Now it's worth it ! Great incentive if it's Sheff Utd away .
The incentive is much greater for Wednesday now though. As i'm sure the likes of OP will be on to tell us. The entire city will probably be buzzing over the potential quarter final now
Puts more pressure on Wednesday now - they will have on eye on the quarter final and we'll kick them in the other eye. Then you can't complain with a game at a league one side to get to Wembley. But it will be tough - probably tougher than Wednesday! With a trip to Wembley such a possibility - surely even more reason to bring a couple in.
This. Radio 5 are already creaming their knickers about a Sheffield derby, let's remind them there's a third team in this drawn fixture.
Good potential for two none premier league teams in the semi finals, this a great year to really push for it - such a shame we need to focus on the league too. Need those loans in ASAP to help us cope with the fixture pileup if nothing else.
Fingers and everything else crossed that we can get past the Wendies and meet up with pal at United. Hope he doesn't expect us to pay for the pitch covers like Forest did though!!! ;-)
Delighted for Nigel Clough as well, beating that little troll again.
- there will be a much bigger crowd at Hillsborough now (and hence more gate receipts for us)
- if we can overcome Wednesday, we'll have a better chance of getting past the Blades than against Forest at the County Ground
- all the media focus will be on the likely Steel City derby, which suits us and will ramp the pressure up on Wednesday (recognising that they will also have a massive incentive)
- unless both of the two remaining ties end in draws (which is unlikely), our game at Hillsborough will be live on TV
- Sheff Utd away would be an excellent quarter final day out.

This...... Easy copy for the 'hacks'.... they will lap this one up, a bit like the 'Poyet father/ son ' clash if it had been us against Sunderland...... easy copy to feed the editors. I would have preffered one of the 'big clubs' it would have made a decent match to remember..... Not sure that 2 trips to that part of the world can get anyone excited ( well not me for one) about as exciting as a 'greasy chip butty' as there crowd used to sing eh!. My cup doth not run over..............
You want the big clubs in the early rounds and if you are still in it in the latter rounds, you should want the weaker clubs. Which is what we have got. We have to do something about the opportunity, but it is an opportunity that an away tie to Man City or Arsenal wouldn't have given us!
Can't believe I was one of the people praying for a draw away at City! Having an ACTUAL REALISTIC CHANCE of getting to the semis is far more exciting now it is upon us.

All very satisfactory.
