AFC Grumpledon v Taxbore Wanderers
This is a toughie for the Taxbores. Grumpledon are the current SSPA and Tosspot champions, they lead the Tosspot League and are second in the SSPA at the moment. Heady days for AFC then. However, their fans are growing ever restless at the amount of time Grumps spends in Thailand, and his ever-growing links with the vacant coach's job at Ting Tong City. In fact, while this game is being played, the AFC manager will be absent. So, can Wanderers feed on this unrest? A lot depends on striker Remy Martins, who has hinted at a return to form over the last few weeks. Torres is fighting against an ankle injury so may not be back in time for the weekend, leaving Laughing Glavesy's team lightweight up front. Looks like another Grumpledon victory to us here at the Blog.
Slinger's Ringers v Armitage Shankers
As if the Ringers weren't going to have an hard enough task as it was, the re-emergence of Shankers' Robin Van Persie in midweek will have sent shudders down Fritz's spine. The cup-holders travel to the Hun Stadt buoyant after a fine three weeks that has seen them go from wooden spoon contenders to European challengers, while the Ringers have slipped in the opposite direction. With the likes of Gerrard, Agbonlahor and Cahill on top form it is very hard to see any other result than a Shankers victory here.
Somerset Fruitcakes v Wandering Dog
Wandering Dog squeezed out a 6-5 victory away to Bruce's Bangers in their first ever cup game while the Fruitcakes got a bye. The Dogs will have got a taste for this cup malarkey now but there is not much to choose between the two teams positioned third and fourth in the SSPA. The Yak and Rooney hold the key for the home team while Captain Scott, with top scorer Robbie Keane suspended, will be looking to Nasty Nic Anelka for inspiration, not always a good place to look. Unless Wandering Dog's impressive defence can keep a number of clean sheets it looks like it will be the Fruitcakes taking their place in the semis.
Kings Road United v Unathletico Jillbao
This game looks like a mismatch on a grand scale. The current league leaders versus SSPA's own version of Casualty. In fact there are rumours that Jillbao will be changing their name to Holby City next season. Messrs Adeyabor and Lampard should finish this game off between them without any input from anyone else. Tevez and Cesc Fibreglass are the only hope for Jillbao but if Kings Road United don't win this one Bunny has promised to bear his arse outside the Griffin in Brentford. At the blog we're going for a win for Bunny to save us all an 'orrible sight.
