Over two legs I'll put us up against any team left. Including Chelsea. Let's be honest, they've got higher targets as a club right now and they'll likely rotate a lot more than we might, and frankly they're not as good defensively as they once were. Their midfield is excellent but they have issues up front. I guess we'll find out more this weekend.

Chelsea have put an extremely strong side out tonight at Leeds with cech, Torres , mata, luiz,lampard ,Oscar and  several other 1st team players , Leeds have left out paddy kenny for the reserve keeper , surprised how strong Chelsea have gone tonight.

I can't believe anyone wouldn't want Bradford! I really think we'll get Swansea though

I hope it is a draw tonight. Followed by extra-time and penalties. Then Leeds to win.

Good. They'll hopefully  be knackered when they play us on Sunday.

I really want to avoid Chelsea in the semis if they get there- I think we would have more chance of beating them in a one off neutral game than over two legs.

Chelsea or Leeds. Can't stand another final playing against 12 men.

This is not a hard queston, is it? We want...Bradford-away in the first leg. We'd hate..Chelsea-away in the 2nd leg.  We are most likely to get...Swansea-standing the best chance if we are at home in the 2nd leg. Gotta say, it feels like Swansea have fate on their side for their first final.

Well, Leeds are really shit, then. And any hopes that Chelsea will feel sluggish on Sunday look unfounded. Game(s) on, Villa!
