Time's up Billy

[wavy-blade]

 

[Katzenjammer]

Also worth pointing out that it's the second consecutive occasion that Billy has clinically found the back of the net with his lesser foot.



Form is temporary, class is Sharp.

 

[Trigger Blade]

Has Bert ever happened upon a slice of humble pie?

Don’t be ridiculous, as befits S2 royalty, Bert dines on nothing more downmarket than foie gras and Beluga caviar.

Humble game pie for his Bertship?

I mean, he has been left with quail egg on his face.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Still got it.

Legs will go eventually chaps .

Keep trying .

How the fuck can anybody despise Billy?

Yes its strange .We all know he is coming to the end of a fabulous career and maybe he is not as quick as he used to be but he has given us some great memories to look back on. Also he played a big part getting us in the prem right from the pub league. Yes some on here have very short memories and to slag him off is bordering on being disrespectful to a club legend . Yes strange .

 

[S64 Blade]

He was poor before the goal, but then that’s what Billy is all about. He only needs that one chance as he’s so clinical. An excellent finish too!

One of the best to ever wear the shirt as far as I'm concerned. The fact he loves the club makes it even sweeter.

It's not wrong to criticise his performances here and there, it's football but if you call yourself a Blade and have any dislike towards the guy then I will need some justification. Its hardly like he's stuck with us all this time and bagged 8 goals or something.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

It’s the bit of movement to make space before Ilimans pass.

It’s the first touch to set himself up for a shot.

It’s the placement into the far corner with his weaker foot.

Billy has very much still got it

That finish was typical Sharp- finds a yard of space and finishes. Superb. However, his influence during a game is reducing. You can see he is trying to adapt by coming deeper and trying to link play but he has lost that half a yard of pace .

Great as a back up, but, if Brewster is out for the season, I think we will need another striker who can go beyond an opposition defence in the JTW

I’d be tempted to get another in anyway. Brewster hasn’t shown anything yet and seems very injury prone, so even if he is back, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he’s out again by the end of the season.

I would agree with that .Billy has been great for us and to slag him off is disgraceful ,he is a Blades hero, but time waits for no man and may be he might slide down the pecking order but he is more than capable of a fill in role for us. After all he has earned us our last 6 points by his finishing . He might not be able to fly around the pitch like a 20 year old but stick him in the penalty area and as he has shown in the last 2 matches he is just the same guy as before when it comes down to finishing.

 

[Working Class Hero]

The movement for that goal was brilliant, and seemed to not get the recognition it deserved. The defender didn't know where he'd gone.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Certainly looks that way. There's plenty on here who have done little else but slag him off since 2015.

“Despise and slag off” are quite far removed from debating whether Billy is still good enough for the team. He is a club legend and will be regarded as such for many years to come

I think he’s deserved a little bit of stick this season, he’s had enough praise over the years. This season he’s looked way off it until the last couple of games so he needs to build on that.

He was out of his depth in the Prem, but most of them were. Every other season he’s been our go-to guy & someone I’ve worried about ‘what happens once he retires’.

If we go up I presume he’ll carry on within our squad, but we can’t be relying on him to be our second choice striker still.

I'd be very surprised if he was retained if we went up. Like you say, he was out of his depth the last time.

I just think they would because we’re quite a sentimental club when it comes to club legends

 

[Katzenjammer]

 

[BushBlade]

Not the best game I’ve ever seen him have but fantastic Jimmy Greaves impression to win it.

 

[DifferentClass]

Get that fat geriatric sold off, legs've gone.

 

[Gimli]

What a great interview by Billy there

 

[FriethBlade]

He's gonna get in trouble for that...although he was spot on

 

[Bugboyblade]

Didn’t hold back there.

 

[Plymouthblade]

Amy like no to see what he said

 

[Flumps]

Any clips of this yet?

I turned off as I assumed it would be a Wrexham/Reynolds circle jerk

 

[Plymouthblade]

Telly American Welsh spunk fest was enough

It was but Billy said summat

 

[coolasanidiot]

It was but Billy said summat

He was honest. He basically said that he was unhappy that the Wrexham players were disrespectful talking this week as though it was a given they would be meeting Spurs in next round. Said it wasn't on to do that and he hadn't liked hearing it. Not really controversial more like plain speaking. Good on him.

 

[Katzenjammer]

I'd like to commend Our Billy for also being our second best defender tonight while I'm at it. Not bad for somebody whose time is up because legs have gone...

 

[Bert]

Bet Bert hates this thread.

On the contrary, it demonstrates Bert's wisdom.

The game's up for Billy at United. That doesn't mean that Bert despises him, far from it.
It just means that he's no longer good enough due to the numbers on his birth certificate.
