I don't think Tonda is a guy who is too worried about being morally correct after all that spying! He is real dark horse actually. You think a guy who is happy to cheat, cares about dissing a previous manager? I love the guy personally but I think he was just pointing out that a player should never be judged too early but also inadvertantly pointing out why the players downed tools for Will Still and it makes sense.

Not sure you are right. "Last summer he came back to a manager who told him he is not good enough and he needs to go the National League."
Last summer he came back to a manager? Came back from his loan i assume. Last summer he came back to Saints didn't he? Or is Tonda not being clear? [Post edited 6 Aug 20:31]

Well i guess it isn't clear who said it, as he didn't name him. But what a dreadful thing to say about a young player nonetheless. [Post edited 6 Aug 19:30]

I thought they all come across well, especially Tonda. Looks like the delay in an answer about Tonda is because "There is a legal process going on". Saints are obviously contesting things etc.
And then Tonda told us what an utter tool the manager was I am assuming he meant Will Still.
"If the board goes up and it's a player from the Academy, you feel the reaction from the stands. It feels different. I think we had some good examples last year, Braggy for example. Last summer he came back to a manager who told him he is not good enough and he needs to go the National League. Then he plays in front of 90,000 people at Wembley.
What a terrible thing to say.

Reply | Less Tickets For Away Fans At South Coast Derby

There are reasons why we have the bubble. Although I don't particularly like it, I understand why. It's a way for the police to keep everybody safe, without too many flashpoints. The police know where we all are, so it makes it easier for them. I can understand that they don't want violence or too much hassle. They can plan the day with certainty (i.e. they know a group of fans won't be meeting at Fareham station for example, so don't need to plan for possible trouble there or any other other station on the way). Yes, it does sanitise things, but I understand why we have it.
However, it's over the top. I really hope we don't need to be on coaches at 7am again. That really is not necessary. Coaches could easily be escorted in en masse from 9am not 7am! Yes, we leave for other away games at that time, but we don't get to the ground 3 hours before kick off with nothing to do! You can't walk round the ground or go.to the pub. 3 hours sat in a seat with nothing to do is over the top and unnecessary. And we were asked to be on the coach half an hour before departure. So again, just sat on the coach with no food and drink looking at a wall in Britannia Road, just waiting around!
When we got to Fratton, there was just one.burger van outside with massive queues. Remember some people hadn't eaten or drank for about 5 hours. At least have more options available, if you can't eat or drink on the coach. I know that not being able to have a flask of coffee with me, (which I normally do.for away games on the coach) , a sandwich and a packet of crisps, was an unnecessary restriction on me as a human being i thought.
Thr throwing of seats, again, I am.not sure how having 100 less each side will stop that. There were some.good throwers from what I can see looking at the footage! It just means even.less.fans get to enjoy the derby. [Post edited 5 Aug 15:33]

Anything to read into? TE was in the stands for the whole game. Fans' Forum announced for next week. Perhaps the club know it's a touchline ban? |

It was a waste of £5 as there was a free stream of the game posted on here!!!
As for the game, typical friendly but Dibbin looks really good. He is quick and tricky. He will thrive under Tonda. |

You're right. But isn't it interesting how Chelsea appeal their points deduction and they win the appeal yet we lost our appeal. Someone has had a word and put a few notes in front of an FA member. |

Chelsea have their points deduction scrapped on appeal. Just a small fine for their 72 breaches!!! The haves and the have nots. One rule for them, another rule for usm Don't you just hate what football has become.
Yet, we are still waiting to hear. If they ban Tonda and disrupt / destroy our season a few days before the season starts, I am ready for mutiny!!! Get games abandoned etc.
Let's see what happens with Tonda, so close to.the beginning of the season. [Post edited 31 Jul 14:35]

Interesting theory, but on the official FA website, it states that they are at the stage that we are at (Tonda has been charged). I am not sure that they could keep it quiet, or could lie about the stage that we are at. Any news would surely be leaked anyway. |

I agree that it's not all the kids fault. The education system is fundamentally flawed in that schools are judged purely on results in maths, English, science and so on. Kids are pressurised to achieve top results academically, got to university, when the truth is that not all kids (and people) are academically minded. These kids feel like failures when they don't achieve, but not everybody is academic.
So many kids are talented in non academic fields, but are wasted and just lose confidence when they don't work and don't have any skills to use and fail their exams or even those who don't fail.their exams but then don't know what to do. Companies can be incentivised to take on young people in future, and I think this is a wonderful idea, potentially lowering unemployment, lowering mental.health issues amongst young people, lowering truancy, and giving us more skilled workers.
I am impressed with Burnham's ideas, but ofcourse let's see if it all happpens. [Post edited 28 Jul 15:49]

Excellent idea from Andy Burnham to shake up education - about time. The number of bored 14 to 16 year olds, forced to do exams and academic study against their will, preventing them from doing something vocational and active like plumbing, building, electrics, hairdresding etc is a flawed system. Some.kids don't want to be doing maths, English, science all day. That's when you get the bad behaviour and then kids going down the wrong path. They get to 17, 18 years old not knowing what to do and end up.unemployed. Give them a pathway, guidance and a skill to continue with when they leave school. This is a great idea IMO.

I was also thinking Matsuki will be a real star this season. He was.good last season but still learning the ropes. I think he will score some crackers this year and be really influential. [Post edited 27 Jul 11:54]

Reply | The annual Pat from Poole gets his League Table prediction hopelessly wrong time
at 21:56 24 Jul 2026
A good prediction to be honest. I don't think Boro will be anywhere near as good this season and would predict a lower half finish too. I don't rate their manager. He only did.ok because Boro were already way ahead in the top 2 before he arrived. I would also predict 2nd place for Saints, assuming Tonda stays.
I have a feeling Wrexham will be higher this season and would.predict that Burnley or Wolves win.the playoffs.
West Ham are the obvious ones to.win the league, but will they? Maybe they have some teething problems after being relegated.
Also think Watford might be in a relegation battle after yet another manager sacking and some.player sales. [Post edited 24 Jul 22:00]

America and Trump continue to ensure that fuel and oil is rising by the day because of an unwinnable war that is completely pointless. There is also horrendous homelessness in many US cities and many can't afford medical care. I wouldn't ever want to lose our NHS. |

I quite like what Andy Burnham is doing. VAT removed from electricity bills is a good move. Might only be £45 but at least it's something. £2 bus fare cap is good. Now news of business rates for pubs being cut by 20 per cent. Too.many businesses have been closing down.
Immediate action on his first days in office to help with the cost of living. This all sounds good to me. [Post edited 23 Jul 14:17]

Reply | Tonda Eckert Predicted To Get Touchline Ban For FA Charges
at 14:10 23 Jul 2026
This is the question that everyone is thinking. Can he sit in the stand, as it would be a "touchline" ban? If so, he would then be able to be in the dressing room. So that woukd be fine wouldn't it. Or is it a ban from management for a few weeks, so he can't then train them?
Whatever it is, Tonda could still manage by video link, or they could sneak him into stadiums and Staplewood in disguise. |
