I think quite a few neutrals said the same about the 1999/2000 finalIndeed, has all the look of a death rattle for that competition.

It was rubbish, what we need are more Chelsea vs Liverpool finals, those are great and really paint the competition in a good light whilst ensuring none of these pesky little clubs get money or ideas above their station.

I watched the game because it interested me far more than an all Premier League game ever would. I thought it was really good that the final had been shaken up a bit.
Having said that I thought Bradford really did disappoint, they didn't even have any intention of having a go at any point in the game. They lost heavily despite their entire attitude being aimed at stopping them scoring. I'm quite sure their fans would have preferred to get totally hammered and at least show everyone they were going to have a go, they didn't even have a shot until 80 odd minutes
I just felt a bit disappointed for the Bradford fans who had not one moment of excitement in the entire game.
Oh and before someone makes the point, I do realise you are not being serious.
"Why are we doing this? Why do we spend gobs and gobs of money on ex-players and ex-coaches who can't ****ing talk?"
A lot of their fans seem to think the opposite. The seem to be saying that they were far too open against a team like Swansea and should have set up to defend. It struck me as like that, but they were just shit at attacking and just left huge holes. Either way, they were poor. Still more entertaining, as you said, though.
Why can't we have some token educated, witty wordsmiths? I don't care if Will Self loves or loathes football - get him on everything.
