24/04/10 - Sheffield United v. Swansea City

[Linz]

As requested, a match thread.

This is the place for:

• Predictions
• Line ups
• In-game chatter
• Post-match reaction

I'm expecting a typical end of season performance from United as we just go through the motions.

The essex clan will be making an appearance at the lane for this match

 

[Linz]

And as ever, we will be outside the Golden Lion to bid farewell to this rather strange season with a few drinkies.

Do come and say hello if you're around

 

[essex blade]

usually meet up with me old dad in the queens road club before match, he wont go anywhere else.

 

[S64 Blade]

I'll be there. I always enjoy the last home games of the season (ignoring the Wigan match). It's generally a nice day and we seem to win!

 

[Greg]

Sheffield United 3-1 Swansea.

 

[LouTheBlade]

I just want us to win to see Blackpool in the playoffs. They're rubbish :lol: and will probably get hammered.

Would love it if they went up!

I got the drunkest of the season versus swansea at home last year. Apparently was in the lion after the match.

I would say that you were out of it in the Lion after the match

Good times Stevey-boy, good times!

If you asked me to describe this season in 2 words I can safely say that 'rather strange' would not feature even if I did it a million times.

I'm extremely glad the season is over and look forward to watching 11 full time employees next term, even if Blackwell is in charge. It will make a big difference. Roll on the World Cup and the transfer window.

When I read Linz's post I pictured 'Arkwright' out of 'Open all Hours' doing his end of day monologue whilst he brought his fruit and veg inside for the evening... "eee its been a strange old season really"

Anyway....

Following the changes of plans and giving my Pigs Away ticket away last week, Hash clouds permitting, I will be in attendance for Swansea, I'll be in the Lion pre and possibly post match... I'd really like us to go out on a high and beat a team thats above us...

 

[Maidenhead]

All I want is a good day out and a Cardiff win

A franchise F.C win would be good too.

 

[Linz]

I'll be in the Lion pre and possibly post match...

We'll be stood outside in the sunshine as ever. Look for someone that looks like a portly Gok Wan (Shorehamview), Lou from Neighbours (Silverfox), Minty from Eastenders (Tony) and an excitable ginger (Keenzy)

Should be a nice day according to the weather forecast.

As you can probably tell... I'm more concerned about sitting outside the pub than the football for Saturday.

Will anyone be staying behind after the match to watch the customary "lap of honour"?

 

[SwissBlade]

Cheers Linz,

Well if the weathers anything like we've got in Sunny Zug today then it'll be a cracking day!

Can't beat a nice sunny pre match outside the Lion! I'll be the one staring at people wondering if they are Gok Wan and other odd looky-likes!

I'll no doubt stay for the lap of honour and to thank Blacky in his last game

If it's announced that it's Hoofy's last game I might even join in, before going and depositing £299 in the ticket office.
