| Well we appear to be.... 08:44 - May 13 with 3843 views | SonicBoom | The most hated club in the country. Already today I've seen comments from all other fans including pompey obviously, but also Millwall, Coventry etc. And even journos like Henry Winter. We're getting dragged for everything from spying, to the ball boy to the goal music. Fair enough it's to be expected but it certainly feels like the entire country will be hoping Hull beat us. In our defence Hull are under a transfer embargo for failure to pay debts but no one seems to mention that. Also THB is getting slated for saying hurty words to Ayling (who was lucky to be on the pitch). But of course no mention of their player who was right in front of the camera gesturing into the crowd and calling someone a fat ***t. Apparently that's fine and doesn't need to be reported. Also lots of hand wringing over the beer bottles chucked at their bus. OK that was out of order but I remember it happening loads of times. Liverpool have done it, West Ham virtually destroyed the Man U coach but suddenly we are the worst club in the country. I'#m pretty sure the boro fans pelted our coach on Saturday didn't they? |  | | |  |

100% I've always hated being everyone's second favourite club. Fúck em all. |  |

| Well we appear to be.... on 09:37 - May 13 with 3234 views | DorsetIan | The Club need to get their PR working re Bellis. If, as he said he would, Ref makes a report of the incident, and it was about stammering, then I'd say a ban would be likely. Need to get a public apology out there sharpish to try to mitigage it. |  |

| Well we appear to be.... on 09:53 - May 13 with 3176 views | solent_toffee | You deserve a points deduction next season for those clowns in the fancy dress/camouflage gear. I mean come on who leaves the house dressed like that, nothing worse than grown men going full on banter merchants. That’s far worse than anything the club have allegedly done. As an aside, there’s no way that Saints should be thrown out of the play offs, I don’t see how it can legally happen. |  | |  |
| Well we appear to be.... on 10:05 - May 13 with 3137 views | dirk_doone | Tonda Eckert is our Don Revie. Opposition fans hated his Leeds team, as he turned them from a team that had never achieved more than reaching 1 FA Cup quarter-final into the best in the country. Before that, nobody minded them. |  |

Of course opposing teams will hate us. We used to be the family friendly club that were easily beaten. We are no longer that, Tonda has turned us into winners & everybody hates winners. Let's not overlook the fact that Tonda is German & has that German mentality, everybody hated the German National team because they were winners. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I think I saw one of these guys in the ground but was too dense to realise what the point of it was. I thought it was a manky Cookie Monster costume or something. |  |

Spot on dirk. I’ve supported the Saints for Sixty years during which we have won one major trophy by persistently being the Brides Maid and never the Bride as the saying goes. It’s about time the Club lost their reputation as being a soft touch. |  |

Absolutely. Those green eyed monsters are well and truly out in force. One big issue though is what happend to Tonda at the end of all this and his reputation. He must have known about this surely, if not, why bother spying in the firat place if he's not going to use that information |  |

| Well we appear to be.... on 13:36 - May 13 with 2569 views | SonicBoom | I don't get it. If you seen the sky report this morning where their reporter goes to the very spot where the "spying" happened, it's just a car park with a wire fence. No big hedges or any of that nonsense. Anyone can stand there and see the training. Also it's nowhere near as bad as cheating on the PSR rules where you get an actual advantage over other squads. We're playing Hull and they have a transfer embargo for not paying other clubs! People use this as evidence as how well they've done, when actually they have cheated !! Where's the outcry? |  | |  |

I hope out lawyers read this forum with all of the mitigating evidence we have for not kicking us out Just let the game go on. Fine us a million quid, make us pay Boro a few quid to stop them crying, and just get on with life |  |

Exactly this. Reading some of the sanctimonious condemnation and denouncements on social media is laughable. Nobody likes a winner. [Post edited 13 May 14:54]

James Corden, yeah the fat lad from Gavin and Stacey, was on Talksport earlier going mad at Saints saying that they should be forced to pay Middlesbrough half of any money they might get for being in the PL next season. A new all time low in a season of utter nonsense in the media circus within football. James phucking Corden. |  | |  |

Hmmm, if only Boro had somewhere discreet to train. You know, a patch of grass with high walls around it giving them complete control. Wait a minute - they do. Their ground. Instead they do their oh so secret training next to a golf course… |  |

Good post. We don't get bullied on the pitch anymore. Tonda has turned us into a nasty side, we carry out the dark arts but we are a team that wins. |  |
