Last team to win a major cup from outside the top league.


Recommended Posts

Everything must come to an end and at least it would be another Yorkshire team doing it.

Plus can you imagine the stick Chelsea or Swansea would take if they lost in the final to league 2 side. Just a shame they would be robbed of playing in Europe if Chelsea win it.

I'd absolutely love City to win it. When the big nobs are dismissing these Cup competitions it always makes me laugh when they're scrambling about at the end of the season wondering why they haven't won 'owt.

It's sad to see so many Wednesday fans and Yorkshiremen so bothered about a meaningless record. I'm only an adopted Yorkshireman from Yorkshire stock but it's Bradford and Yorkshire all the way for me. testicles to Swansea and the Premier League.

 

Would you feel the same if it were the blunts or dirty leeds representing Yorkshire?

I'm easy either way. Bradford have had hard times and their fans have suffered greatly, admin X 2, relegation, being next door to Leeds, Bradford fire..

 

Swansea were the bottom of the Football league this time ten years ago. In those ten years they have rebuilt the club and gone from strength to strength (Hulley, Allen, Addy, Grierson etc should take note on how a football club should be run).

 

For me, they are both proper football clubs, as opposed to brands, with proper fans.

 

Goods luck to both of them.

No. I'd be cheering on Swansea against either of those pair. I have no ill feeling towards Bradford.

I'd probably even prefer Barnsley, Rotherham, Huddersfield and Donny to Swansea too.

You have to remember Swansea will be up for this, they will be creating history as they have never won a major trophy, this is their first cup final, even Bradford have won the cup 1911 i think.

League Cup runners up don't get a place in Europe, whoever wins it.

 

If Chelsea had progressed to the final and won it, the European place would go to the next best placed Premiership team.
