Dreadful game and further proof that the FA Cup is a dead duck.

Half empty stadium, two garbage teams getting this far, nobody on social media giving a damn or posting about it.

Villa's league attendance's are also weak.

The game right now is a clear demonstration of why it's a great competition. Rocking atmosphere in Bradford and a third tier minnow sticking it to top tier opposition.

It's the same for both teams. Sunderland have to suck it up buttercup or they will be out.

That's as certain a penalty as you'll ever see. Had to be a red too, referee totally bottled it.

A bit of a stretch to label Sunderland that. :pac:

Did he not get the ball?

Friend is no friend of Sunderland, always said when he refs them.

Fletcher should have buried it before the foul anyways.

I'd take a replay right now. God, we are such a pathetic team.

Jaysus O'Shea looks very weak at the back there. How's he been this season Paully?

Quite solid, IMO. Nothing fantastic or anything but he's been alright. Defense hasn't been much of an issue this year, it's more the fact we can't create anything or score goals.

Glad to hear it. But he needs to wake up and take charge at the back today. He's had a poor start - very tentative for the goal.

Yeah, I agree. Seems to be a problem with Sunderland in general today. Bradford have come out at 100mph and are getting stuck into them on every single 50/50. Sunderland don't seem to want to know.

Lovely goal by Stead.

Paully D

It had to be him of all people. Oh Lord Jesus Christ please strike me down now!

Johnson got away with doing that first half, criminal attempt at a clearance.

LuckyLloyd

To be fair, Bradford have been savage in terms of pressing and closing down Sunderland all over the pitch. Fierce determination. Pressure - it forces mistakes.

Paully D

I'll be amazed if Sunderland don't have a man sent off before the end.

Paully D

Credit to Bradford. By far the better team from minute 1 to 90, out fought and out played Sunderland all afternoon and clearly wanted it far more. Hopefully they get a nice draw in the next round and another trip to Wembley.

Super ****ing Bradford. Delighted

Paully D

QF Draw:

Liverpool v Blackburn
Bradford v Reading
Preston/Man United v Arsenal
Aston Villa v West Brom

Delighted for Bradford, but that draw just makes yesterdays defeat even more gutting as a Sunderland fan.

Paully D

Semi-final draw:

Bradford/Reading vs Arsenal
Aston Villa vs Liverpool/Blackburn

Delighted Arsenal and Liverpool avoided each other. As a neutral I'll be hoping both progress to the final.

I'd rather a Bradford v Blackburn final. Old school, all football league final.

Reading v Bradford replay at 8 pm on BBC One.

Good start to the game so far, end to end stuff.
