Sheffield United (N) - FA Cup SF - Sat 22nd April, 16:45 | Pre-Match Thread

Allow plenty of time if going to Wembley, I’m predicting demonstrators being active over the weekend, as they’ve said their not targeting the London marathon, but not ruling out other events.

If any of the fuckers turn up at the game, I hope they get twatted all over!

Do not end the game in the same situation as the Leicester game with a majority of fringe players with no leadership.

The only nailed on starters for me are Ortega, Walker, Laporte, Mahrez, Alvarez, and Foden.
I hope Phillips and Rico Lewis get an opportunity. The other 5 starters, who knows.
I think he may surprise alot by starting Haaland. At the end of the day he deserves a Wembley appearance.

Attwell appointed as the referee tomorrow - absolutely ridiculous he's allowed near one of our games again this season, especially one this important. In fact, after the Spurs v Brighton debacle, it's ridiculous he's refereeing full stop.

The worst referee in the league and also the most dishonest.

The only consolation being he won’t get the final

Fordyboy has gone for a defeat.:-)

Full strength team, with only changes made to players with knocks. Get ahead by a margin and only then should Rodri, KDB and others be taken off for rest.

We looked like we had “called it” a little early against Leicester, and we cannot afford to do that in an FA Cup Semi-Final, which has been an Achilles heel game recently.

The players don’t need “training” at this stage of the season, they need science-based recuperation and I think Weds-Sat is enough for most to get it.

No hiding for anyone now. This is where you earn your crust and there is LOTS of bread on the

The only consolation being he won’t get the final

We might not get to the final if Attwell has his way.

A fiver on the blades just in case the FA have decided the rags have won it and want the easiest route.


Attwell and Cann are gonna fuck us again.

Only changes to this line-up would be moving Foden into the front three (replacing Palmer) and Gundog coming into midfield...

Palmer and Gomez can come on in the last 20-30 mins IF going well.

To be fair mate , i dont agree with what Pep does , the last few semi-finals he has made wholesale changes and it has cost us, i think when 30,000 of our fans have to spend hundreds of pounds to go to London the least he can do is play a team to do that commitment justice.
Would prefer to play our strongest team and make subs after 60 minutes , its a tough run-in but we have a fully fit squad , lets go for the lot.
