At some point (maybe not today) I'd like to see Burke along with Billy and Goldy. If Billy isn't having to collect and hold, backing into players and giving free kicks away, he could do what he's best at and get on the end of Burke's deliveries. Just a thought...

 

[JPSharpy93]

If the players feel like I do tonight, we've got fuck all to lose so why cant we go and bag all 3 points? What can a win do for your confidence? lets find out...Come on you Blades!!!!

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Lunny --- Norwood ---- Fleck



Best midfield we have had whilst in the prem , why did wilder stop playing it ?



Baffled

 

[Toronto Blade]

Let's see if the midfielders can actually drive forward and help the forwards instead of sideways, backwards.

 

[Camden Blade]

Lunny --- Norwood ---- Fleck



Best midfield we have had whilst in the prem , why did wilder stop playing it ?



Baffled

Because all three have been dire.

 

[metalblade]

If Carrol plays on Ampadu he will get a bag full, would have sooner had Bryan playing instead of the Chelsea dud.

 

[YES Blade]

Home win.

You know we’re at home tonight don’t you? Just checking.

 

[BladesOnToast]

A 1-0 Newcastle win on the cards, anyone? This season, we've seen them shithouse wins and draws in matches where they've been totally outplayed.

NUFC need the 1-0 to complete the set

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Wilson must be looking at the back line and licking his lips, 0-2.

 

[Lawrence]

Ampadu keeps getting a game?

 

[Wooden Blade]

Tudor, Hope, Ford.

Franz Carr Keith Kettleborough Keith Gillespie Wayne Quinn Gary Speed Ian Rush Des Hamilton

 

[CentralQuay]

You know we’re at home tonight don’t you? Just checking.

Yes.

Newcastle aren't anything special

 

[YES Blade]

Yes.

Newcastle aren't anything special

We’ve played plenty of teams that aren’t anything special and pretty much lost to them all!

 

[Stevo]

Imagine if that had flown in off of Wilson's arse

 

[HeySethUTB]

Imagine if that had flown in off of Wilson's arse

Would have been a reyt bummer.

 

[HeySethUTB]

The run Burke keeps making is classic Billy Sharp, nice to see.

 

[Arcott]

Cross the fucking ball

 

[SUFCinks]

Fucking great start! Some really nice play. This is more like it

 

[Drunk blade]

Why won't they cross the ball

 

[HeySethUTB]

Fucking do want! Brillant football that.

 

[SUFCinks]

Like prime barca tonigh!

 

[YES Blade]

Fucking great start! Some really nice play. This is more like it

Agreed, we’re looking good, we’ve had starts like this many times this season and faded.

Hopefully tonight will be different

 

[BangorBlade]

Good start, moving it about nicely

 

[Bladesman98]

Got to keep this up

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Fleck asleep and Lunny bad decisions everyone fairly decent

 

[Arcott]

Great start but still lacks that final decent ball.

 

[Iceybabey]

What has happened to Fleck ffs?

 

[HeySethUTB]

Bogle at it as well. You can keep this up lads.

 

[Stevo]

20 mins in and I haven't either chucked something at the TV or stomped off to the fridge shouting obscenities

 

[BlairBlade]

If I complain about Fleck and say how much time does he want on the ball !!! Maybe he'll score our winner!
