But, Bradford in Europe?
Why ever not? They'll have earned the right. Imagine what it'd mean for the fans? Brilliant stuff.

Anyway, Villa's balls into the box seem to be very anxious. Hope they stay that way :D
Fantastic stuff for the fans......similar to us being there......but, Bradford.......

Yes, Bradford. A club that I've seen us play tens of times in league fixtures, many at Valley Parade, both pre and post fire.

Let me ask - why NOT Bradford? :conf:

Not too sure to be honest....teams like Bradford aren't "supposed" to get there.

But isn't this what football was supposed to be? The little 'un, upsetting the apple cart, defying all the odds, and getting the glory not because they're loaded, but because they played bloody well?

Just the FA Cup runners up that would get a possible Europa Cup spot then?

Yep. Otherwise we'd have qualified for Europe when we lost to Boro, we didn't.....

And did you see that cunningly disguised back-pass to the keeper earlier? No shortage of skill there ;)

Just before that went in, there was a moment that just had "Lambert's team" all over it.

Player was injured, so Bradford player put the ball out inside Villa's half. Villa threw it back in and the player, rather than playing it back to their keeper, knocked it right into the corner for a throw. Everton-esque.

Cvnts.. Go on Bradford
