In a bid to overturn the decision‚ Southampton turned to leading barrister Lord Pannick KC‚ who is also representing Manchester City in their ongoing legal battle with the Premier League over the club's 115 financial charges.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: When you are fighting for survival‚ the wounds are not supposed to be self-inflicted. But here against a Newcastle team with little to play for beyond pride‚ West Ham found an enemy within. For them‚ there was little pride in a performance that will likely mean the club is playing in the Championship next season. The fatal blow came from their own hand‚ quite literally. El Hadji Malick Diouf threw the ball loosely in the direction of substitute Pablo‚ who looked like he'd rather still be on the bench.

Middlesbrough have publicly stated they want Southampton to be 'prevented from participating in the EFL Championship play-off final' over the 'Spygate' scandal. Boro's bombshell statement‚ released on Friday‚ says kicking Saints out is the 'only appropriate response' over an issue that 'goes to the heart of sporting integrity and fair competition'.

This is the sensational image that shows a Southampton analyst hiding behind a tree and using his mobile phone to spy on Middlesbrough's training session. Daily Mail Sport can exclusively reveal the picture that proves the individual was overlooking Boro's tactical drills in the 72 hours before their Championship play-off semi-final first leg on Saturday.

Ayling was incensed by something Harwood-Bellis‚ who is engaged to Man United legend Roy Keane's daughter Leah‚ said to him on the pitch. The heated row spilled over onto the touchline and the managers had to be separated when the referee was explaining the dispute to them. Fans watching the live coverage of Southampton's dramatic 2-1 win that sent them to the Championship play-off final were in the dark over what caused such a heated reaction.

Championship clubs to vote on rules to widen gap in spending power to League One

'Saints' has become one hell of an ironic moniker in the space of a week. In their ruthless pursuit of Premier League football‚ Southampton have pushed‚ bent and perhaps even broken the rules to an unprecedented degree. They've taken football's dark arts to a level that would make even Diego Simeone wince. We'll call it skullduggery here but rival fans have been more explicit in condemning the behaviour of Tonda Eckert's Championship villains.
