[South Sea Blade]

It will be great fun on here if Ndiaye and/or Berge aren't in the team! Neither of them should be IMO anyway.

 

[Blade.com]

Put out a strong team, get job done, come home. Don't mess about , don't disrespect Wrexham . Get a decent lead then make changes.

100% banana skin this one, they will want it more be all over is from the off, big scalp on the BBC.
Not sure we’ll be too bothered win or lose.

If you see a Banana Skin you don't go out in your slippers, you put your big boots on and squash it. Strong team out as you say.

 

[Green7361]

I reckon it will be other way round, they will be on us from the first minute not giving us time to settle and dictate play.

That's why we should start with the strongest team, we should be able to cope with that, whereas if we start quickly they'll struggle to keep the ball

 

[Isar]

Really fortunate its on TV and ESPN. We could quite easily have sold another 10-15 thousand tickets
Every time you pass the ground tourists seem to be having their photos taken or buying merchandise in the club shop

Of course you could have easily sold another 10 to 15 thousand tickets, everyone wants to see The Blades.

 

[Melton Blade]

I didn't notice any of the young boys in the video of training this week - so I reckon it will be a fairly experienced line up with the likes of Davies, Bash, Ozzy getting minutes plus I reckon McB & Coulibaly who we really need to assess his worth. Early goal hopefully.
UTB

Isn't easier to pick it up and put it in the bin?

 

[metalblade]

Come on Blades crush these upstarts and grind them into the dirt

 

[bakeblade]

I watched highlights of their last two games and:
1. Howard is susceptible to shots from distance.
2. Their midfield is non existent.
3. They have a long throw.
4. Their two main strikers, Mullen and Palmer are a threat, but shouldn't be an issue to our defence.
5. Their defence will shit themselves when Ndiaye runs at them!
6. Apparently they have a couple of their first team players out injured; I think Mendy (forward) is one and a defender the other.

If Howard was in the net for us, I'd be shitting meself

I'm pretty sure that's the basis of a Wombles song.

Weird take a look at the wind gusts low before match much higher during the game then low again immediately after the match

Welsh bastards

Blades fans with a fondness for north Wales gusts might like to know that the ground is orientated NW - SE a strong westerly wind in the second half would give one side a slight advantage; south westerlies would be neutral (unless, say, they blew the ball from Enda Steven's side of the pitch to Bogle's).

Though if such fine margins make the difference then we deserve to lose anyway!

 

[The_Wrexham_Cartel]

Perfect playing conditions here with the town/city centre already very busy.
For those lucky to have a ticket it'll be strange seeing the almost demolished Kop end.

Are your biggest fans here today?


I mean Bootlegger. Not t'other two.

 

[Newbury Blade]

Cup tied and injured. May even still be suspended

Yes but apart from that …

 

[Snowflake]

If you'd like to join in with the Welsh National anthem tomorrow but don't know the words, here's the English version for you:

My hen laid a haddock, one hand oiled a flea, Glad farts and centurions threw dogs in the sea, I could stew a hare here and brandish Dan's flan, Don's ruddy bog's blocked up with sand.
Dad! Dad! Why don't you oil Auntie Glad?
Can whores appear in beer bottle pies, O butter the hens as they fly!
Etc...

I speak fluent Welsh and I think you may have mistranslated slightly

 

[torridon]

I've got bad vibes for this one, in all my 50 years watching the Blades I have yet to see us beat Wrexham when we have played them in the 4th round of the FA Cup on a Sunday at half past 4 live on the telly.

[El Volví]

Oh bless !!! I almost want WuhRexam to win nah

All their hype about how passionate the fans are yet two lasses from Portugal can rock up and get tickets for a game with a sell out capacity of just over 10k!

 

[cahill]

Exactly. Why take the risk when we’re on the cusp of finishing a great season

 

[BigBed]

Coulibaly gets his 1st for United today.

I was just thinking it was quieter than I was expecting

I’ll drink to that. I’ve never seen him play

Nobody at the club have yet
