'Allo 'Allo' Allo - come on you Boro.....

No prizes for guessing where West Midlands Police alliegiances lie over this weekend's FA Cup quarter finals.

All eyes will be up by the Riverside on Sunday afternoon, where Middlesbrough tackle Cardiff.

Because should Cardiff get through, that means their trip to Wolves - already moved to Sunday, April 6, for safety reasons, would again have to be re-arranged due to clashing with the semi finals.

And with all the problems associated with the fixture in recent years, and the authorities already having to police a midweek Black Country derby with Albion, another potential powder-keg is the last thing anyone would want.
