[BaldyBlade]

McBurnie on. Game over. Down to 10.
Hope I'm wrong.
UTB

It might stick up top a bit more

 

[SUFCinks]

Pointless having 4 up front when we dont have the ball

 

[Swinton Blade]

McBurnie on. Game over. Down to 10.
Hope I'm wrong.
UTB

What you on about. A McBurnie equaliser coming up.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Still, 3 points from two Manchester games...good return. 4 would be nicer though.

 

[FredZeppelin]

It might stick up top a bit more

Wish I had your faith in him, pal.
UTB

 

[Arcott]

Why Basham? Surely Norwood should have been pulled off

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Forcing a corner would be interesting

 

[BangorBlade]

We normally look better with 3 up front and chasing a game

 

[FredZeppelin]

What you on about. A McBurnie equaliser coming up.

If you're right, pal...the beers are on me!
UTB

 

[originaltrueblade]

Taking Basham off no no no no

 

[FriethBlade]

Going for it. Despite us not holding on to the ball this has been brilliant game management so far. Just need the one chance for Billy

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Should be some injury time here

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Had to count Man City’s players - no chance they have 11 players. 12, 13 maybe.

 

[Mojo]

Ref is a cock

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Clearly gets the ball there

 

[Mojo]

These commentators are the shittest commentator's I've ever heard.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

LUNDSTRAM YOU COCK

 

[YES Blade]

How boring is this to watch? Yes it’s effective, but it’s fucking boring watching Man City playing keep ball!

 

[Lawrence]

Five players around Billy’s first touch

 

[Iceybabey]

Boldock's been poor

 

[BettingBlade]

I know it's City but it's so frustrating watching us trying to keep hold of the ball.

Not a chance we score a goal like the winner on Wednesday against these.

 

[JackSUFC]

That was the chance

 

[Mojo]

Fleck omg thought it was in

 

[ryza]

Wow fleck! If there was something in this game, that was it

 

[BangorBlade]

City are hanging on now

 

[HeySethUTB]

We look good moving the ball for the first few passes. Then we give it away cheaply, make the wrong decision or take a bad touch. The last two games has been 80% the United we know. Happy with the performance tho.

 

[Mojo]

Come on blades let's get a goal

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

City are hanging on now

2 foul throws, Citey hanging on...what a strange season

 

[HeySethUTB]

Fleck has been outstanding again.

 

[FriethBlade]

This is good, Fleck very unlucky
