mjw47 Â Â 10 #73 Posted September 24, 2014 As a Blade I would love to enjoy this situation and have a go, but in truth it just shows the way football has gone. Â Those who have the money will come out on top, it's no longer about the glory, it's about the money. Â It's no longer a sporting contest between equals, it's a corporate contest between franchises. Â Not much difference between it and Walmart V the corner shop. Â Try to compete and you go bankrupt, as Wednesday and Leeds came very close to. Â It's come to something when a Blade can't even enjoy a laugh at the 'Massives' expense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

speedy69 Â Â 10 #75 Posted September 24, 2014 Wednesday lose 7-0 but they don't care because they can search a link out from years ago when United lost 6-0. Jordan Robertsons only appearance in the first team that game by the way. Â People in glass houses Trav.....We lost against men as apposed to United losing to kids! Â We will move on to Cardiff on Saturday and get back on track, United will try to get something against Gillingham to attempt to overtake the footballing powers that are Fleetwood & Rochdale!

trav4 Â Â 10 #77 Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) To be honest I half wanted Wednesday to go through tonight it's always better in these competitions if the possibility of a derby is still there. Let's be honest none of us are that bothered if we do go out in these early stages, trust Wednesday to bottle it again like last season..

The game has gone to the dogs. Â Â Mind you, if we get past MK and knock out Citeh in the next round, I'll be back on here giving it large!

Gazza58 Â Â 10 #81 Posted September 24, 2014 Had a quick look on the city site,they even say how brilliant they played second half and are saying we at least didn't give up,and we wernt out fought we were outclassed,which is fair enough.

WasThatWise   10 #82 Posted September 24, 2014 So a guy goes in to a bar and says what was the Man City vs Wednesday result, a guy says 7-0 to City, the guy says who scored, the guy says everybody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
