I was listening to the first half on the the radio and when Eriksen scored I thought that's it and I'd wait until the highlights on BBC1.
The moment they introduced it as being a "dramatic" game I knew Spurs had messed up and I was just waiting for Sheffield Utd to score but when it turned into two, like EJG1980, I nearly had a heart attack. Surely Spurs couldn't have given it all away - thankfully not but I could have done without so much of the drama.
What got me is that both goals were similar in cause. No Spurs midfielder with the commitment or gumption running back to help out with the defence leaving their attack with an unchallenged spare man on the left far post who goes on to score. That's was the job of the right winger in both these cases: Andros Townsend definitely needs reminding of his defensive responsibilities. That's an area where Aaron Lennon is still much better.
Still we've got to Wembley, our first final for years, and we know that we can beat Chelsea. So whilst they should be undoubted favourites Spurs + cup game often brings out the best in us. Looking forward to it.
