Well what can I say, because saying that The Blades lost in the semi-final to Hull does not even come close to the battle that took place at Wembley yesterday. Nigel Clough is rightly full of pride for his team regardless of defeat. In a nutshell, The Blades took the lead, Jose Baxter opened the scoring for The Blades in the 19th minute and they held that lead until Hull equalised in the 42 minute. The Blades came back in the 44th minute to take the lead at half time.
My heart was beating way too fast after half time, as Hull scored again in the 49th minute. Then Quinn scored for Hull and it looked as if it was all over. Which in theory it was at 4-2 to Hull. But Murphy pulled back another goal in the 90th minute to bring the Sheffield fans to their feet. in the 93rd minute Hull scored a 5th goal making this one of the most fought out semis I have ever seen.
Sheffield united may not have won but they gave their fans every penny back of the money spent on a ticket.
What a fantastic game and well played to both teams
It was also a super crickety Sunday, I was listening to the Durham match on the radio whilst continuing to decorate and to be honest up until lunch it was like watching paint dry!!!! Stoneman went early and Borthwick seemed to take a century to make 20 runs. it took Richardson and Mustard to really hit out and bring up the scoring. Durham closed on 265-5.
Yorkshire were showing their class at Taunton as Lyth, Ballance and Rashid showed why Yorkshire deserve to be champions. His Royal Ryanness got to sit in the pavillion and watch the marathon 'Hart to Hart' film run that was on Movie Mix, as Yorkshire closed on 342-5
