Spygate, a thrilling comeback, a playoff glory and a replica of Theresa May's crucial speech on Brexit at BBC Two – the week has been long for Frank Lampard, the boss of Derby.
Viewers listening to BBC One at 10pm and waiting to see the Prime Minister were instead given an extra battle to decide who would face Accrington Stanley in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Just as in reverse of the third round recovery, Southampton threw a 2-0 lead while Championship Derby had reduced it to 2-2. "It happened again," their fans chanted.

When the penalties came, Nathan Redmond, who had previously doubled Southampton by 2-0, dominated the bar, leaving center, Richard Keogh, to lead the ball to Derby.
Southampton director Ralph Hasenhuttl may have listened to Marcelo Bielsa's one-hour presentation on how to defeat Derby. The head coach of Leeds United held a press conference Wednesday to defend himself after spying on the Derby training last week.
There was even a spot of VAR controversy launched Wednesday night. The Lampard players thought they had taken the lead when Mason Mount sent the ball to Craig Bryson, who masked him and let him go to Martyn Waghorn.
Waghorn fed Bryson back and he pbaded the ball past Angus Gunn. Derby celebrated, as did their fans, but referee Anthony Taylor asked VAR to check.

Video Assistant David Coote took his time – two minutes and two seconds to be exact – and the 22 players were back in their place, waiting for the kickoff.
Waghorn was slightly upset, but that's what soccer purists are afraid of – the buzz of scoring a goal replaced by the fear that VAR does not exclude it.
BBC specialist Alan Shearer said the goal should have been maintained. "We are talking about millimeters," he said at halftime. "VAR was not brought for that reason to say that someone is a millimeter offside."
This tie was a priority for neither party. Southampton, struggling for survival in the Premier League, made five changes. Derby, fighting for promotion at the highest level, has achieved six. A whole side of St Mary's Stadium was empty, suggesting that the magic of the FA Cup had not captivated the imagination of the locals, this Wednesday night cold.

Southampton finally took advantage in the 68th minute when Mohamed Elyounoussi took advantage over Shane Long, whose head had been cleared by Scott Malone. Stuart Armstrong nodded in the rebound.
Redmond then increased the score to 2-0 one-on-one as Derby's defense was open. But Harry Wilson, a 21-year-old winger from Wales, led the return of the Derby. His cross flew in front of everyone and in the net in the 76th minute.
Another Wilson center six minutes later brought the Derby level, Waghorn pushing his head past Gunn to extend it.
After Derby's shootout win, Lampard led the visiting fans' songs and then arrived at his press conference to mock Bielsa.

"Ready for my presentation, everyone? We also do badyzes, "he said.
"I'm delighted for the team," added the former Chelsea midfielder. 'The working time they have set up, VAR opposes us a marginal call.
'Great courage of the guys, they were winners even before the penalties. It takes a lot to come back against a Premier League team. "
Hasenhuttl said, "It was useless to lose. We are outside. It's a pity. "
