ekke_287 Â Â 10 #25 Posted February 9, 2009 lol, nice one. Â I went to the game on Saturday and as a blade it was painful viewing. No idea why we seem to play the long ball all the time, even worse seems to be the idea to continue trying it even after it fails. Â Well done to Wednesday, by far the better team on the day.

crookesey   625 #26 Posted February 9, 2009 Nick Montgomery's post match interview was an absolute classic.  "Anyone who knows anything about football would agree that all the best football had been played by Utd".  "Wednesday are struggling at the bottom of the league".  I think that he meant to say something like, "Utd have sufficient points in the bag already not to have to concern themselves with the fears of relegation, unlike Wednesday who need around 10 more points to be sure of safety." Unfortunately when he opened his mouth his brains fell out of it, very reminicent of some blunts forum posters.  The beamback was good, over 9000 there to watch it, a larger screen would have been nice, not grumbling though as it was a first for us. The Radio Sheffield commentary was first class, well done to all concerned. Only one minus point, I got 28-1 for a 3-1 Owls win, Leon lad what were you doing?  The blunts really had a go at us during the last 10 minutes of the game, it's a pity so many of their 'fans' had already left or were leaving the ground, you would have thought that they would have stayed and tried to cheer their team on to a possble draw.

geocol   10 #27 Posted February 9, 2009 Being in the (very civilised and excellent) company of a group of Blades on Saturday, I was sitting much nearer the Kop (than the BL end).  I must say the "Blackwell, Blackwell, sort it out " chant that emitted from there with about twenty minutes to go, was music to my ears.

geocol   10 #30 Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) congratulations on your win mate. how come you managed to get a tkt on the united end. Thanks. It was a very generous invitation from one of your own, and yes for the sake of all concerned somwhow I managed to act in a restrained manner... ..God only knows how!  It was never a problem when I was still a spotty faced adolescent in the sixties, when we last won at your place! It was everyone all in together then, and good humoured banter between all, and work mate adults were off to the pub together afterwards. I can still be sociable with opposition fans of the same ilk, for ninety minutes now (as Saturday proved). But sadly times have changed, and this is no longer the "norm". More's the pity.

That's the way it should be. It's ironic how these recent derby matches have gone, compared to those in the early nineties. Then you were supposedly the underdogs and had the better of them; but it's been the opposite in the last 18 months since you dropped out of the top flight.  But, long may you need to use all of your pool skill, to keep face with your mates .

geocol   10 #34 Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) Considering all the other events immediately after the last time we did the double in 1914; it'll only take some Serb to shoot some Austrian prince and/or some Germans to murder a Belgian Nurse, and I'll be enlisting to receive the King's shilling!
