Will you be watching....

It is pretty amazing to think that this season, we've taken four points off Swansea, and in the match at Villa Park, we out, err, Brazilled them.

So Swansea are the best team in the premier league for holding a lead. Assuming we are the worst maybe its just as well we aren't playing them.

Hopefully, the spineless shower who couldn't beat a third division (or whatever its called) team over two legs and who cost the club another trophy to add to our list of honours are watching.
Its something they should dwell on in the years to come when they revert to their true level of lower division journeymen who could have had something to show if they actually possessed any knackers

Does the commentator have to mention Villa every three seconds? Did they beat Wigan and Arsenal on their way here or was that a dream?

I just came on here to post something very similar to that.

It's doing my head in.

They'd be mentioning Wigan or Arsenal if they'd scored 4 from set pieces against them in a semi.

Bradford are not looking much like the side that played us.

2-0 Swansea

They've been going on about the great atmosphere all day on Sky, sounds crap to me.  Then again half the crowd probably don't go regularly to games.

Bradford are losing? Well as much as I'd like to be grown up about this...good. They can fuck off with all the upstart nonsense they were dishing out after the semi.

They didn't in the second leg first half against us, either, in fact, until half time, it looked distinctly like men against boys - Bradford hardly got out of their own half.

What won it for them was our pathetic corner weakness, and the subsequent, equally predictable meltdown, combined with some mental tactics from Lambert.

All we needed to do was keep calm and do what we did in the first half, and we'd have done enough to get past them. Our response to their goal was pathetic, on every level you want to look at it.

For all that the entire nation is apparently pleased with the finalists, i'm willing to bet that the TV ratings will be the lowest for years.

Despite my measured and mature response earlier in this thread I must point out that having been exposed to the media build up all morning I got heartily pissed off with the whole fuckin' thing and am reading the Observer and watching a Who gig from 1975.

They've just finished "Uncle Ernie" with Keith singing (badly).

Bradford are a total embarrassment to the competition in this final, an utter disgrace.  They have been utterly terrible in the first half and thankfully their luck appears to have run out.  Living in Sheffield I was facing having to have wall to wall coverage on local news channels had they won, instead they will be struggling to fill 10 seconds of airtime with their highlights.  Why bother trying so hard to reach the final and then not bother having a go in the final.
