50 up

[diplomat]

Tomorrow I will be in attendance at my 50th league ground.

Despite being a bad news day I expect a memorable day out with 6,000 of my fellow blades who will get behind the players on the pitch. United behind them and our effort to get out of this league and hopefully consign our deluded neighbours to another season of bumbling around below us. It could be a special day. Let's back those who haven't made decisions along the lines of other so called professionals.

UTB

Good stuff Diplo. Unfortunately, I think you'll see plenty of scrapping between United fans re Evans. Hope not but we specialise in it.

Do you think so? Am I missing the point that we'll be fighting amongst ourselves?

I really hope not. If anyone thinks a rendition of 'shag who he wants' is funny or supportive will hopefully be shouted down (if it happens) but I can't see any in fighting. The next three games and what rests on them is more important to the club than the actions of one man.

Despite a good season I don't think it's as emotive as say, the Bassett out v Bassett can do no wrong fighting that happened in the past - and that was only small numbers that I remember.

Not sure about how prevalent that song has become, but when I first heard it months ago, it was quickly hushed up.

Most people here have separated the non footballing case with the football side of things.

The lads need support tomorrow. We will not see a number 9 shirt in our squad for the remainder of this season, but it doesn't mean that we'll play with 10 men either. The players know the job they need to do, one last sprint to the line.

It's about discipline on the pitch and based on the emotive element of the ched case, I guess it needs the same in the stands

38 for me tomorrow. Not looking forward to it half as much now as I was 24 hours ago but not to say it can't still be an away day to tell the grand kids.

We can still do this Blades.

My first away game was an awful 0-0 getting squashed at the dingles in the cup. Late 80's. My point of posting was that over many years I've seen many versions of united. Despite liking individuals it's always been united that keeps me going. I want tomorrow to be something I'll remember forever. Loads of us. Loads of noise. A win. A Wednesday loss. I don't want any individual overshadowing it. The team should perform for themselves and for us. If they feel aggrieved about ched and that helps to motivate them then great, I'll take that.

Something akin to a couple of my favourites 5-0 at Bradford or 3-1 at the sty will be right up my street.
