Bradford to Qualify for the Europa League? Empty Bradford to Qualify for the Europa League?

Very possible for Bradford after last night if the draw and other results favour them. Let's just say, Middlesbrough upset Swansea tonight, and Chelsea beat Leeds next week. The 4 teams that would have qualified for the 2 leg Semi final would be: Chelsea, Middlesbrough, Bradford and Aston Villa. Then Chelsea get drawn against Villa and beat them. Bradford get drawn against Middlesbrough and force another upset over the 2 legs to get through to the final. The final would be Chelsea v Bradford and, assuming Chelsea finish in the Top 4 in the league, Bradford would qualify for the Europa League regardless of the result!

A fourth tier English team in the Europa League? Go on Bradford!

Duty, I don't think the EL spot goes to the runner-up if the winner is already qualified. Think it goes to the 6th/7th PL side.

It does go to the FA Cup runner up if the winner is qualified, though.

EDIT: But of course, they could win it!!!!!

Thanks Dave. I guess Bradford will just have to win the entire thing then - probably on penalties!

The best thing about Bradford's cup run is that they've been useless in the league since mid-December.

I've already said my well dones on the League 2 facebook page. Now it's another day and what's important for me is that Northampton are one point behind three teams (6th, 7th & 8th) including Bradford with a game in hand on all three. And a game in hand on 5th Exeter but 2 points back.

WELL DONE BRADFORD!!! All of the League 2 playoff chasers hope all your cup runs continue!

UP THE COBBLERS!!!!

Fair play to Bradford.

Your keeper did his job well as did the rest.

Not gonna write about how bad we were(done that on the Villa thread).

We're still in this and can turn it round, but we have to score first, even go a couple of goals up early.

If Bradford score first, then think its all over for us.

villa remain favourites, no one can doubt that. i was suprised when the reporter asked the bradford player that, last night. villa are about 70 places higher than bradford and unless the defecit was about 4 goals, they would remain favourites in such a high pressured, big staged, away game. however, bradford have an amazing chance to reach the final. no matter what happens they should use the money they receive from prize money, gate receipts, tv money to build a squad and get out the basement league (must be £2m atleast??)

congrats to bradford for the fantastic run, ill be cheering you on in the second leg, tempted to go, im not sure villa will sell out, anyone know?

Good luck Bradford. You have your cup run whilst in the league you slip into mid table mediocrity.

Thought the same thing, I'm sure some fans will say Bradford just parked the bus not I remember a premier league club doing the same against Barcelona last year.

Superb by Bradford over the two legs. Deserve so much credit and this must be like Christmas again for the fans. So much heartache of recent years with administration and relegations, hope they enjoy their day at Wembley.

Well done Bradford. clap May have rode their luck in the first half, but the second half was more even. Great header from Hanson. Wigan, Arsenal, and now Villa. Bradford are off to Wembley, one game from glory, one game from Europe!

If Chelsea get through against Swansea (barring some sort of miracle where Chelsea don't qualify for Europe) Bradford will be in Europe even if they lose the final!

"Good news Bradford fans, as if you needed some more. We've been getting some questions about whether the Bantams will qualify for Europe if they win at Wembley. The answer? A definitive yes.

They are, in fact, one win away from the third qualifying round of the Europa League. Incredible."

It would of been amazing for British football had won and it would of sent the nation buzzing.

However Swansea 100% deserved it, they played class and completely dominated it. They will do well in the Europa league next season and hopefully there club can get even bigger.

Word on the Bradford fans, outstanding. Credit to them all!
