Big game v. Portsmouth.

Have a few good early memories of wins over this lot, even put 5 past`em 3 times on the trot a while back, but then we had a team back then. Browny got a late winner 2003 & we stuffed up their championship winning party there once by sneaking a win on the last day of the season.

The bad news is Cressy is available & also Monty may be played even tho` he`s injured & the same for mattock. Sorry but a 100% monty is a creative blob, at 50% he`s as welcome as an abscess on your john thomas.

However a few old Blades will heap charity on us tomorow so i fully expect the following scores and the first step in our leap to safety



Npower Championship
Burnley 2 Crystal Palace 1
Coventry 0 Bristol City 0
Derby 1 Barnsley 1
Leeds 365 for 7 dec. Doncaster, 15-0 stumps
Norwich 1 Preston 0
Nott'm Forest v Hull, postponed due to a plague of people of don`t give a f**k
Portsmouth 0 Sheff Utd 17
QPR 1 Leicester 0
Reading 2 Middlesbrough 1
Scunthorpe 0 Swansea 2
Watford 0 Millwall 14 arrests & a pitch invasion
Cardiff 1 Ipswich 7.5 (with extra marks from the ukranian judge for artistry)

2-0 Portsmouth, with a Micky post match comment of its not mathmatically over - yet

[fred emney]

Probably true Lab, with the "we are trying, i can`t fault the commitment but we`re not taking our chances & we defend like a full set of john inmans"

...with possibly a "we`ve had no luck, monty`s three clearances that found the back of his own net on another day would`ve found the terrace...'

[Bladenz]

Well at least he doesn't use the tried and tested excuse, "This isn't MY team, it was put together by idiots!" Maybe Micky's luck will turn, seeing as how it's his 13th game with United. Unlucky for some......

[thechairman]

Going per form book one down as expected should finish two nil.
At least season tickets haven't gone up.

[lab]

Yep 50% there, good stats so far - one shot (off target) and 41% possession we are really giving them a game here

[thechairman]

Radio sheffield as ever has us thrashing them...

[thechairman]

Edwards says Cresswell always puts a good shift in. Most of the time he might as well not be on the pitch.

[thechairman]

Did better than expected only one nil. While piggies running scared at Hillsborough getting hammered 4-2 at home as they try to avoid next season derby games by chickening out to the league below.

[kowalski]

"You can't ask more of the players"

How about asking for a f**king shot on target you idiot Edwards!!!!

[lab]

Over to Fred here

[thechairman]

Apparently two on target during 90 minutes which shows the problem.

[lab]

Did Fred fall asleep?

[fred emney]

I`m afraid total apathy got the best of me lab, sorry to admit but i thought we`d lose 1 or 2 nil, with a huge emphasis on our NIL!!.

Didn`t listen to the game & if i had, the starting line up with Cresswell again in the side & with a crocked monty on the bench would have had me lumping the radio across the room blackwell style. It said all you need to know about what a weak bag of shite our squad is

I mean, sure it`s a squad with about as much talent as a mucky dish cloth but why not start vokes instead of cress, more mobile (then so is a fridge), fresher & more clue where the goal is.

Actually i`d start kozzy up front over cresswell.

At least i got the leeds prediction right.

More fun this Tuesday Fred, I'll go 0-2 just to start here
