Congratulations @Batard great news mate!

It's never made any sense to me, just let them go to the bloody toilet.

Come on Arsenal.

As I said I don't see much of the lower leagues barring the odd televised game but yeah sure they'll be plenty of good decisions that go unnoticed and nobody ever praises referees really, though I understand his frustration he shouldn't really be saying what he's saying.

You can't really go around saying things like that but it must be frustrating for managers when the quality of officiating is so poor. I don't really watch games down the league but at the end of the day poor decisions can cost managers jobs.

Sorry to hear that @Stan , all the best pal!

No matter who they get they wont do any worse than Hughes was doing, they've got a decent squad on paper and shouldn't be going down. QSF would be a decent if unspectacular appointment, did a job at Watford.

It'll be a draw I think, Brighton don't concede many really and are dangerous on the counter. They'll take a draw, must-win for West Brom though, them and Swansea are starting to become cut adrift.

They had the better chances though, thought they were the better team personally.

Brighton deserved that last night, better team by a distance. Is there just one replay on TV?

I'm not the biggest fan of his to be honest, useless manager, very good player but comes across as a bit of a strange bloke. He should have been sacked ages ago anyway, for being fucking shite at his job.

Swansea seem to have picked up slightly since appointing Carvalhal and his Sheffield Wednesday team beat us twice last season although I'm not sure that means anything. I think it'll be a draw.

Home draw please.

Is the Leeds game on TV?

Been on the cards for a while that, I expect Stoke will pull away from the bottom once they get a manager in who knows what he's doing.

Banana skin. Luton are going really well in the league and they'll come up with nothing to lose, imagine we'll rotate a fair bit too so I wouldn't be surprised if we went out or were taken to a replay. No excuses for not winning though.

No doubt that West Ham have an advantage given they've had a weeks break, that's the way it goes though.

Hard to see any way Hughes can turn it around, Stoke aren't a sacking club but if they carry on with him then they're going down. Concede so many goals.

Happy New Year all - hope everyone gets what they want from the year.

Load of shite really. Completely different kettle of fish on Saturday against Brighton.

Bizarre appointment, he's been crap this season. Swansea do seem hell bent on getting relegated when you look at their recent appointments.

Watching the Chelsea-Brighton game, Brighton defending well but get the feeling Chelsea will break through eventually.

Burnley 1-0!

Excellent appointment - he'll be very good at that level.

Happy birthday pal @Stan
