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 Clubs’ training. In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table. The effect of today’s 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. 📘 efl.com/news/2026/may/…





The RFL has decided to stage the 1895 Cup final, which doesn't have a sponsor, on Monday, August 31, a day after the final round of Championship games. One Championship figure said it was "madness", while another individual described it as "very odd". patreon.com/posts/1895-cup…











Squad news is IN 😮💨 #UpTheRobins🔴⚪️









@RobertJenrick I’d never say Psalm Sunday.


Pep Guardiola at the heart of Manchester City. Surrounded by players and staff. If this is the farewell season for Guardiola, he’s going out with trophies, first the League Cup, now the FA Cup, even if the title is very unlikely. 20 major trophies in 10 years. Yes, he’s had huge resources. He’s been able to strengthen mid-season with such ready-made stars as Semenyo and Guehi. He’s had huge power. Yes, City still have the 115 verdict to come (some year) and they vigorously deny all charges. But Guardiola has changed the way we look at football. Full-backs inverting into midfield, central overloads etc. And he’s so much more than possession, possession, possession. He’s played with pace, and not many English teams play with two flying wingers, Doku and Semenyo. He’s given youth a chance, and England will benefit from O’Reilly this summer. Hope Guardiola stays but if he does leave City, Maresca stands by. Huge boots to fill. English football will be the poorer without Guardiola. #CHEMCI
