If we pip em to it again this season I really think he'll lose it big time, they'll end up finding him walking down a dual carriage way wearing nothing but his slippers muttering to himself! :w00t:

I fear I agree. However, taking the long view, Old BF has to go at some point. ('BF' can be construed in several ways ;)). The position of his successor will be very tricky indeed. It's the classic dilemma of dictatorship: how do you follow on from that?Quote:

His after match interview was surreal, mumbling, forgetful, angry and judging by the swollen eye he had, it looks like the hairdryer bounced off the wall, and smacked him in the face ! The pressure is on them, just like last season, will they crack ? I think they will.:w00t:

Great article by Neville..
"So where does he go now?
If you were a headhunter drawing up a short-list for managers next season and didn't know the history of the club, where would you look? The best in Spain?
Well Tito Vilanova's not going to leave Barcelona so you would have to look at Mourinho. But you've sacked him.
In England, you'll never get Sir Alex or Arsene Wenger and you'll never buy out Roberto Mancini at Manchester City.
So which manager is third in the league right now? Well, that's Benitez. You've already got him.
What about fourth? That's Villas-Boas. But you've sacked him.
Look to France and who is manager of their biggest club, Paris St Germain - a man with enormous pedigree in the game? Ancelotti. But you've sacked him.
Look further abroad then.
Who is manager of the most successful nation in football history, Brazil? Who has been entrusted with that nation's most important campaign, the 2014 World Cup, which they will host? That's Scolari.
But you've sacked him."

The order you play teams is random.. all that matters is the final points total... now we only have Arsenal away I think? so to be 5 points clear.. I'm happy..
But City have shown time and time again they aren't a newcastle.. but neither are we.. remember we got the 6-1 hammering and then did a run of wins to put us clear...
Can City hold on?
The dream's still alive....but it's going to be a long twenty minutes!
It was! But well done the Bantams!
Well done Bradford City
Next challenge - getting tickets! Come on you Bantams!Quote:

It seems only yesterday when we were trying to get out of the Championship and Leeds were one of the leading Premiership teams and they beat us 5 -2 with Huckerby sprinting through to set up the fifth.Quote:

A week later Bowyer and Woodgate went for a night out in Leeds ......
Blimey, that was a long time ago! So long, in fact, that the mighty Bantams were actually a Premiership side, as opposed to the giant-killers they've now become!Quote:

Just a shame it's not at Elland Road to increase the giant killing potential.:w00t:Quote:
