Bradford Take A Bow

Now that´s what the Cup´s all about
When a club who´re not in with a shout,
Go right to the top
While bigger boys flop
And leave their fans all in a pout

So up in West Yorkshire today
Hearty congrats must go their way,
For while Villa sobs
Those Bradford odd bods
Deserve their Wembley day I´d say

And where does that leave Lambert P
As those fans who with so much glee,
Were laudíng him when
He joined them back then
Are losing faith in him quickly

And also should Chelsea win through
To the final spot number two,
Then Bradford next year
Could quite well appear
In Europe, whatever they do

So on that late February day
When this jolly Final they play,
This royalbarclayman
Will be a Bantams fan
To see one more `Roy of the Rovers´ fray.

 

Hi RBF, what a glorious day for ALL football fans apart from the Villa faithful, that's what cup matches are all about!

 

Exactly dave - took me back 50 years, wonderful stuff and totally deserved over the two games.

 

I'll bet these sentiments are not expressed if we lose to Luton on Saturday

 

Actually Thai, if Luton can pull off a shock, and it´s not impossible, then good luck to ´em, that´s what Cup football´s for, the minnow´s one day in the limelight, and incidentally why it´s not being shown live on the box, god knows, it´s the least they deserve.

 

okay, let me rephrase it - I WON'T be echoing the same sentiments

 

Also, let's face it, Luton are not minnows. It's not that long since they were in the top league and I believe they have also won the Cup? But, yes, on current positions, it would be a major upset.

 

Hi RBF bor, that poetic effort surpasses your previous rhythmic achievements, absolutely "bootiful." Will the Villa fans be applauding him if he fails to maintain their Premier status, no-way. I'm not bothered, he is just became another name on our list of managers, along with Tom Parker and Cyril Spiers etc, when the the club and Lambert decided to settle their legal wrangle out of court.

Regards to Rex, how is he ?

 

Hello NORKIE,

All´s well here in the snow-covered land
Where football for now takes a break,
Rex is helping to be my right hand
When out walking there in my wake,
Ten months and growing he´s looking a treat
As German Shepherds often do,
Vigilant and watchful when on his beat
And loyal and faithful and true.

 

Ah, well that´s quite different the only thing I´ll be concerned about if we lose, is those idiot fans who´ll suddenly be up calling for Hughton´s head, because we know there´ll be some, there always are.
