Many Sheffield United fans have slaughtered bitter rivals Sheffield Wednesday as they seemingly had a lot of empty seats against reigning FA Cup champions Manchester City in their round-of-sixteen tie last night.
Twitter’s Kop.Finest posted a tweet of Hillsborough with what appears to be a lot of empty seats when the tie was still level at 0-0, calling it a ‘pure embarrassment’. Manchester City eventually won the match 1-0 through a Sergio Aguero goal which bundled over the line after the Wendies’ keeper originally got a glove to the shot.
The Blades later learned that they will face Arsenal at home in a second quarter-final which also sees Leicester City play Chelsea and Norwich City versus the winners of tonight’s last round-of-sixteen clash between Derby County and Manchester United. These Blades fans decided to respond to the Twitter post mocking their arch-rivals over their low attendance, with one fan cheekily asking if there was a ‘fire drill’:
