Heading down to the Madejski for this one - would take a draw now!

 

[dutchblade]

Will be there!

With the way they are going especially at home, maybe we could win this one.

True, but they are bound to improve before the end of the season and we certainly haven't had the best of records against them recently.

True our record against them is awful

 

[Linz]

The Reading fans think this game is as important to them as it is to us...

Sheff U at home is now MASSIVE

As an aside, does it really bug anyone else when other teams refer to us as "Sheffyoo"?

Not as much as 'Sheffield'. One of my mates is a doghead, and he still insists on referring to both sides in the city as 'Sheffield'. Does my biscuit in.

Got our tickets for the Mad-jetski yesterday, a draw would be ok but I've got a sneaky feeling we'll do e'm. Just hope there's a good following from the Blades to get behind the lads.:thumbup:

We'll be there

I think I'm the designated driver though again, if only you'd made me fail the test

Boots on the other foot this time mate, think we're going via shreds coach tours, so hopefully I'll be shitfaced!
Hated it when I saw everyone in that pub in Sheperds bush and I could'nt have a beer.

 

[happyhippy]

Ha ha! The Shred Mystery Tours Ltd! What a legend that man is! It has been a while since I went on one, but you're guaranteed a laugh and a beer.

Brownie will remember Burnley a few years ago, where we travelled in a newly described weather system, called "Shred Heat", via most of Calderdale. Cracking beer we had in the pub at Hebden Bridge though (coppers stopped us from going via Todmorden, apparently).

 

[Samantha]

Well I'll be at work... just like a normal Saturday match. Pah. Hope it's a Good Friday for the rest of you though!!

 

[dutchblade]

Feels sorry for you Sam.

 

[BexleyBlade]

Will be there. Anyone know of a good pub among the retail attraction that is the mad stad?

See HERE BB... you'll need to get a park and ride bus from the ground into the town centre though

 

[BexleyBlade]

Appreciated our superior overlord

 

[rustysufc]

Ill be there. Think £27 is abit expensive for the coach though, so ill prob end up drivin!

 

[Linz]

Every match is important, but this is a biggy.

If we win, we'll go into the weekend second with a superior goal difference. Birmingham are then away to Charlton on Saturday.

What are we thinking for this one?

There's a car park at the ground... be careful that you park in the marked bays however, I know Mousey and debbyblade have received a ticket before

short interview with Chris Armstrong on Reading Post site http://www.getreading.co.uk/

 

[tenerifeblade]

I always liked Chris Armstrong at the Lane and wish we had kept him. He was a Sheffield United type player who got stuck in and always gave his all.

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Good luck tomorrow Blades.

 

[Kev Gee]

With our fantastic away record i really hope we can lay the Reading hoo-doo to rest! Come on Blades!

 

[rachyblade]

Robbed this off another site, just thought it was interesting.

1 Wolves 56
2 Reading 49
3 Brum 47
4 Burnley 43
5 Cardiff 40
6 Sheff Utd 37

That was the league at christmas - played 24 games. Just shows how our season has turned.

I'll be there tomorrow, and hoping we get the 3 points. A point will do tho. And even if we lose, its not the end of the world.

 

[SotonBlade]

2-0 Blades, Done!

Think this year is ours!

 

[bricktop]

2-0 Blades, Done!

Think this year is ours!

Thats the sort of prediction that puts a jinx on things.

I honestly would not like to predict what will happen but i hope that we can come away with at least something

 

[Kev Gee]

If we do end up in the Play Offs i hope we dont finish 3rd. The 3rd placed team never wins the final!

 

[SotonBlade]

everyone goes on about, we never win at Reading, 3rd never wins the final etc. But at the end of the day every record is broken at sometime, this season is the time to break records!

 

[Come from away]

Let's enjoy what we're doing and where we are in the league. I think it's great. Up the Blades!!

100% agree mate.
