Road to Wembley - Bring on the Boro

Middlesbrough disposed of Martin Singleton's Preston in the last round of the cup. He was supposed to do a report but is probably still sulking. So this is all you're going to get:

YAKUBU scored twice as Middlesbrough ended Preston's 25-match unbeaten run to reach the last eight of the FA Cup. The striker put Boro ahead with a ferocious left-foot strike early in the second half and then headed his second after Claude Davis failed to clear.

Preston dominated much of the match, with David Nugent and Patrick Agyemang both going close several times.

Preston's manager Billy Davies after the game: "I am disappointed but very proud of the performance. We will learn one or two things from the game and move on."

Preston team: Nash, Mears, Mawene, Davis, Hill, Sedgwick (Lewis Neal 67), McKenna, O'Neil (Dichio 68), Davidson, Agyemang (Lucketti 82), Nugent.
Subs Not Used: Hibbert, Ward.
Attendance: 19,877
MoM: Patrick Agyemang

So we now follow the Boro' and who are they playing next? Charlton, oh fuck.
