What a day...

Bradford turn into Brazil in the second half... to beat Chelsea.

A little curious why the price moved out to 500/1 just before Bradford's equalizer. Some eager layer who expects any goal to be a Chelsea one perhaps.

Middlesborough beat Man City at home.

Amazing stuff.

Goals are now up on the BBC website here:

Real quality goals from Bradford.
And good to see a postive reaction from Mourinho... congratulating Bradford himself and coming up with another great quote, "What happened is football and football is beautiful."

It just shows how much the FA Cup is really struggling as a competition. The top teams aren't taking it seriously.

No better example than when the BBC feel they have to keep running TV adverts reminding us how great the competition is, just in case we're changing our minds.

When the FA moved the kick off time to 5:00pm to extract a bit more cash, it showed how much they care about the tradition and it's fans.

I couldn't disagree more. You may be able to make a case for Man City not taking it seriously with their midweek friendly antics but anyone who knows football could see that Jose Mourinho was taking that match seriously and did everything he could not to be embarrased by Bradford.

Possibly the greatest giant killing in the competition's history and you demean the achievement by suggesting the top team's aren't taking it seriously? Give me a break.

...or maybe you are a Chelsea fan making excuses?

Nice story...

One crazy ACCA.

Clearly Betfair are not too worried about that punter... quite sure he'll give those 1000 GBP bets back pretty quick.

I've been considering writing a blog for a while....i used to be a odds compiler for a major UK book makers but made a career change after the 07/08 financial crisis put things in perspective about the financial world. I could use a template, here (http://www.1and1.com/website-templates)but I'd rather not. Does anyone know any website architects? I've bought a domain and found a host, so they'd have to be able to work with 1&1 software.

Muchas gracias amigos.
