Well done Swansea City.

[SirKit Breaker]

They were outstanding, and worth every bit of their 5-0 win. Its no good trying to take credit away from them because they only beat a league 2 team, they would have beaten anyone on Sunday. On the plus side for me and the other 33999 Bradford fans, we have had our day to remember, and there cant be many English teams who have out sung the Welsh like we did.

We will be back for the playoff final in May........

Cheers............Howard

I was praying Bradford would get at least a goal, but like you said you were well and truley beaten. The sending off that Duke recieved was extremley harsh - the referee completley got that decision wrong.

Great achievement for Bradford though, hats off to the whole squad and they deserve their Las Vegas break in the summer. Hope you had a great day Sirkit.

As for Swansea, can see them making a decent assault on europe next season - providing Laudrup stays with them. They play attractive football and will be a good punt to reach the Europa League Final. Michu an outstanding player.

I can assure you,there is and was the utmost respect for Bradford and their success in the league cup competition.because success is what they had and deserved,worthy runners up,rather than beaten finalists

There is no gloating from the Swans,because to a man we are very aware of how close we came not only tp probable relegation from the league (with almost the last kick of the last game)but to extinction as a club
Good tidings came from that day onward and some 10 years later,the Swans are doing well both on and off the field,that has got to be a big incentive to all clubs in the lower divisions

The sending off was unfortunate,but the referee has his hands tied,I heard an explanation on the radio, the rules and his own refereeing future made it an absolute certainty he acted the way he did

Micheal Laudrup will be targeted by the big names,but I can't see him leaving for at least one year,he has a good team,there is European football to come and players will be tempted to sign for Swansea

I listened to 5 live radio that evening and the comments by the Bradford fans who were on their way home, they were an absolute credit to what being a supporter means.these were real fans with a real club,not a rich mans playclub like so many nowadays
Well done to Bradford and may you concentrate now on the league and who knows,there are still many games to play and promotion is still possible

It is strange how things work out, i was talking to a few Swans fans on the tube up to Wembley,10 years ago Swansea were starting on their 10 year rise to the top, just as we started our 7 year slide to the bottom. If this game had have been held 10 years ago, we would have been the premiership team, and Swansea would have been in the 4th tier. We have passed along the way, and our league meetings overall are even, 20 wins each and 14 draws, but we have only met once in a cup competition.
