If it goes to pens on Sunday then...

[Digger]

.... I think we should be o.k.
Porter
Baxter (both scored with pens this season, although both may not be on the pitch at the end)
Davies (cool last night)
Collins (has taken them before)
Brayford (would scare the ball into the net)

My mate said that Matt Hill tried to get the ball before Davies last night, anybody see this?.
Ive got this feeling that it will go right to the wire with pens being a likely outcome.
Our young un is taking my defibrillator just in case.

Digger..proud Blade.

 

[boo radley]

Just win the game in 90 and don't put us through any agony.

Well, yes Boo I would prefer that as well now you mention it but if it takes 120 minutes and pens then so be it.

Agony is Sheffield United. It's even in the dictionary.
Here's my take on Sundays events. One of the following scenarios will happen.

1) United will concede in the first minute and then proceed to murder Hull but be unlucky and not get the breakthrough.
2) United will play very well and concede a late goal but not have enough quality UPFRONT to get back into it.
3) United will take the lead in the first few minutes and then put us through 80 odd minutes of absolute heart destroying torture.
4) Hull will batter us making it a miserable experience (again)
5) It will go to penalties and everyone on the West Side will spontaneously die of heart failure.

It's the United way.

My ideal scenario for a stress free day would be to dominate the game from start to finish, score two goals after 75 and 78 minutes and then just so we can dispel any doubts about maybe getting a draw we snatch another to seal it after about 94 minutes.
I cant see it happening like that to be honest, but could you imagine the West side of Wembley if that's how it happened.

Scenario 1 is exactly how I see it going down. Maybe not the first minute, but in the first 20 for sure. I know we won't be beaten with no arguments, it's just not the Blades way. We will either be the best side but unlucky, not play well but have a stonewall penalty turned down, or lose on pens. I'm gonna love Sunday right up until 4:07, it will all go downhill from there I'm sure!

Know what you are saying Nuddy, even players of the calibre of Baggio have missed when under pressure but I think that season Brownie had taken all (or most) of the pens. 3 different players have scored from the spot since Christmas so should be confident.

His penalty at wembley for us was arguably the pick of the bunch.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Who remembers his piledriver against Stevenage in the play-offs?

It would have been one of the greatest ever Blades goals. I think it killed somebody sat on the Kop.

i remember it well, danny wilsons face on the replay was one of a man thinking he had just been given a winning lottery ticket and changed to one whos missus had flushed the ticket down the loo.

 

[UnitedBlade]

Don't forget we have 5 players who have scored penalties at Wembley.

Collins, Harry, Doyle, Hill and Porter.

What could possibly go wrong ?

2 is my pessimistic guess. But I'm not a pessimist and I think we're in for a special day.

MaGUIRE HEADER 78TH MINUTE

12 minutes of agony plus 4 added minutes of singing to suffer through

Stress free??? I'd still be stressing from the first minute till the 94th. Stress free would be being 5-0 up after five minutes with them down to eight men. Then I could almost enjoy the next 85 minutes.

The management bring in Simmo as penalty coach?

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

If it goes to penalties it will be one of the greatest days in The Blades history

Hee Hee. If we go 5-0 up that early I'd be expecting us to get a draw

 

[JOEYDEE]

Can we sign Steve Gerrard on loan to take one pleeeeeeeze !!!!

 

[Sirius]

Can we sign Steve Gerrard on loan to take one pleeeeeeeze !!!!

Arguably such a signing would result in a couple of dubious pens in our favour

 

[madeinsheffield]

Might be his only chance of a medal this season

 

[Worksop_Blade]

As I said the other night, BT Sport, The FA, Hull Tigers and the rest of the watching world would not understand the scenes if we score a goal on Sunday.

21 years of pent up, big game frustration.

I just hope if we do score it means something (gives us the lead, equaliser, back in at 2-1). If we're 4-0 down in added time and score a consolation it won't be quite as good (but the reaction from our end would probably be similar!).

 

[Bert Jr.]

A loss on penalties would be the absolute worst scenario. I can' even begin to articulate what I felt when Simonsen performed what can only be described as that goal kick from the penalty spot.

 

[Damski]

We need to do it in 90 minutes. Hull's Premier League quality/stamina/fitness will overcome us in extra time/penalties. With the exception of those chronic bus-parkers from Fulham, we have beaten every team in this cup run in 90 minutes. So that's how we'll do it on Sunday.

 

[dingledog]

My concern is that I have so much beer I won't care what happens.

 

[Damski]

Mate, I'll be steaming by 2pm.

 

[Going up]

FA Cup win, to complete the Cloughie dream for 2014. Not just Hull, all the way!

 

[Trigger Blade]

I always felt that United used up two new ways to let us down v Huddersfield. Having lost all previous play off encounters in 90 minutes, logically, losing one in extra time should have been the next one. Instead, they gave that a swerve and went straight for pens, when they could have been saving pens up for this weekend. And not just pens, best of five, a full team effort.
