    Bradford! Good luck to the underdogs, a potential upset bigger than us in 73

    Don't see it happening but would love to see Bradford win also. Just hope they put up a decent performance, don't freeze, enjoy the day.

    Outside of the urban Swansea area, I cant see another football fan on the planet wanting anything other than a Bradford win today.

    I cant imagine any other cup final in recent memory where one club, the clear underdogs, will be as supported or wished success upon from 100% of the supporting public outside of the opposing clubs catchment area.

    A very unique day for football. England v Wales or just a brilliant David v Goliath sporting occasion? Swansea are no Leeds Utd of the 70's by a country mile but they are a top 10 EPL club currently and Bradford are 3 divisions below them, so its a major scalp if they win. Its still not as big a scalp as the 73 win imo, as Leeds were one of the dominant clubs in Europe at the time and at their absolute peak with 7 or 8 world class, international players on the day.

    My heart say YES! My head says NO!

    Football is a game of the heart so come on Bradford, make history today.

    In terms of league position it would be the biggest gap surely?

    Not too bothered who wins as long as it's a decent game and not a walkover for Swansea.
    Quick question for the more knowledgeable amongst if Bradford do win will they get the Euro cup place or will it go to a PL team?
    Seem to remember this happening a few years ago not sure when (or if) it did mind so could be wrong.

    I'd like to see the minnows win but I wouldn't complain one moment if Swansea win the cup because as a club they deserve to achieve something based upon their commitment to playing football. They arn't no Barcelona but they are doing things the right way and making good progress.

    5,000! That is nothing short of absolutely appalling. Especially considering their position 10 years ago. Biggest game in the clubs history. Hope Bradford win it on that alone. Oh and that some of their fans on here are for no reason so so confrontational and so far up themselves you would have thought they were Real Madrid.

    I can't find anything on it after a quick search. Si I am unsure of the truth in it. Marcus, can you back it up.

    1-0 Swansea.

    If we had won yesterday the bets would have been a lot higher.
    But I thought buying a small amount of £s, no matter what was worth it, rather than just hoping for a Swans win.

    Great stop by the keeper and the bloody defender is ball watching silly sod.
