Well, the two teams that most people expected to go through from the League Cup semi finals (Chelsea and Aston Villa) look like going out and we are looking at a Bradford v Swansea final.

I hope though personally that its a Bradford v Swansea final, but that Bradford win it.

I'm glad also that Michael Laudrup is doing well at Swansea and has improved them even more from last season. Many in the media were expecting Laudrup to be one of the first managers to be sacked this season and that Swansea would struggle, but he has proved all his critics wrong. I expected him to do well because he's a good manager and has a proven track record with clubs similar to Swansea, which can be seen when he was successful during his managerial reigns at Getafe and Mallorca.

Swansea set to win the cup and they deserve credit for finding the right type of players at knock down prices

I hope swansea win it, they will be entertaining to watch in europe if they make it through the playoff

No doubt Bradford's fans will be at Wembley chanting "we all hate Leeds scum". All 200 of them.

Swansea will most likely win the League Cup and I agree with Fernandez that Swansea would be great to watch in Europe.

Swansea really have come a long way. I think it was like 12 years ago, they were in League 2 and look at them now, comfortably mid table in the Premier League, on the verge of winning a major trophy and next season if they win the League Cup they will be playing in the Europa League.

Swansea are definitely showing that anything is possible in football if the club is properly organised and managed well.

12 years from now your lot will be comfortably mid-table in League 2 and saying "I remember when we were in the same league as Swansea, those were the days pet".

I heard their manager talking of the great support base they had... Yeah, sure the great support that follows them all around the country, like the 274 they brought to Aldershot Town only 2 months ago...

Don't worry.

On a scale from 1 to Leeds, we are not that bad yet

Exactly. They're a fucking joke, far more lower league clubs more deserving than that shower. I might have had some respect for them if they had beaten any big clubs to get to this stage, but they haven't.
