tbf

Eckert (Southampton Manager) wiki

"National Team Analyst: He got his big break as a 19-year-old when he was hired as an analyst for the German national team during Euro 2012. He continued this role and helped prepare dossiers for the Germany squad that won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil."

Hes probably done it himself in the past

I hope Hull win now. Joke of a decision .

Arsenal are hoping to sign Fernandes on a cut price deal from the hammers .

 

[Pope John XXIII]

Sure West Ham will be very happy to see Chelsea playing half a reserve side against Spurs tonight

"To say I am utterly furious is an understatement. What the feck were Saints thinking! All the goodwill we had and what turned out to be an outstanding season after a shit beginning has been thrown away.
Stupid stupid bastards."

33 years old

Might have even been legal or part of the job to do it back then. Its also conceivable he didnt realise how badly it would be treated over here

None of it any kind of defence though

Am i the only one that thinks spying on someone training the value of doing so seems so marginal it's a waste of diesel getting there in the first place ? I'd give them an open day

Said it the other day. If the spy had got them practising their penalties it would have been huge. Golden.

And I guarantee he wouldnt have turned his camera off.

That was almost certainly Plan A

And the intention to cheat is the crime here. Not how anything impacted the game.

Some people on X actually think we should give him a chance - utter lunacy

Depends if he is aware how badly he's fooked it and wants to change. Young people do stupid stuff (as do old people).

Unless we go after him in the summer…

They've also been charged with spying on Ipswich and Oxford training sessions, so Boro wasn't just a one-off.

Not sure they will have any grounds for appeal now a pattern of cheating has been established.

Wot a pity the PL cant act with the same kind of speed and decisiveness. Efl has taken 10mins to sort out cheating instead of 10 years and counting.

Great goal Enzo Fernandez again

10 goals this season

If youve got £100M to spend - Anderson or Fernandez?
