Thing is from this... Going forward why dont we get Igor or Tony to stand where Rooney was for the whole match (i.e. just out the way of the Goalkeeper), hassle the Defence / Midfield and see if they've got the guts to try and pass back to the Goalkeeper (i.e. Being a pass back from the opposition, our Striker cant be offside anyway)
Its like the bloke says at the end... All four matches will be on TV so the BBC probably havent cared about Bradford because of that and are thinking that fans can easily see them on BT Sport (Just dont think they're smart enough to realise its a subscription service)
If the choice was the other way around, BT Sport would have picked Villa v WBA instead of the Bradford match.
It was obviously the last match the TV companies were going to pick. It would have been different if Bradford were playing any PL club instead of Reading.
Still, I expect Bradford do better as a club out of being "snubbed" by the TV companies (but still getting the money) than they would have done if they were the top choice (ie drawn against Man Utd) and being patronised by Lawro. Also, the exact thing that makes this an unexciting draw for the TV companies makes it more likely they'll have another day out in Wembley.

Like Sheffield United last season :-(
Villa fans are idiots. But then I suppose there is only half a brain cell in total in Birmingham.
Hopefully it stays that way. The replay would be directly after the league game at the Valley.
How they going to get back to Blackburn so quickly?
Feel sorry for their fans. They will never make it back with all the problems at London Bridge!
Oh well, they're still in and will hopefully have one and a half eyes on the cup.
