I predict a full forum meltdown tonight.
Three bans, two flouncings and fisticuffs at the back of Argos.

 

[Bobby b]

Been watching sky for 30mins, didnt realise Man City v Liverpool was on first...isn't it?

A. I right in thinking sheffield United are playing tonight

 

[LoughboroBlade]

No - lastly, there’s nobody else.

That as well admittedly. But we’d have hardly been that surprised by him starting ahead of Luke Freeman either if both were fit. In fact it was something of a surprise neither started at Villa. They both offer different options in the same role.

 

[Silent Blade]

Sheffield United are the only Premier League team (that be has faced obviously) that Harry Kane has not scored against.

Need to break that record.

Gary Lineker has never scored (for Leicester or Spurs) against the Blades too.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

I very nearly just posted a thread called ‘Robbed by VAR again’ in anticipation of the now inevitable controversial decision VAR will make against us during the match.

We’ll see whether I should have and saved me doing it later.

 

[Lawrence]

2-1 Blades win

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Brasilian link i am watching,should be fun.

Ive got a NowTv pass from the club still have'nt activated it yet,i'm so lazy.

 

[JayGreen17]

3–0 spurs, only 1 winner in this one with their front line and Bash the liability at the back.

 

[CentralQuay]

Very odd decision from Wilder playing Osborne LCM, Luke Freeman must be wank in training, never seems to get a look in.

I get criticized on here because apparently as a 'non' Sheffield United fan my knowledge on the players/club is limited.

But even I know that Osborn's natural position is a CM, unlike Freeman.

 

[FriethBlade]

3 defensive midfielders - bummer.

So defensive Norwood looks like he's playing centre half. He has to get forward more and.let the back 3 do the easy balls

 

[Greg.]

Playing better than I expected so far, good to see

 

[BangorBlade]

Playing better than I expected so far, good to see

Osborn doesn't look out of place doing well

 

[CentralQuay]

That front 4 is looking worrying whenever it is getting 4v3.

That's two or three times now the final pass/touch has let Spurs down.

 

[BobblesBlade]

Come on you Blades!!!

 

[shrubbery]

How many sodding times does Stephens have to get into a good crossing position before he actually decides to cross it?

 

[BangorBlade]

Get in my son

 

[CentralQuay]

"Berge isn't good enough"

Shove that up your arse.

 

[hull-Blade]

Facking eat that !!!!!!! UTB

 

[shrubbery]

That is a fantastic goal.

 

[nathxnblade]

Oh

 

[BobblesBlade]

That’s how you do it. Get in Berge

 

[essexblade73]

Sander! Fck you doubters

 

[CentralQuay]

oh ffs....

Guess we can blame Berge for that.

 

[BobblesBlade]

And that is how you don’t do it

 

[Bladesman98]

Beautiful bastard

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Twice in last 2 matches we have scored and conceded within minutes. Edited to acknowledge I may have been a bit hasty. It still seems like we are going to sleep straight after a goal.

 

[anty75]

Handball, should disallow it

 

[CentralQuay]

Handball!

But....it's a foul.


So how does this work?

Free kick?

 

[hull-Blade]

Var come on , handball

 

[Freddie]

Love VAR
