COME ON YOU MAGPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I support Chorley again.

Well Done Chorley.

What about Vermiglio swapping with Evans?

Chorley deserved the win. They were very good at running the game down in the last 20 minutes. No signs of nerves in the last 20 minutes as they controlled the game. Something Bolton cant ever do. Well done to them.

I'm going to resurrect 'Chorley Nuts', I regret letting the domain lapse for the sake of 75p.

Congratulations to National League North side Chorley!

They’ve come from 2-0 down to win 3-2 away at Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup.

The draw for the second round of the FA cup is on bbc 2 at the moment. They just showed that second Chorley goal, it was great! I bet their fans and those who know them will have been laughing out loud at the scorer running across the pitch celebrating his goal, and the two managers laughing afterwards.
This is the best part of the FA Cup, with the lower divisions in. Not so good when the usual lot join in later on.

Wow at John Rooneys goal for rochdale! ( Waynes brother ). I bet theres eyes on him after that one!

This England manager, Southgate. Isnt he the one that missed that penalty?

Glad to see Southgates playing Grealish, we don’t have a player like him - always wants the ball, great delivery and great at finding space. He has to start at the Euros.

Totally agree, he's been the stand out player in the Prem this season.

I just fear that come the big games Southgate will revert to being ultra defensive.

Scotland go through to “Euro 2020” after beating Serbia on a penalty shoot out. Do love a penalty shoot out when it doesn’t involve Bolton or England

I am chuffed about that. That makes the tournament more exciting. More games of interest to watch. I remember Scotland in Argentina in 78, it was superb.

The Scots could teach England a thing or two about penalties, they haven't missed one in their last 2 play off games.

Glad to see the EFL have changed to 5 subs now, will Evatt still not have a back up keeper on the bench though?

Looks like the natives are restless and want rid of Parky! Surprised it took them this long to be honest.

Can't see Neil Lennon lasting the season at Celtic TBH. They've been pants this year, knocked out of Europe and Rangers are storming the league - not what Hoops fans want or expect.

 True Lusty, i know a Celtic diehard and he wants him gone now.

I didnt know that Chorley played in the FA Cup yesterday. Chorley won 2-1 away at Peterborough United and are in the 3rd round of the FA Cup!!
Well done to them. When is the draw for the 3rd round?

Chorley v Derby County
Marine v Spuds

Watching Rob Holding put in a very mature performance against Chelsea was bittersweet. He's growing into a top player.

Joey Barton sacked by Fleetwood after fallout  from Ched Evans rumpus.

I read in several papers that Evans is still looking for a move away even after Barton's been potted. Would anyone on here think he'd be decent for us?

He's already signed on loan to Preston for the rest of the season apparently.

OK, I'm behind the times (so what else is new ) with this one. Thanks sluffy.

Chorley are one up against Derby County in the FA CUP! Early goal from them.

Congrats to Chorley who are through to the 4th round after beating Derby County 2-0. An awesome result for them and one their fans will likely treasure forever. I for one hope they get a really 'big' club in the next round (with no disrespect to Derby) so they get the max money possible from TV coverage and sponsorships etc. Who knows, with luck they may even be able to have fans at the game by then but whatever happens I'm delighted for them.

Here we go, then - @Adele pic.twitter.com/jPhuIvu6dZ
