Match Thread Aston Villa v The Mighty Blades

[Antonb]

Yes but we need that second goal! Duffy on for odowall

 

[Iceybabey]

Dowells's block on Jedinak for the goal got Alan knill written all ore it that set piece.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Thoughts on Madine so far ? Seems to be a nuisance but doesnt look dangerous or like scoring.

 

[FriethBlade]

I tell you what....no matter the result....we are a very good side. First half.an hour they hardly had a kick. As you would expect they came into it a bit more towards the end of the half.

A second would be nice but the fact we haven't heard a peep out of the Villa fans tells you how much we have been on top

Think he’s OK but slows our play down. Holding pattern until Didsy and Duffy come on.

Haven’t lost a league game when winning at HT for over Five years according to Sky pundit.

Really?

COYRAWW

This will be the game that signals our intention of going up this season. If we have won this by the time full time comes around the majority of Blades fans will believe.

This is a great time to be a Blade, we are going up!

Not lost in 40 odd when Bill has scored

 

[sheff_blade90]

all the worries about pressure, going away to big team. could go top. alleyed great 1st half. just 45 to go

 

[Iceybabey]

Quality, don't care if it's dubious.

 

[bornandbred]

Billy hattrick.101.Brilliant.

 

[Old Programme seller]

Tbh the ref should have blown but that’s not our fault...ooooo and we’ve just scored again with Our Billy

 

[Mendi]

Quality

Friday nights don’t get much better than this. Enjoy all!!

Currently in a mad, packed A&E Department at the Northern General with septicaemia. Feeling understandably fed up. Then saw free WiFi. Straight to United's match. 0-2! Yes! Billy Sharp! Trouble is if I run around or bounce I wet myself. Not good.

 

[Kryten]

 

[HopeValleyBlade]

0-3! I am going to embarrass myself.

 

[Iceybabey]

Why did I not get a ticket

Tightshirt was a nuisance.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Norwich taking shade!

 

[BigBed]

Can't wait for the "View From Villa"!

 

[HydeParkBlade]

Don't fuck it up united.

 

[FriethBlade]

That's why Henderson might be signable !

 

[S5_Blade]

No clean sheet, were fucking shit!

 

[Lawrence]

United stopped playing again, very Sloppy! when will we ever learn?

 

[Old Programme seller]

Hopefully that error may put off any possible suitors

 

[Davalon]

Started with DMcG being unprofessional in not giving the easy cross for 4-0 and then sloppy marking and poor keeping.

 

[grafikhaus]

 

[FriethBlade]

Need Dowell or Duffy on the pitch. Can't keep hold of the ball

 

[silver blade]

So another Friday night game for us on TV with the trip to Villa Park. Extraordinarily difficult game in my opinion, and far less confident that some of my fellow Blades seem. Having said that, I'm sure if we play at or close to our best, we should get some kind of positive result....

Anyway...

Any team news?

Hogan cannot play against his parent team...

Go with the same side which started v Bolton?

Or slot the 2 new ones in with Duffy to come on from the bench?

But how to fit with Dowell and McGoldrick...

CW to figure all that out...

History in this fixture is very much against us, with very little success occuring for us at Villa Park. However they seem to draw a few, and aren't playing too well at the moment according to their fans. They're missing a couple of important players so tonight's as good a chance as we'll have any time soon. 2-3 to the Mighty Blades, but that's definitely a heart made prediction...

Safe journey all
