Championship side Reading came from behind to beat West Brom 3-1 in the FA Cup quarterfinals, angering the Baggies fans who made the trip. After the match, West Brom vice-captain Chris Brunt tried to make amends for the loss by moving to give his shirt to someone in the crowd, but as he took it off, he was struck by a coin thrown from the away end.

Man United loanee admits to playing FIFA instead of watching Midtjylland loss
Manchester United have been so miserable this season that even their loanees are “forgetting” to watch their matches.
BREAKING: Jose Mourinho still thinks very highly of himself
If you thought getting sacked by Chelsea for a second time and seeing the team’s uptick in form under Guus Hiddink would have humbled Jose Mourinho, you must not know who we’re talking about.
Ahead of his scheduled visit to the San Siro this weekend to see former club Inter face Sampdoria, Mourinho made it clear that his ego has not been deflated by his current situation.
Jurgen Klopp went back to Germany and all he got was a lousy pretzel
Jurgen Klopp took Liverpool back to his native Germany for the first time to play the first leg of a Europa League tie against Augsburg. It didn’t go particularly well, but he did get a pretzel out of it, at least.
This is how you earn the nickname “Marigol”
Mexico’s Maribel Dominguez is called Marigol for a reason. She scored four of her team’s seven goals in the group stage of the CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying Championship, saving the best for last with her overhead kick in a loss against Costa Rica that prevented them from advancing to the semifinals.
Quiz: Name one of these players on Man United’s bench

Man United being shamed by their own sweatshirts
This season is the first under Man United’s record kit deal with Adidas. It’s also their worst in the Premier League era.

Since the beginning of time, shirt swaps have always been a one for one deal. “I give you my shirt and you give me yours.” Well, Zlatan Ibrahimovic laughs in the face of this arrangement.

Following in Joey Barton’s footsteps with a loan move to Marseille, Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher endeared himself to his new teammates in the global language of television theme songs.
Made to sing at a team dinner as an initiation to the group, Fletcher stood on his chair and got everyone clapping along as he rapped the theme to the Fresh Prince of Bell Air, even acting out the lyrics as he went.
In moments like this, DJ Jazzy Jeff must look down from heaven and smile.
Gareth Bale can forget about getting an invite to Cristiano Ronaldo’s house
Cristiano Ronaldo was less than pleased with the questions at his press conference on Tuesday ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League match against Roma. First, he was asked if the loved-up relationship between Leo Messi, Neymar, and Luis Suarez is the reason they’ve combined for more goals than him, Gareth Bale, and Karim Benzema. This is just expert level trolling.
