@gavsyjackson @saintspins @Liamjacko I’ll be banned I think after this weekend 😂

@C_Knight87 @saintspins @Liamjacko you and knighty enjoying yourselves on twitter the last few days

If there's any silver lining for any Saints fans whatsoever it's that none of us have to live in Middlesbrough.

@SaintsExtra Don’t worry boys we’ll take him off you after we get promoted Saturday 😉 UTB

🚨📲 BREAKING: Leo Scienza on Instagram #saintsfc

@saintspins You do realise you’ve not been fined 200m and also you’d of had to win on Saturday to earn that £200m… club deserve everything they got and more for cheating,

If the EFL had any balls whatsoever they would just promote Hull automatically. Putting Boro into the final just create's another headache should they beat Hull, when Hull have been preparing to face us for the last 10 days. £200k for Leeds. £200m for Saints. Farcical.

Make no mistake, this isn’t just a win for Middlesbrough Football Club, it’s a win for football and sporting integrity. #Boro | #UTB | #SaintsFC

@KingMonkey83 Yep… I’ll just delete X now I think 😂

@C_Knight87 You’ve had the time of your life on here the last 2 days 😂

@AllSaintsnews98 Don’t mess with Stevie….

🚨 BREAKING: Southampton have lost their appeal and the players have been informed. What a disaster. #SaintsFC

@bensfc4 Will it pal… enjoy the championship and them vests lad

@Jake_Cornish7 Good night Southampton

Imagine if we get the all clear!! The scenes 🤣🤣 #saintsFC

@psk_35 @SaintsExtra No it’s not but your still cheating cunts

@C_Knight87 @SaintsExtra Not our fault you’re shit and you fucked your auto’s and lost in the semi’s is it you cunt.

👨‍💼 Lord Pannick KC, who Southampton have called in for tonight's appeal, represented Manchester City when they successfully overturned a two-year ban from European competition after being found guilty of breaking UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules in 2020 #saintsfc

@psk_35 @SaintsExtra You cheated and cause all this chaos you silly cunt

@SaintsExtra Good. Absolute disgrace of a sanction and way over the top along with reaction from some of our fans. Should be a fine and worst case points deduction

@MikeJudges1 A case for what? You caused the chaos now you think you’ll get reinstate… absolutely dreamers

The list of football experts saying the punishment is excessive grows - Lineker, Shearer, Danny Murphy, Simon Jordan and sweet Jesus even Harry Redknapp! Now if we can just get expert..checks notes...James Corden on board I think we may have a case.😉 #Saintsfc

@SaintsExtra @TeleFootball Good he deserves everything he gets and more

🚨 Tonda Eckert has been 'badly bruised' by the Spygate scandal & fears he could be banned from football by the Football Association & lose his job at Southampton #saintsfc @TeleFootball

@bensfc4 Dreamers Kanye vest….

We are winning the appeal and losing the final to Hull, watch. #SaintsFC

@Jman2507 @Boro You dreamers… you cunts has caused chaos… do not deserve to be there.

6pm we're off to Wembley never in doubt #saintsFC @Boro cancel them tickets lads

@CarlDraper98 🙏🏻🤞🏻

No “subject to change” on this 👀

@SaintsExtra When are they going to realise that they haven’t been fined £200m…

🚨 BREAKING statement from #SaintsFC CEO Phil Parsons: "We have appealed yesterday's decision by the Independent Disciplinary Commission to expel Southampton Football Club from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs, and to impose a four-point deduction for the 2026/27 season. Before turning to that appeal, I want to address our supporters, our players, and the wider football community directly and without equivocation. "What happened was wrong. The club has admitted breaches of EFL Regulations 3.4 and 127. We are sorry to the other clubs involved, and most of all to the Southampton supporters whose extraordinary loyalty and support this season deserved better from the club. "We have provided our full co-operation to the EFL's investigation and disciplinary process. Following the appeal, we will also be writing to the EFL to volunteer our participation in a working group on the practical application and enforcement of Regulation 127 across the Championship. Contrition without change is hollow, and we intend to demonstrate change. "On the appeal itself: we accept that there should be a sanction. What we cannot accept is a sanction which bears no proportion to the offence. Whereas Leeds United was fined £200,000 for a similar offence, Southampton has been denied the opportunity to compete in a game worth more than £200 million and one which means so much to our staff, players and supporters. "We believe the financial consequence of yesterday's ruling makes it, by a very considerable distance, the largest penalty ever imposed on an English football club. Luton Town's 30-point deduction in 2008/09 — to date the most severe sporting sanction in the English game — was levied against a club already in League Two, with no comparable revenue at stake. Derby County's 21-point deduction in 2021 cost them their Championship status. Everton's eventual six-point deduction in 2023/24 followed losses of £124.5 million, a figure dwarfed by what has been taken from Southampton in a single afternoon. The largest financial penalty ever levied by the Premier League, against Chelsea in March of this year, was £10.75 million, and was accompanied by no sporting sanction whatsoever despite involving £47.5 million in undisclosed payments over seven years. "We say this not to minimise what occurred at this club, which we have accepted was wrong. We say it because proportionality is itself a principle of natural justice. The Commission was entitled to impose a sanction. It was not, we will argue, entitled to impose one that is manifestly disproportionate to every previous sanction in the history of the English game. "Our appeal will be heard today, and we will provide a further update in due course."

@AllSaintsnews98 You’ve already been kicked out you must be very deluded if you think that you’ll get reinstated tonight. Hopefully for you cheeky cunts appealing it they hit you with an even bigger points deduction.

🚨 If, and it’s a BIG if, Southampton are reinstated in the final… I feel exceptionally sorry for Boro. I understand the argument that a £200m fine is excessive - but the EFL’s decision surely can’t be reversed now as it will only get messier! #SaintsFC

@JustPayTheMoney @alex_crook @TrevorNigel1981 @talkSPORT Same joker who said they where getting 3/4 mill fine yesterday

URGENT BREAKING 🚨: Southampton’s appeal has been SUCCESSFUL and they are set to be reinstated in the Play Off final! Points deduction has also been removed following the appeal. (@alex_crook / @TrevorNigel1981 / @talksport) #SaintsFC #Boro #HCAFC

@happyhoppy66 Fuking bore of you cunt wasn’t that when you thought you were going to Wembley cheating cunts

Hull should be promoted. No way Boro should get promoted having lost. The outcome doesn’t sit right with me. #Saintsfc #hcfc
