6th word in Sheffield. 7th word not United. Tossers

“Their first choice strikeforce is starting to click. Basham and Sharp have been scoring in recent games.

I know our style confuses people but Bash in not a striker

Away from those points, some nice comments re ground and crowd/atmosphere. Shame for Barnet and their fans they'll be no big crowd and I imagine the atmosphere will be flat to say the least.

And half our supporters can’t even spell the names of our players. Other supporters will call us Sheffield, just like some of us say ‘Bristol’ and many will misspell ‘Bramall’, just like Sharpe, Lundstrum, etc. Isn’t it time we got over it?
 
I was starting to warm to the Barnet folk, until I read we were "boring" and a nothing club.
Hope we score 7 now!

And they doubt we will sing the Greasy Chip Butty!!???????
Your very wrong with that assumption me owd!!!
 
I rather like our boring style of play. Defend, defend, defend and then occasionally, very occasionally getting over the halfway line. I like 5-4-1 as a formation. ;)
 



“I had a dream yesterday that we went 2-0 up and left them shell-shocked at half time. Then it was backs to the wall defending, We conceded one to set up a grandstand finish. Then the baby woke me up at 5am…

lol - I had this a few years back when we went to Man U - no baby to wake me up, but it doesn't quite work out like that.............does it Mr Hammond! FFS, that was a school boy tackle he made.

UTB
 
I'm guessing the "boring" is referring to the draw rather than the style of play and it's hard to argue with. A club like Barnet will be hoping for a team from the top of the PL for a third round draw. We shouldn't forget that recent history makes it difficult for us to argue that we aren't a L1 club.
 
“We’ll lose and they’re such a boring side”

this person does realise their playing Sheffield united. unless he only seen 1 match of ours the reading game. if he think we playing boring football. football really isnt for him
--------------------
but this should be straight forward, looking forward to abit of variety nice to not get a team from same division that we usually get. like Ipswich reserves & preston reserves last season & barnet I think they are midtable conference we are 3rd in championship. but like in any FA Cup match, if they get a opening goal & they play game of their life. anything is possible. look at then non league Lincoln 2 years ago they knocked out Brighton who were in similar position to us & Lincoln also knocked out burnley

Although...whenever he gets on the end of the ball in the box it always seems to be on target and travelling at about 80 mph when it leaves his foot.

I think he must have watched the Sheffield Derby this season and got us mixed up, he probably thinks we play in Blue and White stripes. Hope he doesn't end up at S6 on Sunday.

I didn't read it as "they play boring football", which in the context of the draw from a Barnet perspective doesn't make sense. What do they care whether we play exciting football? They want a glory tie and/or to progress. I can understand that the tie, from their point of view, can be seen as boring. They've reached the third round and haven't drawn a "glory" PL club, neither have they drawn a minnow they could seriously hope to beat. It's not going to go down in their history as a memorable tie, nor be noticed by the watching world, unless they do beat us.
 
Cheers Roy.

Absolutely love the idea of Bash playing up front. ARE YOU LISTENING WILDER?
There would be accusations of copying that shower from S6 to contend with as didn't they use Warhurst as an emergency striker and that's without counting on Madine signing ...pork talk will be in meltdown.

Just to qualify that, because it sounds a bit arrogant, by "seriously hope to beat" I mean "be expecting to beat". They can, of course, hope to beat us.

“We’ll lose and they’re such a boring side”

Yes i see how i could have misinterpreted it.
Perhaps Roygbiv could go back and ask him to clarify it lol.
 



Bless them. I kind of wish I was going now.

The club shouldn't charge for RDs 3 & 4 of the FA Cup and RDs 1, 2 & 3 in the league cup. That would see 16-18k there on Sunday. But a really can't be arsed to pay money out for it
