chipdawg Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Going to be -1 by the match finishes kids so wrap up warm. I'll be there, thermal base layer, ski jacket and all! People who are driving up may want to consider getting off at M1 j29, coming through Chesterfield and parking on a street in Heeley. Sheffield traffic is awful at the best of times and there is free parking and some good pubs (Sheaf View, The Brothers Arms, The White Lion, The Crown are all good, Tramshed if you like your hipster bottle bars) which I believe are fine with away fans If you are in town, West St is good for a party (if you like that kind of thing) Sentinel Brewhouse on Shoreham St is the best beer near the ground Enjoy everyone, 3-1 to The Mighty Reds PS Re: Sheff Utd and West Ham, what people forget is that had SU beaten an abject Wigan on the last day, they would have relegated West Ham. So despite WH stacking the deck unfairly, they still only have themselves to blame Quote Link to comment

I'm trying to think of Sheffield United 'greats' and can only come up with Tony. As far as players that have played for both clubs, I'm even more stuck. Diego De Girolamo is all I can come up with. There must be other players? John McPhail. Quote Link to comment

The Red Planet Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 This is surely one of the most intellectual (or some may say pretentious) threads ever seen on OTIB ? Semper diliget Havanae posts scriptor ! "I always love Havana's posts" translated to Latin - I think, but I stand ready to be corrected. Meanwhile I will be glued to Sky Sports this evening and sincerely hope that they have under pitch heating - somebody must know whether they do or don't have that at Bramall Lane. 1 Quote Link to comment
chinapig Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 2 hours ago, Norn Iron said: Another great Havanatopia journalistic style starter. Thanks. Two things; I trust Bramall Lane has undersoil heating otherwise with a clear night sky plus freezing temperatures, frost could easily have the game abandoned around half time. My other point is purely pedantic, so apologies Havanatopia but what is the plural of addendum as "A couple of addendums" is surely incorrect? I'd say it's either addenda or addendae. However, if we substituted addendum with the word stadium then a couple of stadiums would be acceptable, although stadia would be preferable. So maybe addendums is ok? I told you it was pedantic but what is the correct wording? The general rule is that Latin words adopted into English attract English plurals e.g. forums not fora. So addendums is fine. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

There must be other players? I remember going to Bramall Lane in a 3rd round FA Cup tie in 1975 and Tony Currie scoring a classic free kick from long range in their 2-0 win over us (I think they were Div 1 at the time), anyone else remember that game?

Fordy62 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Bitter sweet day today. Jurassic World 2 trailer released. Then took 3hrs and 15 minutes to Drive the 8 miles to work. Home now with the wife & kids, log burner roaring & city on tv. I’m thinking another display of neat & tasty one touch bringing home 3 points. Come on you reds. Quote Link to comment
