Lawrie’s Left Peg Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 The Steel City Derby is always huge for the city and its supporters. For some reason this one feels extra special with the Blunts pushing for automatic promotion and the S6 revolution gaining momentum under Brigadier Bruce. With the exception of the Wembley semi final and the “Mind the Gap” derby, this one feels right up there. Agree? Or just another game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) For me it feels like 2012 all over again. They’re full of it, and been ramming the “mind the gap” phrase down our throats. Edited March 2, 2019 by bigdan2003 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post latemodelchild Posted March 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2019 Just another 3 points. United can afford to lose it and still go up this season easily. We are awful really, the last few results have just papered over the cracks. We are so poor that wilder could probably rest a few players for the run in, probably should in fact. Look at what happened last time we played em here, won at a canter. Last 2 games against em we've failed to score. Chris, if you're reading this, rest players. Wednesday are no match for your team of hard working spirited warriors who have pashun and do it for minimum wage cos they're blavdes and love the club. You can take this one easy. He will see this won't he? 1 1 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archieswfc Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Absolutely huge in my mind. Just a shame we can't sell our tickets as it's not gonna feel the same with loads of empty seats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the result goes the wrong way the dread of going into work the following day doesn't change . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardo Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Already a nervous wreck, and have all weekend to get through. Always means a lot against the blunts, and if we can help them not getting promoted then all the better, plus we keep our slim hopes alive for another week or so.

Jim Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I feel really confident about Monday night and I probably shouldn't be but I've felt for a while that there is still a story to be written this season. This season has a 2012 vibe about where we are down and out and destined to have the syrups lord it over us in a way only they can. We win on Monday and for Dave Jones you can replace with Steve Bruce and for Michail Antonio you can replace with Rolando Aarons and I have no doubt the momentum could well push us on to a place no one really expects us to reach? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think it'll matter, there's still going to be 31/32,000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LittleG Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Let's not get carried away on the back of two home wins. Matches against the blades are always special (I don't enjoy them, too nerve wracking), but I wouldnt say this one is extra special. It could have been if Bruce had been in charge a little bit longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 It’s big but not huge as we’re not going anywhere this season It’s bigger for them IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kept going on about the 5 point lead with 2 games in hand so obviously when we beat them and overhauled them as they capitulated hysterically we naturally and kindly re-used the phrase towards them. They became brave enough to use it against us again last season but it fell away for them once more. I have a sneaky feeling it will all come back to haunt them this season too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, personally I feel the pigs are going up this season even if we beat them. So being able to say we won the last time we played them whilst they enjoy life in the PL will give us something to Melvin (Bragg) about. Hopefully they won’t enjoy life in the PL tho! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 If we win it will be a massive result if we lose we will just relegate it to a meaningless game for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
