Seems that Captain Jack should have been called on Sunday, as clearly aliens had possessed the Boro players and stolen their…ahem…talent. That first goal against us, handball, definitely – however, that’s still no excuse for us not scoring at all!

Alves was (again) a disappointment – proven by the fact he was substituted at half time for Mido. Mido didn’t play that well, but I think we could have done with him in the first half in preference to Alves. Mind you, we could probably have done just as well with Dong-Gook.

At least we didn’t have to have Rio Ferdinand in goal. That was funny!

So now at least we can concentrate on the league – it’s still mathematically possible for Derby County to finish in the top 10, so we should have no bother. Unless we play a team from a lower division, of course.

Complete lack of passion and vision, a deserved final score : Middlesbrough 0 – 2 Cardiff City. Thankfully, Jimmy-Floyd didn’t score. That would have been the worst…

Unlucky Barnsley, after getting Liverpool in the last round, now have to cope with Chelsea!
