“Anyone else just not arsed about sheff United. Pundits and podcasts etc going on like they are Real Madrid and we stand no chance.
Our best 11 is better than theirs plus we have a living god in Mayenda playing up front.
Give them 2 good games this season and the one at home could have been 5-1 Sunderland on another day.
Going to be a hell of a day jumping about Wembley whilst wilder the bell end is crying on the touch line.”
“If you look at a mini table of the top 4
Leeds 11 pts
Burnley 11 pts
The Lads 8 pts
Sheff Utd 3 pts
If we could take penalties we’d be top of that league & Sheffield would have zero points, not convinced they are better than us”
“We outplayed them at Bramell Lane and if Roberts had scored that penalty, then we probably would have went on to win 3-0.”
“We outplayed them for 30 minutes and didn’t do much second half”
“We’ve had the better of them twice already this season imo.
Their playoff tie was just a formality after the Bristol centre half got sent off, our lads will be on the crest of a wave after Tuesday night.
We’re going up”
“Their biggest threat recently seems to be the pretty average Keifer Moore. I expect big Dan to keep him quiet.”
“Got no fear of Sheff United. Keeps being mentioned on Sky that they won 6-0 on aggregate. First game 3-0, 45 minutes against 10 men. Second game, City were the better team by far for the first 30 minutes and could of been 2-0 up before United scored from a corner after a keeper mistake. Second half was like a training session.”
“I wouldn’t say that our first XI is better than theirs mind. Having said that, we are at practically full strength and Le Fee has been great in the play offs so far. I thought before the play offs that he might be the one to give us an edge, so just hope he comes up with some magic next Saturday. I was very worried about Coventry for obvious reasons, but I’m looking at next Saturday as 90 minutes (and potentially beyond) where anything can happen.”
“I would rather be playing Sheffield United than Coventry in the final, their is no pressure on us we just have to enjoy the occasion and whatever happens, happens I just hope that we at least try and play attacking football and not sit back and invite pressure again!”
“I was less confident against Coventry than I was against these, my initial feeling was we’d beat all teams in the play offs apart from Coventry and here we are now. I think we’re going up.”
“They’ve spent fortunes and had parachute payments that they got because of over spending the last time they were in this league to get promoted.”
“Sheffield United are all big strong lads and if I wanted a driveway tarmacking or some scaffolding putting up, I’d definitely choose them over our boys. If we run at them though, I’m not sure they could catch us.”
“I suppose we are lucky that 6’7 Souttar is out for the season but I worry about their height on Saturday.
In particular Moore and Ahmedhodzic who are both 6’5 and very physical and good in the air. The first goal they scored against Bristol in the second leg of the playoffs is a good example of how they just bulldozed it on from the corner.
They have a few other 6’2 + lads as well in Souza and Holding.
We rode it out against Coventry due to some heroics by Ballard”
“On a positive note, Ahmedhodzic is sh*te on the deck, let’s get at them and give them something to worry about!”
“How are we going handle the aerial threat on Saturday.
At 6ft 4 I think Mepham should come in.
Unfortunately someone has to make way and although O’Nien has been excellent, he is only 5ft 9.”
“Bizarre post. We have scored more headed goals than Sheff Utd this season – 7 to their 5.”
“It’s sheff utd man not the jorman luftwaffe ffs.”
“As always with Wembley it’s who handles the occasion better. The league has shown it’s a 50/50 game. We’ve bettered the results but they’ve bettered the points total.”
“Earlier in the season it was a 50/50.
Now it’s maybe a 60/40 but we have a good chance to progress.”
“I think 99 percent of Sunderland fans realise it’s going to be a very tough game but it is one we can win if we play to our potential”
“I am not worried we can beat them in a one off game but theyre better than us hence the table”
“I’m not that confident we will win. We could do provided we play at our best and get that bit of luck on the day!”
“Hamer and O’Hare are who we need to stop.”
“Their left flank looks dangerous, Hamer with 10 goals and 7 assists.
Burrows with 6 goals and 6 assists.
Hume and Roberts have to be very aware of those two.”
“Hamer in particular.
Moore’s scoring rate hasn’t been impressive and Sheffield aren’t as reliant on lobbing (or chucking) balls into the box like coventry anyway.”
“Sheffield are Wembley bottlers just like us, all depends on who shows the biggest balls on the day.”
“Some team with a quality fan base.
Tough one. But never say never”
“Hope we do them just for the way Wilder treat mild mannered Reggie on the touchline at our place. Disgrace.
Blokes an absolute weapon.”
“Can’t stand Wilder, the little sp*nktrumpet”
“Wilder is the only bloke edgier than my uncle.”
“Got nowt against them but they’re canny boring and Wilder is an absolute tit”
“Decent fans but can’t stand Wilder”
“I don’t have any issues with either of the Sheffield clubs. People from Sheffield of either persuasion have always been grand, in my experience. Wilder, however, and Gus Hamer, are not pushing for a place in my top one hundred favourite football people. Both cut from the same spiteful, aggy, cloth.”
“A top club and from my experience great fans, really looking forward to game next Saturday, a battle between too great proper clubs and may the the best team win”
“I prefer them to Wednesday. They have a lot in common with us. Over the years had some run ins with them down there and spent some time in the cells under the main stand but never mind, all part of growing up.”
“I do like Brammal Lane, one of my favourite grounds. A proper kop and these days it just looks good. Not like Hillsborough which should be pulled down.”
“Always prefered Wednesday myself.”
“We are far more aligned with Sheffield Wednesday than Sheffield United.”
“Sheff Wed are closer to us in terms of league success and crowds, far far closer.”
“Can’t even sell all their tickets”
