This has nothing to do with hamer and O’Hare signing for them but I fucking hate Sheffield United sisu supporting knockin us out of the quarters cunts !!!

Really starting to look like a missed opportunity. Whatever you think of Robins going at this point, I don't think his decision to convince Sheaf to hang around another year helped him one bit. Would have been better with the cash with all use he's been this season.

That said, can you imagine the state of our midfield had we sold Sheaf and failed to strengthen? Actually I don’t need to, we saw it at Sunderland.

Yep, I’m sure there would have been an absolutely calm and measured response and not a complete meltdown on this site had we have flogged Sheaf in the summer…

The consensus was that if his sale allowed for more strength in midfield and CB then it was worth it.

Bollocks, if we’d have sold Sheaf in the summer there’d have been calls for a public stoning of Doug King

Look back through the summer threads, reaction to possibly selling Sheaf wasn’t all negative.

Meh - a lot of water under that bridge for me, thought their fans and Wilder’s bitterness and their assumption that game and the protest was a ploy to disrupt their season was weird (Considering they actually won?) but it’s in the past for me, end of day we were at our completely lowest ebb and it only took us 4/5 years to get back onto a level playing field with them and beat them… It’s just another game and isn’t and never will be a rivalry

I hate the racist scruffy fuckers they share a City with far more than I hate them, a wind up about our old owners gets put into perspective by actual racism against one of our players

That being said, Wilder is still a mega-twat just cannot take to him

My understanding is it was the players decision. He thought something better would come along.

If Sheaf stood up to be coubted in the way Lati did at Sunderland he might find the move he's craving comes a step nearer.

Eccles I think would let emotion get the better of him sometimes so I think there’s an argument for stripping Sheaf of the captaincy, get him working on his game, and allow Lati the armband instead.

Ideally Lati wouldn’t be on the pitch very often so he’s not a great captaincy choice.

He might be lucky to get a move that's better than where he's currently at the way things are going.
Obviously we hope he picks it up for the sake of the team.

FFS come Saturday he won't have played for over three weeks, absolute joke.

Sheffield will over runner's in midfield, I fear the worst, if Lampard hasn't signed by then he might change his mind after watching Saturday's game.

I know some people will say good.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It's slim pickings, but Liam Kelly wasn't on the pitch very often last season either. Sheaf's game is clearly suffering and maybe relieving him of some responsibility would help.

 

[clint van damme]

I've been one of his biggest critics and agree ideally he wouldn't be starting but he's shown good attitude of late and never hid even at 2 down against Sunderland.

Sheafs captains performance against Derby was woeful.

Agreed

Ffs.

 

[wingy]

Let's see what Kai can do!

 

[Skybluekyle]

Ollie Arblaster (One of their young prospects) took a whack in the Derby just before the break and had to pull out of England U21 duty so looks unlikely he will be playing Saturday

Don't say Derby, please not now. You saying Derby makes me think about Derby...and I hate Derby

 

[alexccfc99]

How many cup finals is that now

WTF is wrong with him now!??
We are going to get destroyed in midfield on Saturday......

 

[alexccfc99]

If O’Hare or Gus score and celebrate in front of our fans, I think I may need therapy.

I don’t think Hamer would…

I think O’Hare probably would factoring in that he hasn’t scored for them yet, the stick he has got from some for leaving and the whole AI interview fiasco the other month

Missing this as seeing family in Liverpool. Will watch it in the Albert on Lark lane . 1-1 clinging in for a point game

Agree. We should have cashed in and got a couple of top central midfielders. He’s a sick note unfortunately.

Haha! Never made it in to the Albert, was high as sh*t on edibles in Keith's across the road last time I was up that way. What's it like in there?

 

[procdoc]

People saying Lati shouldn’t play often yet he’s been our best defender this season. He shouldn’t play in midfield though!

 

[Covkid1968#]

That sounds your typical Liverpool night out . Albert is class … proper boozer. Use Keith’s aswell a fair bit… love it in there aswell. I’ve got family from Lark Lane so if I’m not in Cov I’m up that way. It’s how Earlsdon could have been … but it’s Cov and we ruin everything!!!

It is people's home location as well though isn't Earlsdon?

 

[fatso]

He's been nowhere near our worst player this season. Our defence and midfield has been a fucking shambles, he's been one of the better performers. He may well be limited, but fuck me, on current form he's a nailed on starter.

 

[shmmeee]

Earlsdon shouldn’t be a night out, it only is cos town is so awful.

There’s continents moving faster than he does

Speaks volumes for our other defenders then.

It's all gone a bit lark lane on here all of a sudden..which is where I live. Not sure I'll watch in the Albert mind, might just watch from the sofa!

so is Lark Lane.
