Credit to Norwich

[Bladesway84]

Thought they came to win and very well could have. I think the people getting arsey about time wasting were basing it on last season. If we're gonna slag them when they time waste, they should get credit for making it an open enjoyable match.

#FUCKEM
And that horrible pig celebrating in front of the Kop

 

[Liverpool blade]

Fuck em. Just seen Norwich fans at the railway station and told them to take their time going home which didn’t seem to Brighten their day any??. HaHaHa. Karma. They think it’s all over!!!??. Our billy says it is now!!. Lol. UTB

 

[Northyorksblade]

Thought it was a very entertaining game where we had numerous chances to score. The bloke sat next to me thought it was completely boring, but he shut up moaning when I said he must have been watching a different game to me. And then, and then......Billy scored the winner

 

[Jehovah]

Delighted with a good game to be honest. Entertainment.

 

[adebo]

I loved them sarcastically singing take your time with 5 minutes to go, then Billy provides the karma. Bootiful hahahaha

In fairness to Rhodes

In fairness I booed him like most others but in truth what he did was fair enough. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve enjoyed watching ex Blades giving it large after scoring against them lot so have to take it if we dish it.
Remember Alan Quinn posing in front of the kop after putting them ahead in the 3-1 game then dishing it to them after scoring for us. Just part of the game and adds a bit extra spice

I was fuming at him yesterday, and thought he should have been booked for his celebration (provoking the crowd?). That said, he comes across as unusually intelligent and well-spoken for a footballer in his interviews, and had the decency to admit he was maybe a bit out of order. Plus it will only wind up the massive if he keeps scoring for Norwich after doing fuck-all for the pigs when they all hailed him as the messiah.

We’re cap-doffing fucking Norwich now? Is there no level too low for our Bladey Inferiority Complex?

That sort of stuff winds me up as well FB, and in these days worthy of a booking (not in my day though!)
Thing is, as supporters we should be able to take it on the chin (or at least keep it in perspective) if we wind up oppo players and then they do what he did.
It can't be one way.
It's like a kid poking a dog with a stick for half an hour and then when he gets bit, running off to mummy to tell her what a bad dog it is!

I'm not sure that recognising a bit of humility and someone's ability to realize they were wrong is inferior cap-doffing Pinchy.

Not sure it was lucky. Was an awful bit of defending by Bash to let the winger turn and cross like that. Basic stuff really.

I think that’s a bit harsh. Bash was the only one doing any defending at all, and at least held him up long enough for someone else to get back in position.

Yep, but he sure made up for it with that sublime forward ball for the winner. He knows how to pick a good forward pass does Bash. The earlier one to Sharp was also superb.

Just looks like my Nan's old bathroom. Are they getting a nice pink or maroon bath suite too?

Did they use one of Delias bad pink blancmanges to paint that?

Norwich deserve no credit at all for playing football and entertaining the fans, that is what they get paid for, and handsomely too.

The shithousery they performed last season was abysmal and deserved to be in Crucible not on a football pitch.

So fuck em I say, I really enjoyed seeing us beating them.

 

[Caveblade]

Norwich were very average but did carve out some chances. They did however look like the image of their manager in the germanesque way they dived and rolled around at the slightest touch.

Their keeper also took an eternity with every goal kick.

I took my American colleague to his first English game on Saturday and he could see the difference as the Blades stayed on their feet when challenged.

I don't mind Rhodes, but that type of celebration has a nasty habit of biting you on the arse. It just made the winner even sweeter for me.

Deserved win for me, but I still am concerned that we can't hold onto a lead.

I didnt enjoy it......until 90+3

I agree and think better players than Bash will get turned inside out by Hernandez this season.

Came this time with a different strategy, to get someone sent off. Even the ref got animated about their diving tactics.
