Re: Bradford
Cracking, I'd back them to beat Swansea if they beat Chelsea.

Re: Bradford
Everyone doubted them against Wigan Athletic.
Everyone doubted them against a strong Arsenal team.
Then everyone doubted them against a strong Aston Villa team.
I'll be putting a fiver on them to beat Swansea, they wouldn't beat Chelsea though.

Re: Bradford
I'd still expect Swansea to tear them apart with their pace and passing, remember Swansea have done that to much better teams this season
I can't tell which way it will swing in the final, will they step up the occasion and have the game of their lives or will they complete choke under the occasion.
Even under scenario 1 I can't see them winning and if scenario 2 happens it will be 8-0 or something.
There is a guarantee of Europe next season, just can't see Chelsea or Swansea passing up that opportunity.

Re: Bradfud
Fair play to them seeing it through last night - I think Swansea will go through tonight and will comfortably win the final, but you never know.

Re: Bradford
There's a point. Lets say Chelsea turn it round and get past Swansea, Chelsea are realistically making the Champions League...this outcome, even if Chelsea batter Bradford, would put Bradford in next season's Europa League wouldn't it?!

Re: Bradford
as Spyman says.
Winner gets Europe, if the winner qualifies for Europe through other means then the place goes to the next finisher in the Premier League.

Re: Bradford
Ah right, missed that. Has that just come in or was it just the FA Cup where a non European qualifier being runner up to a team that qualify for the CL gets you into the Europa?

It's worth a fiver since the odds will be astronomical, but they have almost the same chance against Swansea as they have against Chelsea.AndyPark wrote:Everyone doubted them against Wigan Athletic.

Your own logic doesn't make any sense either: you think Bradford will win because they've beaten all these big teams, but you think they will win against a team who have beaten Chelsea, yet they won't beat Chelsea. Are we basing it on the quality of the sides on paper here or not?

If Chelsea or Swansea win the League Cup and go on to qualify through the League, then it does goto 6th or 7th in the Prem, i am not sure how many UEFA places we get after the Champions League...
I really wish Bradford all the best, it is a hell of a story, I cannot remember in my lifetime anything like it, and probably won't for the next 50 years...
People talk about the romance of stories like this, I personally think that is bollocks, but if there is/was such a romance, I imagine this would be close to it...Should make for a decent enough for neutral football supporters

I just think Chelsea's team is miles better than Arsenal's and they quality would show, should they even overturn the 2-0 loss from the first leg.DarloOnTheUp wrote:It's worth a fiver since the odds will be astronomical, but they have almost the same chance against Swansea as they have against Chelsea.

Re: Bradfud
G.R told me (in front of others) that a certain Darlo star striker missed a very important goal chance at the wembley play off final - on purpose!
It all seems so long ago.

Re: Bradfud
Do the League Cup winners qualify automatically for the Europa League or do they have to enter at the qualifying stages?
