[MJM]

First!

 

[Ridgeway Blade]

I'm first.

 

[FMBlade1]

I'm thirsty

 

[Ridgeway Blade]

First!

You must have just beaten me!! Somewhat amazingly my initials are MJM too.

 

[MJM]

Cheers Woy!

Think Pool fans have every right to feel confident going into this one. Screams 'banana skin' this.

 

[Revolution]

I have seen comment in more than one place that the odds on Blackpool to win are very generous.

Millwall and Huddersfield were also priced like that…

Mousset available, which is a bonus. Should be a good game with goals in it. Hard to predict the result though

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

It’s a sign of how good Billy Sharp has been for so long when he is mentioned in pretty much every team’s “View From…” usually like this:

“Billy Sharp usually scores against us so he will again on Saturday…”

Top top player at this level.

 

[Argentinemanager]

Cheers roy, thats better using your own copying skills than someone elses article. They appear a little too confident i think it will come back and bite them on the arse, 3-0 the mighty blades

 

[Jon Bon II]

“I’ve always thought of Sheff U as being a big physical team...."

Yeah and I always imagine Kathy Lloyd to still look exactly like she did on Page 3 of The Sun in 1990.

 

[Harry's Game]

“I’ve always thought of Sheff U as being a big physical team”

Mate, prepare yourself for a shock….

 

[Brewster Cost £70 million]

“Barnsley scored twice against Sheffield. We’ve beaten much higher teams in the table than Sheff United and Stoke and they haven’t exactly had the best form either.”

Bloody sheffield

 

[diode_blade]

“A victory would be more massive than Sheff Wednesday!”
Blackpool pleased by little insignifcant things then.
Cheers Roy

Does make you wonder if it's going to be impossible to get rid of the "big physical team" tag. We haven't been that team since Blackwell and we are now the smallest, weakest team in England. If people still refer to us as big and physical after this season I think the label is for life. We can't do anymore.

 

[SB_90]

“They have lost 3 of their last 5 whereas we have lost only 1 & just scraped past Barnsley on Sunday.”

this is where form table dont tell the whole story in my opinion because we are 3 points off the playoffs. despite our start the season where we dropped alot of points due to bad luck & our own stupidity

so i feel we are in a false position in the league currently as we have dropped 6pts at least - 12 pts at the most, with what happened v Huddersfield, preston, Bournemouth & millwall. so we could easily be in the playoffs positions coming into this game

 

[coaxingstar71]

Might be worth having a fiver on them to beat us!

 

[Carlton Blade]

United are capable of being about 12 different levels of team in any one game. While ever we are this inconsistent any result is possible

 

[Weston blade]

Cheers Roy

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Nice stuff weird one.

Is that last comment yours, you little scamp?

 

[originaltrueblade]

Blackpool the tangerines lets pick them apart segment by segment

Thanks Roy

 

[Cheets]

"I've always thought of Sheff U as a big, physical team".

I think we need to keep an eye on Blackpool's tricky little winger, Stanley Matthews. I've heard he's not bad.

Remember going to Derby the year we got promoted.

Around lunchtime I saw Paul Parker previewing the game on some channel or other. He referred to our midfield of Fleck, Norwood, and Duffy as 'big, strong, and physical as you'd expect from a Sheffield United team'

Then went on to be describe our style of play as absolutely nothing like it was. Hoof basically.

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Cheers Roy! Fair enough comments,but the again big and physical comment.
Maybe they saw the man mountain Osborn and just figured he was really, really far away.

Some of these cretins are stealing a living.

You might think that having played for us, Parker might take more than a passing interest in one of his old teams.

Nope, only room for Newton Heath United in his tiny brain, so he falls back on the trusty old stereotypes for good measure.

Wanker!

 

[Jon Bon II]

OK, I got it wrong. We ARE a big, physical team!

It’s a high bar, but Parker’s performance during our win at Bradford on Boxing Day 1996 was a contender for the worst performance I have ever seen from a Blades player.

 

[Digs blade]

Parker used to get a nose bleed if he crossed the half way line for us

Met him in the McDonalds at the top of the M606 after the match. The team coach was outside so he'd probably been nominated to buy for the team. He looked suitably miserable. Although whether this was from his performance or that they'd given him a fillet o fish rather than his happy meal was hard to tell.
