fWotD Episode 3303: 2006 Football League Championship play-off final Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 21 May 2026, is 2006 Football League Championship play-off final.The 2006 Football League Championship play-off final was an association football match which was played on 21 May 2006 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, between Leeds United and Watford. The match was to determine the third and final team to gain promotion from the Football League Championship, the second tier of English football, to the FA Premiership. Reading and Sheffield United, the top two teams of the 2005–06 Football League Championship season, gained automatic promotion to the Premiership, while the clubs placed from third to sixth place in the table took part in play-off semi-finals. Third-placed Watford defeated sixth-placed Crystal Palace in the first semi-final, while fifth-placed Leeds United beat fourth-placed Preston North End. The winners of these semi-finals competed for the final place for the 2006–07 season in the Premiership. Winning the final was estimated to be worth up to £40 million to the successful team.The final was refereed by Mike Dean and was watched by a crowd of 64,736. It was the last play-off final to be held at the Millennium Stadium, as the new Wembley Stadium was completed in time for the 2007 final. Watford won the match 3–0, with opening goalscorer Jay DeMerit named man of the match. Leeds goalkeeper Neil Sullivan scored an own goal to make the score 2–0 to Watford after 60 minutes, and the final goal was a penalty kick scored by Darius Henderson.The following season, Leeds's manager Kevin Blackwell was sacked in September, with the club second from bottom, and was replaced by Dennis Wise. The club went into administration the following May and were deducted ten points; they finished the season bottom of the league and they were relegated to the third tier of English football for the first time in the club's history. Watford struggled in the Premiership and were relegated back to the Championship after ending the season bottom of the league, ten points below safety.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:58 UTC on Thursday, 21 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see 2006 Football League Championship play-off final on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ayanda.

The podcast in search of the sea lives! But, over the course of three QPR games, is a maritime connection uncovered? It seems unlikely as Alex journeys to Deepdale in Preston, Loftus Road in Shepherd's Bush and finally Champion Hill in East Dulwich. Alas, poor FOTM, for Dulwich Hamlet is nowhere near the Med, Preston North End is even further away and QPR's only discernible nautical allusion is the blue of their hoops. No matter. Ricardo and Deano were fine company in the north, Ricardo was again on form in Shepherd's Bush and West Ham Dan was as lively as ever down in Dulwich. The stand-out performer, though, was Alan 'Monday, Tuesday' Haringey. A belting rendition in the midst of a 5-1 London Senior Cup win for the Rs.

You can still donate to our Benali on Tour fundraiser for Saints Foundation here — every contribution makes a difference: https://saintsfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/total-saints-podcast-x-daily-echoSouthampton are officially heading into the play-offs — and with a win behind them.On Episode 378 of the Total Saints Podcast, Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour, Alfie House and, briefly, Producer Alex Graham to look back on a huge weekend for the club and the podcast team.Before the football, the panel reflect on Benali on Tour, after Martin, Alfie and Alex took part in the gruelling 10 Lake District Peaks challenge in aid of Saints Foundation. It proved to be one of the toughest physical challenges any of them had ever faced, but thanks to the generosity of the TSP community, more than £3,000 has been raised so far, with the wider fundraising total heading towards £50,000. There's also praise for Franny Benali, Iain Dowie, the Saints Foundation team and the many supporters who made the weekend so memorable.The focus then turns to Saints' 3-1 win away at Preston North End. With fourth place on the line, Tonda Eckert made a few changes, resting James Bree and Finn Azaz, while Shea Charles and Cameron Archer were used in slightly different roles. The panel discuss the overall performance, goals from Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Ross Stewart and Kyle Larin, Daniel Peretz's mistake, Tom Fellows' lively display, and why Caspar Jander continues to look like one of Saints' key players heading into the final stretch of the season.There's also a discussion around Player of the Week, the atmosphere at Deepdale, the impressive away following, and the strange sight of an inflatable object making its way around the away end.Attention then turns to the play-off semi-final against Middlesbrough. Saints were beaten 4-0 at the Riverside earlier in the season, but the panel discuss why this version of Southampton looks very different now. With Flynn Downes available again, Jack Stephens working back towards fitness, and selection questions around Matsuki, Tom Fellows, Cyle Larin and Ross Stewart, there are big decisions ahead before Saturday's first leg.The team also discuss the importance of finishing fourth, the psychological benefit of having the second leg at St Mary's, the dangers of complacency, Middlesbrough's recent form, and just how much promotion could shape the future of the squad.To finish, there's a quick word on the Southampton FC Women's team, who ended their WSL2 campaign with a strong win and a fifth-place finish, plus a reminder to catch TSP's recent interview with Marieanne Spacey-Cale.We'll be back next Sunday at 7pm to react to the first leg and look ahead to the decisive return fixture at St Mary's. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Ray and Kevin are back with the remaining two fixtures of the regular season to go through. Starting with Tuesday night's disappointing end to automatic promotion hopes against Ipswich Town. Then on to Deepdale to close out against Preston North End. With the Playoffs around the corner the couple discuss the challenge that Middlesbrough will give us. Learn more about your ad choices.

