It was Newcastle player Curtis Good on loan. Pardew gave verbal permission to play in cups but forms not filled in correctly. Awaiting verdict.

" Fabio is very quiet "

_abio had a ticket for the game.. but gave it up for the works xmas do tonight...

the problem is that a lot of people don't blame wenger... they now think he has his hands tied.. and are blaming kronke and especially gazidis and asking what has happened to all that money from the sales of fabregas, and nasri and van persie ect ect ect.....

its a tale of 2 billionaires at the moment at arsenal... 1 wont spend money, the other wants to, but the board don't want it....

This was Bradford! Walcott probably gets paid more than their whole first team! Money is no excuse a good manager would have picked and organised the team to win this one. Wenger I think has sadly lost it.

It's interesting to see the legacy of Bradford's win in that a club that has been in administration twice in the last 10 years now feels as a result of the money from the Arsenal game plus the money from the semi finals, they have now secured their future.

Quite an enlightening report on the BBC.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20692709

Bradford City director of operations Dave Baldwin believes that progressing to the semi-final of the Capital One Cup has safeguarded the club's financial future.

The Bantams pulled off one of the greatest shocks in League Cup history with a penalty shoot-out win over Arsenal on Tuesday.

"It has secured our long-term future," Baldwin told BBC Radio Leeds.

"Two televised ties will bring the club in an extra £1m in revenue."

He added to BBC Radio 5 live: "The game last night has made a massive impact on the club's deficit. Half of the overspend has gone in one game. Of course, it's only an estimate at this stage, but it's a massive boost for the financial position of the club."

Baldwin said the club, who are fourth in League Two, was projected to overspend on wages by £600,000 as they push for promotion to League One.

He estimated Tuesday's match, which was watched by the club's biggest gate since 1960, would earn £300,000.

The Bantams have twice been in administration in the past 10 years and only secured their Football League future in their penultimate home fixture of last season.

Baldwin is hopeful that the cup success will spur Phil Parkinson's men on to achieve a first promotion since Paul Jewell led the club to the Premier League in 1999.

"Our priority is getting out of this division," he continued.

"We have to make sure we achieve that because this is a team and a club on the up. We're on the crest of a wave and we're going to ride it out of this league."

Bradford are the first club from the fourth tier of English football to reach this stage of the League Cup since Wycombe were knocked out by Chelsea in the 2006-07 semi-finals.

They led Arsenal for much of the quarter-final after Garry Thompson volleyed them into a first-half lead, only for Thomas Vermaelen to head in a late equaliser and force extra time.

But the Belgium international then hit the post with the decisive penalty in the shoot-out to send Bradford through.

The win maintained the Bantams' unbeaten record in cup competitions this season, although they are appealing against their expulsion from the FA Cup on Wednesday after fielding an ineligible player in their second-round tie against Brentford.

The draw for the semi-finals takes place straight after the Leeds v Chelsea quarter-final next Wednesday. Along with Bradford, Aston Villa are already in the draw, with Swansea taking on Middlesbrough on Wednesday in the other quarter-final.

Bradford are reinstated into the FA Cup after successfully appealing against the inclusion of an illegible player in their second round match against Brentford.

Looks like quids in for Bradford at the moment.
