Mowbray and Boro are the perfect opposition for us. They play nice football (which is why it's a good place for Josh) and that means they're less likely to park the bus or simply kick the shit out of our players. I reckon we'll beat them 3-0 or 3-1.

Ended 2-0.

Just checked, 2-0 was the score in the home game against Boro that season with Kalou scoring both.

And like I remembered, away was 0-5 with the Belletti screamer. Kalou scored two goals that day as well.

Match reports for both games:

Well we're out

What a pathetic attitude to take before a cup game. Anyone can win on the day and we've shown we can give United a damn good game already this season.

Isn't this the point of football? To see the best players go up against one another?

I assume in his contract we included a clause where he is inelegible to play against us.

Standard clause IIRC - if the opposition wants to field the player, they have to get approval from CFC and the FA/EPL

It's to do with match fixing etc...

Oh ok. I new one of the rules was a team cannot field a player from the parent club if they are in the same league, but thought they had to have that clause in thier contract if they were in a lower league...

So the answer will be, that he won't play.

Thanks. :)
