at home too. Winnable.

 

[Ashtonsmashton]

Never say Never

 

[bigbirdblade]

indeed

Never say Never

You just have, twice.

 

[Paulus]

Happy with that.

I was looking at the teams left in the competition and thinking that I don't fancy our chances against any of them. A home tie is excellent though. We just need to catch Southampton on an off-day. But with a semi final at stake I don't expect them to put out a weakened team.

 

[Paulus]

After Bournemouth were drawn at home I was resigned to us being the next team.

 

[WhiteHawk]

Toughest game we could have got after Chelsea. Sadly I think we'll get absolutely battered.

 

[Sothall_Blade]

Their fixtures before they play us are Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd in 8 days and then (disappointingly) Burnley.

Still. They could be knackered by the time they play us.

Hope they give us the battering that Villa, Fulham and West Ham gave us! This is a great draw.

 

[Woodwardfan]

They've won 9 out of the last 10 and by the time we play them they will have tailed off inevitably. One things for sure, their manager won't know much about us!

Nobody likes to visit BDTBL, let's hope it's driving wind and rain.

Our biggest threat as always in these big games will be the Premier League referee.

 

[WhiteHawk]

I'm not so sure. 2nd in the Prem and just beat Sunderland 8-0? They're a very good side!

What if you have to use the word never?

 

[SotonBlade]

My life is now officially not worth living for at least the next month or so

What if you never have to use it?

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Winnable?

who said the blades were a pessimistic bunch?

 

[IOM Blade]

What if you never have to use it?

Never have, never will.

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

Could have been worse, could have been Southampton away.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Exactly Grumps.......I can think of several questions re. the grunts where never is more than applicable

 

[metalblade]

I bet we don't lose 7-0 like a team not so far away when they last met Premiership opposition

 

[vorpal blade]

You don't ever have to use that word, not ever (which is what its short for I would have thought)

   Good draw
   All real banana skins but we have the best one on paper

   That'll do, more interesting than a premier league team or a home draw!

   Away but the lowest side left. Good draw.

   Trip to Sheffield. Could be worse.

   Who do we want in the semi-final?
   
   Strait off SaintsWeb within a couple of minutes of the draw. Didn't take them long to get their billy big boots on. Surprised really, maybe they've forgotten already that they were in League 1 not that long ago. I reckon we can do 'em. UTB​

I stand to be corrected mate, but they're two separate words with different emphasis

Good, let 'em sniff arrogantly, they'll know they're in for a fight once that whistle blows UTB

LOL I remember the last team who were booking hotels for the cup semi's before they had won the quarter final ............in fact before they had got to the quarter final, the bigger they come the harder they fall bring it on

 

[SotonBlade]

Could have been worse, could have been Southampton away.

I beg to differ

 

[blader]

Those comments aren't too bad, Paulus. Let's face it, I think we can forgive Southampton fans for being slightly confident going into this game! They're a fantastic side, my favourite to watch in the PL at the moment, and should wipe the floor with us in all honesty. No issues with confidence, I got annoyed last year when it was Forest and Charlton fans giving it big time. Very happy with this one, should be a full house, unlikely to take a Wednesday-style battering and you just never know. One thing we can all agree, it'll be better than the usual 'one coach and a car pool' sets of fans we're used to at Bramall Lane!

My oh my that's a great typo ...... love it

Yay I got quoted on another team's forum. Now I feel impotent.

Good night for chedders to grab a hat trick...
