They hammered QPR at Loftus Road the other day, and have taken quite a few PL scalps over the last couple years. Clough has made a proper cup team out of Sheffield United, and I have every expectation that we'll see a strong performance from them come the day. Unless we're on form, there's every reason to believe they could make the tie very interesting.
You are right. But what is strange to me is that they haven't won in the league during the last 6 matches. Do they exist only to mess up for PL-teams?

I noticed that at the time. I know it's not really fixed but it genuinely looks like Souness believed Redknapp was supposed to pull out Sheff Utd. Hot ball cock up indeed...

On a separate note, I lost the very small amount of respect I had for Souness just before the CL final last season when he said Modric was the weak link in the Madrid team and that he's a 5 a side player. Even Oxlade-Chamberlain tweeted he couldn't believe what Souness just said.


Sourness Redknapp both former Spurs players too !

Great draw for us. They will be a really difficult opponent. However, I think we'll do them over two legs.

Still think Chelsea will win this competition though. Mourinho takes it seriously and they're on another level.
Mourinho took the New Years day game seriously and we smashed them

Yes they are of course favourites but if we reach the final and face them we will have a fighting chance in a one off game just as we did in 2008

Tbf, I wrote that before we did what we did on New Year's Day.

Much more confident now! :D

Plus our recent performances against Chelsea have been better than those against Liverpool
