FA Cup QF Draw

Does make it more difficult but fuck me how many games have they been playing on that pitch?

Besides I somehow don't see Bradford buying into a 3G pitch.

Why not? It's started to be used quite a lot in the Scottish leagues and the FL vote about artificial pitches was only narrowly against implementation. The Conference and lower have already allowed them, IMO it's only a matter of time before the FL do as well.

BTW today was Bradford's 19th home game of the season.

Whatever the draw is today it will be the bin dippers in the final to give Stevie another medal.

This 100% ..said it to Liverpool fan on Saturday night that Liverpool's name is on the Cup , because the longer they remained in it the more they will get the media backing and certainly the FA backing to win it.. He wasn't impressed. If Arsenal do not win it I hope Bradford do to mark the 30th Anniversary of one of football's forgotten tragedies.

I'm with you on that point - the beauty and tradition of the cup is based on away day trip to the likes of bradford and the possibilities of cup upsets as big clubs struggle to adapt away from their plush home surroundings. Pitches dont win games for the likes of bradford.....effort and attitude do, so if our players matched a team like bradford in both of those traits then our class should be the deciding factor 8) Our problems down through the years have stemmed from an ability to adapt and roll up our sleeves and this team dont have the guts that former AFC teams did :(

Face it lads; barring the miracle of an honest FA and an honest referee, the dirty Mousers are going to Wemberley this year because it's Stevie Meeee's last year in Ingerland (until he returns from his MLS club next January on a dodgy deal to play a half season with Citeh or the chav$ and finally scrape that PL winners medal). :roll: :x

If we get Manure we are out. The mental block since the 8-2 rape-fest is still firmly in place for us. :roll:

Only victims fans seem to think he doesn't dive & cheat - Every other fucker on the planet knows he does.

I'd like to see Bradford get through to the semi-finals...so they get as much money/profit as they can

Us v mancscum in the Final would be sweet - we rip the CAANTS a new one....
