Luckily I don't have BT sport so will not be watching the shit we dish up.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

One of the S24SU members hard a proper hard on for Oztumer, might have been WWF I think. I think he was a more fervent advocate of Oztumer than Ricky was of Luke Freeman!

 

[petcharlie]

Lawro's prediction.

Bristol Rovers 0-2 Sheffield United

Oh no! He always gets it wrong.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Lose 2- 0, confidence is low as soon as we concede 1 it’s game over, that’s what there manager will be telling them.

 

[Drunk blade]

We need to win this game... The league is over for us, at least have a bit of a run in the Cup...

Prediction: 1 0 to Bristol Rovers

 

[Aganarama]

Will this be out Oldham ZDS moment?
All we need to do then is sign a combative midfield general and someone with an eye for goal & magic left foot...

 

[Silent Blade]

Oh no! He always gets it wrong.

Not this season

 

[Crafty Blade]

We will win
This is the match where our players know that we are expected to win
Players in need of confidence ie Brewster and Burke ( if fit) will show there extra class and pace against an inferior team
Other premiership teams may have sussed out or previous game plan, I doubt that Bristol will be that astute

Anyways what is wrong with being positive fir a change, our luck had to change at some stage. This could be our zenith data cup match of 30 years ago

Bristol ROVERS

 

[robbiez666]

I can't remember whether they're still doing replays for this, but if not lose on pens....

We'll win, 3-0.

 

[varkanoid]

Its penalties, no replays.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

We will nick this 2-1.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

We’re not scoring today!

 

[From the pig end]

Have I read correctly that we only have 16 players available today?

 

[Dnblade]

Please just win a game of football Blades
I expect this to be tough though, potential banana skin, they'll be well up for it.
Hopefully we get the win but I can see Rovers 1 United 1...Gas on penalties.

 

[Yogi]

Have I read correctly that we only have 16 players available today?

That’s what the interviewer said in the pre match.

 

[Russ]

Today is the day Wilder!

It’s the loan from the HFS, or the bank manager’s happy. Or worse than that.

 

[YES Blade]

Probably better if we lose, the last thing I need is extra matches I’ve got to watch.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Not this season

This season it's a easy as saying a horse with 4 legs will win the Derby/Oaks/National it's that nailed-on.

Wouldn't surprise me if we lost by a hatful. 3-0 Gas

 

[Stegosaurus]

Hi Stegosaurus here

Reckon this could be an embarrassing one. 1-0 loss thanks to a defensive cockup, we'll have 2 shots on target. Depending on if Britsol capitalise on Ramsdale's butterfingers, it could be a 2-0.

[Dnblade]

Just noticed Madine is likely to be in the their line up.. nailed on to score, and that little nuisance Oztumer ffs.. I'll adjust my 1-1 and Gas on Pens to 2-2 and Gas on pens.

No Madine in their line up, if you are thinking of Gary ? He plays for Blackpool

 

[Pedro Verde]

Erhun Otzumer got linked with us a few times when he was at Walsall also.

Dont mention Walsall
Didnt he score a couple against us

 

[Dnblade]

Right, yeah I got that wrong, must have looked at Blackpool's line up by mistake..2-0 Blades.

 

[S40BLADE]

Not only that but was a always dangerous against us for Posh as well.

 

[metalblade]

I had a dream it ended 3-3 and Bristol won on penalties

 

[Geordie Blade]

Have I read correctly that we only have 16 players available today?

That’s what the interviewer said in the pre match.

I think it was sixteen outfield players.

 

[YorkBlade]

Here is a match preview which I filmed midway through a police interrogation:

 

[Guesty]

I think it was sixteen outfield players.

Four 'keepers on the bench it is then.
