Anyhow unless they've changed the rules you have to win this cup to qualify for Europe. Runners up get nowt.

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.....

No we wouldn't. Because Boro qualified as winners.

Ok good point. But had Boro qualified for Europe via the league, we'd have not qualified for Europe as runners up. It would have gone to a further league place.

As will happen I believe should Chelsea (assuming they stay in a league european place) for example, beat Bradford in the final........

[CrazyHorse]

Yeah, I think you're right about that.
I'm fancying Bradford to lift the trophy now.
Plus how funny would it be to see Liverpool finish 7th and then cry about how it's not fair that they're not in Europe, even going so far as to attempt a rule change to get themselves reinstated.

They'd never do that. Don't be silly.


On topic, really "well done Bradford".

Takes you back, doesn't it !!

Is being beaten by a league two side over two legs worse than not turning up to a wembley semi and being humped 5-0? i.e have we now.lost our 'most emberassing semi final defeat' title?

Yes.

Yep. Utterly humiliating.

And whats more embarrassing is that Bradford could and arguably should have won on the night again at Villa park.

Hit the bar and missed an "almost but not quite" sitter in the second half.

Villa were absymal after half time.

Yes.

No .... never will happen.

Especially when, as I do, you know a lot of Stokies !!

Is that what they call themselves? I thought it was Potters or some such - but that might be Burton.

The football club's nickname is "The Potters" .... but the people of Stoke are referred to, and refer to themselves, as "Stokies".

how ver.. ver.. ver.. very unoriginal.

[officer_dibble]

Its given me sympathy for villa fans I must say. Worst footballing experience of my life.

[BWFC_Insane]

Apparently Villa were selling half season tickets with a "buy a half season ticket for a guaranteed ticket for Wembley and the League cup final".

Wonder which end there'll be sitting in? Swanseas or Bradfords?

[Annoyed Grunt]

Arsenal 4-1 West Ham.

This Swansea v Chelsea game is shite...

[ChrisC]

Last 20 minutes should be interesting.. Chelsea will have to go for it shit or bust!

[BWFC_Insane]

Sent off for kicking the ball boy.

Should be a long ban for that. Disgraceful.

[jaffka]

Eden Hazard sent off for kicking a ball boy

[Harry Genshaw]

Just seen a brief highlight of that. did the ballboy jump on the ball to stop him getting it back quickly?

Dan Potts off to hospital in a neck brace. Treated on the ground for seven minutes, he way.

Hope the lad is ok.

heard that on t'radio driving home... stupid things commentators say: "yeah, I played with his dad - gentleman of the game. If Dan has half the heart his dad had, then I can tell you he'll be ok."
