[Half Bond Jls]

This commentator needs to be a bit more specific when he keeps saying 'United'. Does he mean the original Sheffield United or them from over the Pennines.

He started off correcting himself at first and saying man united after but has given up since.

Who is it anyway?

 

[Flatcap]

Jags and Kean Bryan looking good. Didn't think I'd be saying that at HT.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Absolutely brilliant effort first half. Well done lads. Worked hard for each other, played with discipline.

What ever happens in the end, very proud of them.

 

[Lawrence]

Backs to the wall performance! Burke up front second half please

 

[BettingBlade]

The real John Fleck has returned it would seem.

 

[HydeParkBlade]

I've got my finger on the "OLD FLECK IS BACK" klaxon and I'm not afraid to use it.

 

[drblade]

Awful free kick. Jesus

 

[HeySethUTB]

How is he not out of control with that tackle?

 

[originaltrueblade]

Red card that

 

[drblade]

Well done Blades

Come on!!!

 

[BlairBlade]

Red card that

Ideally

 

[Swannyblade]

At a guess, that he needs/needed some January reinforcements.

Perhaps he should have got a midfielder in the summer and not sent one to Forest

 

[robbiez666]

Well......

We've been well organised and defended well but I don't even think we've been that good. Very strange but extremely welcome.

 

[Mojo]

All I can say is WOW

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Absolutely 100%

 

[BladesOnToast]

So, is it pronounced "keen", or "kee-an" like the Radio 5 reporter keeps saying?? I've actually wondered this since 2018 but until tonight it was never important enough to be worth finding out.

 

[BrisBlade]

Can we offer them a draw?

 

[gordoncharles]

Is anyone else in a timewarp like me and getting Keys, Gray and Beglin?

Only problem is a daren't switch channels now.

Haven't got a clue. Sorry.

 

[mcbladeface]

Well personally I feel that Man Utd should be made to pay back all the fergie time theyve had over the years right about now. Should be around 45 minutes easy. Call full time!

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Hypothetical - we win tonight, does the January transfer policy change again??

 

[JackSUFC]

Can’t quite believe that first half to be honest.

 

[shrubbery]

Great first 45. Genius team selection from Wilder. I never doubted him for a minute.

Its sooo annoying pal, always happens

 

[1987]

Probably time to take Oli off all set pieces now.

Really solid first half that, obviously all Man U but we werent just banging it long when we got it. Pretty happy with it.

Need to find a way to stop it coming back so easy second half, forwards need to hang onto it a little better. Would love to see burkes pace on second half, especially seeing as its all going to be counter attacks.

 

[Bladesman98]

Keep that level of effort up this half and stay focused they will throw everything at this now. This is what we all want to see, desire and commitment.

 

[I'll tell me dad.]

Sir Bobby Charlton and his missus having a rayte set to apparently. Took her hat off and swung it at him at one point.

100% need to get Burke on. He’d be a nightmare for them.

Yeah. Bein sports, questioning our goal saying there was a foul on de gea. Fuck off if there defender heads the ball he gets no where near it. Also saying no foul on ramsdale and that Manures goal should stand. Premier league bullshit commentary, literally trying to reverse the score based on two similar incidents.
