@vstox I knew we were going to win when Blackburn fans started singing about Wembley with a third of the game to go. Having an Irish captain helped the Blades too.
@tisahh_Ken Big shout out to Wes kept us in the game in more than one occasion today, his heroics at times definitely get overlooked.

@JkoSufc What a performance by @SheffieldUnited not one player left anything on the pitch today a couple of lucky decisions our way (for once) but non the less we are on our way to Wembley
@red5nev As soon as the pen went in I called Blades win. Wish I’d put a couple of quid on it! Doyle for my MOTM, just beating Iliman.

Hide Ad@UptonBlade Can anyone confirm if Tyler Morton is still lying on the pitch holding his face after having his cheek tickled? I’m concerned for his welfare
@helenbail A trip to Wembley you say? Yes please!
@flyingmonkeyuk If more refs ignored players obviously trying to con them, maybe they’d stop doing it. The fact it led to our winning goal was even sweeter. I thought the ref did well today. Took no nonsense and let the game flow.
@mjball_ What a game that was. Fair play to Blackburn cos they went for it as much as we did. Guess they shouldn’t have been singing Que Sera from minute 1
