Brighton was not an upset at all, Newcastle have been really poor this season, in not one match have they convinced me and thought Brighton would beat them, they're only like 16 places behind them in the pyramid, which is like Peterborough beating Cardiff in the Championship a few weeks back and the gap there was bigger!. Brighton also beat Newcastle last season remember, and that was an upset as Newcastle were flying and Brighton's great start to the season was going through a mini-slump. Still, fair play to Brighton especailly with former Swan Andrea Orlandi getting on the scoresheet. Suarez was a cheat tonight, although he would have been an idiot to shout "I handballed it!", it's just that celebration that engraged me. We v plussed it as we were out, so may rewatch tonight, sad harrogate went out though Yeah, it's a sh*t way to go out, alongside away goals and handballed goals like tonight!. Fair play to Hastings however yesterday, their goal was the best of the round!!.

Orlandi's goal was a great one - dodgy first touch, brilliant second one - so thanks to Swansea for letting us have him! Now he might get the chance to play against his old team sooner than expected. The result counts as an upset in the sense that Brighton are in a lower division. However, they were favourites with some bookies.

He did well with us in the promotion season, is a shame Rodgers had no idea on how to play him and only gave two Prem starts!. One of those he scored in 24 seconds, yet was still benched for the next two games!.
Laurdup would have had more of an idea, but I don't blame him for leaving due to a lack of game time, same with Stephen Doobie being sent to the reserves.

Mansfield need to forget the FA Cup now and concentrate on gaining promotion back to the League. They'll never have an easier chance than this season as there is no consistent team at the top.

She's no mum Carolyn is John Radford's missus, she came as his gf and was soon married and is the ceo now as well, put a few noses out of joint and can put her foot in it, but hey John radford is paying the bills and keeping us going, so he can do what he wants, as long as he's trying to get us back into the football league. You are kind of right Robin, but Grimsby have come good recently, what we needs is an end of season run like we had last season, which put us comfortably in the playoffs, this season, such a run could win us the title. I cant take the playoffs again, losing to York was heartbreaking!

Grimsby have signed Richard Brodie as well, which is bad news for other teams

Well done to Mansfield for the way they battled in the second half, they deserved something out of that game. Brighton beating Newcastle was, sadly, not a shock. We were absolutely abysmal. It's going to be a long second half of the season...

When you drop into the Conf, it's a b**** getting out of it in an upward way!. That's why I'm glad we didn't drop into it in 2003, as I knew it would be hard to get out of!. Many Swans fans see that survival moment as the start of our ascendeancy as a result.

Read an interview with her in the paper, think it was the Friday, and also saw Football Focus piece on the Sat. From reading the interview certainly gave me the impression she only came because of her connection with John Radford, (sorry if i'm speaking out of turn here!) but that said she seems to be creating a good set-up at Mansfield (her work with academy (?)springing to mind here) So whatever the reason for her initial arrival it's looking the right decision. I know she had no football background previously, but was she a football fan before joining the club? Also, this was less the case when seeing her on Football Focus and the itv highlights on Sunday, but she looked older than 30! No wonder daz called her a milf! Oh, and i knew how you felt after the Suarez handball, there was that Ba handball for Newcastle that cost Reading a deserved win earlier in the season. That said, Suarez one was worse as it was more deliberate, the Ba one tbf was just a fluke, and also your game was more significant to the club.

She does look older than 30, in fact she's been 29 for the last two years now! She had a fashion background I think, and isn't a football fan, but the club belongs to john radford, so if he wants to let her be ceo, he can, because he's pumped millions in to keep us afloat, rather than take money out like the previous owner! Derby v Blackburn in the next round for us, £24 for me, my dad and Sam, sorted!

No different to Karren Brady really, though I'm not sure she was shagging David Sullivan when she got involved with Birmingham.

Tottenham out, and Liverpool out and Chelsea almost out! Liverpool got just what they deserved, so pleased for Oldham!

I betted 20 quid on it at half time (Oldham), got 55 pounds profit!.
Glad those two are out, that's what you get for complacency, while Norwich were simply outplayed and off form lately. Hope the Swans will knock the final nail in their Premier League coffin in April, especailly what with the comments Ruddy and Holt tweeted last season about us.

Just watching the luton v millwall game, and they focused on the famous pitch invasion by the millwall fans, and then said how things have changed, and failed to mention the assault by the luton fans on the york fans and players after they lost the playoffs a couple of years ago, funny that.
