that's all the major cup details, the rest will follow with your turns, I'm moving onto transfers now...

Will Hughes joins Watford for £3millions from Inter.
Andrea Pirlo joins Lyon for just over £2millions also from Inter.

Man City have made a large bid for Steven Gerrard, once a City player back in the day before his move to Plymouth, back in the day. It'll be interesting to see if this bid tempts the Charlton boss and it would certainly free up room in the team for Henderson, Chamberlain or Walcott, all of whom are champing at the bit to get into the first eleven, interesting times at Charlton for sure.

Coaching now...

and a heads up for all the people that read this far, after careful consideration and conversations with all interested parties I have suspended the Premiership ban on feeder clubs, which means that feeder clubs can now gain promotion to every top division of every league in the game.

Finances now...

I feared this was going to be a cricket score. Well done to Villa. Very creditable.

Same here. Hearts not far from being able to compete maybe.

Seems pretty straight forward.

Man City have also made a large bid to sign Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey, although the Arsenal boss has stated previously that the young dynamo is not for sale.

Wow ........ if the rest of England don't want to get left behind then some cheque books need opening sharpish.

I'm literally sitting in a room with Harry Redknapp, Mino Raiola, Brendan Rodgers, Pini Zahavi, Stu 'love a deal' Foster, 82 Mars bars and a bottle of vodka. No one leaves until deals are done. It's like a poker night on steroids.

Lol, I want in.
