West Ham boss David Moyes was reportedly at Stamford Bridge last night, with some media suggesting he was there to watch Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.

The 24-year-old Belgium striker was in action as Antonio Conte's side squeezed past Norwich City in their FA Cup third round replay.

Reports claim, external Batshuayi could be part of a deal that takes Hammers centre forward Andy Carroll to West London, and Moyes seemingly decided to see what the young forward has to offer.

Wonder if Batshuayi will be moving across London...

Dale Bartley: Everton v Villarreal 2005.

Anthony Bariek: Newcastle being awarded a penalty at Old Trafford in the 2011-12 season when replays show it was a perfectly timed tackle, cost United 2 points, who then lost the title on goal difference and there'd have never been the Agueroooooooooo moment.

Nick Rix: The wrongly disallowed goal scored by Paul Scholes against Porto, that led to Porto going into CL semi and the Mourinho touchline run. Without it there would never have been a ‘special one’ !!!

Jack Storer: 1966 final just so the press can stop using it as a bench mark for our expectations. I’d be happier with abject English failure if that’s all that was expected!

Neil Henderson: When Clichy made that tackle in the box against Birmingham City in 07/08, won the ball but they got a penalty and our title challenge collapsed.

Daniel Homans: Maradona 86, lampard 2010 and Pedro Mendez against United. I’m still annoyed about that lol.

Okam Tony: Clearly the William Gallas Clearance... Chelsea vs Liverpool!

Steve Hall: Willian's clear penalty in last night's Chelsea Norwich game.

Liam Dixon: Cheick Tiote's goal against Man City.

Barcelona captain Gerard Pique has agreed a new contract with the Catalan club keeping him at Camp Nou until 2022.

The La Liga leaders confirmed the news on their website this morning.

A statement says: 'FC Barcelona and player Gerard Piqué have reached an agreement to renew the player's contract through to 30 June 2022.

'His buyout clause has been set at 500m euros.

'In the coming days the club will announce the date of the official signing of the new contract, which will keep the La Masia product at FC Barcelona for the rest of the current season and for the next 4 years.

'The centre back started out in the club’s junior ranks, at the youngest level available at the time -Under-11s B- and steadily progressed through the different age groups.

' He left La Masia in 2004 to move to Manchester United, where he gained experience playing in the Premier League and also in La Liga when he spent a season on loan at Zaragoza.

'In the summer of 2008 he was brought back to Pep Guardiola’s Barça side as a proven central defender.

'His return to the club was a hugely important move, as he has been a key part of the best moments in Barça history to date. The defender, considered one of the best in the world in his position, has won everything there is to be won at club level for the Blaugrana:

'Three Champions Leagues, 6 LaLiga titles, 5 Copa del Reys, 5 Spanish Supercopas, 3 European Supercups and 3 Club World Cups.

'In total, a player who identifies with the club more than anyone has earned 25 trophies.

'Gerard Piqué has played 421 games for Barça and scored 37 goals.

'This season he has been one of the players most frequently used by Ernesto Valverde, with 25 appearances and 2 goals to his name.'

Jose Montagna: Chelsea vs Barcelona at Stamford Bridge. Four or five clear penalties.

Stewart Forsyth: VAR in the World Cup final of 1966 would have been lovely. It would show that the ball never crossed the line, and spared us all from hearing about England winning it in every match, of every tournament, since.

Dave Molloy: VAR would have been useful to prove that Roy Carroll did indeed save a Mendes long distance effort at Old Trafford in 2005. He has wrongfully received abuse for this as was clearly not a goal.

Marvin: Gerrard vs Germany .. world cup 2010 !! Still grinds my gears !!

Paolo: I think we can all agree on the Lampard world cup goal. VAR was needed there/

Conor Hennessy: Not a club game but.....2009 France v Ireland......that double hand ball. VAR would have ruled out the goal and maybe Henry would have been shown red too.

Simon Atkins: 2011 league cup final. Lee Bowyer put through and taken down in the box by Szczesny. Definitely a pen, potentially a red. Given offside when clearly on. Although, we went on to win so I'm not complaining too much!

Craig Hughes: Sunderland v Liverpool, the beach ball goal!

Andrew Richardson: Pedro Mendes vs Man Utd. Heart broke that night, what a goal.

Craig Bellamy has been remarkably gracious with his reaction after Ryan Giggs beat him to the Wales job.

Speaking to Sky Sports the former Liverpool and Wales international striker said: "I know there's been a mixed reception but it's done now. He's our manager and we have to get behind him,

"I'd like to thank them for the opportunity of speaking to them.,

"The last two choices they've made have been the right choice for Welsh football and I can see this being the right choice too.

"Good luck to them."

Stoke City

New Stoke boss Paul Lambert is asked about the potential signing of Augsburg defender Kostas Stafylidis. It's safe to say this one looks likely as the Greece international could feature against Huddersfield on Saturday.

"I have to see how fit he is and how he is feeling himself He's not played for a couple of months.

"He's a really good left back and has lots of energy which we need. Hopefully later on today that will go through."

The visit of Huddersfield will be Lambert's first game in charge of a club since he left Wolves in May.

"I will have nerves as normal on Saturday but as soon as the whistle blows they will disappear," he adds. "I'm looking forward to it because I know it will be a great atmosphere."

The Potters are 18th on 20 points, four points and four places behind Huddersfield.

We've seen so far that VAR can right wrong decisions, and then controversially still not be used when wrong decisions have been made.

But here's an idea: what big decisions from the footballing past could VAR have helped with?

Has a big call gone against your club that VAR might have prevented?

Would it have meant a trophy, relegation survival, or a local derby win/loss?

Let us know.
