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.

🗣️ Marcelo: "In the final vs Juventus, no one was eating at lunch. The silence was overwhelming. We were terrified. It was Juventus, and they were coming in strong. Cristiano was also restless, but he took the initiative and started eating. “Am I the only one feeling this pressure in my stomach?” he asked. We all admitted we felt the same. We were so nervous, but since Cris said it, he broke the ice, and from that moment, we relaxed. He eased the tension with just one question, we all started to feel like we’re normal.
Before the match, he told me: “We’re going to win easily. It’ll be tough at first, but then we’ll achieve it with ease.” Those words stuck in my mind. After winning that Champions League, he came to me and said, “I told you, Marce, I told you,” and hugged me. I can still picture his face at that moment.
It’s incredible—at the end of the day, these are the stories I’ll tell my grandchildren when they ask me about the greatest player of all time."

For Brazil, it was Cunha or João Pedro, not João Pedro or Igor Thiago.
Igor has a different profile, while Cunha and João Pedro have similar profiles. It wouldn't make sense for Ancelotti to drop Thiago and take Cunha and Pedro. He needs different characteristics.
So, the real question is, is Cunha better than João Pedro?
Josh Kroenke to Mikel Arteta in 2020 when Arsenal were sitting in the bottom half of the table: “the only people you can trust are the ones in the room with you right now. Trust me, I believe in you.”
Six years later they’re both standing on the Emirates pitch together with Arsenal on the cusp of glory.