The automatic promotion dream is over — but the play-offs are officially confirmed.In Episode 377 of the Total Saints Podcast, Martin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and George Rees-Julian to look back on a dramatic 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town at St Mary's. A result that did little for either side, but gave us plenty to discuss: another draining night, a chaotic second half, Ryan Manning's free-kick, Cyle Larin's late goal, Jack Clarke's impact off the bench and another outstanding save from Anatoliy Trubin/Peretz late on. The panel also debates whether Larin has now become the first-choice striker for the biggest games, whether the midfield balance was right, and how much the recent run of eight games in 24 days has finally started to show. With Saints now 18 league games unbeaten but unable to reach the automatic places, attention turns fully to the play-offs. The panel discusses the importance of finishing third or fourth, who Saints might want to avoid, and whether there is much difference between Middlesbrough, Millwall, Wrexham, Hull or Derby as potential opponents. There's also a look ahead to the final game of the regular season, as Saints travel to Preston North End with thousands of supporters heading north and a possible home second leg still to play for. There's also an update on Benali on Tour, with Franny Benali, Martin, Alex, Alfie and a group of Saints fans taking on a 14.5-mile challenge across 10 Lake District summits in aid of Saints Foundation — with the TSP team closing in on 100 sponsors before the weekend. https://saintsfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/total-saints-podcast-x-daily-echo Hosted on Acast.

fWotD Episode 3281: 1998–99 Gillingham F.C. season Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 29 April 2026, is 1998–99 Gillingham F.C. season.During the 1998–99 English football season, Gillingham F. C. competed in the Football League Second Division, the third tier of the English football league system. It was the 67th season in which Gillingham competed in the Football League, and the 49th since the club was voted back into the league in 1950. The club signed two new forwards, each for a new club record transfer fee, but started the season in poor form, winning only one of the first eight league games. The team then went on a much-improved run, being undefeated for 17 league games, and began challenging for promotion to the Football League First Division. Gillingham finished the regular season in fourth place in the Second Division, qualifying for the play-offs for promotion to the First Division. After defeating Preston North End in the semi-finals, they played Manchester City at Wembley Stadium in the final. Gillingham were 2–0 up with less than ten minutes remaining but conceded two late goals, and Manchester City won the subsequent penalty shoot-out to gain promotion.Gillingham also reached the southern section semi-final of the Football League Trophy, but were eliminated from both the FA Cup and the Football League Cup in the first round. The team played 56 competitive matches, winning 26, drawing 16 (including the play-off final), and losing 14. Carl Asaba was the team's leading goalscorer with 22 goals. Paul Smith made the most appearances during the season, playing in 54 of the team's 56 matches. The highest attendance recorded at the club's home ground, Priestfield Stadium, was 10,400 for the visit of Manchester City. Despite leading the team to the play-off final, manager Tony Pulis was dismissed from his job shortly afterwards amid allegations of gross misconduct. He sued the club for unfair dismissal and accepted an out-of-court settlement.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:09 UTC on Wednesday, 29 April 2026.For the full current version of the article, see 1998–99 Gillingham F.C. season on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Arthur.

The no-nonsense full-back started his playing career at home city club Birmingham before spells at Blackburn Rovers, Preston North End – where he first worked alongside David Moyes – and Halifax Town before swapping his boots for the physio's bag. Nicknamed ‘Baz' after actor Basil Rathbone, who was famous for playing Sherlock Holmes, he shares an array of anecdotes about his two spells at Everton, the first of which lasted from 2002-2010.Mick, 66, recalls how he was initially scared to take up a role at Goodison Park and tried to price himself out of a move, how he won favour with an intimidating Duncan Ferguson when first arriving through the door, how he was often on the receiving end of players' practical jokes and how he made up a story about the manner of his departure that prompted Moyes to get straight on the phone to him.When it comes to his book, the third and final part of the highly acclaimed The Smell Of Football trilogy is told with flair and unique insider insight. Mick concludes his riveting football memoir with a 100-day diary starting in the early 2024/5 season. Once again, he brings us a unique insight into the world of professional football, this time through his role as a physio. Written with humour and candour, the book demonstrates that incredibly fine line between winning and losing – the width of a goalpost or a referee's decision – and the diametrically opposed emotions they bring.This book is for diehard fans who support their team unconditionally, season after season. It will show them just how much the players and officials really do care and, sadly, just how painful and emotionally draining defeat is. It is an honest account that draws on the author's incredible 50 years in professional sport, bringing to life the day to day running of a professional football club.Link to the book:https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/smell-football-iii Chris Beesley's Book: Spirit of the Blues: https://tinyurl.com/35yrkvdb *Emotional farewell to Goodison Park | 16-page Everton souvenir picture special:* https://shop.regionalnewspapers.co.uk/liverpool-echo-monday-19th-may-2025-4583-p.asp *Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:* https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir *Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here:* https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO's Royal Blue YouTube channel.
