Teams & Score v City

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Team will be

Wes
Baldock Anel Egan Robinson Lowe
Berge Norwood Fleck
Ndiaye
McBurnie

Should be

Wes
Baldock Anel Egan Clark Robinson
Berge Norwood Ndiaye
McBurnie
Jebbison

City will play the likes of Phillips, probably bench Haaland

We'll lose 4-0

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

United to win on penalties.

 

[Balham]

Our recent lack of rotation means that the vast majority of the team will be unchanged. The only questions are over who replaces McAtee and who plays up front. I'd be surprised if it's anything other than:

Foderingham
Baldock Ahmedhodzic Egan Robinson Lowe
Berge Norwood Fleck
Ndiaye McBurnie​

With the possible exception of McBurnie dropping out for Sharp whose ability to win freekicks in the opposition half may let us get the ball into the CIty box once in the 90 minutes.

I'd expect City to rotate:

Ortega
Walker Akanji Aké Lewis
Phillips Rodri Silva
Mahrez Álvarez Foden​

and with 9 subs you can expect the big guns (de Bruyne, Stones, Haaland, Grealish, Gündoğan) and some prospects (Palmer, Perrone) on the bench.

We are likely to take a polite beating: 4, 5 or 6-0. I hope it doesn't get silly but they'll also have one eye on what is essentially a title decider at the Etihad next week.

 

[TCsLoveChild]

I've been told that Sharp will lead the team out and start the game. City beat Burnley 6-0 so anything less than that will be a result.....if we play like we did in the first half last night then I shall just close my eyes and think about promotion UTB

 

[South Sea Blade]

Team will be

Wes
Baldock Anel Egan Robinson Lowe
Berge Norwood Fleck
Ndiaye
McBurnie

Should be

Wes
Baldock Anel Egan Clark Robinson
Basham, Berge Norwood Ndiaye
Jebbison

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Wes, Baldock, Anel, Egan, Clark, JLT, Bogle, Berge, Osborne, Lowe, Ndiaye. Bring Billy and McBurnie on for the penalty shoot out.

 

[Swannyblade]

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

Let's just sit back and remember this is Football so in theory anything could happen, and they do owe us a favour for bringing a couple of their lads on.
Pluss I doubt they'll be playing all of their top players to start with if at all,
So Lets hope they do a Tottenham and underestimate us....

Bettis’ sex dungeon??

Deadbat Webding Please take an action to provide update on this.

Apologies, we did a rushed pod tonight, but will give this the full investigative journalism it deserves before the next one.

Poor. Am considering cancelling my subscription.

 

[RecordBreakers]

Betfair's o4.5 goals BTTS no at 9/1 seems like free money

Man city -5 11-1 with sky bet

 

[robbiez666]

I think the record win for a semi final is 6:0 so I'd like us not to be on the other end of a new one.

I know some will want young players thrown in but I hardly think being on the wrong end of a cricket score would help their confidence!

 

[blade too long]

Getting man city mid slump only drew tonight

So 0-0 and we win 67- 66 on penalties around 9 30 pm

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

Our best hope is to somehow get Novichok into their dressing room; McAtee, Doyle, John Gannon, Kyle Walker - there must be a way!

 

[DifferentClass]

Give the U18s a run out, they'll shaft us regardless.

Baldock---------------Anel---------------------Egan-------------------JLT--------------------------Lowe

-----------------------Berge-------------------Norwood--------------Fleck (Basham)--------------------

------------------------------------McBurnie (Sharp)-------NDaiye (Jebbison)---------------------------

8 mins 0-1 (Haaland) A succinct showing of 'total football'. No United player has touched the ball yet.

22 mins 0-2 (Haaland) Rises above Fleck who is marking him and powers in a bullet header which makes a Hawaiian guitar sound on the netting. Fleck disappears. He is discovered, stamped into the Wembley turf five minutes later by Davies whilst cleaning the mud off his boots before a goal kick

39 mins 0-3 (Silva) Picks the ball up from the keeper, turns and goes round Norwood six times and drives on toward goal as all the Blades players watch and clap. Berge flashes one of those smiles he does and leaps up in the air as Silva boots it past Davies

41 mins 1-3 (Berge) Nope. Me neither.

