    Big congrats to Newport for beating Boro tonight - playing Man City probably means end of the road for them but a great reward for their efforts, & being at home, you never know... likely to be between them & Wimbledon as being the overachievers for the year.

    Unsurprisingly we've got Wolves, though again kudos to Shrewsbury for coming so close to a great upset. Wolves really ought to be going all out for the Cup now - they're nice & secure in the League without realistically being able to reach the top 4 but have a realistic chance to make history by winning this. That said, any lapse on their part & we can hurt them. Quite an interesting tie...

    They won’t be comfortable coming here in the form we are in.
    Winnable.

    He can’t play him, as he’s already played in the FA cup for Newport so he’s cup tied.

    Great win by Newport and now we wait for Wolves to visit Ashton Gate. I think our next opponents in the FA Cup have equipped themselves well for the Premier League and will certainly be no pushovers, even given our recent form. I agree it is a winnable game but we will need to be at our best to get in the meat and potatoes part of the tournament where anything and everything is possible. Looking forward to the next tie and just hope the full game is on the telly.

    Thanks for the info Red Squid but unfortunately I can't get it on the system we have down here in the Canary Islands but hopefully some local pub might offer it for me to see. Come on you reds.
