Bradford going to wembley!!

Bradford vs swansea city....the final



Robbie Savage -

"Swansea are showing Bradford the utmost respect, they are not taking the mickey, they are still trying to get another goal and fair play to both sides. They have both worked hard but at the end of the day Bradford have been outclassed."

This pretty much somes up the wembley match that took place on 24th february. The match being  the most one-sided final in Wembley’s history. Swansea City are the most emphatic winners of a major domestic cup competition since Bury defeated Derby County 6-0 at Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final in 1903. 

Bradford City were out of their class from the start. It was a pity, certainly for their fans, who waving their flags in a forlorn gesture of defiance for much of the second half. The odds conspired and continued mounting up against the fourth-tier team.

As if this was not enough,  Bradford goalkeeper Matt Duke was sent off in the 56th minute — correctly — for a foul on Jonathan de Guzman, whose resulting  penalty took Swansea’s lead to 4-0.

Not that it made much difference. Bradford were as ineffectual with 11 players as with 10, indeed their only shot of the game, on 87 minutes.

This was Swansea’s first major trophy in 101 years and the first to be won by a Welsh club since  Cardiff City defeated Arsenal in the 1927 FA Cup final.

I believe even though bradford lost the final they deserve alot of credit for getting there as they worked hard so we will see next year how far they will go.
