Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kei te harikoa te kaiwhakahaere o Bradford a Phil Parkinson i te hokinga mai o tana kapa ki te tūranga o nga tangata o waho o te FA Cup i muri i tana kitenga i a raatau e pupuri ana i o raatau tumanako ki Wembley me te whaainga kore-whaainga ki a Reading i Valley Parade. Nā ngā mahi toa o te kapa Bantams i whai wāhi ai rātau ki ngā whiringa toa mō te wā tuatahi mai i te tau 1911, ahakoa te kaha o te whakataetae. Engari i muri i tana kitenga i a Gary Liddle e whakatata mai ana i roto i te tukinga nui i te wa i pa ai ia ki te rakau i te mutunga o te haurua tuatahi, i hiahia a Parkinson ki te whakaora i te hinengaro whakapae i awhina i a raatau ki te wikitoria i a Chelsea me Sunderland. Ka mihi atu a Phil Parkinson ki a Jose Mourinho i a Bradford e wiri ana i a Chelsea ki Stamford Bridge. Ko te kaiako a Parkinson e tukituki ana ki a Garath McCleary o Reading i te whakataetae FA Cup Quarter Final. Ka mea a Parkinson: 'Ka haere mātou ki reira mō te tukinga anō i te mea ko te hunga ngoikore, ā, ka whakatata atu mātou ki a ia i runga i te āhua pai nā te mea ko tā mātou tino pai ina mahi mātou i tērā. 'I wikitoria mātou i Stamford Bridge i kitea hei rā mō mātou nā te mea kāore tētahi i tūmanako kia haere mātou ki te tiki i tētahi hua. Na kei te ora tonu matou, kei te kaha tonu.' Ko te toenga ka tohu i te hokinga mai o Parkinson ki te karapu i puta ai ia 361 nga ahuatanga me te kaitakaro, a ka pootihia ko ratou tino kaitakawaenga o waenga i roto i te pooti ipurangi. Ka eke a Andrew Davies ki te pōro i te whāinga o te whiringa toa o te FA Cup Quarter Final i Valley Parade. 'Kei te tumanako ahau ki te hoki ki reira na te mea kaore au i tae ki reira i nga wa maha mai i taku wehenga,' ka tapiritia e Parkinson. 'He mea mārama kua pai ake ahau ki te haere i roto i engari te hākoritanga pai e whai ake nei ko te replay.' Ko Pavel Pogrebnyak rāua ko Oliver Norwood hoki i eke ki te pou mō Reading i te wawata ki te hanga i tō rātau ake hītori mā te eke ki te whā whakamutunga mō te wā tuatahi mai i te tau 1927. E mōhio ana hoki ngā tāngata a Steve Clarke kāore pea he tūponotanga pai ake i to rātau tukinga anō ki te whakataetae o te Rōpū Kotahi e whakaritea ana hei te wiki e whai ake nei i te Mane ki te Papa Whutupaoro o Madejski. Ko Pavel Pogrebnyak te upoko o te pōro ki runga...
