The Premier League season comes to an end and we're breaking down all the biggest storylines from the final matchday of the 2025/26 campaign. Who exceeded expectations? Who disappointed? And what does it all mean heading into next season? We'll also dive into the latest 2026 FIFA World Cup squad announcements, including reports that the USMNT World Cup roster may have already leaked
It was a successful end to the 2025-2026 season for several CanMNT players, and none more than Liam Millar, who helped Hull City return to the Premier League after a dramatic promotion final win vs. Middlesbrough. After a long journey to this stage, it's a huge moment for Millar, who will look to carry that good feeling into what he hopes is a good World Cup for Canada, before hopefully lacing up his boots in the EPL this fall. Alex, Ben and Brendan dive into all other happenings related to Canadians playing abroad, including the upcoming Concacaf Champions Cup final, which will feature CanMNT winger Marcelo Flores, who is hoping to help Tigres UNAL to a big win vs. Toluca, before closing out the show with some talk about the Canadian MLS teams.

It's the final Total Saints Podcast of the season, and unfortunately, there is still only one place to start: the fallout from Southampton's failed Spygate appeal.Martin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and George Rees-Julian to look back on another extraordinary few days at Saints, following the dismissal of the club's appeal against the EFL sanctions and the publication of the Independent Disciplinary Commission's written reasons. The panel discuss the seriousness of the findings, the pressure placed on junior members of staff, the club's handling of the situation, the ongoing FA investigation and the deafening silence from those in positions of leadership.There is also a lengthy discussion about Tonda Eckert's future, whether there is any realistic way back for him, and what Southampton now need to do to begin repairing the damage done to supporters, players, staff, commercial partners and the wider reputation of the club.Attention then turns to the summer ahead. With Saints now preparing for another season in the Championship, the panel look at which players are likely to stay or go, the uncertainty around Daniel Peretz, Aaron Ramsdale and the goalkeeper position, the sellable assets in midfield, and the decisions facing the club over players such as James Bree and Ross Stewart.The team also reflect briefly on Hull City's play-off final win over Middlesbrough, the likely needle when Saints and Boro meet again next season, and what the result said about the play-offs Saints were removed from.There is also time for the final TSP admin of the season, including the Prediction League winners, the signed Atlanta Primus shirt giveaway, Patreon-exclusive merch updates, thanks to our sponsors Steam Town Brewery and Paul Castle Associates, and a farewell to George Rees-Julian as he makes his final TSP appearance before leaving The Echo.

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Rafa Pastrana y José Pérez para analizar todo lo ocurrido en el fin de semana final, la jornada 38, de la Premier League 2025-2026... Comenzando por el definitorio triunfo del Tottenham sobre el Everton para lograr su agónica salvación; a costa de un West Ham que ganó con rotundidad al Leeds pero fue demasiado poco, demasiado tarde en una temporada que ha supuesto su primer descenso en 15 años; mientras que veintidos han sido los años desde el último título de liga del Arsenal y tras ganar al Crystal Palace pudieron llevar a cabo la ceremonia del levantamiento del trofeo; al Manchester City, por su parte, le vimos perder contra el Aston Villa en una tarde de despedir a leyendas del club como jugadores y también su entrenador; algo que también hizo el Liverpool (de momento no del entrenador) en su empate final con el Brentford; algo por lo que tuvo que pasar el Bournemouth, empatar, contra el Nottingham Forest para no darse así ninguno de los tres resultados que necesitaba el equipo de Andoni Iraola para clasificar a la Champions; algo que debió saber casi igual de dulce, clasificarse para la Europa League, para el Sunderland tras una épica victoria final sobre el Chelsea; así como el Brighton cayó ante el Manchester United (de un Bruno Fernandes de récord) y a la Conference League; algo que ni siquieran podían alcanzar ni Fulham ni Newcastle pero fue el equipo de Marco Silva quien ganó; cosa que ni Burnley ni Wolverhampton pudieron hacer en su batalla por no terminar último de la Premier League; competición a la que asciende el Hull City tras ganar al Middlesbrough en la final del play-off y el Bolton, en la división, al Stockport; y mucho más.Apoya que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/159149217Además...

The author of the government's review of youth inactivity has told the BBC that 25 times more is being spent on benefits for young people than schemes to get them into jobs. Alan Milburn - who was a Cabinet minister under Tony Blair - says it is "shameful" that nearly a million young people aren't in work or education, and called for a "complete" reset. Also: France has suspended the new EU border checks at the port of Dover after holidaymakers - trying to cross the Channel at the start of half term - were waiting in excess of four and a half hours. And: In men's football, Hull City have secured promotion to the Premier League for next season by beating Middlesborough at Wembley.

The biggest weekend in the EFL calendar is here, and Wembley is calling—we're previewing a massive triple-header of playoff finals on today's talkSPORT Daily podcast!Angelina Kelly is joined by talkSPORT EFL expert and former Arsenal midfielder Adrian Clarke to look ahead to a dramatic bank holiday weekend under the arch.

Alphonso Davies's injury troubles have continued, as the CanMNT captain picked up another muscle problem while playing for Bayern Munich, one that is serious enough to put his World Cup participation with Canada in doubt. Now, he faces a race against the clock to return to full fitness, and even if that goes well, it's hard to imagine him being at his best this summer, which could affect the CanMNT's plans. In better news, however, some other Canadians are thriving abroad, including Jacob Shaffelburg, Liam Millar and Cyle Larin - in particular, there will be a lot of Canadian interest in the EFL Championship promotion final this weekend, with Millar's Hull City and Larin's Southampton set to face off in football's most lucrative match (unless Southampton's spygate scandal opens the door for Alfie Jones and Middlesborough to get back into the promotion mix). Elsewhere, some key CanWNT players are also thriving in the NWSL, which is good news for Casey Stoney as she continues to get set for the next Canadian Women's National Team camp. Hosted on Acast.

Saints are heading back to Wembley.Episode 380 of the Total Saints Podcast looks back on a tense, dramatic and ultimately unforgettable night at St Mary's, as Southampton beat Middlesbrough 2-1 after extra time to book their place in the Championship play-off final against Hull City.Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to reflect on the key moments from the semi-final second leg, including Ross Stewart's crucial equaliser before half-time, Shea Charles' late cross-shot winner, and the scenes in the Northam End when the ball finally found its way into the net.The panel discuss Saints' slow start, the tactical shape, Flynn Downes being left out of the starting XI, and the impact he made from the bench. There's also praise for the team's fitness and resilience, with Middlesbrough visibly tiring as the tie went deeper into extra time.There's plenty to unpack from a fiery evening too, including the Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Luke Ayling incident, the ball boy controversy, Andy Madley's refereeing performance, and several penalty claims that could easily have changed the direction of the game.The conversation also turns to the ongoing spying controversy between Southampton and Middlesbrough. With more reporting emerging, including the Daily Mail photo published this week, the panel discuss the possible implications, the way the story has been covered, and the uncomfortable uncertainty it has left hanging over what should be a week of pure excitement for Saints supporters.There's also a quick look at the Prediction League, with 78 entries, 68 backing a Saints win and 23 correctly calling the 2-1 scoreline.We'll be back on Sunday night at 7pm for a special pre-Wembley podcast ahead of the Championship play-off final against Hull City.
