An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubsโ training.
In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.
The effect of todayโs order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

to those of you getting very excited that we 'survived' and Eurovision 'escaped' an ending that its fully deserved for a third year in a row, can we please figure out what finances allowed Bulgaria and Romania to return to the contest thank you
Channel 4 exposed Eurovision's double standard. 'Five countries are boycotting because of Israel. Russia was banned for invading Ukraine. Israel is not banned.
Protesters are being pulled from the arena. Politics is drowning out the music'
Russia is unpopular enough to ban. Israel has enough Western backing to protect - even while committing genocide.
It feels so weird to not give a fuck about eurovision. For my entire life I loved this week so much. But i genuinely feel nothing now. No excitement, no hype, no joy. That genocidal state took something that brought us so much joy and connection and completely ruined it.
Sorry I donโt chime in nowadays but I need to point out how hilarious it is that RTP refused to withdraw despite all the calls to, two (2) artists in FdC saying theyโd go to esc, one of them winning, and ending Portugalโs qualification streak. Karma served on a silver platter

Failure to suspend Israel from Eurovision, as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza, unlawful occupation and apartheid against Palestinians, is an act of cowardice and double standards. #HumanityMustWin

Below is the Spanish video:
And now they come for Parkrun. PARKRUN.
Threatening community run events with legal action cannot possibly be part of protecting womenโs sport.
For these campaigners, the only thing that seems to matter is the erasure of the trans community from public life.
