    Lost and found

    Rob C, Manchester: Lost and found.. I remember my Dad's mates took my older brother to the 1977 F A cup final between Man U and Liverpool. He was about 13 yrs old then. He managed to lose his ticket whilst in London and they were going to have a whip round to try and buy him another ticket!! He was totally devastated but they re traced their steps where they had been, which was a long shot and they finally ended up in a tuck shop where he had been earlier, and there, underneath the counter, they spotted a piece of paper, one FA cup ticket!!!.Unbelievable 

    Lettie, jealous sister: My parents lost my brother at a Coventry City vs Blackburn game in the early 90's. He somehow got to the bench and was chatting to Kenny Dalglish when they found him.

    “He’s got a huge job on his hands to get Fifa where it needs to be - at the top looking after world football.

    “They cannot get it wrong, we need to respect Fifa again. They’ve got to do something big to get that.”

    Cheers Saj. 

    I'll take that nickname by the way. The one I had at school was related to two puppets called Rosie and Jim who lived on a canal boat. Not a fan.

    Anyways on with more important matters. Sam Allardyce returns to Upton Park in the early kick-off today. The Hammers fans never really took to his style of football, but will they give him a good reception?

    There's dedicated coverage of that game here, while we'll continue to build up to the rest of the day's football on this page.

    Thanks.

    Nicholas John Crick: I lost my wallet in the away stand at Blackpool, when watching Argyle. A month later it was sent in the post to me by a Queens Park Rangers fan who had found it a the next home game and tracked me down. What a top man.

    "Both clubs are in awful league form. West Brom have one win in six matches, Palace are winless in a league-high nine games and have scored just four goals in the process.

    "But their FA Cup win at Tottenham has buoyed them. Emmanuel Adebayor has impressed in training. They might have enough to deepen The Hawthorns gloom, unless those home fans can prove really inspirational."

    "West Brom were knocked out of the FA Cup by Reading but I am backing them to bounce back for a couple of reasons.

    "Baggies boss Tony Pulis is great when he has his back against the wall - he will want to shut up some of his own team's fans who have been criticising him, and he is up against his old club Crystal Palace so he will have a point to prove against them too."
