- Sports minister Richard Caborn appeals to Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho to ‘grow up’ as their unseemly feud continues. Mourinho refused to shake Wenger’s hand following Chelsea’s win at Highbury on Sunday because, according to reports, the Arsenal manager did not acknowledge his goodwill message in a Christmas card.

- Conference clubs Kidderminster Harriers and Hereford United beat League One clubs Bradford City and Scunthorpe United, respectively, in the North area quarter finals of the LDV Trophy. Tranmere Rovers goalkeeper Steve Wilson is the only player from both teams to fail to score as Carlisle United win a penalty shoot-out 11-10. Wilson was in goal for Macclesfield Town when they beat Forest Green Rovers by the same margin in the FA Cup in 2001. Cheltenham Town, Colchester United and Walsall advance in the Southern section.
