Middlesbrough - deducted 3 points foir failing to keep a fixture against Blackburn when they had a flu virus. Caused them to be relegated.
Pompey - for going into administration.
Arsenal were deducted points when they won the title in 1990 and Manu United were also deducted points for the same reason. A brawl between the two teams.
not sure of the other one.

Ha I will start with guessing the founder members. I will go with Accrington for financial irregularities. |

Peterborough's punishment for whatever it was they did was that they weren't allowed to be promoted that season, so at the end of the season they'd have as many points deducted as were needed to stop them from going up.
They had a very good season though, so needed a load of points knocked off.

and I believe a certain club from Manchester were promoted as a direct result |
