happyhippy Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Geary was probably the best player on the pitch - cos he played well over what anybody could expect of him. I didnt expect him to be in the starting line up Geary looked absolutely whacked at the end, but he did have a great game. I thought Ifill showed what he is capable of at times in the first half, but I wish he'd try and get crosses in, if we're playing him as an out and out winger. I also thought that Morgan had one of his best displays for the Blades, first half in particular. Couldn't fault any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhippy Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 anyways...... watching MOTD this morning and Alan Shearer pops up and says it should have been a penalty. the exchange of words between him and alan hansen was quite amusing it went something like this AH: so you're saying he touched him? AS: no but he put gerrard off his stride AH: well are you saying that morgan went for the man then? AS: no he definately went for the ball AH: well its not a penalty then, the rules state there must be intent to go for the player if you dont actually touch him Shearer then shut up ha ha..... but at least he went on to say he thinks we will stay up Absolutely hilarious. The look on Shearer's face was a picture. And then after a pause, he said, under his breath, 'I still think it was a penalty ........', like a petulant child, having to get the last word.

happyhippy Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Shearer has never been a big fan of the blades. If there are 10 clear decisions in a game, especially in significant games like yesterday's, we will be lucky to get 2-3 of them in our favor. It's something we just have to get used to. I agree with the MOTD pundits - We will stay up I wouldn't mind betting that we don't get a penalty all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocklegend Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Morgs and Unsworth were awesome;and I admit to be being a bit worried when I saw their names on the teamsheet.Damn shame about Carragher hobbling off;every time a Blades player went near him he shoved them away-obviousy not spotted by officials.What did surprise me was that it was Ifill that put him out of the game...he did something right then:hihi: .Feel a lot more optimistic after that performance.

Dot Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Good to see some positive posts from S6 fans who can talk properly about football and not have to resort to name calling and slagging. Thanks for your comments to MadOwl and Nickie and well done on your first win and Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batley Blade Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 There's a rumour circulating that Coventry have made a £1m bid for Ade. If it's true I hope we accept it. Although I'd feel really sorry for the lad if he did go back down a division after just 5 minutes of Premiership footy (seems like a nice guy and popular bloke amongst the lads), I think it would be in the best interests of the club.

tosh13 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Ade Akinbiyi is a target for three Championship clubs after slipping down the pecking order at Sheffield United The 31-year-old forward made 68 appearances for Stoke between March 2003 and February 2005, with current boss Tony Pulis taking much of the credit for turning around his career after a disastrous move to Leicester City. Akinbiyi then moved to Burnley before a big-money switch to Sheffield United. The summer signing of Rob Hulse however means his future at Bramall Lane is uncertain and both Birmingham City and Coventry City are also thought to be keen on a deal.

Jazzybmzoo Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Never been stalked by a farm yard animal, whatever rocks you boat. :hihi: Don't worry about it Brooksy, FYTC loves himself! He once copied and pasted a response to me on two separate threads because he was that pleased with himself. Bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzybmzoo Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Yup, gotta agree with ya'll. Thought the Blades were well worth the draw. Thought you struggled after they scored, but they were European Champions recently! Err, that's it...no more praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
