It was as clear a penalty as it could possibly be! A high boot into Murphy's midriff, even his defensive colleague knew it was a clear foul and motioned exactly what he'd just done.

I'm not sure he's getting away with it, he is under pressure and any more games without a win will make it very uncomfortable for him. On reflection Unitedites have been very patient with what has been - cup apart - a really poor season. Without the League Cup Semi I'd go as far to say he may...

Really not sure what's going on in Clough's head right now, seems delighted to get these away points which is all well and good if you are winning at home. But we aren't. It would also make sense to protect 1-0 leads if we had a defence that doesn't concede every game. But we don't. Our play is...

There's only two points in it, and this is with Barnsley having had a pretty ropey time of it. Plus with the owner of Oldham wanting out, the future is more uncertain there than at Oakwell. It says something for the madness of L1 that Barnsley can sack their manager, get stuffed 5-1 at Crawley...

The no away fans in The Strawberry was always a bit of a myth, been there a couple of times and no problems at all. Act like a twat and I'm sure you'd get a clip, but that's the same for most places. The only place I'd still not drink near the ground is at The Den, but with The George at London...

We've won there 2-0 on the previous occasions we've played at Crawley, and I like that score, so 2-0 Blades would be very nice. We are due a clean sheet, that's for sure.

1,677 Blades at Rochdale.

We may have been more direct tonight than usual - Clough said as much and credited Rochdale's hard work for that - but one game doesn't make us hoofers. Sometimes you have to mix it up. We have tonight and got the win so all credit to Clough and the lads.

I used to go there mainly for the chicken curry and chips they sold on the away end, best football ground snap I've had by some distance. Generally a good atmosphere there too, plus you have the amusing sideshow of the mongs stood to the away ends left who spend all game making throat slitting...

There is generally an element of pick and choose involved in away games given the overall cost of the day, it's only the very hard core who will go to every game, most of which were at Ashton Gate. With a few aways lined up, it was always likely that Notts County and Rochdale next week would get...

2,936 Blades at Meadow Lane tonight. Amazing what a couple of wins can do...

A big win for the Blades, we can only hope that finally this is the statement of intent we've been craving all season to go on a winning run. If we can go to Bristol City and win well, and with no further games against the teams presently in the top 4, then there is no reason we can't go on a...

An important game for United, and given that Clough has recently stated that his squad would be more suited to Championship football they now have their chance against a side who are clearly bound for there next season. It may strangely help us to play a side who will attack from the off as it...

It's a shocker of a midweek trip. It's even worse - as happened to me - if your car breaks down afterwards and you get a couple of the local prostitutes stopping by wondering if you fancied some. This made my girlfriend of the time who was with me laugh plenty, but she soon piped down when the...
