Sky Coverage

[BladeinCottingham]

Went to the game, thought we were good first half and just coasted in the second half. To be fair it's all we had to do. Tufty for sure is pushing for 100 points, looking forward to MK, albeit (initially) sat on my hands....
Haven't got sky so can't watch the coverage back, what was the feedback from the commentators and pundits?? UTB

 

[RammyBlade]

They were drooling about the quality of our football and how well Wilder has done. Personally I cant stand that twat Beagrie who normally calls us Sheffield despite playing for us although dont think he said it today ?

 

[SteveBlade]

They were all saying how good we were, how if anyone thought we'd let up after confirming top spot then they're getting proved massively wrong.

'Hollywood' football was mentioned I think. Basically they were verbally having sex with our football.

How good a job Wilder's done. Blade manager, Blade captain, that's how it's done.

One of the commentators might have came some time during our first 20 minute annihilation of Bradford.

 

[zablade]

Just watched it back.. All of them salivating over our first half performance even Birtles and Pruton.

Beagrie thinks we just need a couple of additions to hold our own in The Championship.

Dalgleash's daughter was presenting as was just as bad as she was before being fired by Channel 5

 

[Roygbiv]

I am reliably informed they gave us the same sort of praise we were getting off neutrals on Twitter . I can't recall United getting such a positive reaction from a performance since the Arsenal semi final back in 2003.

I think if you're Sat on your hands, with a United shirt and a Jack O'Connell magic hat on.... then you'll still stand out in the home end

All I heard were Barcelona, Real Madrid and the Blades in the same sentence and that was good enough for me

 

[FTPE]

Id feel more comfortable if Beagrie said we'd go straight back down, because that annoying little twat knows fleck all!

 

[Ginger Gnome]

Prutton did praise how well Clarke has been leading the line all season at half time, so they were clearly well-prepped to cover the game.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

They are all wrong, it was total crap football, and we need at least 47 new players next season just to finish 4th from bottom.

I know this because the piggy tramps on Porktalk say so.

 

[JordoBlade]

I couldn't make the game so had to listen to the radio and the commentators were extremely impressed with our 1st half performance. However on the flip side tweets from grunters said we were shite

 

[mattbianco1]

Serious question...

I forgot to record it. Does anybody have a way to email me a copy of it?

 

[Harry's Game]

Dalgleash's daughter was presenting as was just as bad as she was before being fired by Channel 5

She's terrible isn't she? One of the clearest examples of its not what you know it's who you know. Not so much Bob's your Uncle as Kenny's your Dad.

 

[Bladesman]

The job description to be a pundit on Sky has to be:

You must be able to insert as many cliches as possible into a sentence
You must wear fake tan
You must accept that football was invented in 1992
Research skills not required

weve no chance of matching wednesdays first season back when they were top nearly all season , well nearly top as their fans recall it

yes the gulf now is so massive , so big clubs like Burton cant ever stay up

oh hang on

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

She's worse on the radio. Radio 5 phone-ins used to be the dogs bollocks, back in the day. These days I find the combination of herself and Savage literally unlistenable. Even David bastard Mellor was better.

Or post it to YouTube. Pretty please!

 

[Antonb]

yea carnt afford sky sports so if someone can post it on youtube or something I would appreciate it

 

[JJ Sefton]

They just went on about the pitch invasion, said that had totally overshadowed the football.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

The half time analysis was basically Beagerie & Prutton, furiously rubbing one out for quarter of an hour about how good United were.

 

[mancunianblade]

I like Beagrie, He's always full of praise for us but yes, he did call us Sheffield, when talking about Wilder being a blade and sitting next to him in the changing room.

 

[blade67]

Was saying at 1/2 time that's its bloody typical of United to bottle it in front of a big crowd on the telly. But of course this isn't a typical united season.

 

[Ricky]

It's great that we saved a performance like that first half for a national TV audience.

Showed exactly what we're capable of.

You would though wouldn't you

Shame it wasn't sunny Rick

I've been using the "it's typical of United" quote all season.

but Wilder seems to have well and truely ripped up any negativity. Bet we'd even WIN the playoffs with Wilder in charge, the guy has performed a miracle.

Really looking forward to next season so we can lose a few because I need a dose of reality. This champagne football we're playing is making me for too optimistic, it's like a dream.

 

[BladeinCottingham]

Thanks for the feedback, it's good (but slightly concerning as it's not normal) to hear its positive feedback from a national perspective.
As a club we get amazing praise from ex players etc. Which I'm not sure we all fully take on board as we're all slightly pessimistic.
We've turned a corner, we have blades at the spine of our club, chairman, manager and captain. Strap yourselves in boys and girls as I try believe this is just the start.
The tramps over at S6 are shaking like a shitting dog as they know there's a TEAM of players lead by a gifted motivator chasing down 11 individuals (albeit mostly very good individuals) with a chancer at the helm.

 

[mattbianco1]

He's obviously never heard of the others that's all

We wouldn't win the playoffs with Wilder in charge for one simple reason, we wouldn't be fucking in them. Wilder teams finish 1st.

 

[Pinchy]

It makes you proud to hear neutrals praising our sublime football and opposition managers unable to hide behind 'we couldn't cope with their style of play'.
