Has the official Southampton statement been posted?
The terms arrogance and tone deaf spring to mind.
Club statement: 20th May 2026 | Southampton FC | News
A statement from Phil Parsons, Chief Executive, Southampton Football Club.www.southamptonfc.com
Everton's eventual six-point deduction in 2023/24 followed losses of £124.5 million, a figure dwarfed by what has been taken from Southampton in a single afternoon.
Wow.
Just wow.
It's almost like we don't exist.
We're the new Urban Spacemen.
This is the thing, whilst admitting they spied on 3 teams, I have seen no suggestion or confirmation that it was only 3 teams. It appears to me they have cherry picked 2 to admit too, in addition to the one they were reported for. If this is the case, why have they not stated clearly that they have not spied on any other teams? Surely that would be stated in any mitigation?
Surely a new record number of tickets sold for a Wembley final. Good quiz question.
Ticket sales look to have hit the buffers a bit. There are still quite a few blocks to open towards the half way line if there is an increase in demand.
Maybe once the date and kick off time are confirmed we will shift a few more.

Ours seems to be a loyalty points scheme for members only, ie to distinguish between levels of members, not for other supporters. As I’ve said several times, loyalty points for non-members are pretty much worthless. It needs reforming or clarifying.

Not really. They’re excited. We’ve had the life sucked out of us by Southampton’s cheating. Just hope it’s not true of the players. But how the hell did they arrange to have a day off today? That seems slightly brain dead.
Thinking about the actual match for a minute
while Southampton were the form team in the league, slightly concerning that Boro gave us our biggest hiding of the season at our place.
i do sort of prefer playing a team where its 1 win each though , i was uneasy thinking we had to beat a team for 3rd time in a row.
at same time would have taken a defeat to Southampton on chin, losing to Boro who probably shouldnt be there would be a bitter pill to swallow.

I think you've got to prepare yourself for an absolute onslaught from Boro to start with on Saturday - would favour three at the back and Belloumi on the bench to come on against hopefully tired legs.
understand the thinking but would be a big call to not start him the way he changed the game v Millwall
Isn't that exactly why you wouldn't start him?
maybe, but like i say its a brave call , doesnt always work out like it did , if we went 2-0 down at half time, people would say why didnt you start arguably your best player.
interesting to see how he goes.
In the history of the single-match EFL Championship play-off finals played at a neutral venue (since 1990), approximately 84% of the matches have been won by the team that scores first.
This represents one of the highest "first-goal win percentages" in professional football, significantly eclipsing the standard regular-season average (which typically hovers around 69%).
Didn't we go 5 at the back away at Boro? Came away with 3 points. Played our usual 3 or 4 at the back at home and got spanked.
Remember though if you don't start Belloumi you've got Joffy on the pitch instead. He's hardly a poor replacement.

Entitled ignorant ****.
