    Why on Earth is he admitting to that!? Surely it’s better to keep quiet at this point?

    So funny

    I don't want to upset anyone, but I don't think its a big deal.
    Just, doing covert homework to me. Sensible. But don't get spotted.
    Mark Hughes should have taken pliers and a blow torch if he wanted to keep his job! <laugh>

    I’m with you mate, I dont think it’s a big deal either and I would assume most clubs do similar.

    Just the fact that he called a special press conference to announce he’s been doing it all season.. fantastic stuff. Hope they get promoted so we can get more of this nutter in the PL

    That's ****ing brilliant <laugh>

    Big fallout over him getting caught spying so rumours of him resigning after he calls a presser, for him to rock up with a powerpoint presentation explaining how they've done it for every game <rofl>

    What a man, hope they come up even more now.

    The whole thing is that it isn’t even against the rules. It might be a bit unsportsmanlike but as Ralph said last week, it’s only really in this country that training sessions are supposedly secret.

    I wonder if it's a bit like diving. Some people think this is one of the most unsporting things you can do and should never be tolerated, other people treat it as all part of the game. Great for Bielsa's reputation though, no fans can resist a bit of us v the world.

    Don't like it. May not be illegal, but most people know it is wrong and, despite coming from another culture, I don't believe he can claim that he had no idea it would be frowned upon in this country (not that he is even claiming that). Upskirting is being made illegal, but the vast majority of men would regard it as reprehensible anyway...they didn't need to see it on the statute book first.

    Don't like the man.

    I think it happens in football. I don't think anyone upskirts who is isn't a pervert criminal.
    Please don't blur the lines.

    Why are people so touchy....I was giving an example to show that some things are obviously wrong without being against the law....was not suggesting they are equivalent. I shall now do what I think is sensible...answer once and never mention again.

    I too see not much wrong with this and a bigger deal that necessary is being made. Why not do as much research on the opposition as possible.

    In fact a couple of weeks before saints played away at Chelsea, saints asked me to check out Chelsea.

    I couldn't make it to their training ground, so spied using a drone instead. Unfortunately, I got my directions wrong and it ended up off course. I never did see it again and lost it somewhere near Gatwick airport.

    That’s almost as far as Shane Long traps it. :bandit:

    Sorry Shane. Love your work ethic, but your control still needs some work.

    Monaco is still somehow lurching toward relegation, which would be one of the biggest stories in European football for quite some time. Most of their best have been sold off over the past two seasons, but still...it's absolutely mental that a team with that talent is lurching around in 19th in a pretty mediocre league.

    Watching Celta, Sisto's an absolute mess. Their fans are theorizing that something is amiss off the pitch, because (one good worked shot aside) he's a shadow of what he was. His first start in months, so confidence is presumably bottom of the barrel, but he's Elyounoussian at the moment.

    Someone mentioned Sunderland, aren't they still getting parachute payments? It will be such a failure if they don't go up.
