What a difference a really good referee makes. I thought he was faultless tonight.

He was good but also helped by the players not cheating. If the sport were to crack down on cheating more games would flow like this. It is certainly not easy to be a referee when players dive in most challenges.

Apart from when a few of their players fell over and looked at him and he gave a foul and all the foul throws he missed he was the best for a while.

1992/93, 2002/03, 2013/14 ..... 2022/23 ???? seasons with a 3 in it!!!!!

Anyone else get Peschi vibes with Illy’s goal?

Peschy's was a scuffed shot. In all fairness Illy just took some top class touches and put it carefully in that corner!

what a performance. hecky took a few risks to rotate to try to win today & weekend manage the minutes hope we are still in the game towards the end & keep our better players for the last 20 mins. but that the issues with FA Cup midweek. which should never happened. but those stupid foreign managers aticking there oar in as FA cup should always be weekend

i thought it was good half considering the 8 changes & they not be as good as they were it was still champions league opposition. who as 5 live were saying could go deep in that. & just what an absolute magician ndiaye is. bring on the quarter finals

my guess for the FA Cup TV schedule (although the 17th surprised me. i thought it was always 2 Saturday 2 Sunday)

Friday - Man Utd v Fulham 7.45pm ITV

Saturday - Sheffield United v Blackburn 12.30pm BBC
Brighton v Grimsby 5.30 pm ITV

Sunday - Man City V Burnley 4pm BBC

We beat Chelsea. 3 days later...

ENIC faultless then but sinners now. Bo!!ocks to that rubbish.

This is the manager, the selections and the messaging.

We are an absolute laughing stock.

Chelsea are worse than West ham. Sheffield United would've thrashed cheslea tonight

also its weird stat, global pandemic aside with Chelsea 2021. 1968 is the last time with fans there wasnt a FA Cup quarter final at the lane. 1990 1993 1998 replay 2003 2014 2020 2023. all at home

 

[Karaoke Blade]

A special mention for the legend that is Eric Dier. A real role model for any youngster who proves that anybody, no matter how shit they are at football, can go on to play for England.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Proud to be a Blade tonight. A Hecky tactical master class, resting players early on and then bringing on the cavalry when it looked like we could nick it. Ndiaye's goal was sublime.

Spurs are on their way to Wembley
Ozzies gonna do it again

Well done Ben

Carlton Palmer paved the way for the rest!

You missed 2004 - we lost 1-0 away at Sunderland.

I thought it was a tribute to Ricky Villa

Had a right struggle getting a Chinese takeaway on the way home.

 

[Kev Gee]

Basham MOM for me. JLT second. Incredible desire to win every ball
Brooks had a nervy start but recovered well. He will remember this night. Well done lad!

 

[Mendi]

Huge win

Bash was fucking immense. Couple of mistakes yes, but overall he was like prime 2019 Chris Basham. Shout out to Jacky Long Throw as well...absolutely magnificent.

Sheffield United cup upset is barely news according to the BBC, sits below an article on "Everton - shit aren't they" which isn't exactly news

Was wondering if that who Hecky was talking about in interview.

ITK info or just putting 2 and 2 together?

How red tape scuppered another young Sheffield United debutant against mighty Tottenham Hotspur

Sheffield United hoped to give another of their young starlets a first-team debut in their FA Cup fifth-round tie against Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur, before seeing their plans scuppered by registration red tape.

Miguel Freckleton

A good continental / Yorkshire mix name, like Derek Gonzalez.

For once my southern-softy colleagues had done their homework and were ready for me on Teams before I got in for my first day back since the Spurs game this morning:
