TV picks for the FA cup . Thursday - Palace v Everton 8pm ITV4 Friday - Spurs v Burnley 8pm ITV4 Saturday - Sunderland v Newcastle 12.45pm ITV1 Boro v Aston Villa 5.30pm BBC1 Sunday - Arsenal v Liverpool 4.30pm BBC1 Monday - Wigan v Man Utd 8.15pm ITV1 Surely more attractive games than watching 4 reserve sides in the first 2 games .

Barnsley were kicked out of the FA Cup in November for fielding an ineligible player in their 3-0 first-round replay win at non-league Horsham. Forest Green Rovers have been ordered to replay their FA Cup tie against Scarborough Athletic after admitting fielding an ineligible player. I wonder what the difference was in the two cases?
Very good goal from McNeil gives Everton a 1-0 lead over Newcastle with less than 10 minutes to go. And let's them leapfrog Luton...
After yesterdays 4-0 thumping at the hands of Inter, Udinese are only one point above the relegation places. I wonder if a new head coach will be appearing soon?
In the end City''s quality told at last. Cannot be often a team has won 5-0 twice in a week at home.. Impressive by Fulham.
Unsurprisingly Alex Neil sacked by Stoke. Bit like with us Stoke have a few ex managers dotted around ! A poisoned chalice. Will he go back to Sunderland?

And some of our fans are unhappy with Gino - they'd be incandescent if he did anything like this. I hope the Turkish FA stick to their word and dish out severe penalties on all those involved - life bans and even relegate the club. Some people need such harsh treatment.
It will be more than just a reaction from the Turkish FA - arrest warrants are being issued on Tuesday for the president of the club and for two others involved in the attack. In Turkey this does not involve such things as small fines or warnings and life in Turkish prisons isn't nice. This will be made into a showcase because it necessitated an official reaction from Recep Erdogan - according to him ''Sport means peace and brotherliness and is incompatible with violence'' and ''We will never allow violence to take place in Turkish sport'' (both translated from Turkish to German and then to English !). According to him a place of sport should be safe for all participants and spectators alike - he should try attending a match involving Besiktas, Fehnerbahce or Galatasary, it's like an introduction to hell for any visiting fan.
His black eye came from someone (coaching staff) kicking him in the head/face when he was down on the ground
