Man Utd Fans Reaction To The Draw

“We have played them 4 times in the FA Cup, win 3, L 1. Last time 3rd round as well in 09/01/95 Sheff United 0 Man Utd 2”

That seemed a bit of an odd statistic, as I remember us drawing them at home three years in a row in the mid-90s, but it's true! The other occasion was 1990, also at home, so in our entire history, we've played them only at home in the FA Cup and all in the space of six seasons.

The 92/93 2-1 win was one of my favourite games ever, "this man's left foot is magic" amongst other things. I taped the radio commentary and listened to the whole thing again when I got home. Jon Rawling in fine form as we kicked off "this is the sound of South Yorkshire, this is the sound of Bramall Lane...." and it was very loud.

The first game I saw against them was the Sixth Round of the Cup at home in 1990. We lost 1-0 but their goal shouldn't have stood (it came from a corner that should have been a goal kick) and we'd have scored if Tony Agana's leg had been an inch longer. Still, I remember we did well against a decent side and being pretty satisfied. Then, a few weeks later I think, I saw the bit on the United documentary about the game and Bassett ripped the players afterwards. I remember thinking that was really unfair. Still do.
 
The second one was 1992-1993. Ryan Giggs was outstanding as I recall and it was freezing cold. Typical Bassett performance, scrapping all the way to a win.

The next two I saw on TV I think. First was the season we went down and we lost 1-0. Then, the season after, we lost 2-0. Charlie Hartfield got sent off after letting Cantona wind him up but we were the better side after that. They filmed the end of When Saturday Comes at half time.

Fucking hell, listen to Eric Bastard Cantona here.

I bet Eric Cantona here has never stepped foot in a football ground before, and his favorite song is the one I have displayed below oh and he's from fucking Cornwall but his second uncle removed is from Eccles so it's technically not "glory hunting";

Manchester nick the second part of our name and then have the cheek to refer to us as Sheffield, cheeky fuckers.

Makes my piss boil does that, see it way too often.

Only one thing for it, we'll nick the first bit of their name and then refer to them as United....ha!

Oh, hang on a minute :oops:
 
Let's face it, the only time their supporters will have seen us was during our heroic cup run to the semi's, they obviously base their nervy comments on that. If we put out a team of a keeper and 10 defenders, we have a chance of keeping the score down to about 4-0 by half time. Still us pygmies should be grateful of the opportunity to play and enjoy the experience of being up against the BBC's favourite team.

I remember going to that game and they did the filming of Bean's penalty at half-time. He must have taken it seven or eight times and the crowd was asked to react as though it was a real pen. No idea who we were playing that night. Don't think it was Man U!
