Does it go to extra time? If you can hold it to penalties you should be through. As a Leeds fan I never thought I'd say this but come on Bradford

Probably my happiest moment as a Bradford fan!...over the moon!!!  :beer2: :2thumbsup:

Surpasses, Wembley promotion  in 1996... beating Everton with a Chris Waddle wonder goal in the FA cup in 1997...getting promoted at Wolves in 1999...beating Liverpool to stay up in 2000......

12 years of hard times since relegation from the premiership, well overdue some good luck and Wembley will be an amazing occasion for everyone associated with the club!!!

Will someone please tell me this isn`t so:-  Chelsea beat Swansea by loads;Chelsea beat City; Chelsea qualify for Europe through the league; City are in the Europa Cup.

It's not so. Only the winners qualify for Europe, regardless of where Chelsea finish in the league...

I'd happily give back that point in return for all the others we've chucked away in injury time this season. Doesn't come anyway near to redressing the balance!

Well done Bradford. Quite a story.

It was always too good to be true. I wonder which meek team stands to inherit the Europa Cup in my scenario.

I belatedly read the redistribution rules on Wikipedia which seem suggest that the dream may still be alive.

This was also my understanding, and is /is to be applied to the FA Cup as well.

[Remember how the PL was going to aid "England", "English Football", and  "The FA".]

Not seen that for ages. Quality. I love the way he falls off in a sort of slow motion commando roll.

Never seen that, brilliant.  Great reading in the papers today, villa described as muppets, woeful, abject.  I've been saying it for years...
Just seen Waddle in a local caff too looking like he might have been enjoying his old club's performance last night.

 Hmmm.

I wonder why Wenger has come to this conclusion?

Fascinating FT article on Wenger / Arsenal's economic policy and why it hasn't worked:

Mo matter how long I stare the answer won't come.  For some reason I suspect it's not for good reasons.
