Villa vs Bradford

Awesome result and performance. I'm 42 now but I still get giddy as fuck when it comes to underdogs upsetting the odds (apart from when we're on the receiving end of course).

Be interesting to know the last time a team from the 4th tier got to a major cup final - I'm guessing it was in the early years of the league cup when not all the top teams entered it.

Where's bcfc gazza these days? Was always a good poster on here and I hope he was there tonight to witness that.

Not sure if mentioned already but if Chelsea go through, does that mean Bratford will be in Europe?

No, only losing fa cup finalists qualify for Europe if the winner has already qualified

Rochdale are the last in the league cup in its early years

Per twitter: Bradford city squad compiled at spend of £15k. Average wage of £750-a-week. League Cup Finalists. Heroes.

Is it possible that they are on 750 per week only? Looks nothing even for League 2.

Just got a text off a mate (Bratfud fan) who's at game which said

"fanbloodytastic! just like last match of season for you. feels the same i tell yer!"

Brilliant. Absolutely delighted for my mate and for the club. Great achievement.

Bradford have beaten more PL sides this season than QPR.

You can't argue with that.

A random fact Bradford have been in Europe before even though it was the Intertoto Cup.

Thanks for that! I was on Villa Talk before they shut everyone out. Epic meltdown.

That was Man City 10 years ago. No self-belief and feeling sorry for ourselves

Leaving with 5 minutes to go? Unthinkable now for Man City fans, but then we know what can happen when you need 2 goals in the last 5 minutes. It can and does happen

You need the experience of doing it, to believe in it. And to do it you have to believe you can do it. Chicken and egg

Would be amazing if Bradford won it. They could as the pressure will be on Swansea/Chelsea and Bradford can just enjoy the occasion.

Villa fan i used to work with just text me.
They owe me 10 days at work, im fucking off abroad tomorrow anywhere, first flight out of Brum to anywhere slightly warm.
He now works with a load of Brummie Blues, bet hes suicidal.

It looked as though Villa were going to do it, up until Bradford scored.

After the equaliser, the Bantams came more into the game and I was convinced that there was no way they were going to miss out on Wembley.

I'm pleased for Bradford, as they have had a S**t time of it for about ten years.

I'm also delighted for one of my best mates at work, who is a dyed-in-the-wool Bradford supporter.

Any bets on Aston Villa to drop down to League 1 in a couple of years?

That's a decent average wage these days in league 2. There are some players on 15-18k per year. The economics of lower league football just don't stack up these days.
