Let’s hope we never play on a Monday again. I can deal with Tuesdays / Wednesdays as normally everyone else plays but what is the actual point of Monday night games?? Fuck off Sky.

This long wait for kick-off is driving me nuts. All there is on the telly at the moment is bloody gymnastics.
All matches should kick off at 3 pm for the first day of the season.

Good luck tonight you Blades. Once upon a time we used to play Watford regularly and I've never taken to them, so give them a good stuffing tonight.

I'm on the ale with Commonwealth games on. Then off to the Caribbean for some T20 cricket at 17:30 followed by the game. I'm all good with my setup

Billy Sharp made his professional debut in this fixture almost 18 years ago.

Be nice to see him get on tonight.

Was that the game where Burridge made his infamous comment afterwards?

I don’t know; what did he say?

 

[Jolly Buffer]

I don’t know; what did he say?

Think it was after they hammered us 5-0 in the FA Cup. John Barnes & Blissett? 1985 Blissett got 4! Have a butchers at the 5th goal. Proper Dog & Duck defending

That's the one. Could have been Bassett, not Budgie, who made the comment afterwards. They'd be out of a job it they said it today!

It is kicking off at 3pm!

Well, here in Canada it is

 

[Silent Blade]

I don’t know; what did he say?

He said "It was like Rorkes Drift out there today"

 

[blades14]

If I see Stevens, Fleck and Osborn in that starting 11 I’ll cry

 

[themaninblack]

He said "It was like Rorkes Drift out there today"

Ah. Not sure you would get away with that today.
Blades were bloody useless back then, hoping for much better this evening.

Didn’t know that, thanks.

 

[Eza Blade]

Enda Stevens must wash everyone’s car and clean kits every week

 

[Stevo]

Fleck is going to get completely bullied

Not a bad lineup that. Surprised Brewster on bench instead of starting but he might not be 100%.

 

[JT89]

So does anyone know why Anel is suspended?

John's back on gear ffs

 

[Large Mendonca]

Oh fucking hell, am I not liking our midfield options

Disappointing, strong bench but wish some of those had started.

 

[Bladesman98]

At least we can make some positive changes at some point

 

[robbiez666]

That defence is terrifying. Who is playing RCB, RND or Stevens? Or Clark?

I quite like the look going forward but I can't imagine there's a clean sheet to be had here.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Good to see Billy's on the bench returning earlier than expected from an injury.
