MIKE KEEGAN: Southampton manager Tonda Eckert has escaped a ban following the FA's investigation into Spygate. The Saints supremo has been handed a six-week expulsion from all football however‚ the penalty is suspended until the end of next season. Southampton were thrown out of last season's Championship play-offs after Daily Mail Sport revealed the incredible revelation that they had spied on opponents Middlesbrough at a training session.
England: Tuchel told to pick Championship striker over Calvert-Lewin to cover Kane - ‘not the answer'
A video that appears to show Burnley defender Kyle Walker 'completely plastered' and alone on holiday in Cannes has emerged on social media. Walker‚ 36‚ is currently vacationing with his wife Annie Kilner during the extended three-week international break‚ having endured a difficult start to life in the Championship with the Clarets. Kilner‚ with whom the full-back shares five children‚ posted an Instagram story of the married couple partying on a beach in what appears to be the luxury of the French Riviera.
JACK GAUGHAN AT THE ETIHAD: Rayan Cherki raced back to halfway. He'd just given former Manchester City academy graduate Daniel Grimshaw the eyes‚ a second home goal of the evening‚ and then compelled to get the tie restarted as quickly as possible. Clearly‚ Cherki wanted more goals. More opportunity to make up for the lost half at Old Trafford last weekend‚ when he was withdrawn at the break owing to Phil Foden's red card. More opportunity to have some fun. Maybe to prove a point‚ if such things are possible on a straightforward Thursday night against Championship opposition‚ although Maresca visibly sighed at some flicks. Fortunately for Mathias Kvistgaarden‚ his wits were very much about him by the time Cherki had made it back to the centre circle‚ hurling the ball in the Dane's direction. With impressively quick hands‚ Kvistgaarden just about stopped it from bursting through his fingers.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac have taken Wrexham from non-league to the Championship since their takeover of the club in 2021‚ and haven't shied away from using their acting credentials for a bit of publicity. On this occasion‚ in a video shared to social media‚ the actors can be seen coming from behind a tree similar to that of which Southampton intern William Salt was caught spying near.
Sorba Thomas has been named on Hull City's bench a day after he flipped his Land Rover on his way to training. The 27-year-old walked away from the crash‚ which happened on Millhouse Woods Lane in Cottingham on Friday morning. His vehicle‚ a grey Land Rover Defender‚ was pictured on its roof‚ with broken windows. The club said it was 'relieved' to hear its player‚ who joined the Tigers from Championship side Stoke City earlier this month‚ was unharmed.
Cardiff's Krystian Bielik appeared to grab a supporter by the throat during a bizarre confrontation during their Championship match against Portsmouth. The incident occurred in the 70th minute at Fratton Park‚ with Cardiff trailing 2-0 to the hosts. Bielik‚ a former Arsenal youth product‚ had attempted to gather the ball from the stands.
Australian actor Jackman‚ who is a Canaries fan as his mother is originally from Norwich‚ is close friends with Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds‚ and told talkSPORT they could soon be rivals in the Championship. In 2023‚ Jackman watched Wrexham alongside his Deadpool and Wolverine co-star Reynolds‚ who co-owns the Welsh club with fellow actor Rob McElhenney. Under the duo's ownership‚ Wrexham have risen from the National League to the Championship with three straight promotions between 2022 and 2025.
NATHAN SALT AT THE MKM STADIUM: Manchester United's new season optimism was extinguished across a bruising 90 minutes in which newly-promoted Hull City ran out deserved 2-0 winners. Hull City have been widely predicted to go straight back down to the Championship‚ but they did a job on Michael Carrick's United side here‚ who never looked at it from the first minute. Goals from centre backs Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy separated the sides but by the final whistle there was no dispute on who the better team was.
CHRIS WHEELER AT THE MKM STADIUM: Well‚ Michael Carrick did say it was ridiculous to suggest Manchester United had been given an easy start to the season away at Hull City. Even in his worst nightmares‚ however‚ Carrick couldn't have foreseen this: an opening-day humiliation at the hands of a team that sneaked through the Championship play-offs in May.
The Premier League gets underway on Friday as champions Arsenal host Frank Lampard's newly promoted Coventry City. It has been another summer of significant change‚ both on the pitch and in the dugout. Nine clubs will begin the campaign with new managers‚ although some familiar faces remain in the division‚ with Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola among those to have switched clubs rather than arrived from outside the league. Newly promoted Hull City‚ Ipswich Town and Coventry will meanwhile be looking to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
Five things guaranteed to happen in the Championship this season: Bowen record‚ Eckert boos‚ Wilder rage
LEWIS STEELE: Liverpool's owner Fenway Sports Group is close to selling one third of the Premier League giants to a billionaire boys' club featuring the owners of Amazon and Facebook. Daily Mail Sport reported three weeks ago that a consortium led by Amit Bhatia‚ the former co-owner of Championship side Queens Park Rangers‚ were serious and confident of buying a stake of around 30 per cent for roughly £1.35billion. And now sources indicate the process is ticking along nicely‚ with suggestions it could be rubber-stamped in the next week.
INTERVIEW BY WILL PICKWORTH: Yet as Walker prepares to return to the level on Sunday‚ when Burnley kick off their third Championship season in five years at home to West Ham‚ it is a period he still reflects on fondly.
Jude Bellingham was welcomed back to Birmingham City like a hero on Friday night as he watched his boyhood club triumph on penalties against Barcelona. Barcelona travelled over to St Andrew's for a pre-season friendly against the Championship club‚ giving Blues fans plenty to cheer about as they were given a rare opportunity to see the LaLiga champions in action. The occasion was made even more special for those inside St Andrew's when England superstar Bellingham‚ who began his glittering career at Birmingham before leaving to join Borussia Dortmund in 2020 and later Real Madrid in 2023‚ was unveiled at the start of the game.
