Slightly odd experience tonight, courtesy of supporting* two football teams, of watching one losing, causing the _other_ to get relegated.

(*Sort of: #ReadingFC are ‘my’ [and my home town] team, but #SheffieldUnited are my [adopted] home team, that I watch most and have most family ties to**)

Had a wonderful day at Wembley, despite losing 3-0(!). An amazing atmosphere, with lots of singing, balloons, flags and cameraderie.

Oddly, the #SheffieldUnited fans seemed more joyous in defeat than the #ManCity ones were in victory…

Just watched Pep Guardiola in an interview before the #FACup semi final. Quite ominously for #SheffieldUnited he's done his homework on them

Very excited to have bought tickets for the #FACup semifinal at Wembley, to see #SheffieldUnited vs Manchester City - it’ll be the first time I’ve been to Wembley (or indeed to any stadium that size…).

Superb #SheffieldUnited goal! 1-0 v Spurs

RT @SkySportsLyall: #SheffieldUnited have now come in for Lewis O'Brien as a potential replacement for Sander Berge, who is the subject of interest from #Newcastle and #FulhamFC.

The #WrexhamAFC FA Cup tie with #SheffieldUnited was just bananas. 3-3 draw in which Wrexham led twice, killed the crossbar on a banger of a shot, should have been given a PK for a missed handball, and ultimately gave up a 93’ equalizer to a 10 man side (red card) to force the replay. So very entertaining! “Super Paul Mullin” is underrated for work rate. He was such a problem for Sheffield United.
