Summary
Newport County, we will miss you. A heroic FA Cup effort against Man City at Rodney Parade ended as it was always going to, but what an effort! It was a cagey weekend in the cup but Millwall gave it the love it deserves, Swansea’s Dan James impressed with his superhuman pace and Ashley Cole returned with a bang (goal).
Elsewhere Portsmouth embarrass themselves, we envision a Mike Dean testimonial and there’s a plea for information about a man who was once the future of law enforcement in Hartlepool.
