Yes I know it’s a bit early but it’s a big game for us, will the bubble burst or are we on a roll.

I think its going to be a very tough examination agains a very good side- im happy that greenings gone to fulham- have always hated playing against him. I think it will be a draw or we might JUST pinch it at the end.

Should be a good crowd too 28k+

Bring it on, as you say its going to be a real test, lets hope Blackwell can say “you haven’t seen nothing yet” at 5 o’clock on Saturday.

Come on you red and white wizaaaaaaaaards.

Come on you red and white wizaaaaaaaaards.

Yep this is the first “big” game.

I saw the `Battle of Bramall Lane` in TJ Hughes on Saturday (The Blades at 120 DVD)
I forgot just how bad it was.
How I cringed at some of the antics. OOOeer!
Can't just one of you try to make me look a cretin, rather than all ganging up?

Oh, sorry, I almost forgot, you're Blades aren't you, that's what you do?

You should have been at hillsborough watching the game not wasting your money in tj hughes.

Will be a very tough game.

Can we win a big game? I still don't think so.

we won a so called big game last week

Well ALTY said today "if wednesday fans stopped drinking and smoking they could then afford to go to wednesday games" I wonder what he thinks about their fans spending in tj hughes on a saturday?

Correctamundo mr Swervin.

Sorry, I made a mistake. I was in TJ Hughes on Sunday, not Saturday.
Silly me. :hihi:
So I didn't miss the game then, what a plum!

It wasn't really, though. As Reading are playing like relegation fodder!

I do think this is the second big game of the season, and we took a point from the other one. I think that a draw would be a good result.

Oh no you was listening to dispatches on RS.

Wednesday have moved on a little bit since the bribe scandal of the 60's, and since 'rattling tins' on Fargate, and since the 2006 floods.
Of course, things like this are never 'raked up' on this forum are they?

no............................

It will be a tough match and a draw would not be of any harm and losing would be no shame, I wouldn't say it would be our 1st real examination as Middlesborough haven't dropped point since playing us, Watford have only lost to us and Leicester are still unbeaten.
I think we caught Reading at the right time.

Yep this is the first “big” game.

Definately is a big game something again to measure whether we will be in the mix at the end of the seaon.
Prediction 2-1 Blades.

Surprise,surprise.Craig Beattie's found the net a few days before we play 'em.:mad:

You took the words out of my mouth m8, but will he get in the starting eleven for Albion at the Lane, he may do if he scores 2 or more goal's, and he's got plenty of time to do so aswell.

against rotherham (no disrespect) to be fair, cant c him scoring many (if any) in the league - altho if the supply is right to him he might.....

The Mighty Don Valley Millers take the lead in extra time.Hope it nackers WBA up playing 120 mins+.

I dint spend owt in TJ Hughes, it was full of red and white 120 crap.
Good video of the trouncing of United at Bumhole Lane by the mighty West Brom though! :thumbsup:
I think Brom were 3-0 up at one point, then Blades started behaving like 10 year olds.
Blood and snot everywhere!
Just a normal United game really.
Same again this time will be sweet. :)

Cant make any excuses for Santos and Suffo and neither of them played again after that match.

Im happy that west brom played 120 minutes last night- should test there early-season fitness.

Just called in this lunch time and bought a cracking pair of Lotus slip ons for £12.00. :thumbsup:

Hi Crookesey!
You were lucky to find 'em amongst the sea of red and white (unsold) United at 120 rubbish!

Cant make any excuses for Santos and Suffo and neither of them played again after that match.

Yer right Malky, there was no excuse and United did the right thing with 'em both.
I'd forgotten how bad the tackles and the mayhem was.
The makers of the DVD have included the debacle on it, so fair play to 'em.
A lot of people would have tried to sweep it under the carpet.
I winced at Suffo's 'challenge', he could have broken the player in half!

ANYWAY- back in utd vs west brom land ;)

Brunt and Beattie to score??

I have a feeling United will win this game.

On a side note, the first time I went to the Lane was United v West Brom. Think West Brom won 4-2, would be around 94/95 time.

I actually taking a wednesday supporting mate to the game on saturday - could get interesting! :D

Wouldn't be surprised, West Brom like to attack, but their defence ain't that great.

It will be interesting to see what kind of response Beattie gets especially if he scores.

Brunts out for a few weeks so he won't be playing. As for Beattie, I am officially the only Blade who thought he did alright for us at the end of the season:rolleyes:

It will be a tough game and I'm going for a 1-1 draw

Yep I think we had the best out of him perhaps it was time to move on whatever the reason was behind it all.

Had to look that one up as I couldn't-and still can't-remember it.It was in '98 when we lost in the play offs.Sounds familiar...:roll:

I've not bought it because I got it for my son when it was new and I haven't watched it yet but did they say what led up to it?

