Preamble
They couldn’t, could they? They probably won’t but at least Bristol City cannot have a worse night than they did in the first leg. Down to ten men and 3-0 down, and against a Blades team who can mix it. Urgh. Now for the miracle. It can be done. Sheffield Wednesday overturned 4-0 just two years ago. Otherwise, Blades, third-best all season, will claim the Wembley place they’d say was rightfully theirs.
Kick-off at 8pm UK time. Join me.
