Very much so 😂

If you're part of the small demographic of being someone who watches Swedish TV series and also a Cincinnati #Bengals fan, you may get a shock if you watch the series 'Clark'... it seems Burrow has been moonlighting as a lead actor 😂

Wow. What a drive by the Bengals. Chase Brown led the way with 35 total yards, including a 5-yard TD run.

The Bengals went 68 yards in 12 plays and were 3-for-3 on third down.

Thank you for all you've done on the pod. Good luck with everything in the future. UTB

At least we're in the Championship next season and should be winning most games.

Next good omen. Hanshin Tigers lost today. It is very rare for 2 (or more) of my teams to win on the same day.

On the way to Wembley. 100 years since the Blades last won there. 9 previous playoffs - promoted 0, relegated 1. In the previous 4 finals, not only did we lose, we never scored a goal.
But we have a secret weapon today. My son. He's seen about 20 games and has never seen the Blades lose.

We're in 503, so we'll wave across to you 😂

Chris Hood @whoodeycp.bsky.social · May 21

Which block are you in?

Chris Hood @whoodeycp.bsky.social · May 21

Yes. And Monty... who's seen United about 20 times and is yet to see them lose. So some thing's got to give 😂

How about you?

What odds for Sydie Peck to score the winning goal at Wembley with his 42nd shot of the season?

There's a real buzz around the Lane. Think the attendance will be higher than expected. I recon there's gonna be around 28,000 here.

The perfect listen on my walk to Beautiful Down Town Bramall Lane for the second leg.

NEW POD! A long look back with @panchero.bsky.social at United's nine previous playoff campaigns to see what can be learned and hopefully avoided as we aim for a win at the 10th attempt.

Seeing United play at home today against Cardiff, I think, will be the first time in my 35 years of supporting the Blades that I will have seen both the home and away fixtures against one team in a season. Here's to a win as we did in Cardiff.

Great view from where I'm having a cup of tea. Also inspired my daily sketch.
