[Karaoke Blade]

I've lumped £50 on Man U to win. Anything to make the pain slightly less.

 

[Silent Blade]

Once every 2000 years or so. So who knows?

I saw us win twice at Old Trafford in 1973

 

[bakeblade]

We have to go 4 4 2 for this one with Egan out. If we play a five with Jags we'll get hammered so there's nothing to lose by changing it. Ampadu and Basham at the back with Baldock and Stevens. Play Bogle on right with Norwood, Lunny and Fleck, then any two up front as they won't get a kick anyway.

That would be my lineup, with Didsy in front of midfield and Burke up front. Play deep and frustrate the hell out of them

 

[Davalon]

Can we just say "nope, don't fancy it" to this one, is that allowed?

You can ask to miss certain monthly repayments so I don't see why not

What do you win? About a quid?

 

[ancientblade]

FFS! It’s bad enough we have to play at the weekends without a midweek shit show thrown in.

I’ve never felt this low supporting the Blades before. At least under Clough and Adkins in League One we won some matches and it wasn’t a guaranteed defeat before a ball had even been kicked.

you are obviously too young to remember may 81 now that was depressing

 

[Davalon]

Can't wait to see Bruno Fernandes running up to the ref every 2 minutes crying like a gimp. Think Norwood might see red if he boots him. Man U's fire power is obscene.

How do you know a gimp's crying?

 

[Iceybabey]

Baldock will start

 

[Bladesince59]

3973 then.

 

[YES Blade]

Correct I am too young, but that was a single moment. This is months and months of record breaking shit football, it’s like torture!

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Think we could get a bit of a hammering tonight, although it would be much worse if he plays a back four with Bash and Ampadu as I saw suggested earlier.

 

[Bladedog]

Hope we're gonna be wearing black armbands for Luton tonight..no excuses if not

 

[Numpty's Dusty Ruts.]

yeah I've got dentist to look forward to at 8am next morning. Nothing like that to cheer you up over what might happen previous night. (Hope not )

My dentist is a Grunter!

 

[Bladesman98]

We in pink tonight?

 

[SilkyBlade]

I have a horrible feeling Jags is starting....downing Powerade on his way in to ground!

 

[Half Bond Jls]

How do you know a gimp's crying?

I shouldn't really be saying on here

 

[Davalon]

Jags in goal, Rammers CH.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I’m genuinely dreading tonight. First match I’ve dreaded for a long time, and Saturday will be even worse

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Worried for a spanking against manure.

A spanking is on the cards, might have time for the match as well

 

[RammyBlade]

Any ideas on how to watch if not got BT sport ?

 

[originaltrueblade]

I was hoping it was postponed

 

[originaltrueblade]

Team

 

[SilkyBlade]

Team

Oh god

 

[Bladesman98]

Our counter attacks will be interesting

 

[lepton blade]

Any ideas on how to watch if not got BT sport ?

You want to watch it? You’re a braver man than I. Think I’ll stick with Winterwatch.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Oh god

Not good mate it’s not good

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

That line-up is quite something.

 

[Drunk blade]

Team

Why no youth players on the bench?? The lad who came on against Palace looked every bit as good as brewster

 

[bakeblade]

A spanking is on the cards, might have time for the match as well

6 on bench tonight, and we don't need any loans??

 

[bornablade]

January 5 years ago we should have come away from Old Trafford with a draw.
