"We can harp on about how a draw was a fair reflection, or how we didn't deserve to win that, but we wuz fuckin robbed! 2 points dropped due to yet another horrendous officiating fiasco. Not just the penalty they were given, or the stone fuckin wall penalty we were denied, but the cunting ref wasn't eleven going to send off Brewster. How the fuck did they take so long to overturn that?? Cunts, the lot of em."

[Justin P]

WTF happened/is happening to this site? seems on the way out!

[Takashi Miike]

"thought the site was a gonner ?üòÇ we deserved to win yesterday, these referees get worse by the week. the horrendous standard of these cunts was part of the reason I stopped going, but the full time wage and technology has made them worse. never in a million fucking years was that a penalty. the referee should be investigated"

[RM10]

Yeh daft supporters

[side effect]

Good luck to those daft enough to go.

"Any of the U21s have the physique of Plug in the Bash Street Kids, run as fast as a tortoise and have 50p pieces in the toes of their boots ?? They could make the Moyes bench"

[daveyg]

"U21's have had their game cancelled tonight (is it actually that cold at 1pm in the afternoon, it's registered as 4c at 5pm currently, not meant to be freezing till 10pm, bit pathetic) Thus no excuse not to load the bench with the likes of Earthy,Forbes,Orford to go along with Scarles,Marshall and Casey. Cresswell and Ings can go the cinema or somewhere else"

[Sir Alf]

"Moyes team sheet same as its been last few days... discussions with Mckinley ongoing but it still appears as: ---------- ??? Vlad ( Tommys pal) ??? ---??? --- ??? ------- ???? ------ TOMMY MY BOY !!! ------ ??? ------------- ??? --------------- ??? ---------------- ??? ---------------------------------- Moyes notes to self at the bottom apparently say : (1) Could play Tommy as no 10, no 8 or no 6 or LB or RB, CB or CF (2) Is it possible with the latest stem cell technology to clone Tommy ?? (3) Use AI and / or mind altering drugs to get all players to think and play like Tommy? (4) Look at attaching leg irons to players to run at the speed and have the agility and technique of Tommy (5) Ensure potatoe salad dietary plan in place for all players"

[aldgate]

Nailed on last game on Match of the Day. Whoever is injured he surely can't pair Soucek and JWP in the middle ever again?.........

[Hammer and Pickle]

You can? Can I have some of what you’re on Tom?

[Tomshardware]

Can see a Soucek double getting us a win.

[Fauxstralian]

Without Bowen we will struggle to score. Could sneak it with him but without you can imagine a 0-1 with Olly McBurnie beating 6 players running from the halfway line before backheeling it in from 30 yds We dont have a game til Bournemouth on Feb 1 after this so hopefully he and Paqueta are fully fit by then And the players get a few days off as a reward for losing in Bristol

"Unfortunately I am not calling this one as we are playing dreadful football, slow, boring and not physical at all. I fear what may happen under this fuck Witt dinosaur of a manager. I suspect the aftermath will read something like “we have lots of injuries, we have played lots of games and we missed lots of chances, the fans are crap and remember the last three years” Blah Blah Blah"

"If I see 3/5 at the back, then I doubt I'll bother with this."

[Russ of the BML]

Sheff Utd will have seen us betting bullied by Bristol and Wilder will get them get up and in our faces as its clear we aren't a side that can fight and cope with aggression. They will go long and try and batter us. They will also play high and try and squeeze us into our own half. If our boys bottle like they did the other night then we will get roundly beaten.

[Gaffer58]

"Moyes will play his usual tactical game, keep it tight lads, pump it long for Bowen to challenge their 6’6” centre half, he’s already got his excuses ready with the lack of forwards available. A drab 0-0 is the best we can hope for."

[Takashi Miike]

there's nothing wrong with him or fornals

[fraser]

"Alvarez will start, I'm not buying this he's had a knock shit."

[ludo21]

"Obviously Moyes won't but I'd love to see... Areola Coufal Mavro Ogbonna Scarles Orford Soucek JWP Emerson Mubama Marshall I'd keep the weapons that are Ings and Cornet on the bench and play Orford, Mubama & Marshall on the basis that they are used to playing together. Couldn't be any worse than the shit show on Tuesday."

[Sir Alf]

Moyes teamsheet so far: ———- Areola ————— Coufal ( TOMMYS mate) ???? ???? Emerson ——- ??? ——- TOMMY BOY ???? ———— ???? ———- ??? ————— ???? ————————

[Lato]

"The rumour is that Bowen is fit but, should we risk him? Especially against a physical side like Sheffied United!"

[threesixty]

Emerson on the left wing?

[El Scorchio]

"Yeah, this one is going to be really tough if we don't have anyone more available than those on Tuesday. Assume Benny now suspended for three games too thus making us even more bereft of anyone of note at all in the attacking department. Incredible to think we could have a situation where Bowen Kudus Paqueta Antonio Fornals Alvarez Benrahma are ALL unavailable at once. Quite astonishing and unlucky If we were a big six club there would be never ending media drivel about an extraordinary injury crisis. Imagine City missing Haaland, Alvarez, Foden,Grealish, KDB, Silva and Rodri all at once. As it is you probably get a tiny bit of 'West Ham go into this missing one or two players...' Anyway this will be a big struggle to get anything attacking going at all but you'd hope unless someone makes a fucking boneheaded mistake we could keep a clean sheet. There's no way they'll be allowed to get away with half of what Bristol did. VAR would have had a straight red for their player on Ings after 2 mins or whatever it was."

[Sir Alf]

It’s got narrow loss written all over it. Bowen if fit might give us a chance but suspect Zouma won’t be fit as he don’t play twice in a week. Moyes just got to work out the 10 to play alongside King Tommy
