Has it ever been more embarrassing to be football fan before than any Southampton FC fan right now?

Fans have no control over it so why be embarrassed?

By the same logic, you can't be proud or embarrassed with anything the team does. Unless that's actually what you're saying.

Embarrassed to say they support a club now that has admitted cheating the sport.

Ah yes, watching other teams train is more embarrassing than being owned by states with countless crimes against humanity.

Give your head a wobble.

Because sportswashing is the greatest trick the devil... Trust me. The offence isn't that bad. It's the correct punishment for stupidity but it's not as bad as perceived. It's a game and they tried to get a edge. End of.

Yes, it is more embarrassing every single day to be a Newcastle United fan

Is it ever not embarrassing being a Southampton fan? At least Profumo got a shag off of a 19 year model

It's far from the first time a sports team has been caught cheating.

For comparison the largest sporting fine in history is $100K.

McLaren were fined $100m in 2007

🤦 Googled it to get the currency correct. Didn't check the magnitude. Thank you for the correction.

The FA youth cup final is normally played in the home drawn teams main stadium. A few years ago there were around 66,000 people at Old Trafford to watch the final. This year Man City were drawn the home team and opted to play in their 7,000 seater youth team stadium and didn't sell out their allocation.

There are lots of football subs you could have posted this to

SaladAnySauce@reddit (OP)

Sorry, is football offensive to you? Do you get mad about every post on this sub that isn’t of interest to you?

speedisntfree@reddit

Keep reinforcing the stereotype

Have you ever blown a twelve point lead to finish second in the Premier League?

[-]

SaladAnySauce@reddit (OP)

This is more embarrassing.

laidback_chef@reddit

Its really not.

Nels8192@reddit

Man Utd have tbf, they blew 13 pts to Arsenal

Fan's around these parts shudder at the reminder of 2007–08 Derby County F.C in the Premier League. Run of 32 league games without a win. Deep Cringe.

If you've checked Chelsea's form recently then remember you're not West Ham and keep going.

Yes because what you're meant to do when you're caught cheating is to call a huge press conference where you spend an hour and a half explaining more about the team you spied on than that teams manager even knows and just come out looking like an absolute chad, the club get fined and you just go "I'm a super chad ill pay the fine since no rule way broken!"

One small problem being that there is a rule now and it was broke, kind of ruined the whole thing really.

Employing Russell Martin was far worse than any spying
