[Edgar Allan Poo]

First and last and Always

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Any reason to watch it?

 

[Bl4desutd]

Going to the bitter end….always a good day out and atmosphere at Derby

 

[KMC-1889]

Any reason to watch it?

See Derby beat Hull & Wrexham to that last p/o spot.

 

[loveWalrusDaveTheBlade]

Any reason to watch it?

Because the Blades are playing.

 

[ekke287]

Going today and in the home end with a derby mate. I’m painfully uninterested in going tbh!

Lots of Blades at the train station obvs so likely a good following!

Also seen some 1990’s piglet shirts…

Any reason to watch it?

It will be much more interesting watching sky sports news and how the rest of the Championship unfolds

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Because the Blades are playing.

If only they would. I fear they might just show up and not play!!

[SB_90]

what could possibly go wrong today. derby at home, desperate for a win to get in the playoffs v a sheffield united team who cant defend & been on the beach since easter monday

 

[South Sea Blade]

Enjoy watching Sydie and Gus in Blades colours.

 

[Harry's Game]

Neil Warnock preparing for his stint as summariser on Sky Sports

Are we really playing in white away at Derby?

 

[Greg.]

Would be nice to end the season on positive goal difference.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Are we really playing in white away at Derby?

No.

 

[Harry's Game]

Never had Betts on the final day of the season before..

We did have a few Bets floating around however that time we lost at Wimbledon on the final day in 1992.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I hope Derby beat us and get in the play offs, and I think they will

 

[jt64]

Learn nothing right up until the end of the season. Never change United

 

[Menage a petit pois]

Never ever want a team to beat us and today is no different. I couldn't give a shit about the playoffs and the permutations...I do however, care about my football club. ALWAYS HAVE. . ALWAYS WILL. UTB!!

A home banker you would think, unless Derby shit the bed which I doubt they will

 

[Boxer Blade]

Betts is an England under 17 goalkeeper, didn't know that!

 

[SB_90]

10/11 seems a great bet for derby

 

[radio]

For Derby to get play offs , need to beat us with neither Wrexham or Hull winning , although a draw would be enough if Wrexham and Hull both lose
I have no personal preference as to which of the 3 get the final play off spot , other than I want us to win today ,

Thought it was Clive.

Felt guilty about one side of the city not paying their full council tax.

Probably come along to tell us when to expect our council tax rebate. Just need to know if that will be 75% back or 94% returned. #rememberfairness?

Yawn.

Yawn.

We’ll probably all be yawning in an hour or so.
