Spain are the best possession team in international football, but they struggled to create a single chance against a limited Russia. Their patient tippy tappy possession football looked boring and old fashioned and they received plenty of negative criticism. Just shows how times change.

Sterling is in that category of players that often receives criticism. He’s very quick and talented but seems to play off the cuff as though he doesn’t really know what he’s doing. But if Raheem Sterling doesn’t know what he’s going to do next then you can bet the defenders have no idea too...

Totally agree, well done to Cov. Doyle and McNulty both played at Sheff Utd. Doyle was crap but was generally popular at SU due to having a great attitude, Captain material and would run through brick walls for the club. McNulty was the opposite, sometimes looked talented with a bit of class...

Think Fulham are clearly the better, more expansive, more entertaining team. But suspect Bruce will set up tactics concentrating on negating and stopping Fulham. Villa have more know how than Fulham and know how to win ugly. Think Fulham are a poor mans Man City, very pretty on the eye...

Very true. Even if you get relegated next season with a record low points total you club will get parachute payments for 2 more years. So you can’t lose really. Warnock has financially stabilised your club for the next few years. It’s amazing how Warnock gets so much out of players. He did an...

Living in Sheffield when you go to school, people you meet for the first time say “Are you a Unitedite or a Wednesdayite”? In them days it never entered your head to support a Man Utd or Liverpool and to be fair 90% of the white school kids were Blades or Owls. Although many of the Pakistani...

Got to admit, I was laughing at you over confidence Benladdie, just thought you were on the wind up So didn’t even bother giving you a reply. However I have to give Warnock and his team full credit. Congratulations and good luck to Cardiff City in the Premier League. Warnock doesn’t have a good...

1st Steve Highway at Liverpool 2nd Glen Hoddle at Spurs 3rd Alex Sabella at Sheff Utd For United Tony Currie left the season after I started going so it has to be Alex Sabella. We had pre-agreed a deal to bring in a 16 year old Diego Maradona but they raised the price slightly at the last...

Get it now.....makes no sense though. If Barnsley do reciprocal pricing then why charge us more then we charge them? Maybe it’s because we don’t do reciprocal pricing? Agree I’m not as bigger supporter as you and know my place ;-) I’ve done my time going away in the 80’s and early 90’s but full...

I always understood you can’t make up a figure to charge away fans. The rule is away fans MUST be charged the same as home fans in similar facilities. So if Barnsley wants to charge Bolton £32, they’d also have to increase prices to charge their own fans £32 too. Many clubs kind of get around...

Suspect a normal Bolton home fixture would have been a cat B pricing But we played them over the popular Christmas week, so can understand why we increased it to cat A pricing. Sheffield Utd don’t have tit for tat reciprocal pricing. We just charge cat B for the least attractive games where...

Agree it’s a must not lose for Millwall But for Sheff Utd it’s a must win...like the game tonight against Boro was also a must win. Hopefully I’m not tempting fate but teams that approach matches focussing on a win Usually do better than teams that focus on not losing. I’m been saying for...

Sheffield United average nearly 27,000 this season but haven’t won a trophy since the 1925. Newcastle have been in a few cup finals and even in Europe several seasons. Whereas Sheffield United last cup final was 1936 and never been in Europe. However SU have been in loads of FA cup semi...

Bradford City are traditionally a smallish club BUT do have big potential. Thought Sheff United were bad but Bradford City must be up there as the most under achieving big city club in Europe. Reading are similiar to Wigan, traditionally even smaller than Bradford but neither have the same fan...

Hope so. We’ve got some big games coming up. It’s still all to play for. Bioro, Millwall then Preston NE at home Barnsley, Brum and Bristol City away.

Regards strikers they all offer different things. This season for Sheff Utd. Sharp- our best finisher, always tends to get his shots on target, he’s a SU fan and plays like one, always works really hard. However he lacks pace, has no height or physicality and his link up play is average. Tends...

The problem is that we’ve played well and dominated in many games this season and still not won. We seem to be a bit unlucky but it’s happening too often so it’s not luck. We’ve not stole a single match this season but we’ve conceded quite a few last minute goals scored against the run of play...

No it’s not. You’re like the forum policeman. Bet you was class monitor at school. Although I do respect that you do a fantastic job collating the stats, it’s a thankless task and is genuinely appreciated. For the record Wednesday get good loyal support, especially away, historical facts prove...

Wednesday have a category system from A down to G. Category A is £42 for away fans Category G is £20 for away fans. Others categories for away fans are £39, £36, £33, £30 and £27. Wednesday had their cat G offer against Bolton. £20 all areas for home and away fans. Hence why the home and away...

Listened to the live commentary. The summariser said Sheff Utd were average but Ipswich were poor and there for the taking. And it’s a chance that’s gone, based on chances SU deserved to win 1-0. The radio commentator at the end of the match said that Ipswich look like a set of good players...
