It's nice to be nasty.

[Harry's Game]

We put the foot in a few times today and I was pleased to see it, we to have to be a bit more subtle about it than Maceverly was as he should have seen red, but we have been a push over for the last two or three seasons with a team of lightweights so it's about time we got stuck in.

Warnock and Bassett both released that if you don't have the players to out play the opposition then do all you can to stop the other side playing their game.

We did that today, we won't many popularity contests with oposing fans but basically balls to em.

And will you lose a moments sleep worrying about it?

A Cov supporting mate of mine sent me a message saying "Thuggery 1 Total Football 0". I can't wait to see him, hopefully I'll have stopped laughing by then.

 

[Tyler Durden]

100% agreed.

We've been crying out for some backbone all season. I'm glad we had a bit of bastard about us today and it's very enjoyable to have given our opponents a very unpleasant time for the first time in ages. Nobody should feel comfortable coming to the Lane.

You'll have to tell that cunt that total football wasn't good enough.

I'll start by asking him that apart from two good shots on goal, easily dealt with by 9/10 Long, what real quality their team brought to BDTBL today.

And more pertinently, why were the Sky Blues not wearing, erm, Sky Blue.

Because their home kit has a lot of white on it. I bet their fans don't whine like a bunch of fannies about it though

 

[OllyBlade]

Love it when some fans get it into their heads that their team plays 'proper football' and then get on their high horse about it. Remind me which team it was that had a man sent off today?

Ahh... despite living too close to Coventry, I have failed to take enough notice of their shirt... Am proud to say.

 

[JJ Sefton]

It was, frankly, hilarious that after McEveley's tackle they ended up with 10 men. But, fuck it, that's the game. I'm glad to see us put a bit of it about. I look forward to Coutts beasting Fellani in January.

[JJ Sefton]

True, I don't expect it to be Sean Connery vs Robert Shaw.

 

[zablade]

Some of the best footballers have also been nasty bastards, from Johnny Giles to Paul Scholes and at our place Michael Brown was a good footballer and also a right dirty git.

If we can just decide which out of Basham, Hammomd or Coutts we want to to be the midfield work horse and tr and sign a couple of creative players to play around them.

(Assuming Baxter is finished)

 

[Bladebri]

Vinnie Jones would have been proud of the lads fighting spirit today.

Total football? Because they passed it around a little bit with absolutely no end product?

Bloody hell, your mate is a moron.

Agreed. Fleck, Murphy, Lameiras ≠ Cruyff, Neeskens, Rep

Which is why I had to share it...

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

We'll get Cov fans calling us "toilet trash" though...




Great to have a bit of that Blades nastiness back.
(Even the ballboys are fucking the opposition off. Great stuff.)

 

[OllyBlade]

Indeed. Isn't the point about 'total football' also meant to be that there are no fixed positions in the team but instead complete fluidity and that all players contribute to attack and defence alike? Regardless of how nicely one feels Coventry played football, that was hardly their approach.

That was fantastic!

 

[sitwell]

They've obviously been told to be more aggressive and get into the opposition ,shame Baxter chose to do it in a pub.

 

[Bladesman]

"Straight through 118!"

 

[derryblade]

I'm pretty sure we will face more physical sides than Coventry before the seasons over and will lose more than we win in those battles even with our alleged new found nasty streak

 

[HillmortonBlade]

"Straight through 118!"

How's that not a yellow? Spectacular? yes, but hardly a red.

 

[PeteBlade]

"Straight through 118!"

Why did he go down holding his head?

 

[derryblade]

"Straight through 118!"

Thought a red card at the time and still think a red card now lucky lad.

 

[blade.i.am]

Not quite in the George Santos class but a good effort nonetheless

 

[bartman]

Why did he go down holding his head?

He banged his head as he hit the ground. At the time I thought it was a yellow but given these days of clamping down.on agressive tackles he was probably lucky to stay on the pitch

 

[SB_90]

I prefered us under Neil warnock when we intimated teams & got stuck in. I remember the infamous arsenal game where jags was in net for 1/2hr. Where Morgan punched van persie in the chest sneakily to stop him jumping
