Chrisr, you're assuming that had we beat Boro we would have also drawn Oxford, when each draw is a complete lottery.
A draw last Saturday, followed by one of the big boys in round 5 before the replay, would probably have led to a repeat of the Yeovil curse.
Having said that, I bet the Boro fans are cock-a-hoop getting another home draw against lower opposition. I think Oxford will prove a tougher nut to crack.
One of the best 'David v Goliath' FA Cup draws ever.
Good luck to all the underdogs - and that includes Blackburn!
