Congratulations Bradford

[AccyMad]

That's why I said they could be playing in Europe, if - and I know it's a big if - they can beat Chelsea in the final (that's supposing Chelsea beat Swansea tonight) - at least that's what the commentator on SSN said last night

Its always been that way cashy, since the restructuring of Europe around 1994/5 when they did away with the cup winners cup, the FA Cup is different a place in the Europa League has to go to the highest placed team that has not already qualified, this has gone to a beaten semi finalist once I think, The League Cup only the winners get a place, if they have already qualified the place goes to the highest placed team in the Premier League not qualified, there are 4 places in the Champions league 1 in the Europa league for 5th I think, then one each representing the cups

Heh, Bradford have won a trip to Wembley. That's the prize for their fans.
Any talk about next season's competitions in Eurineland is best left to football gossip merchants on TV.
Good luck to 'em.
