• We'll bore them into a comatose state then Davis will bobble one into their net for the win off a Hutton hoof from inside our box. That is if Bruce doesn't tell everyone how well plucky Bristol City are doing considering how small and lowly they are.

  Brizzle will be deflated after yesterday, we'll be inflated.
  

  Sounds like a battle of the beach balls. Let’s take them on at Weston.

• I'd go with;
  
  Johnstone
  
  Hutton
  Terry (if fit) or Elphick if not (but on the right)
  Chester
  Elmo
  
  Jedinak
  
  Hourihane
  Grealish (both in the far more advanced positions they had second half against Boro)
  
  Adomah
  Snodgrass both wide
  
  RHM up top.
  
  Murphy has that pace and mobility and I think he'd cause Baker no end of grief.

  If my memory serves *hollow laugh*  when we were on a good cup run in the 50s, might have even been the year we won it we played Sheffield United, Middleborough and Bristol City in succession.  The Meaning Evil published a song sheet to be sung to the tune of Tipperary that went "goodbye Bristol City, farewell Middleborough" except we were expected to pronounce Middleborough Middlesbro to rhyme with "long way to go to Wembley, a long way to go".  Needless to say only the nerks sang it.
  

  
  Did you spend some time inside with Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale?
