Reading’s Dave Kitson doesn’t care about the FA Cup but it would seem that Blades fans do. The Sold Out signs went up at Bramall Lane today with 5,000 Blades set to descend on the Reebok ready to hurl abuse at the Ginger Whinger, Gary Megson. Being an ex-pig is bad enough but Megson’s antics following the Battle of Bramall Lane mean that he will never be forgiven by many of our fans. It’s a shame Warnock is no longer around to add a bit of extra spice but then it’s just a shame that Warnock is no longer around full stop…
Vital Quotes:
Robson told the official site that he is up for the cup ‘I take every game seriously and I want my players to have the winning mentality which is important to be a successful side. The team must go to Bolton and relax, whilst enjoying the occasion. We must give it a real go and we have a chance because their confidence won’t be sky high.’
Bolton Wanderers Team News:
Blades fan, and the man who scored against us twice last term, Kevin Davies misses out through suspension.
Player to watch: Kevin Nolan
Like a few of the Blades team, Mr Nolan is finding out what it’s like to be booed. Perhaps it was his incredibly dull diary last season that turned people against him?
Sheffield United Team News:
Gary Speed is ineligible, hitman Michael Tonge is suspended and Beattie, Morgan, Geary, Webber and Naysmith are injured.
Player to watch: Lee Hendrie
Been asking to be sent off recently, will he see red at the Reebok?