55 mins 1-4 (Haaland) Completes his hat-trick running from midfield with Oliver Norwood impaled on his chopper. Has to be subbed to get Norwood removed.

69 mins 1-5 (Colin Bell) On as a sub even though he's been dead two years. Smashes a cracking shot past Davies who is openly crying.

81 mins 1-6 (Mike Summerbee) Another late fitness test hopeful who boots Baldock up in the air and stands over him growling before setting off and bending it into the top bin

Put short, we're gonna get sprawled out, hogtied, lubricated liberally and fastfucked up the out-door and in the gob by unfeeling footballing monsters

Prepare to watch it through your fingers and remaining on your first pint throughout the game.

pommpey

Bell and Summerbee references. Love it!!!!!

 

[Green7361]

I hope Hecky does surprise us with something slightly different in terms of personnel, the game is a free hit and has no bearing on promotion. If we get stuffed so be it, it won't ruin my day of celebration

 

[derfblade.3]

I hope Pep's after match speech is ...."The dirty nortern bastards have ruined our season. Who is this clogging cunt Jack Robinson? Haaland may never play again and Grealish will need an emergency hair transplant. And what the fuck was Kyle Walker thinking when slicing the ball into his own net in the final seconds for Sheffields winner."
Let's hope eh?

 

[reedy63]

If Baldock can get near Grealish and introduce him to row Z that will help.a bit anyway.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

City kick off and quickly advance into the Blades half. Grealish is distracted by a fan in the crowd holding up a blow up doll wearing a blue and white scarf. He loses possession to N'Diaye (Grealish, not the blow up doll) who immediately goes on a mazy run through the static City midfield and slots the ball past a despairing Ederson. Five minutes pass whilst VAR try and find a reason to disallow the goal but City kick off anyway.
The rest of the first half is a scrappy affair until the 9th minute of additional time when a cross from Walker is mishit and catches Foderingham off his line for an undeserved equalizer.
As the teams emerge for the second half, Pep makes a remarkable 6 substitutions and his team proceed to hold camp in the Blades box for the majority of the game. Ederson is spotted lighting up a cigar on the 60th minute and is promptly booked by the referee. On the 85th minute, as the Blades penalty box now resembles a scene from the Alamo, their manager Heckingbottom, whose hair has somewhat bizarrely turned grey since the half time break, sends on reserve keeper Davies to play alongside Fotheringham in the net.
The score remains 1-1 as the game enters additional time. 45 year old Billy Sharp suddenly receives a long punt from John Egan, and the normally reliable Kyle Walker slips on a discarded deck chair in the City box. Sharp strides on and time almost stops still as he unleashes a curling strike past the flailing Ederson into the bottom corner.
2-1 to the red and white wizards! 'We're on our way to Wembley', the fans,somewhat confusingly, sing. The referee blows the final whistle. Most Blades fans are in ecstasy apart from one bloke who mutters 'We should be concentrating on promotion'.
The end.

 

[Gannon's perm]

Our best hope is to somehow get Novichok into their dressing room; McAtee, Doyle, John Gannon, Kyle Walker - there must be a way!

I'll do my best but it's hard to get hold of these days

Vs

Don't come on here trying to spread your fucking optimism

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Yoof and energy. Worked against Spurs and will wok against City who are only marginally better. Plus Pep won't have had time to watch the game, read this forum and our adopted City Blades won't tell him.

Plus let's put Grealish on his arse for every goal they dare to score against us.

Don't t wait to deck that prick... Do it before a goal is scored. And no, I don't agree with that from fans at all as I know one of the Brummie lot decked him.
I actually can see McBurnie grabbing him by the throat.. Or Anel doing it.

 

[Stuart mitchell]

Don't be so pessimistic.

Just check our record at Wembley...


Hello...are you still there?

I've been watching united long enough not to be pessimist lol. Been to watch them at Wembley many time's ,
But it will be an enjoyable experience
Just hope we keep the score respectable

 

[Gone for a Burton]

I think there'll be a surprise Blades win due to us being willed on by the entire football world, who know Man City have been blatantly cheating for years.

Expensive lawyers found a loophole last time at CAS. They may find another loophole relating to the 100+ Premier League charges. But Man City cheat and everybody knows it's spoilt the competitions in England for many years.

So you're THE SUN reader ??
