Meanwhile, our team couldn't even win it for Stan. Enough said.

Nope, that still doesn't make me feel better.

It isn't meant to do anything to you, you miserable bugger. It is hoping the lad feels better.
I'm glad for him.

I don't give one single solitary fuck about being dumped by a fourth division side if it means that that child gets to live a full and happy life which is the right of every child everywhere.  I'm hurting like the rest of you, but the title of the thread says it all.  Thanks for posting.

Yes it was pathetic. I'll delete it.

These testing times can make us all think stupid things.

Absolutely, Football is just a game and our abstract misery is balanced by Bradford's abstract joy. 

The lad and his family along with all Bradford fans have endured hard times over recent times and deserve a great day out at Wembley, I will be supporting them on the day.

Agreed as well. On top of years of football misery there will be plenty of their supporters that were touched by that dreadful fire as well. If this gives them a lift then good luck to them I hope they win it.

It would be great for the club to do something special for the lad at Wembley, I hate seeing kids with such a terrible illness. Good luck to him and the team in the final.

Glad to see that both players have a kind side, good luck to Bradford and the two young lads mentioned in this thread.

That's a lovely story about the Bradford lad, it's something that he and his family will never forget.

Great gesture there by Darren.

Pleased for the lad. I'll be cheering them on in the final.

Yes this is much more important than a game of football. I hope this lad remembers a great night for him for next 70 plus years.

As a father myself I couldn't agree more.

I'm finding it very difficult to begrudge Bradford their day in the sun and this is another reason to be pleased for them. All the best to the lad, I hope they win it for him.

Really delighted for that Bradford lad. Glad he will have happy memories of Villa Park.
