For those going to Wembley..

[Harry's Game]

Speaking as someone who isn't going to the semi final, I haven't been to any of the cup games so it would be cynical of me to go to this one, I just wonder what you are hoping or expecting to see?

Looking at the last three games we seem to be running on empty and were pretty much swatted aside by a Wolves team who would struggle to get much above mid table in the Championship, so I cannot see from any angle how we are going to get a result against a decent Premier League side at a neutral venue.

Four or five weeks ago and at the Lane we might have had an outside chance of upsetting them, but all I can see on the day is it being how many up for Hull.

It really is going to be the dictionary definition of "just going for the day out" I hope everyone enjoys it.

Remind me what you were kicked off Bladesmad for? Was it for being more negative than Len?

 

[sheffielder]

I am going to enjoy the weekend, whatever happens. You can handle the occasion whichever way you like.

 

[Hartley Hare]

I can assure you of one thing Harry, of the 737 clubs which entered this years competition 733 would rather be where we are.

If the season ended now, it would go down as a good 'un.

With better to come.

I'm hoping to see a goal scored. Preferably to us.

 

[highpeakblade]

We are by far the underdogs and nobody will have any expectancies of us so I just want to see us go there and enjoy it in the same way that we have done in parts against Aston Villa, Fulham, Forest and Charlton.

If we don't get owt from it then oh well thanks anyway for the entertainment they have already exceeded expectations.

But I want the players who enjoy it and have a go at them and give an account of themselves.

I've got a few Prozac left if you want a couple?

 

[boo radley]

I will admire the courage of your conviction on one point only when you do not attend with us in the final. You may not be enjoying this moment and time but excuse the rest of us while we step over you with smiles on our faces.

But not too much eh? Be interested in your posts per day in the last few weeks and last 24 hours

Its 11 v 11 on the day, anything can happen, I hope to win the lotto one day, but I don't realistically expect to, should I stop buying tickets?
You have a reasonable history compared to ourselves (until recently), and will still be seen by the older generation of City fans as a "decent scalp", I hope we don't take you lightly, but if we do then you're more than capable of causing an "upset".

 

[sitwell]

Curtis Davis is the main man at Hull apparently ,wont bother us because we don't play with forwards so youre fucked

Over to Swiss to top that lot........

I fully expect to see Wolves challenging for promotion to the premier league next season and the nucleus of their side will be as it is at the moment.

 

[Caveblade]

I was talking to a Dull City supporting friend last night who in all seriousness said "we aren't going to the semi, we are saving ourselves for the final" the conversation then proceeded to how because they would be playing the Arse in the final they were heading for Europe.

The disrespect to Wigan and the Blades is amazing, here's hoping for a Blades v Wigan Final.

The semi is a one of game between two teams, anything could happen. I am going, I will enjoy the day, and for once there is no pressure on United as no one expects us to prevail, however unlike Harry, I always have belief in the Blades.

Villa,Fulham, Forest, Charlton, (along with Colchester and Cambridge) need I say more.

If you need to have a guarantee of your team winning as a criteria for your attendance at a match might I suggest you shouldn't be a Blade but go and follow Chelski, Man Ure, Man City etc. Oh but hang on, you can't follow them in the Cup can you, because they are n't in it anymore. As long as we are "I will follow my team"!

 

[sitwell]

Hull v Wigan is for the Rugby league final.

 

[metalblade]

One game we have a chance even though the odds are very much against us. We have some good young players who may never get the opportunity to play at Wembley again and one or two for whom this will be their last chance before hanging up their boots. We may as well go there be brave give it a right good go and see what happens, nothing for us to lose at all but on the other hand the players could write their names in tomorrows history books. Even if we lose I hope the fans stay back and give the team the reception they deserve, we havn't had easy draws and for a League one team to even get this far is a fantastic achievement.

Hull v Wigan is for the Rugby league final.

Old faithful, you'll never win at Wembley.......

I'm tempted to ask "are you Wednesday in disguise" but I'm not sure there is a disguise. If you were any more negative I'd put you in the back of a bloody camera

 

[SwissBlade]

Harry's Game I thought you might've learnt from your previous anti-FA Cup rants

Just swallow your pride and get yourself to Wembley. Some of us can't make it and would absolutely love to be there, not just for a day out but for a chance to see the Blades finally light up wembley... Just for once!

I don't know what to expect, we've played two tough league games in a week, picked up a few knocks and whilst it sounded like we created chances against Wolves, we got beaten. Many have said on here that Wolves caught us out tactically and physically.

So in the days and weeks before wembley we may pick up bookings, suspensions and more injuries...or we might come through unscathed. All of which will dictate the side we can play. In the past we've always seemed to have someone miss out or go off during the game...Mel Rees v pigs. Don Hutchison doing his shoulder in 97 v palace, Jamie ward in 09, KMac last time out.

There was so much negativity before Villa this season, 6,000 went for a day out at a nice ground...

Perhaps Hull will be another Villa, Blackburn, Coventry or perhaps it'll be a Wednesday, a Huddersfield or a Wolves. Just for once let's hope we don't freeze when we've done so well to get this far

TBF I don't think HG is a pig, but if it is who I think it is of the former Bladesmad posters he is an unadulterated Neil Warnock fan who won't accept anyone else as Blades manager.

 

[blade.i.am]

at the risk of sounding similarly negative my main ambition for this trip to Wembley is to see the Blades score a girl from open play. Have been to 3 play-off finals and the semi against Arse and no joy so far

Sir, if the Blades score a girl I dread to think of the headlines. Maybe old fashioned values prevented this from happening before.

Ahhh, bless. Just a Freudian slip bloodster. Don't you remember lonely evenings in your bedroom?

It does sound very much like the sour grapes bollocks that's been spouting from the South Barnsley shitwasps.

I do mate, and I hope Mr i.am takes my comment in the spirit it was written.

Not only do I recall those evenings in my bedroom, I envy those who are still able to engage with the opposite sex.

At the moment I can barely pull myself out of my sofa, let alone consider pulling a female, but to those who are able to, good luck, act considerately and with care and passion, you'll find this is all someone else asks for.

Ha, I'll show Mrs SEB this she might leave my bank balance be.

Only joking, she's an absolute diamond.

You're a lucky man SEB. I never found the magic formula for a loving relationship, so well done you for being with someone you care for and love so much.
