On the back of the Bengals surprising everyone and not losing to the bye week last week, I wonder if Sheffield United can do the same this week 🤔😂

Wow. What a drive by the Bengals. Chase Brown led the way with 35 total yards, including a 5-yard TD run.
The Bengals went 68 yards in 12 plays and were 3-for-3 on third down.

At least we're in the Championship next season and should be winning most games.

Next good omen. Hanshin Tigers lost today. It is very rare for 2 (or more) of my teams to win on the same day.

On the way to Wembley. 100 years since the Blades last won there. 9 previous playoffs - promoted 0, relegated 1. In the previous 4 finals, not only did we lose, we never scored a goal.
But we have a secret weapon today. My son. He's seen about 20 games and has never seen the Blades lose.

Seeing United play at home today against Cardiff, I think, will be the first time in my 35 years of supporting the Blades that I will have seen both the home and away fixtures against one team in a season. Here's to a win as we did in Cardiff.

One thing we touched on in this was looking for a statement of intent from the new owners re: the women's team this summer. To that end, making all tickets FREE for the next home game is an excellent gesture. Come support the team if you can: www.sufc.co.uk/news/2025/ap...

With just three games left, United Women are facing a crucial match on Sunday 20th April.
