[Greasy Chap Butty]

What is the fucking point.

What we'll come away with if they nick a goal late on to equalise?

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Walker shouldn't want to feyt anyone. It's his favourite team.

 

[jono_t2000]

Morning fam.

It's game day bitchesssss!

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Heard that Grealish had his watch pinched. Might make him late for work.

I will clutch at any straws!

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Can we have the points back when they finally get done for massive, prolonged and sustained cheating making it impossible for us to compete?

No? Didn’t think so.

Bit of a farce really isn’t it.

 

[Loco Blade]

Pissing with rain here in Manchester ( I know it’s a shock ) Blades 0-3 up when match is called off due to unplayable pitch ! Bloody typical

 

[CPB]

Wonder if there might be some surprise squad entries today with 3 starters unavailable?

Might we see osula start even to add pace? Suspect not but who knows.

Equally it probably won't make a difference but like Vs villa take the game in stages. Can we level or better after 20mins, 45, 60, 75 etc.

 

[Dave151]

Good morning from Manchester, current weather, blue skies, 75 degrees, warm westerly breeze, nah just kiddin', it's 6 deg & hoochin down! Just a heads up to anyone travelling over by car, there are new parking restrictions being introduced around the ground, it's being introduced gradually so I can't be specific as it's literally changing day by day. Basically it's a resident's only scheme extending from Ancoats to Droylsden, there is still street parking but it's becoming scarcer. All the best.

 

[Loco Blade]

There’s parking on Bradford Road near gas works at least 3 . They all charge £10 to park . Safe takes about 10-15min walk to ground

 

[petcharlie]

I dont know if I can watch it . Nerves .

 

[jt64]

I dont know if I can watch it . Nerves .

I could have understood this sort of attitude on Boxing Day, but this one? We're stupid to one against for a reason, there's nothing riding on it, it's the definition of a free hit

 

[aj72]

Betfred: Draw/United-50/1, City/United-100/1.. thinking heart b4 head here, but ye never know. Worth a fiver on each maybe! UTB!!!

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

Let’s see, since Brian Gayle’s double in the 3-2 defeat at Maine Road in 1991-2, our results away v City are:

0-2
0-0
0-0
0-0
0-6
0-0
0-0
0-2
0-1

I will be stunned if we score.

For or against ?

 

[1973Blade]

At least we have the bigger squad (and one if their number is retired in memory of Marc Vivien Foe).

 

[straight_outta_compton]

I'm sure wilder will be reminding players that today is what it's all about, all those training sessions, long recovery from injuries, and classroom tactics sessions: you're playing against the best club side in the world, give it all you've got and make sure you leave citeh with your heads held high!

UTB!!!

 

[BigBed]

COME ON BLADES!!

 

[Berkshire Blade]

This side is worse than the one we had in the fa. Up semi final missing two man city loans
That's some going after promotion to the premier league.

 

[Bell4]

Suicide line up

Hard enough without throwing it

 

[raimond]

Suicide line up

Hard enough without throwing it

On the way to the ground, fucking delighted.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Osula, Brooks and Slimane.

The weakest front three Pep Guardiola has ever faced in a league game in his entire managerial career.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

My fckin days...luke thomas...fckin hell

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Wilder trying to get sacked already with that line up

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

It's a bit high up. Should have brought me opera glasses.

 

[Bell4]

On the way to the ground, fucking delighted.

You poor poor chap

 

[Revolution]

Osula, Brooks and Slimane.

The weakest front three Pep Guardiola has ever faced in a league game in his entire managerial career.

We don’t have a front three. We have Osula chasing shadows. That’s it.

 

[Solihull Blade]

Perhaps he’s saving players for the Gills?

 

[1973Blade]

Can we keep the two goals to attack into to even things up?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Nowt to be afraid of anyway - we almost beat high flying Luton last week. Let's be having their pants down!

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Suicide line up

Hard enough without throwing it

Would someone be kind enough to post the line up - I can’t find it anywhere.

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Reminds me of that day at Palace just before the 2021 window where he brought Hackford on to show he was unhappy with the squad depth. I don’t disagree mind, we have lots of back up players but none really Premier League ready at the moment.
