We've had worse opposition than Boro before in earlier rounds.  Is that attendance right, and if so when was the last time we had lower?  I don't pay too much attention to them but am thinking Simod cup

He was praised for giving the kids and fringe players a run in the last round.  Now we lose it's a stupid selection policy.

I said before the last game, I'm happy to give the kids a go but I'd like to have our stars available on the bench for if we need to change it. Even if we hadn't had a man sent off, it always looked like we would struggle if we went one behind. Boro, by contrast, have Downing and Assombalonga to being on.

I listen to all the local BBC cricket commentators and they are all provide decent honest and non partisan commentaries.

So why do local BBC football commentators come across as a bunch of c×××s?

Because football as a sport is indecent, dishonest and partisan, and it accordingly gets the commentators it deserves?

This.   It's a cup you can sneak up and win.   Bruce out.

11,197

Attendance?

starling murmuration, it was spectacular.

Love it but totally pissed off with Villa tonight!
Pedant alert, but Starling murmurations would be counted in hundreds, so it would be either 11,100 or 11,2000. Just saying.
