[Snowflake]

Enough of every team being difficult. This is a team we should beat comfortably if we play like NYD

 

[Boxer Blade]

4-0

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

A win would be the best outcome for us here

 

[Bl4desutd]

How long have you been supporting the Blades? You ought to know better

 

[Rhyll Grease]

Banana skin....... the intensity shown on NYD should be the minimum in every game.

 

[Chazzer]

Beware new manager syndrome at Oxford. Since Craig Short was appointed they have beaten Southampton and lost narrowly to Ipswich, so don't think they will be pushovers.

 

[Dkc]

Yep it will be a competitive game and they could shock us. They've beaten Ipswich at home too and had a few more decent results

5-0 Blades

Yep but of course we won’t play like NYD every day. Fingers crossed we do but let’s just get it out there not to be arsehole (or is that armchair) critics if it doesn’t go as we hope!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Will those shirts hanging up keep the players focused enough to dominate again? Obviously we should win, Obviously it's not a given, obviously I could be wrong....obviously!!!

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

I predict a comfortable but not stunning win. 2-0, goal in each half. 4th game in 10 days so expect slowdown in 2nd half by both teams.

 

[Cappy]

 

[Dkc]

At least the bottom-left and top second-right remain a mystery

 

[ckpe147]

Really got to make sure we dont take these lightly today... win and keep the momentum going. Then a positive January can really set us up for an exciting end to the season

Game off. Frozen pitch

 

[Vass Borbokis]

Just had a pop up from SSN saying match postponed.
Thought we had underground heating? Somebody forgot to turn it on?

 

[Foxy]

Well that was worth getting togged up for, game off

 

[espoo blade]

That’s not frozen…this is frozen!

 

[Heffernan’s Tash]

Financial problems might be even worse than we think.
If it’s not that it’s incredibly unprofessional to undersoil heating that doesn’t work.

Absolutely brilliant decision by Widler to turn off the heating. Hope he never gets found out.

Yah Pussy. Skiid in -22 in Winnipeg.

 

[Sheffsteel]

I bought 2 extra tickets for people that rarely go. They’ll now be wanting refunds.

The website shows that ticket sales went surprisingly well for this match.
Now it will be moved to a mid week evening kick off and will be a much lower attendance…..losing revenue.

Can only assume it was deliberate and we weren’t bothered about playing it…..otherwise it’s an amateurish error.
Feel sorry for those that have travelled long distances…..disgrace really.

 

[acko17]

just getting on train got off again disgrace underfloor heating either off or broke feel sorry for oxford fans

 

[PaulPeschBlade]

A fucking frozen pitch

A frozen pitch

How’s that even possible

Wilder out

 

[blade too long]

thought we had under soil heating,

 

[themaninblack]

For fuck’s sake, I’ve driven over from Belgium for this and they’ve cancelled the fucking match? What a load of old bollox.
I am fucking livid!

 

[Harry's Game]

Selles had the pitch widened at the start of the season, my guess is the under soil heating doesn’t stretch to the touch lines now.

 

[shrubbery]

Unacceptable really. We have under pitch heating and it was hardly Siberian conditions last night. Just fucks up thr best laid plans of thousands.
