    I ran it past the Mrs.

    It was made clear to me that I have things I need to be doing tonight and none of them involve driving to Sheffield :-(

    I'll be looking for a stream in the interwebs instead.

    If anyone has decided to go on account of this thread - please don't blame me if we don't win. That said - I will aim to go to Sheff Utd game if we get to it

    the things to do
    does one involve popping to the shops

  • Randomly decided to go! Although going to Uni in Nottingham makes the commute easier.....
  • I'm in Malta so it's not practical no matter how much I want to be there.

    All I could do to be responsible and say no when my daughter suggested it earlier.

    I've got work and she has somewhere to be too. In reality a Northern fluorescent jacket or two would take great pleasure in saying no tickets available once we'd travelled all the way up there so we're being "sensible."

    Makes me realise I'm getting old though because in my twenties (like she is) I'd have said sod it and gone without even thinking about the logistics of buying tickets.

    Twice in the 70s my now wife and a friend went to the FA Cup final without tickets and got given them outside the gates. Where there's a will there's a way.

    Air Malta flight gets to Manchester for 18:30. You could make most of the second half...

    Swisdom knows his place....

    Brilliant. If i were you i would have come up for another reason why you decided not to go tonight, not that your wife told you you couldnt go.

    In truth we have a man of the cloth coming round tomorrow to discuss my sons upcoming christening so we need the house to look less like a hand grenade went off in Hamleys

    Swiz, look at it like this: If we lose you'll be glad you didn't go. If we win, you can go to the quarter final!

    ps This has got draw written all over it. Replay next week ;)
  • Better tell her to do it then mate as you won't be home till late as jackie from acts is stuck in the loo and you need to cover her work and you won't be home for hrs

    Swisdom you made the wrong choice BUT don't ever let her forget the sacrifice you made for her:-)
  • That's got to be divorce material surely?!

    No, he made the right choice. If he'd gone we'd probably have lost, and he'd be cursing his luck and she'd be cursing his sense of priorities. Now is the time to big up what an epic game he missed, bank the brownie points and make sure he's got a free pass for the united match

    We are now in sensitive discussions about a trip to Sheffield. HOWEVER having not seen any of the FA Cup matches so far I don't want to jinx the team.

    To be fair, apart from our end, it was quieter than a library most of the evening...
