Bradford City,Sheffield United,and Cambridge have done the lower league proud with their Cup performances.Bradford put four past the mighty Chelsea,the Blades are in the League Cup semi-finals,and lowly Cambridge of League Two held Man United to a draw and a worthy replay at Old Trafford.
Watching these teams play made me jealous to be honest because I thought all three of them play as a team and never give in or let their heads drop and can play a bit too. Which begs the question:" why the hell can't we ? "

Was in the Bradford end at Villa Park for the LC semi when they went through on aggregate despite losing 2-1 on the night a couple of years ago. Was a great occasion and they also beat a couple of other Prem teams including Arsenal on the way too. They were near the bottom of L1 at the time but somehow managed to go up as well as getting to a major final. Must've been an unbelievable few months.

We can, we beat Manchester United a few years ago. But we did not get far enough this time around to meet anyone big.
