Pre-Match View From Oldham

[1973Blade]

I didn't realise it was a local derby.

 

[Ecco1889]

No bombs on John Street?

This was from 1940


and from Lancing Rd 1985..and the match postponed was v Oldham

 

[S20Eddie]

Although there is only one team in Oldham

And there's only 1 team in Sheffield....UTB

The kop picture looks like Leeds supporters have just left.

Roygbiv , many thanks as ever

I'd really like to see us mercilessly crush this lot but I'd be satisfied with a 1 goal victory

Can't be, there's still a few seats left.

The biggest piece of Nazi shite I've seen in Sheffield since Paulo Di Canio.

Quietly confident of a good win to send all the blades home happy. Thanks Roy happy Christmas too you and yours

And here indeed is that very bomb - polished up and on show in Kelham Island Museum - according to them. Sorry it's sideways on - I guess it was like that when they found it

 

[JJBlade]

I hate games like this
Should be a straightforward home win against the bottom team, a chance for the Christmas festivities to continue

But knowing United like I do........

 

[Ricky]

It's going to be another Sheffield United vs 11 defenders game.

We need to start fast, with real aggression, tempo and intent to score an early goal.

 

[Lard_Lad]

All the signs suggest it could end up like Bury or Walsall games, lets hope it ends up like Swindon or Port Vale.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Just hammer em.

 

[RammyBlade]

Oldham's away record isnt that bad as they have only lost 4 and although mot scored many they have only conceded 13 which is 2 less than the Blades !
Its not a foregone conclusion but we need to score early I think so that puts them on the back foot

We need to score early to put them on the front foot, they'll already be on the back foot

 

[northsomersetblade]

We need to score early to put them on the front foot, they'll already be on the back foot

We need to get them putting their feet in and out, and in and out, and then we need to shake them all about

UTB? if you look at the above photo it's UXB

 

[curly]

I think we will have more legs than them

 

[Harry's Game]

I am guessing Roy struggled to find much being said about the game by the Oldham fans reading that.

 

[mattbianco1]

Didn't we boycott Bolton because they wanted £27 ?

That time we boycotted by filling the away end... Its the thought that counts though

 

[Jehovah]

Really hope it's not another attack v defence for 70 mins before a breakthrough. Just want to be 3 0 up after 14 seconds.

 

[Kryten]

I think we will have more legs than them

This disturbs me, either they are fielding players with peg legs or our lot are running around with a third leg tucked in somewhere!

 

[Kenilworth]

Human Caterpillar

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Is the kiosk open on the away end ? Matey is an Oldham fan but they sent their unsold tickets back at 10am.can he buy one at the kiosk anyone know?

 

[Basegreen_Blade]

They don't call him a handful for nowt!

Then do the okey Corey and turn around and they'll see what it's all about........

 

[coaxingstar71]

If we score in the first 20 then I think we'll get a few, otherwise it could be a hard slog.

A "roses derby"? How the actual fuck is us against Oldham a fucking derby? I am well aware that they are in Lancashire and we are in Yorkshire, but calling it a derby game is tenuous at best, and the thinking of a Grade A fucknugget in reality.

What next, playing Stevenage/Swansea/Scunny/Southampton the "Teams beginning with S derby"? Fuck off, Mr Oldham fan.
It isn't and never will be a derby. Our derby matches are against the pigs. All the rest are just matches.

Well, they do play in blue and white and have an owl on their badge. We could try and make something out of that?

One of the most annoying games I've been to was the 3-2 home defeat to Oldham in 2012 after being 2-0 up. We were so much on top but a combination of bad luck and awful refereeing saw us lose the game. It cost us promotion because due to injuries and suspensions we lost the following match too.
