@StanLDN @MattHughesMedia And I'm fully in favour of clubs suing the hell out of Southampton if it can be proved that they spied throughout 2026. But it needs to be proved first.

@StanLDN @MattHughesMedia The points penalty being applied retrospectively this season would make no difference other than to home advantage in the second leg of the playoffs. Unless charges are brought for other league games, where the placings were impacted, then it's going to go nowhere.

Millwall and Wrexham consider legal options over Southampton spying scandal | The Guardian theguardian.com/football/2026/…
English
@SaintsExtra @guardian Utter tosh. The league campaign had concluded, with the teams qualifying for the play-offs determined, and the spying was in the prohibited window directly relating to a play-off game.
English
@JacobsBen Good luck with that. There's a long standing precedent that when teams are thrown out of a cup competition, the team that they offended against progresses.

Hull City firmly believe they should be promoted given Southampton were expelled after knocking Middlesbrough out.
Hull unhappy with limited days to prepare for a new opponent and exploring legal options. A challenge after the final is not ruled out.🔽
Ben Jacobs@JacobsBen
🚨 Exclusive: Hull City are consulting lawyers to see if they have a case to be promoted straight to the Premier League after Southampton (subject to an appeal) were expelled from the Championship playoffs. Hull are unhappy at the prospect of facing Middlesbrough at Wembley having spent over a week preparing to play Southampton. Saints appeal is this evening and they will argue the punishment is too harsh. Hull's players had a pre-planned day off today and will return tomorrow with either two days to prepare for Boro, or potentially learn the final is against Southampton again. Hull are leaving legal avenues open, including the prospect of a challenge after the final.🐯 🤝 @alex_crook

@DPJHodges I'd imagine there's more to come if teams can find evidence. I doubt they've only done it the three times they've admitted to when one of the teams was Oxford.

@flying_rodent By this logic, a centrist leader could open the door to the soft left, who in turn open the door to the hard left.
The only solution to this is therefore a hard right leadership.

Genuinely don’t know what happens when the next beige milquetoast Labour leader gets the treatment. Do all the lads just nod along, or what
English
@TheSaintCentre Well, obviously. Current charge relates to the playoffs, therefore any sporting sanction will be playoff related. Any "further" charges would relate to the league, therefore any sporting sanction would be league related.
English
🚨Senior figures across several EFL clubs reportedly believe that, if Southampton are found guilty of further spying-related breaches, the most likely sanction would be a points deduction applied next season, according to The Times

@RonFilipkowski I'm waiting for his outrage that Polyphemus is not being played by a genuine cyclops.

This is like Meltdown Day 7 since a black actress was cast as Helen of Troy.

@Heccles94 And I'm sure that the timing of Streeting's and Simons' resignation is completely coincidental

@mypalfootfoot7 Magnetism will repel just as much as attract. Clearly they meant the former.

Just heard someone on the telly refer to Streeting’s ‘magnetism.’ JFC

"It all hinges.. on this speech from the PM. Now I'm told its not necessarily going to be policy heavy, its more going to be about what motivates the prime minister"

@ToryFibs He's only calling for this to get Streeting in place before Burnham is back in Parliament.

Spot on. The way to stop Reform is to substantially improve the material conditions of the working class. Hope won't do that. Actions will

"We have to go further, we have to be bolder" The Labour right are going with the line that voters love demonising refugees, outsourcing, attacking disabled people, backing genocide & siding with the super rich & the profiteering utility companies, they just want more of it

@mikeysmith Someone needs to ask him why he has taken the test multiple times if he "aced" it.

Trump is now describing in some detail the Montreal Cognitive Test, which doctors use to spot the early signs of dementia, and which he proudly declared his doctors have made him take three times. He thinks it’s an intelligence test.

@Heccles94 Amazing that she's only just worked out that one plus one equals two.

I have two homes, now I’m classed as a second home owner.
Yes, because you own two homes.

@crowseph1000 @Heccles94 She can own two homes, it's just there's extra costs associated with it.
English
@Heccles94 If someone works hard why shouldn’t they own two homes? Not everyone who has money stole it from someone else…
The oppressor/oppressed mindset is such a tragic one
