Sheffield United manager Chrus Wilder, a Blades fan, said it is time for his club to “look forward”.

Speaking in his pre match interview he said

“Many years have passed since it all happened and I actually have a big admiration for West Ham with the way they’ve gone about it in the past,” 

“I think they are a very similar club to Sheffield United – a working-class club from the east end of London and the supporters want to see them play good football and work hard.

“I think a West Ham fan could have a beer with a Sheffield United fan and they’d have a lot to talk about – maybe they should, I don’t know.

“But there are a few clubs whose fans maybe you wouldn’t sit down and have a beer with. I’ll leave you to fill the blanks in!”
