Bradford have shown that then shouldn't be taken lightly. They've already knocked out one team of a similar standard to Villa and one that's better.You are funnneeeeeee!We are as good as in the final!Pin that on the dressing room wall Bradford - this is what the Villa supporters think of you! That's the kind of thinking that simply weighs our players down Aftab. Of course we can win over two legs (we can beat anyone in my view) BUT only if we have the right attitude. If we don't, we'll get knocked out. This will be very tough and we'll need to be totally prepared (as it says on the badge) and up for it.

What division were tranmere in when we played them in 1994?
i say concentrate on our league form until the new year and when the time come s make sure we are 100% focused.
The main thing is for Lambert to ensure they are focused, keep their feet on the ground, treat them with respect and we will beat them. Anything short of that leaves us open to a humiliation at least in one of the legs.

And being supremely confident in beating a League 2 team over 2 legs is hardly idiotic.

In a final against either Chelsea or Swansea, I'd fancy Lambert to have a fucking good go at winning the tactical battle.Wembley under MON was great, but let's be honest, the way we set up to play the final and the semi final was no surprise to anyone - it was in no shape whatsoever different to how we'd played the previous tens of matches under him.

Quietly confident and focused is great. Being supremely confident is asking for trouble and putting unnecessary pressure on ourselves. We've a great young team and they'll be itching to get to Wembley but they need to be level headed and focused. This is a new experience for our lads too and it just might be possible that Bradford have some wise old pro's on their side who will be giving their all for one last shot of career glory. Level heads and the utmost respect for the opposition is what is required here.
