We're staying at Newport Saturday night, well, just off the m4.

 

[derrywan]

Tidylike. Tickets bought.

 

[norfolkblade]

Have to say, after watching Cardiff at Notts County on Saturday, we need to get at them, they looked in complete disarray, Chopra was disinterested, and Marshall had a mare between the sticks and got subbed at half time!

 

[SwissBlade]

Bring it on! Can't wait for the season to start so I can become depressed again !

Won't be at Cardiff but will be home for QPR at home

 

[Bath Blade]

I'll be there given that it's a 40 minute train journey. Looking forward to seeing Kozluk back in a United shirt.

 

[Foxy]

Tidylike. Tickets bought.

We'll probably be going for a drink at O'Neills or somewhere similar, if you or anyone else for that matter want to join us

For the first game of the season i'll not be in attendance due to yet another kids birthday party to attend with junior Brownie. On a happier note, the game will be being broadcast during the party so the Dads can watch it, whilst the females do the female stuff.

For the record i reckon we are gonna start with a 2-0 defeat

Is this party taking place in a certain establishment in the vicinity of Kings Cross Station or something??:gallop:

 

[bricktop]

It's at kidzone, which by my reckoning is nowhere near the Euston Flyer!

 

[Kev Gee]

This is a chance to throw a marker down for the season.

Come on Blades!

 

[LouTheBlade]

This is a chance to throw a marker down for the season.

Come on Blades!

Blades will win. Cardiff are still reeling from Wembley and United will go out to frustrate them. We'll also have a number of new players wanting to prove themselves.

2-1 win for the red and white wizards!

it's closed. Or it was a few weeks ago when I happened to be passing in the area minding my own business etc

[IOM Blade]

Can we have a nice loud rendition of 'What's that coming over the hill, is it the tax man, is it the tax maaaaaaan!?'

Fitting for both Cardiff and the Pigs.

 

[Ollessendro]

My team would be:

-------- SS

Ertl Nos Morgs Kozzy

Ward Monty Britton Yeates

------ Cressy Evans



Although I suspect KB will play:

---------- SS

Lowton Morgs Nos Taylor

-------- Monty Ertl
Britton
Ward Yeates

--------- Cresswell


(kind of like Spain's formation )

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Hopefully we can get a result and climb out of the relegation zone.

 

[dingledog]

Hopefully we can get a result and climb out of the relegation zone.

We are mid table now, could be as good as it gets, above 'Dirty Leeds' what a season we are having eh?

 

[1973_Blade]

Confirmed Team - my formation
SS
Lowton Morgs Ertl Taylor
Monty Quinn
Britton
Ward Creswell
Evans

 

[Pollingtonblade]

whats up with nosworthy

 

[Nick Jansky]

Delighted to see Lowton preferred to Koz.

 

[Nick Jansky]

And interesting to see that Cardiff only have 4 on the bench.

 

[davidpinder]

Ertl can kick the ball really high and really far

 

[Northyorksblade]

Koz will get his chance in the second half. The referees a f***ing wanker!

 

[raul]

Not sure about Bandannavitch up front on his own. Cresswell surely for that role and someone a bit more mobile in midfield.
