The FA Cup fourth round thread

[TomPNE94]

Jealousy will destroy you.

Yeah, that's what they used to say

 

[Ciderhead]

What a result Bradford! And what a day! Probably the best FA Cup round of my lifetime, the amount of upsets. Only downside is it's bound to motivate the Hammers for tomorrow, they must fancy their chances to win the thing now, but hopefully we'll keep the trend going

Equally it could motivate our players after seeing 1, arguably 2*, bigger upsets already in this round as well as Cambridge getting a replay against man yoo


*depending on if you see Middlesbrough knocking out Man City bigger than us knocking out West Ham should we manage it

 

[Ciderhead]

True, either way should be a great cup tie. And thank fuck they've backtracked on the bubble machine, what an idiotic idea that was

 

[Bantered Out]

Awesome. Just amazing. Greatest result ever. Now I'm off out for a few beers

 

[Westbars_Spireite]

We played really well today actually. Congratulations Bradford City - incredible stuff.

 

[JonBCFC]

Awesome. Just amazing. Greatest result ever. Now I'm off out for a few beers

Enjoy mate.

 

[WolfOfWestStreet]

Jon Stead looked unplayable from the highlights 1 fantastic goal and 2 assists, love Steady and congrats to Bradford love seeing prem teams get a reality check and their glory hunting fans crying into their plastic flags.

 

[Robert Molenaar]

That was fantastic.

 

[TTOCS]

75% of MOTD viewers think Bradford's result today is the greatest FA cup upset ever. Absolute lies and very disrespectful towards Bradford.

 

[bantamigo]

Circumstance made it more of a shock. Think someone checked our odds at half time 2-1 down and we were 450-1 to win. To go and score 3 more goals without reply and basically boss them all second half was unreal and most definitely shocking

 

[Ciderhead]

Yeah if you'd said at the start of play Bradford to beat Chelsea, it's a huge shock but there's been bigger. But within the context of the game, to come from 2-0 down against a Mourinho side, doubling the amount of goals they've conceded at home all season, got to be the greatest ever

 

[JonBCFC]

Yeah, I'd say the fact that they came from 2-0 down to win would suggest it's one of the best FA cup games in history.

 

[Coalite]

Massive respect to Bradford. Thoroughly deserved victory judging by the MotD coverage.

 

[Bobbin']

I think it's easily one of the biggest cup upsets ever.

Given the current era and the millions and millions of pounds worth of players in the Chelsea side. The gulf between the Premier League/First Division and the rest of the football league has never been greater and throw in the fact they were 2-0 down. What Bradford did, away from home would have been unthinkable before yesterday.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Massive respect to Bradford to be honest, it literally is an 'unbelievable' result. Especially when you consider the Chelsea team was not weak by any means.

 

[Coalite]

God knows what the odds would have been at 2-0 down. A mate of mine had a tenner on them before ko at 25's.

 

[TTOCS]

Hows the hangover boys? If we can play half as well today then we have a chance v West Ham but still think they will do us 1-3. Valencia to be the key man.

 

[JonBCFC]

450-1 when they were 2-1 down at HT

 

[Indian Dan]

For my sins I've done a treble - City, Bornmuff to win and Brighton to draw

 

[Agombar stool]

Wanted to say well done to Bradford, I hope that you enjoyed your celebrations last night. Scenes at Stamford bridge!

 

[Agombar stool]

For my sins I've done a treble - City, Bornmuff to win and Brighton to draw

I think west ham, bornemouth and arsenal personally.

That's not to say I don't think City will give west ham a good game.

 

[Big Bird]

Can see a draw and Ham winning the replay.

 

[.V.]

Playing well so far, but have got to make our pressure count.

 

[TomPNE94]

I've done BC, Ballmouth and Arsenal -1

 

[Alex_BCFC]

Should be 1 up here but some decent goal line clearances by Wham.

BTW massive congratulations to Bradford...must have been amazing to be in that away end yesterday.

 

[TomPNE94]

Harsh on City but it has been coming.

 

[Big Bird]

Kevin Nolan is a shocking footballer.

 

[Indian Dan]

WHU were very poor - there for the taking really. City ran out of puff quite badly 2nd half.

Crappy game, though

 

[Matt_]

Massive congratulations to Bradford City.

A day those who were there are sure to never forget. A giant killing that will still be remembered 20, 30, 40 years from now as possibly the biggest FA Cup upset ever.

Long live the FA Cup for giving us days like this Saturday when the competition seemed to be losing some of its magic in recent years.
