Mikael Forssell hoists Robbie Savage over his shoulders
Birmingham City's on-loan striker Mikael Forssell gets to grips with team-mate Robbie Savage during City's 1-1 draw with Sunderland in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The Blues were unable to overcome their lower league opponents and so will replay the tie on Wednesday for a place in the quarter-finals.

But what is goalscorer Forssell up to in this photo?

Well according to this week's winner Mr Mark Sibley, Forrssell is saying this:

Contact lenses or no contact lenses, this long blonde haired beauty is all mine.

Nice one Mark, the goody bag is on the way.

Let us have your hilarious offerings and you could win a BBC Sport goody bag.

Next week's comp will be published on Monday.
