BREAKING: The FA have confirmed in a statement that they have launched an investigation into Southampton.
"We will now investigate, and won’t comment further until we have assessed the evidence," a statement said 🚨
The most incredible thing about Southampton and spygate is that, still, so much energy has gone into "err this is unfair" rather than apologising to fans, arranging refunds and going cap in hand to to beg them to stick with the club. They have torched their entire reputation.
Millwall - "We're the most hated club in The Championship!"
Ipswich - "Nope, WE'RE the most hated club in The Championship!"
Southampton - "Hold my binoculars!"
A League Arbitration Panel has today dismissed Southampton Football Club’s appeal against the Independent Disciplinary Commission’s decision in respect of breaches of EFL Regulations.
As a result, the original sanction remains in force. Southampton’s expulsion from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs stands, alongside the four-point deduction to be applied to the Club’s 2026/27 Championship record and the reprimand in respect of all charges. In accordance with EFL Regulations, the decision of the League Arbitration Panel is final.
Following the conclusion of the proceedings, the Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final between Hull City and Middlesbrough is confirmed as taking place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 23 May, kicking off at 3.30pm.

Yesterday, Taylor Harwood-Bellis mocked Luke Ayling for his stammer.
Here’s a video of Ayling discussing what it’s like to live with a stammer and his journey.
Anyone who mocks him after watching a video like this should hang their head in shame.
Last word on Southampton. I haven’t seen a single Southampton fan say they’re embarrassed by the clubs behaviour. That to me says everything about the club. As fans, we can’t control what happens from the inside, but the fans are the voice. Your voice is loud and clear. You condone cheating (spying, diving to try and con the ref, ballboy shithousery (cheating again) and the mocking of someone’s speech impediment). Zero remorse. All I’m seeing is “proud”. As a fanbase you should be absolutely ashamed of your club. Absolutely ashamed. No wonder you’re called the Scummers and you have the history you do.

To this day I am haunted by this terrible tragedy. I sat in that stand several times. Many #Pompey fans will remember seeing the pall of smoke above Bradford as we returned from Huddersfield that day. RIP the 56.
