Seems like I am in a minority on here but I love any game where one of the super rich clubs gets turned over, be it in the league, cups or Europe.

Usually I do. But when I am force fed this awful saccarin slop of "Every neutral wants Bristol to win" and the reporters fawning all over plucky Bristol during and after. I just rebel. Its in my nature. I am not saying I booed at Diana's funeral but I did roll my eyes a little. :)

Not like say, Forest beating Arsenal at the weekend. Or Bristol City and Huddersfield beating Man Utd. Or Burnley beating Chelsea. Etc.

Nice attempt Bristol, but for me as soon as we have a couple of seasons of Man City winning everything in finals against Chelsea and going unbeaten for 2 or 3 seasons the quicker we’ll see some changes in either the current ladder pulleruping financial rules or even better a salary cap.

I think a super league/breakaway due to them wanting a better TV deal is more likely


The sooner they all fuck-off to their Super League the better.

Can't believe the Sheffield Derby is on a Friday night. Imagine Villa v Blues on a Friday night?!

Our incompetent police force would only allow twelve Villa fans to attend, and would still keep them behind until Sunday night.

Two great away ends with a big allocation, but BFR's instant return apart a trip to United always seemed a bit moodier than the trip to Wednesday.

No wins in ten for Sheffield United and they’re still in sixth.

Which makes our result against them even more annoying.
