    Burton v blades

    Is the match already over after 10 minutes? Billy Sharp is currently on the best run of results in English football. In the last 28 games when he’s scored, United have won 22 and drawn 6. The first scorer tonight was Billy Sharp.

    Match Day Sheff Wed vs Bristol C

    Agree, always considered Bristol City to be bigger than Reading. I went to Elm Park a few times in the 80’s and thought of them, almost as a village team ;-) Then had some very good times in the 90’s though but still historically a smallish club.

    Match Day Sheff Wed vs Bristol C

    Should be an interesting game. Wednesday are terribly inconsistent, usually start with a slow cautious tempo then try to take gradual control of a game. Also the expectancy can make them nervous at home, an early Bristol City goal could create real tension and negativity amongst the home fans...

    Burton v blades

    Wilder seems to approach games against weaker teams with the right attitude. He often says things like “we’re confident but respect the opposition and expect a tough game”. Can’t see Burton scoring and I think we’ll score 1 maybe 2. Confident it will be a solid professional display in a tight...

    Totally agree. Potential used to mean relatively little, it was achievement that was more important But PL clubs are so cash rich and desperate to buy the next top quality player That prices and salaries are inflated to crazy levels for anyone that shows a glimmer of top level talent and that’s...

    I believe the deal was 10% of any profit made by Spurs when selling Naughton and Walker. Think the split was £5 million paid for Naughton and 3 million paid for Walker. Spurs sold Naughton to Swansea for £5 million, so our sell-on clause meant we received ZERO. Then Spurs sold Walker for £50...

    Leon

    Agree he hasn’t even proven that he’s worth 5 million yet, hes hardly played any games. But in his limited subs appearances he generally looks well above Championship level and occasionally drifts past players like they’re not there (which is a rare talent). Older Blades say he’s the best young...

    I’ll bet you £20 to charity that we won’t sell for anything near 10 million And you could say I know that for a fact, so save this post for later to prove me wrong. As I said I doubt Liverpool would increase their bid to 20 million for someone who has hardly started a single match in league...

    Leon

    Exactly....so he’s not going to be sold. However in his short appearances you can see he has more talent than Donaldson, Sharp and Clarke put together. Even those 3 players admit it themselves. But talent means nothing, it’s how you use it and end product. Brooks has hardly started any matches...

    Leon

    Can’t see a PL club offering 20 million plus for him and even then we’d turn it down unless we have other options to bring other players in to improve the squad. Brooks is signed up until 2022 and is happy, so no pressure to sell. A big factor is our league position, whilst we’re in with a good...

    Agree. They are all easyish games on paper But I reckon we’ll come un stuck on one of them And I reckon we’ll win the 1st three, then lose at home to Fulham. They seem to create loads of chances but can’t score, so are probably due some luck.

    That’s so funny, made me laugh out loud.

    Leon

    Is Leon Clarke the Diego Costa of the Championship ha ha. Us Blades all laugh at just how well he’s playing these days. Wilder must be a miracle worker. He’s always had the ability but over many years he plays like he can’t be arsed, he’s prone to sulking and wasted his talent. It’s as though...

    Sky games

    Agree, the pre and post match trouble will be off the scale. Not sure how it can be policed properly with 1000’s of rival fans drinking together in loads of city centre pubs. London Road could be like a battle zone. Will gaurantee and really fantastic atmosphere tho (up there with the best of...

    Best individual performance against your team?

    Over the years the players that stand out for me in home matches at Bramall Lane are: Abdel Tarabt playing in a very good QPR team, think we lost 0-3 and they had Warnock as manager. Tarabt was playing like Messi (and no I’m not exagerrating) doing step overs and showboating making Chris Morgan...

    Leeds vs Derby

    Sorry about that, wasn’t meant to be patronising. We live in a 2 club city here and it’s constant bickering about everything. Heard many Wednesday fans say that we were lucky to win that Derby game. And I agree watching the highlights the 3 goals for SU were all lucky but often you make your...

    Congratulations to Wolves, knocked off the table then come back with a very strong display. Looking good for your boys.

    Leeds vs Derby

    I making a safe prediction that you didn’t go to the match at Bramall Lane. If you only each the Sky highlights then you’d think Derby were unlucky because the SU goals had an element of luck however if you saw the whole game you’d realise it was pretty one sided. United and Coutts In...

    Qpr v blades

    Listened to the live commentary. We started the match without 2 of our best players. The midfielders Fleck and Duffy. For this game Fleck was suspended and Duffy was rested, QPR scored really early from a freakishly lucky goal. Our goalie went for a high ball was was accidental fouled by our...

    Qpr v blades

    I keep predicting a draw but we keep on playing well and winning. Opposition teams often seem to have poor games or off days against us. We haven’t drawn for about 21 matches So yet again i’ll go for a 1-1 draw.
