Ambitious but not impossible 26/27 lineup (obviously this isn’t what we will play just couldn’t be arsed to change the formation ) #boro

@BBCNewsnight I long for the day when a newsnight presenter points out to these people that our greatest economic growth in the last generation was the 80s and 90s when immigration was at its lowest.

"We're definitely losing bright, talented, young, early-stage researchers to other locations - because there's so many friction points before actually getting into the UK" Gillian Tett, Provost of King's College, Cambridge, responds to today's immigration figures. #Newsnight

@archiert1 Because the 51% rule ensures the slumbersliga is full of pub teams and is incredibly dull

Villa under Unai Emery have spent nearly twice as much as Freiburg have in their entire history.

@SaintsExtra @talkSPORT He had a go in the 24/25 season and was garbage and got bullied every week. Why would he want to subject himself to another 16point bloodbath?

🚨 Southampton players including Taylor Harwood-Bellis are said to be ‘raging’ at having their shot at a place in the Premier League & the lucrative salaries & status that come with it snatched away #saintsfc @talkSPORT

A night of Saints as villains. And Villans as saints.

🚨 BREAKING: Southampton expected to sack Tonda Eckert #saintsfc @talkSPORT

@henrywinter @JYaj Well said sir. Disgraceful whataboutery and piety

Anyone with any knowledge of English football history will know that it is ridiculous for Southampton’s chief executive, Phil Parsons, to claim that their expulsion from the Championship play-offs is a bigger punishment than the 30-point deduction imposed on Luton Town in 2008 which led to relegation and almost throttled the life out of the club. Absolutely no comparison and completely weakens Southampton’s attempted argument that being thrown out of the play-offs is “manifestly disproportionate to every previous sanction in the history of the English game”. There is some good stuff in Parsons’ statement: accepting culpability for Spygate, apologising to those clubs they spied on and apologising to their fans “whose extraordinary loyalty and support this season deserved better from the club”. Well said. But… the rules changed since Leeds United’s “similar offence” in 2019, there is no right to the £200m (it’s not a fine), and to play the whataboutery game and make the comparison with the Hatters is, fittingly, mad. Southampton’s reputation is certainly damaged but at least their very existence is not at risk. #SaintsFC #LTFC

@SaintsExtra @MailSport

🚨 Southampton's players were unaware of the spying practice taking place under Tonda Eckert #saintsfc @MailSport

@nickdemarco_ No need to ever buy another drink in Teesside Nick. Chapeau Sir. Thank you

Delighted for Middlesbrough on this result. Good luck to MFC now for the final!

@Scottwilsonecho @Boropolis Surely the timeline for the appeal is all that matters?

@FootballMartin_ This bloke has churned out twenty scenarios of what might happen to cover his horse. Hes clueless

Great insight from Stefan Borson #SaintsFC

@APartridgeQOTD You’ve come free at the side Andy.

I've had these shorts since 1982. They did have an under pant lining but it perished.

@Danjsalt Big time. With a £100bn get out clause

The EU will no doubt now negotiate to lock the UK into alignment for a decade Watch this space

@EFL_Comms Utterly gutless. It’s your process so you should set the timeline for the arbitration. How many photos of men behind trees do you need? Boot saints out and do the detail over the summer. Get on with it. People have booked non refundable hotels and trains.

🚨 NEW: The UK economy grew by 0.6% in the first 3 months of 2026

@sportingintel Difficult to know what more evidence they need. How difficult is it to get Saints on a zoom call for an hour and present the evidence to them? Don’t need the detail around other clubs being spied on. Sort that out later when you decide the full punishment.

Ticket sales to Saints fans for the Championship play-off start on Friday. You would imagine that if the EFL think there is a realistic chance of Saints not playing in this game, they wouldn't let this go ahead. Utter incompetence if they sell tickets knowing it might not happen.

@Boropolis @MailSport Oxford sacked Gary Rowett 23rd December we a few days before their game with saints Boxing Day.
