The only good thing to have come out of days games is Hughes immanent sacking.

Stoke sacked Mark Hughes in the immediate aftermath of the Premier League strugglers being knocked out of the FA Cup by Coventry City of League Two. A 2-1 victory thanks to goals from Jordan Willis and Jack Grimmer was the shock of the third round, but Hughes, in his 200th game in charge, was dismissed three hours after the third-round tie.

“Stoke City can confirm that the contract of manager Mark Hughes has been terminated with immediate effect,” the club said in a statement on their official Twitter feed.

During the warm up?

I thought it was further away than next week.

He'll probably start the league Cup 2nd leg at the end of the month.

Newport County 2 - 1 Leeds and it's now added time.

Johner

Newport have been great today, fair play to them.

Harry Palmr

Red card for Leeds player and it's all kicking off.

Mushy

Leeds just really don't like the FA cup.

Losing Saiz is much worse than the match

Leeds are 6th in the Championship.

6 points off automatic promotion.

I wonder how much it means to them ?

That's the reality of the FA Cup in 2018.

It means nothing tbh, promotion is the aim sooner rather than later.

Shrewsbury giving West Ham a great game so far, best chances and they look like they want it, the Hammers don't.

Lovely free in for that Forest goal.

What a goal for Forest. Cracking cup tie this.

Harry Palmr

We need a proper Cupset - Leeds and Stoked hardly counts

What’s that even mean? The same Arsenal that have won 3 of the last 4 FA cups.

monkey9

The Forest fans ole oleing every pass now. This is getting embarrassing for Arsenal.

monkey9

Arsenal back in it? Howler from the Forest keeper.

monkey9

The reaction from that Forest number 4 as he sees the ball roll in. :pac::pac:

niallo27

Savage saying the keeper was unlucky. He wasn't just **** keeping.

Harry Palmr

OMG! Another peno for Forest.

monkey9

Yellow card?? That has to be red!!

Guy:Incognito

That's never a peno.

monkey9

4-2. Jaysis....wait...

It wasn't even a foul for me.

Harry Palmr

Can't be peno and a red

4-2 Forest.

Oh wait a retake?

Agent Coulson

VAR wouldn't have sorted any of those ones out.

I say pen and I say no double touch.

Harry Palmr

Goal given!

Guy:Incognito

That comes up off his right imo. Arsenal hard done by twice in a minute.

It's a stone waller. Tackle from behind and he goes through the players leg first before getting the ball. He should have been sent off, never mind just getting a yellow.

citytillidie

With VAR that would have been hard to call both for pen and if it is a goal

I suspect Wenger will loose his **** after another poor penalty decision

Unearthly

Jesus what's happened here. Didn't bother watching it thinking arsenal would win

He was making an attempt to play the ball that is a yellow in the new laws

No he didn't. The first touch knocks the ball back in to the player.

Oh yeah, is that a new rule in this season?

LuckyGent88

Thought it was right to give the penalty but it definitely was 2 touches. You can tell by the spin on the ball

davycc

The chumpions getting destroyed got to love the fa cup. Giant killers

LOL, Robbie Savage reckons it was one touch.

Agent Coulson

Wenger out?

Not for me I thought he got the ball first. It looked like a double touch for me. The ball seems to slightly change direction.

Yeah it was considered too harsh to lose a player as well I think. Or is it only for keepers. Have to look it up.

edit all players.

Arsenal miss from a yard.

Once in a while they remind you that they are complete dullards.

He's gone through the players right leg first before making contact with the ball.

Anyway, in real time as it happens it looked a clear penalty and that's all the ref can go on.

Arsenal fan TV should be a hoot tonight

LuckyGent88

Game has had everything. The 18year old up front has been sensational for Forest
