Some ex-pat drunk in a bar in Torrresmolinos - does that count as a link?

Unexpected and It shows how low England have sunk when a draw is considered a good result.

Feel sorry for Dyche, excellent manager who's done a fine job at Burnley and who I'd welcome at Ewood if he gets fed up at the Turf.

Not surprising. We've always had a thuggish element.

A tough manager would tell Pears to find a new club. He's let his team-mates, the club and the fans down. There's no excuse for a pro to make basic errors like that Will Mowbray do it? Unlikely. He's so perverse he'll probably pick him for the next match

And there's the thing. 4,000 fans made the trip to see that rubbish. I do feel sorry for them. I'd be fuming

A semi-pro keeper wouldn't make a mistake like that, and neither would most amateurs It was unforgiveable. I've never seen anything like it Give him his P45

The FA Cup really matters to the older generation, and I hate this "concentrate on the league stuff". A cup run and good league form go hand in hand, and I wouldn't be surprised if we go into a Tony death spiral from here

A proper manager would never pick Pears for the first team again He's just the latest clown in a succession of third rate 2nd choice keepers

What a load of horse manure Excuse for a pathetic performance that is likely to spill over into league form

Yes we do. It'll teach them that winning football matches cannot be taken for granted and is hard work

Is it extra time or replay?

Gee whiz, that Pears video. Never seen that, not even in a Sunday morning league Sack him and send him down the job centre.

2 competitions .... not numerous And it's the FA Cup FFS. It matters Don't understand how "getting beat" is good in any context

Pears aside, it doesn't say alot for the other players if they haven't pulled their tripe out today because it "only the cup" Typical Mowbray though. He couldn't care less about the FA Cup

Seriously teed off...this is back to the bad old days of silly mistakes and losing games we should be winning

Focus on the league....someone had to say it No, because a good cup run is just as important to morale as the league

We should not be losing this. It's ridiculous. 1st priority in the January window.... a new reserve goalkeeper

I'll be annoyed if we lose this We've been poor in the cup for years and a good run would give us such a boost and help the current feelgood factor Pears has always got a mistake like that in him unfortunately

Is that Buckley at right back - surely not?

Too right there isn't. Money is the motivating factor and nothing else matters. Lenihan, Nyambe etc are no different.

A bit unfair to say he should have an "offensive" role when he seems by all accounts to be a decent lad on and off the pitch Or do you mean "attacking"?

Ashley's Newcastle legacy and why they were glad to see the back of him after 14 years of turmoil https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-mike-ashley-legacy-toxic-21816047 Good luck Derby. You'll need it.

Poor old Derby County fans ....Mike Ashley says he wants to buy the club

Looks a good player in the Dutch league but the fact he didn't get much playing time at Hertha raises questions. He loves going forward and certainly gets stuck in ..... card waving Championship officials will be kept busy