BTW I'm nearly old enough to have watched 1/2 the games

Craig Beattie has gone to swansea

Wasn't a playoff game. I went to Hillsborough in 93, so my first game at the lane would have been a year or two after. Think you had people like Veart, Nilsen, Littlejohn playing. Don't think I ever went to the lane after about 97 (apart from when Wednesday played there)

EDIT Balls to that, I remember Sneekes and Hughes playing for West Brom, so 98 is probably right. Wonder who United played the first time I went to the Lane. Hmmm I remember drinking Bovril.

Wasn't a play off game mate but was during that season- we lost to Sunderland in play offs.Was near the end of the season though.

thank god for that- he was nailed onto score.

well im not too sure of what to make of that game. youve got to praise the players for their character and steel to come bak twice.
but youve got to heavily criticise blackwell for the type of football (if you can call it that) we are playing, and the inability to change things if it is going to plan.
today was route one all the time. its not only boring to watch, but it was highly inneffective against west brom. he should have seen that after 20 mins and changed it.
the team has the wrong balance with ward in midfield, and quinn is pretty poor and not strong enough.
people keep saying that all we need is a good midfielder. but even if we had messi, alonso, or xavi we would still play route one as blackwell doesnt know anything else.

this will be the first time i have said it but. Backwell out.
he has to go, or this football club will go nowhere.

Agree mate.The back pass to the keeper from the centre/kick off says it all.WBA were nothing much.Sides with more creative players will beat them.

Can ask, who does Paul Walker support?

I thought we started ok, especially when Treacy was involved, but after about 15 minutes it reverted to long high balls. This would be acceptable on occasions, if your target man got a fair share of decisions, but when he got penalised whenever the ball was near him, you've got to change your game plan.

West Brom didn't look that great though either, and resorted to long ball too easily themselves. I assume Bednar is related to the ref, with how he managed to avoid a booking until right at the end after a series of fouls...

A point against the leaders was a fair result, hopefully our results sequence will continue as it has been this season - Draw, win, draw, win, draw so far... win at Derby, draw at Cov and then win the derby :) One thing for sure, the defence can't switch off like that and get away with it again.

We had just equalised and were in the ascendancy when we got an attacking free kick. Blackie waves the players back until we had just 3 in the area. Compare that to a few minutes later when WBA get a free kick level with our area. All the Baggies players were in our penalty box except 2 defenders. They wanted to try and nick it, Blackie was happy with a point, as illustrated by taking Ward off and putting Howard on to bolster the midfield. It beggars belief how negative he is, it really does.

I felt he only took him off to stop him getting injured. WBA were quite dirty throughout the match and, the nearer the end it got, I felt that WBA would start lashing out a bit more. So better it be one of the less important players that took the brunt of it, rather than one of the more important.

With only a few minutes to go, and having to come back twice to secure a point, I don't think I could fault Blackwell.

Would you have been happier him making a "positive" substitution and us going behind with a minute or two to go?

Personally, I'd take the point over a possible loss any day.

Can ask, who does Paul Walker support?

McCabe basically told listeners who Seth and Paul supported when they were questioning him repeatedly about James Beattie.

Fair to them, they're pretty impartial.

Well i was listening to football heaven last night and there were a lot of unhappy blades saying that the football was crap, but Paul Walker was adament they were very good???

Yes, I know there is always that risk but the free kick in a good attacking position that I was on about, gobsmacked me and a lot around me...

They do it with all of the clubs to be fair. If the presenters agrred with every caller, it wouldn't be much of a programme would it?

I've got to say that I thought the football on offer was pretty poor with a big boot up to Henderson seemingly the main option most of the time.

When we did get it down (first 15 minutes or so) we looked good and dangerous.

I said last season that Blackwell doesn't have a plan B for when things aren't working and if this is his plan A he is soon going to alienate supporters even more.

I think Paul Walker takes it too extremes sometimes.

Hi Paul .... did who say what 'led up to' what?
Sorry mate, I'm not with ya?
If you mean was there any 'previous', I don't know but another Blade should enlighten you. :thumbsup:

Both Seth and Paul Walker are Blades, but they do a good job of trying to be impartial. I don't see why they just don't 'come out'. Listeners to Talksport know which club presenters support on there, and I don't think it spoils the banter knowing who they prefer.
RS does need an Owl to balance things up a touch though, you know what some callers can be like!
Tek him for instance, ..... Matthew ...... biased as they come! :hihi:

yep there was previous not with suffo but the big fella santos, broken cheek bone nearly lost his sight was told to keep his cool failed miserably .he went striaght into him

Cheers m8 I knew about the previous but I was wondering if they said owt about it on the dvd

I think it was a good performance by the blades, we battled with them and caused them problems all day. I agree with what dot is saying though- we do struggle to find another 'plan' when the forst one isn't working.

The midfield was very scrappy today from both teams but thats what you get when you have 2 very fit teams- you get no time to do anything with the ball and it was only in the second half we could get the football down and play our thing- which did result in 2 goals.

Killa did look like his mind was elsewhere- ill be glad when he re-signs.

Cant help ya Paul, I couldn't hear the commentary in TJ Hughes!
