Bradford
 
Anyone flying back... usually when you see once in a lifetime events like this, you get people flying back just for one game

Well done Bradford City for becoming for the first 4th division team to make a final in over 50 years. They're going to be the best supported club in the Country for a weekend.

This is what makes English football great.... this David and Goliath stuff... When David actually succeeds.

Seen something in the press a few days ago about a guy in Australia flying back if Bradford made the final.

Really is great for football Bradistan making the final. It will also set them up financially for a good while.

And can you imagine if they made it in to Europe :D

Good stuff, as you say, it's what make the domestic cups special :thumbup:

I hope Bradford FC will be remembered for achievements on the pitch rather than the sad events of 1985, something I remember vividly.

As a supporter of a Div 2 club (Gillingham) I hope they go all the way, I may even stay up and watch it live. :fingerscrossed:

Such a good view from the side to see Hazard kick the ball boy in the ribs. Obviously he really only kicked the ball but if that was a United player I accept that the player would get punished but be ok with him kicking a silly little boy. Kids today.

It's amazing that anyone would support Chelsea in this..... Possibly just as well as it would have resulted in chaos towards the end of games if other clubs followed Swanseas lead in allowing their ball boys to play for time. Not that will ever be able to be fully proven.

Re: Bradford
 
I heard the ball boy made a comment on twiiter before the game about looking to waste time in some way.

To be honest, I don't think there is much in this at all from a Chelsea point of view. Hazard got the ball back the same way I would. He'll get punished because it looked like assault though. Sadly, he'll be branded as a kiddy beater or something.

Don't care though, he'll be band and Rafa will be sacked soon.

Re: Bradford
 
6 months ago, Hazard was a pleasant young man. Now he's beating up kids. Clear proof in my mind that playing for Chelsea diseases your soul and turns you into a ******.

On a happier note - the final will be excellent. It'll be nice to see a league cup final between 2 teams who actually care about winning it!

I am not a football fan, but might have to support Swansea, only because OH is Welsh and that is his nearest "big" club.
