Yet you can be 100% certain in the run up to the Semi Final we'll get all the usual patronising guff from the BBC and ITV about 'the Sheffield United fans should make the most of the occasion because days like this don't come along too often for clubs like them.'

Well, actually, days like this DO come alomg fairly often for our club.

I hate national media types talking about my club, it makes my skin crawl. TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook has already said Man City have been handed a bye into the final. If us Blades keep listening to shite like that over the next month, we’ll end up believing it.

 

[1889]

I heard someone on the radio or telly, I can’t remember which, but they were talking about the game and they said ‘Sheffield United, haven’t been in an FA Cup semi final since, 2014’

I thought fucking hell, nine years, embarrassing

I heard that too and thought it offensive. But having reflected I am taking the view that the more of this the better as I am hoping that Man City will be the ones who end up believing it …

In only one of those were we a premiership team.
Verses Pigs
Good record over last 30 years.
Ironically we only appeared in one semi between 1936 and 1993.
1961 verses Leicester 3 matches to sort that one out ! We of course lost as we do and again we were not in the top division.

'Premier League Era' record. For a competition that's nothing to do with the PL. This is the FA Cup. Why should FA Cup records achieved before the re-naming of a different competition be irrelevant? Football didn't start, or even change much, in 1992.

Spot on BUT it makes our 'record' look good

Because if we look at it over a longer period of time our record doesn't look quite so good!!!

Yeah i thought that was obvious too

 

[varkanoid]

How many of the 5 did we win ? Its time for a change.

 

[HD8 Blades]

Ive had more semis than that this week alone

 

[Yewsman]

My son in law is Newcastle fan and went to Carabao cup final. First trip ever to Wembley or any "big game" like PO Final ever! Since 1993 We've had 4 semis (+1 to come) 2 semis in League Cup, 4 PO Finals. Not bad. If only we could win one of the big games!

 

[COME BACK CHED]

We even lost the Watney cup final on pens . But had a moment of Glory beating Barnsley 9 v 0 in the S and H county cup final ,Mind you i saw Man City beat Burton 9 v 0 in the leauge cup Semi .
