Just watched your mauling of Bristol City - Sheffield United will be massive favourites to win at Wembley irrespective of whether it's Sunderland or Coventry City you face.

I'm normally not confident going into play offs finals, but this time it feels different. I really hope Wilder can find a way to get O'Hare into the starting line up. We tick when he plays. We gel when he plays. We look dangerous when he plays. Mustard. Pure mustard.

Dodgy hair style not good for a live TV final at Wembley

You actually won a playoff final though... on a technicality

Bringing him off the bench seems to be working well. The 4-4-2 is making us more effective going forward, COH coming on for a striker around 60 mins is just brilliant IMO.

Hello Detroit Blade here,

Talking of dodgy haircuts, is this photo on your bedroom wall?

We have won 1 play off final at Wembley out of 8 - the last one we played v Wycombe. The Swindon final in 1990 we lost, but "won" due to the financial irregularities of the southern club.

We have also won 1 EFL trophy at Wembley during COVID, when nobody went.

So we have 2 Wembley wins from 10 visits since 1973. I've been to all 9 of the ones we could go to but wont be at this years final if we get there.

Let’s sell out our allocation! C’mon Blades, don’t let past failures ruin it when we do finally do it, back the lads, make the noise. UTB

We have zero in over 100 years! We have not won a final of any type (inc Watney Cup, Texaco Cup, Anglo Scottish, Johnstone Paint etc)….

4 Play off finals
5 FA Cup Semi defeats
2 League Semi defeats
Even lost bloody Watney Cup final to Bristol Rovers in the 70’s!

If people thought times were tough for Newcastle Utd ….. they had nothing on us!

Ian Porterfield in 1973- a nice link between us!

I know loads of people who will be missing it due to holidays or just not wanting to go through defeat there again. Therefore I’m fully convinced we’ll break the curse this time and I’m glad I’ll be there to see it.

I don’t care if we take 1000 or 100.000 this curse gets broke in two weeks time or whenever it f’in is, tell your ma, tell your pa, put the champagne on ice

100%, leave ya negativity in Sheffield on the day, leave ya poor old Utd in Sheffield, leave ya we never win play offs defeatist attitude in Sheffield.

I feel more confident than in 2003, we're absolutely bursting with quality at the moment having so many players fit at the same time.

An hour gone tonight and we're bringing on Tyrese, O'Hare and Brewster, we'll likely have BBD and Seriki for the final too.

Stop playing mind games!

You sound like Rafa Benitez

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

We must not go into the final overly fearful of our opponents or (if Sunderland) with any kind of inferiority complex

We earned 16 points more than Sunderland and even scored 5 more goals

We've just won our semi 6-0 on aggregate

We have pretty much a full squad to choose from, touch wood

There is NO excuse for the usual no show

Past failures are nothing to do with this group and the remarkable success of the Wilder era should have drawn a line under any of that shit anyway

This time we will at least score. And nothing says we have to stop at 1 goal either. Might not win. But if we play well then we should win

 

[YES Blade]

If we can’t do it this time then we’ll never do it!

We were able to take our foot off the gas for the last few league games and now we’ve got through the semi at a canter.

The starting eleven is as strong as any team we could face and we’ll have game changers on the bench.

We all know what happened in previous playoffs and there was always something in the build up that was against us. This time just feels different.

There is no better chance! The lads just have to take it!

We’ve failed to win our last 8 FA cup semi finals

61 Leicester 3 matches (including 2 replays)
93 Sheff Wed
98 Newcastle
03 Arsenal
14 Hull
23 Man City

In the last 100 years we also lost the FA cup final in 1936 and lost yet another semi final in 1928.
