[Athens Blade]

Why is there loads of seats empty? Not said on Finnish tv commentary here, is it due to them protesters?

They are the corporate seats

 

[BangorBlade]

Were doing ok UTB

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

We came back against Wrexham and Blackburn, sooooooooo.....it aint over

 

[robbiez666]

They had it on super slow motion and it looked like Jebbo didn't touch the ball, but either way he caught the man after, so a pen I reckon.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Guardian live report literally says Jebbo prodded the ball away, but also made contact with the player????

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

One hour, one down, could be worse.

One hour, one down, could be worse.

And is

 

[originaltrueblade]

Lowe FFS

 

[Richeee]

And that's why Clark should have played instead of that non footballer lowe

 

[forte]

He gets a touch on the ball.

Lol doesnt matter if you get a touch, you will be penalised for the challenge. Clear penalty, no discussion. Sloppy defending by Jebbo. Period.

 

[Headshrinker]

Another mistake and match is over.

Good effort though.

 

[JJBlade]

3rd fucking time that dozy cunt has lost the ball
What sort of fucking brain dead twat doesn't fucking get it after nearly costing us twice already, the fucking thick cunt

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

But with Eddie Calhoun, promotion is soon....

 

[forte]

It was a penalty every day of the week. Unfortunate but Jebbo took 99% player and 1% ball. Good show overall

Exactly. The touch doesnt change anything in this particular case.

 

[Jon Bon II]

It's like playing a side with ten Ndiaye's in.

You think its okay to use this kind of language towards our own players? Come on, are you 12 years old? Its very poor by Lowe, everyone will agree, but we get behind our team, ok?

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Boy am I glad we stopped Haaland or we could be on for a hammering...oops

 

[HD8 Blades]

we’ve been excellent against arguably the best team in world todaa

 

[bakeblade]

Another mistake and match is over.

Good effort though.

For a Premier league team in waiting, this has been an unacceptable performance.
Unforced errors, complete lack of ball control.
Next season is going to be horrendous

 

[jono_t2000]

Glad the blades fans in the stands are enjoying and singing the game more than the whining babies on here

Who would have thought people would be slating the team in a game like this lol.

 

[The Crab]

Mcb needed to do better there

 

[Corkblade]

Wednesday night is all that matters now

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

For a Premier league team in waiting, this has been an unacceptable performance.
Unforced errors, complete lack of ball control.
Next season is going to

You do know we are playing a team that beat Bayern Munich 3-0? So we are no better or worse than them? I'll take that

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Great experience for those that play and good for them

 

[YES Blade]

For a Premier league team in waiting, this has been an unacceptable performance.
Unforced errors, complete lack of ball control.
Next season is going to be horrendous

Luckily, the other 18 teams we’ll be playing aren’t as good as Man City!

 

[BritishSteel]

The match is lost but I would really like Illy to score one ( a proper mazy mindfuck kind of goal ) just so the premier league knows the kind of horrors that await them next season.

 

[shrubbery]

I think we’ve been excellent - just undone by a few completely avoidable individual errors.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

I'd love to see Billy get number 250 at Wembley. If there is a God, he will want that to happen

 

[Stannington Blade]

My thoughts:
For the most part we have defended excellently.
The way Man City play is attritionally. They never stop moving. Never stop probing. Every little mistake or off movement is punished.
This is a team that have hammered top level teams in the championship league.

When you're having to concentrate so hard for so long the fatigue is not just in your legs but in the split second decision making. The issue being they need just a split second to make you look a fool.

3 goals, 3 mistakes. That's exactly their game plan. It's their same one every week.

The lads have ran themselves into the floor. If this is a Swan song for the legends like Sharp, Bash, Fleck etc then it's not the worst way. Oh, that and gunning for a 3rd promotion in the next few weeks.

Regardless, I'm proud of them and all of you who have been able to get down.

UTB!!

Well said, mate. I think you've summed it up perfectly.
