That this House notes that Bradford City FC is only the fifth team from the fourth tier of league football to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup; further notes that the Bantams beat Premier League Aston Villa, at the Coral Stadium, 3-1, with wonderful goals by young Nahki Wells from Bermuda, Rory McArdle and Carl McHugh; further notes that Matt Duke was Capital One Man of the Match after a fantastic performance in the Bradford goal; further notes that the whole team played magnificently with Big Jim Hanson leading the line and hitting the bar with a terrific header and Zavon Hines having a great game on the wing; wishes Phil Parkinson, the mastermind behind the team's amazing performances against three premiership sides in the League Cup, and Bradford City FC, every success in the second leg of the game at Villa Park; and looks forward to Bradford City FC becoming only the second fourth tier side in history ever to reach the League Cup Final.
