Hope it's Swansea

would be great for the cup to have those two in it rather than one of the bigger clubs

If Chelsea win tomorrow, win the Cup and finish top-4 in the Prem do Bradford not get a Europa League place?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think it's the FA cup where the runner-up would qualify. In your scenario I believe the next highest finisher in the EPL would qualify, not Bradford.

The Sporting Intelligence has a list of league minnows who've done well in cup competitions. I love the footnote about the Sri Lanka team.

Bizarre situation at Swansea. Hazard apparently kicks a ball boy and is sent off! Very strange. Listening to audio so I don't know exactly what happened, but the commentators aren't too sympathetic to Hazard.

So Chelsea down to 10 men, and two goals short.

WTF was that? Guy should get a 10 match ban for that, IMO.

Cantona got 8 months for his dropkick at Selhurst, and that was on a loud mouthed fan not a kid. Based on that Hazard should be done for a year.

stay classy Chelsea

Chelsea FC ‏@chelseafc
It’s all over: 0-0 (0-2 agg). A hugely disappointing performance topped by a bizarre red card. #CFC

Above video has been removed. How long did the ball boy smother the ball for?
Looks like he's trying to kill time.

Ball boy was being an immature prat, but you can't kick a kid. That is a total brain explosion.
I am a Chelsea fan and I agree that it is a red. Bizarre thing to happen, but has to be red.

If I were Chelsea I would be in full damage control, presenting Hazard with a fine and a set of community appearance obligations, like coaching clinics, to show his real character, and to show that this act was a brain explosion for which he is genuinely remorseful.

He was definitely trying to kill time. Probably for about 5 seconds.

Hazard is in the wrong here for sure, but I don't have much sympathy for the kid either.

I think 5 games is fair.
