Bradford City 0-5 Swansea City.

To continue the 'controversy' !

Most refer to this comp as the 'Tin pot cup' or other derogatory terms,
with the outlook that it is nothing more than a waste of time !
Be Honest,
How many of us would be Wembley bound today if it was 'our' team involved.

So this is a fixture that divides us on an emotional level,
Do we go for Bradford..The 'local' side representing West Yorkshire..
also the underdogs, Up against it at all levels,
or..
Does local rivalry make it impossible to wish them well, even to the extreme point of wanting the Team from South Wales to win !

I of course, along with perhaps 90% of us Locals will be cheering on the Bantams, hoping they can do the impossible and actually WIN

I think it is a nice touch, Carbone also wishing them well, & encouraging them to 'Show a Big Heart'..& passion. He describes it as the Biggest game of their lives, For the fans too, especially the young un's..They would have to look on it as maybe the biggest game Bradford will ever be involved with in their life time.
Respond they must, I'm sure they will.

As fans of other clubs... How would we respond to this statement by Chairman Rhodes of the Bantams !
He would rather win at Wembley this afternoon, rather than win Promotion up to League 1 .
How does that fit in with your outlook !
How would you feel if Hoyle or Bates had made that public .

Can Bradford win.
They'll be up against it for sure, But having already dispatched 3 premier league clubs... Wigan, Arsenal & Villa, & the game being a winner takes all scenario they surely have to go out with a 'smash & grab' attitude.

I hope they go out & give it their All, & don't get sucked into a 'technical' tactical encounter, Then I think they;ll come unstuck.
Yeah, lets have passion, recklessness & a care free Cavalier attitude,
All or nothing,
Fantastic. Make History today...
A bottom tier club competing in Europe next season...
Good Luck Bantams,
Enjoy YOUR day
