I forgot how much I dislike Neil Lennon

Why? What did he ever do?  Decent player, good manager, a nice bloke, and not a bad pudit.

Should we lose tomorrow today's events will keep the spotlight away from Lambert.  Not only that, he'll probably chalk off the Bradford debacle from his record using today's result in his defense.

BBC must be creaming themselves getting the cup back this year.

Not if Liverpool get to the final. Stevie Mee's last game.  On his birthday. It's what the nation wants...

I've been driving a lot today, listening to R5. Two things I heard nearly made me lose concentration. The first was Bradford's 4th goal (my shock at that resulted in me messing up a gear change on the Hagley Road). Then one of the commentators was going on about the above. I nearly puked.

The way he headbutted Shearer's foot was a disgrace.

I was in the away end at Bradford today due to my next door neighbour having a spare, absolutly cracking day out, their fans were fantastic and sung throughout the game. It made me realise what football is supposed to be like, kids were in tears people were walking around, wide eyed hands on head saying WTF happened there?

Even the female Police officer from Bradford was stood next to us with a Bradford badge on and singing along with all the songs, for the first time in years I enjoyed a day out at the football.

If even a club deserves a few good days it's Bradford.

every so often something happens in the game that reminds you why you fell in love with it in the first place. Stories like that are exactly it. So very sad that it is seldom we get to appreciate it now.

Yes, indeed, the supporters' dignified handling of that dreadful fire. Well done Bradford fans.

At half time Chelsea presented a cheque to a burns unit in Bradford for £25,000, it's 30 years years since the fire and there's a concerted effort by a lot of clubs to raise money for that specific hospital, £25,000 is a nice gesture by Chelsea and I'm sure their players do a lot for various charities but imagine the response it at half time if they said that every Chelsea player has donated £5,000 to top that fund up, a drop in the ocean.

Much as I wouldn't ordinarily pass up the chance to abuse Chelsea players, if they do it for one they'd be asked to do it for all.

To the tune of.... 'your havin a laf', they sang
Mourinho's right, your fans are shite
Mourinho's right, your fans are shite 

Simple but rather effective in a week when there was talk of pumping in crowd noise through the speakers at Stamford Bridge.

My default stance with Chelsea is dislike, but recognising I can be irrational at times. Thanks to Twitter, I've discovered  that Jeremy Vine, someone who personifies to me middle class patronising/twattishness makes Bradford's win even better.

And watching MOTD, Robbie Fowler looks like he should join Slimming World. As I should.

Just watched Bradford on motd. Superb. Fully warranted victory.

Let's hope Mr Lambert is still awake and watching. And Gabby is still awake watching the movement of their front players
