Right, Football. Sometimes a bit of a boring game to watch for an hour, and a half, but never-the-less it still accounts for about 50 % of the British news. Anyway - I decided to write this post because the unimaginable has happened. Welsh side Swansea are through to the Capitol One League Cup Final, and not only that, but they will be playing League 2 Bradford. A side that could win somebody a lot of money if they win (that is if anyway was mad enough to bet on them in the first place).
Crazy though I've been thinking because out of the seven teams expecting to make it to Europe (Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea, Everton, Arsenal & Liverpool). One of these now will have to miss out. I won't say which teams I think it is, because after all this is going viral, and to the vast extent of my knowledge - there is a lot of angry football fans out there!!
But back to Europe - if it's Swansea - Will this be the first time competitively that this Welsh side touches down on European soil since the 1991/2 UEFA Cup, or will it be Bradford!! A team who have only played in Europe, in a comptetion just once.
I'd like it to be Bradford personally. Not only because their English, but out the two teams they have to be the under dogs. Even though that the words from foreigner, and foreigner alike ring out in my ear, and they are Who is Bradford? Who the **** is Bradford?
Anyway in other Football news. In the Premier League - West Ham were Hammered, losing 5-1 to London rivals Arsenal. Newcastle have filled the gap left by Demba Ba (well I hope they have, for their sake) by signing Bordeaux Striker Yoan Gouffran, and one of the Championships hottest properties Crystal Palace Winger Wilfred Zaha looks set to be joining PL leaders Manchester United, with a medical expected to take place within the next 24 hours.
