Isn’t that sexist? Any bloke hitting a bloke is also a c***. Violence is deplorable at any level. Although there are always exceptions ;-)

Agree, I went to the old Elm Park a few times in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Was there when a young Shaka Hislop made several stunning saves against us at Elm Park. 6,769 would be classed as a good attendance for Reading in them days. I always used to think of them as a smallish club, similiar...

Can’t believe it..Reading get a soft penalty But it’s saved..... The radio presenter is furious...saying the match should have been over at half time but we’ve let Reading back into the game. Yeh........Sharp again......3-1 to United.

Typical..Reading pull a goal back from nothing, now 1-2. The radio presenter is still confident and mentioned this season we seem to concede ONE goal almost every match, we rarely keep a clean sheet. Attendance just been announced They said a terribly low 6,769 with 730 away fans. That must be...

2-0 now, spectacular goal from Duffy. It’s no more than we deserve, been surprisingly comfortable. Should be 3 or 4 nil really. Reading have been really poor, players just seem happy to play a nice but slow patient short passing game, looking pretty but not causing any damage. Expect Reading...

Bad luck for Blades. Looks like both Leon Clarke and the goalie Blackman might have suffered a relatively serious injuries, radio think they’ve both pulled his hamstrings. Both have been substituted.

Listening to it live on the radio. We’ve had 2 great chances already, could easily be 2-0 up inside 10 minutes. Leon has a great chance again...goalie saves it but Sharp scores the rebound. Sheffield United 1-0 up already and playing better, although Reading have been poor so far and our 2...

Last game away to Hull was probably our worse display in the 20 months Wilder has been in charge. Wilder was interviewed yesterday and he’s still really angry and upset. He really laid into the players accusing them of lacking desire. Amazingly he actually admitted he’s now lost interest in the...

Wouldn’t get too down, Fulham are currently the best team in the Championship. Wolves have earnt themselves plenty of breathing space. Nothing to worry about yet, I’m 99% sure you’ll be fine to still finish in the autos and be promoted.

Good points. It’s all relative I suppose. Always used to think Leeds had poor-ish home support numbers wise, although the recent high prices don’t help matters. A city (including the outskirts) slightly bigger than Sheffield, much more success than Sheffield in living memory. I would expect...

In his post match interview Steve Bruce admitted that at the time he thought it was a soft pen But he says he’s since seen a video replay and can see it definitely was a penalty.

QPR started well and put us under pressure in the 1st 10 minutes. Then SU gradually started to exert some dominance and created chances. We deservedly went 1-0 up, which was the half-time score. QPR started the 2nd half well too putting us under pressure but again SU gradually took control And...

But in the 80’s and early 90’s I had spells of going to more always then I missed, used to go on Shreds coaches from The Greyhound at Attercliffe. Did the obvious thing of going to grounds I’d never been to. But I’ve never claimed to be a top Blade like you, any regular away traveller deserves...

My brother and niece are Wednesday season ticket holders and go to about a third of the away games too. He keeps me updated about how your team are playing. I’ve little choice but to show some interest. I’m polite like that.

It’s a fair excuse but maybe it’s a red herring let’s not forget that even when the players above have all played some performances have still been really poor. The 1st match of the season away to Preston with a full strength team ended in defeat, a really poor performance with hardly a shot at...

I went to Grenada in the mid 90’s. Stayed at the Rex Granadian hotel. It’s a beautiful island and wasnt as touristy as some of the other Carabbean islands.

Thought we were solid/ ok today but we lack that star quality to push for the play-offs. Thought it was 2 decent (mid table ish) sides playing today and we just about edged it to deserve the win. At least the pressure is off and our next 5 matches are all against (on paper) weak teams and look...

Any way I thought this thread might be all about Sheffield Wednesday. It’s totally baffling but It seems that the whole SW first team is out injured, several are unavailable long term. Good job SW built up such a strong squad, even Wednesdays 2nd 11 are half decent and should be good enough to...

Wilder would have said exactly the same. He’s built up a reputation for being honest and fair. Away at Leeds there was a tackle on George Baldock worse than that, a clear 2 footed lunge. In the post match interview Wilder didn’t slag off the Leeds player demanding it was red card. Instead he...

Whitehurst challenged Vinny Jones when they were both at Sheff Utd, had him pinned up against a wall and Jones backed down scared. Whitehurst used to challenge supposed hardmen if they stepped out of line, confrontation/ intimidation and having a scrap excited him. He was interviewed on...
