"we just got our arse handed to us on a silver platter by a League One team at home. "
"Sheffield United players wanted this more than our motley crue. "
"Jamal Campbell-Ryce slaughtered us in a cup game at Orient about 10 years ago. No-one at the club will remember that."
"I guess it's a 1st division team easily beating a championship side."
"Sheff Utd, very 'ard, good team good manager, was in the Premier League a few years back, Nigel Cloughs dad was a good manager too, if only we had Defoe etc. "
"Not content with seeing us royally shagged by Sheffield Utd, Harry put the first team out."
"I hope Sheffield United don't get called 'Giant killers' after this."
"Sheffield Utd are a good team and a good cup team
We couldn't possibly play with a plan and would rather play League One style football against a League One outfit than actually come up with something better "
"I remember Campbell-Ryce running rings round Rangers in a night cup game at Orient a few years back. We were rubbish that night."
"Scougal and McNulty were both released by Hibs (too f'cking small!) and picked up by Livingston, now they're doing well for a relatively big club. We on the other hand spend millions on Hoillet, Phillips and Mutch, guarantee Scougal is on a quarter or less of their wage and will have contributed double in this game, hopefully our scouting is improving and our own Livingston recruit will get a chance sometime too"
"We were beaten easily today not by fluke. Dont want my money back. Best comedy ive seen"
"Jamal Campbell Rice better than Hoillett?Every time the Sheff U winger got the ball he beat his full back, ok it was Traore, and delivered a dangerous ball into the penalty area.Every time our 50 grand a week winger got the ball he did naff all."
"Difference between the two is JCR used his pace and as soon as he got space he put the ball in where as Hoillett when he has space wants to beat the man again instead of delivering it and loses it"
"Embarrassed by that."
"we got bullied in the middle they (a league one team) made our CM's look like a non league team throughout the whole game. Hoilet (who i have stuck up for) was pony, Cambell-Rice showed him how its done"
"I bet you out two "centre halves" are on more between them than the entire sheff utd squad yet they got torn a new one time and time again by a team with far less ability yet one who showed some F****** pride and passion ."
"I'm surprised but my feeling is I couldn't give a flying #### about this game. A Charlie Austin injury would have pissed me off more.
What's ironic though it Harry picked that side to WIN. Make no doubt with Onouha, Caulker, Henry, Fer, Austin in the starting 11 he expected to win but was outdone by:
1)league 1 players passion
2)league 1 managers better tactics
3)not being able to motivate bit part players who know they're playing because manager wants to save the legs of those he has left out"
"I didn't think we were gonna win. I was surprised at our line up to be honest and thought we had half a chance but given that Sheffield Utd has knocked out a few decent teams it's no surprise they came on top. I'm glad there was no injuries and it's just a game to forget really."
"Very strong team slaughtered by Div 1 team who outrun, out thought and totally showed Rangers up, zamora at 2-0 missed a header with the goal gapping from 6 yards out, just about sums it up."
"Clough done his homework and tactically mugged Harry off today
We all know that our side has zero pace in it so Clough picks a team of short nippy players which meant they could throw the ball over the top and beat us for pace or when we were attacking if they pinched it they broke with pace hence first goal and three or four opportunities on the break they had. As soon as they went 2 0 up he took two midgets off and put two big lumps on to defend the lead as we were just chucking it forward
So we have giants in Rio, Caulker, Nedum, Zamora, Austin and Mutch but not one set piece landed on the head of one of our players even though I seriously do not think Sheff United had one player that was taller then ours, today we should have won the game using set pieces alone the height difference was that superior (for those thinking I am exaggerating you need to have been at the game to see how big we were compared to them) but he ballsed it up"
"Sheffield United seemed to be quite physical. Were there any injuries. I think this is more important than the defeat."
"Totally out played and they were the fitter side joke just want Redknapp gone."
"Sheff Utd aint that bad. Beat a lot better teams than us to get to the league cup semi finals"
"Shefield utd have not won a game since mid November how bad are we."
"OK no excuses because I'm just as pissed off about our embarrassing cup exits as everyone else. But it has to be noted that the last game Sheff Utd played was on Boxing Day. We've played 2 since then! Ok I know that probably every other premier league team has had the same problem (and barring other results today), have got though OK. But it did give them an advantage. That said, to lose 0-3 with some players that should be fresh, like Ferdinand, Mutch and Phillips is still a disgrace. I'm lost for words!"
