Swansea V Chelsea

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Cracking start to the game.
Bradford fans must be hoping for Chelsea, gives them more of a chance. Swansea are superb

 

[Weststander]

Cat n mouse so far.

A cliche, but the first goal will be critical.

Swansea's defence suddenly seems very loose and naive. They've rarely done that in PL games. Lost all defensive shape.


This is the de facto cup final. Bradford's PL conquests have been incredible, but one of these will rip them apart on Wembley's big pitch.

Pitch didn't cause too much of a problem for them against Villa last night...they are the same dimensions

75-25 posession. Aston Villa are especially pathetic. Matt Duke will be absolutely imperative.

But who cares? Bradford are the moral winners. What an achievement.

Bradford would prefer Chelsea to win i would of thought , gives them another avenue into europe even if they lose the final

Would that be a Bradford Park Avenue?

No it doesn't in the COC cup if the winner qualifies for the Europa it goes to the next team down in the league. They'll have to win it to get into the Europa.

Which is a shame it would be amazing to see a second division team in Europe.

What are bookies odds on Bradford lifting the LC?

You said a second division team. They are not a second division team though. It just happens to be called League 2.

I am sure that it was muted at the time that we were relegated from 1st Div after the Cup Final in 83 that EUFA were going to bring in a rule that to compete in a European competition team had to be in their own domestic top division but I am not sure it was ever made,. although I think it should have been.

Didn't Millwall play in Europe a few seasons ago when they where FA Cup final losers?

Yes and Birmingham last season ( or was it the season before?)

Oh yeah, I forgot about the brummies. They did play in Europe last year.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Ipswich also played in UEFA Cup as a second tier team.
