the fa cup is one of our targets.or us to bounce back after the game it becomes very important game but it always was my head. as for sultan, they will no doubt want to draw on that incredible result in 1989 when they beat coventry city of the old first division. as for their manager, i caught up with him earlier on and he told me that in his managerial career he would never have expected to experience and i quite like tonight. i remember when i was at eastleigh, many times been on the coach on the way home, hearing other non—league teams get it and there's an element ofjealousy there. you wa nt an element ofjealousy there. you want what they are getting and this year has been our year to do it. we have had previous good runs, we got drawn against notts county and that was on the television but this is beyond your wildest dreams really. it's quite surreal. how would it be to you personally if you could create your own bit of history? little? it would be the biggest upsetin little? it would be the biggest upset in foot

there was an fa disciplinary matter.i think it was an eight week suspension. i do not think it was three months. we we re do not think it was three months. we were aware of it. that is about it really. in terms of more detail, i cannot give you a great deal you will have refer back to his previous club, west brom. manchester city manager pep guardiola says top scorer sergio aguero is still one of the club's key players. he dropped aguero in favour of their new brazilian striker gabrieljesus for the win at west ham on wednesday but guardiola insists aguero is still the main man in attack. big clubs need a lot of strikers. sergio aguero is may be one of the most important players in the squad. without him, girls would not be possible. —— goals. the other games, when he was not banned, he has played and played good. newcastle united manager rafa benitez has said he won't quit despite reports this morning he could be considering his future on tyneside. the club, currently second in the championship, failed to make a signing

sutton united knocked out of the fa cup by arsenal.ver aston villa. and the five sports that lost their olympic and paralympic funding have their appeals rejected by uk sport. so only one place to start — sutton united at home to arsenal in the fa cup fifth round. this the kind of tie the competiton is famous for, but it didn‘t end as the romantics would have hoped. the premier league side beating their national league opponents 2—0 this evening. and our reporterjohn watson, who was at the game, can give us all the details. as you say, sutton united‘s fa cup dream is over. they did dream, but that dream is over. it was a spirited display from the home team and it could have been a different story had some of their efforts gone in, in the second half. it was lucas perez, in a rare start for arsenal, who got them under way. it was a on second got their the second half they got their second and it came courtesy of theo gassed see! it came 52521352 cltlu—j? f walcott, tonight. his 100th-for the turned in his 100th goalfor the 54:3, , to co

i think most encouragement from the fa. i think m ost fa ns encouragement from the fa.tony, good to speak to you. tony evans from the london evening standard. cold and grey possibly the best description of the weather forecast. today's satellite picture tells the story quite nicely. but it stays cold and temperatures will really struggle, not only through the night, but by daytime. overnight, the risk of further showers, rain close to the coast but head inland and we could see sleet and snow. a cold night as well. temperatures below freezing in places and we start off on a rather grey note. that easterly breeze continue to dry in cloud of the north sea. the bird that used you are, the risk of showers. the best in the sunshine likely to be northern ireland and scotla nd likely to be northern ireland and scotland but temperatures will still struggle, 2—5d. one change as we head into the weekend? think again. a light dusting of snow in eastern areas, cloudy and cold. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: figures leaked to the bbc suggest record numbers of patients spent

it is necessary to reform the structure of the fa board to make the fa more independent, to give it the to act. we have been calling for this for years, the select committee has been calling for it in previous reports. we believe now that legislation is the only way in which this can be delivered. that was the recommendation of the last three chairmen of the fa to the select committee, to say the fa cannot reform itself, the turkeys would not vote for christmas, there has to be external pressure and external action through legislation to achieve it. what i am asking in this debate today is that if the government is unsuccessful in getting reform from the fa that a bill is prepared to be introduced into the next session of parliament after the queen's speech to deliver the reform the fa so badly needs. club ownership, safe standing, 20 is plenty, kick—off times, disabled access, tackling homophobia are all issues that need to be addressed by a reformed fa and with more supporter input, i hope that will now happen. i hope this debate will show that we are serious about reform. in the end

i don't do that to the fa cup because the fa cup is not guilty of these decisions. competition is historical. i have do treat manchester united's supporters and the fa cup in the right way. i cannot play under 21 ‘s. tottenham will hope to join united in the last 16, they host gent in front of a sell—out wembley crowd tonight. spurs are looking to overturn a 1—0 deficit from their poor display in the first leg in belgium last week. we were poor and they were better than us. that is why they won. no surprise to me because we watched many games. we knew the quality. what surprised us was our performanc we are aware of how they play and it's up to us to try to be better and show that we deserved to go to the next round. a series of niggling injuries are ruining andy carroll's england chances. that's the view of his west ham boss slaven bilich. the striker has been in great form for west ham when fit — but he's currently sidelined with a groin strain and has only made 16 appearances for the club this season. when he's playing, when he's fit, for me, he is a top striker.

this is fa ke misleading, based on lies. this is fake news.n. criminality and criminal gangs, often it is actually migrants and migrant women that are raped and migrants that are actually the victims of the violence. you make this direct connection cannot make this direct connection between immigration and violence. say you are saying that you can see absolutely no connection to any reference to sweden and any change that the country has been through since 2013, is that right? no, i am saying, sweden is facing enormous tensions because we have been generous in welcoming people from syria, afghanistan, many other countries where there is war oppression. last year we had 36000 and upon the need —— unaccompanied minors. the challenges are very big and daunting but it does not mean that you can blame everything that is happening that you don't like in society on immigrants. we have two, on the contrary, show leadership and the more to integrate them in the labour market and the - system labour market and the school system and to welcome them in ou

if we think about the fa ct ever been.he fact that they've disrupted at least 12 fact that they've disrupted at least i2 plots in the past three years, we can see that they are disrupting plots on a fairly regular basis. we see a fairly steady stream of people showing up in court and fairly advanced plots being disrupted. so there is an intense threat picture. the difference in some ways with what we saw from the time of the ira in the 70s is that we saw more attacks going through and going up attacks going through and going up at very advanced stages, which makes the picture look very different. it is one thing to have agencies disrupting and arresting people, another tab bombs going off in places. is it risky to make the comparison between islamist extremist activity and what the ira was doing? the two threats are quite different in some way. of we are looking at the ira, they had in many ways a much more targeted approach to what they were attacking. 0ften official targets, army targets, police, where as if we look at w
