Let’s face it, if they stay in League One next season that’s the end of the Netflix series and that’s a loss for all of us.

Might be harsh but I'd make useful subjects free and leave fees for indulgent ones.

Where's the Norwich/SAFC, Man city/SAFC, Everton/SAFC half and half?

I’m surprised they haven’t condemned that fountain after that wife had a dynamite in it.

Funny as fuck if they have a third season in the third division. Honestly, fucking amazing how their constant new manager bounce against us papered over the cracks to the extent it was a massive false economy where they've slid down the pan like a particularly runny diarrhoea looking back up at us in the distance. Shame, real shame that.

Remember when they were all weirdly buzzing to have a bloke who worked in PR to have influence at the club. It’s amazing to me they still follow us and pay as much attention to us as they do at this point. While we aren’t good it’s pretty unlikely we are going down this year based on the nearly half season so far, and they won’t be going up. At this point we’re light years apart footballing wise, yet they’re still trying to get insults in when we lose to Villa or draw with Wolves or something. Fucking weirdos.

Narrowly beaten by "Ponteland airport* for me.

Has anyone got any vinegar to go with the salt in this thread https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/sheffield-united-v-the-mouthbreathers.1496526/

Winter in a Walkers wonderland.

You and that Toonraider are basically this forum’s answer to Hale and Pace

Great result, but what credit? The result is a fluke. There could have been no complaints in losing by a couple of goals. Rather than demanding praise for Bruce you should praise the heroics from Dibravka...

Bruce will be loving getting the better of the massively praised Wilder. I imagine he’ll be having his shite facing the back of the bog tonight so he can open a few bags of crisps onto the lid and have a right feast.

Turns out it’s actually good. A fantastic invention.

When's the Trafalgar Square champions season on?

In a normal world, this would be devastating to the PM. But it won't be.

Illuminating, but depressing, thread. It's not looking good lads.

Mint.

I can't say that I've seen any evidence of our midfield being able to keep the ball mind. If they can why aren't they? Have Rafa's and now Bruces tactics been to purposely give away possession? Sean Longstaff maybe the one who could change this but not alongside Hayden.

Also “poocastle”.

Why do they always intentionally spell things wrong like 'Jurdees' for 'Geordies', 'kernt' for 'cunt' and now 'Rafa' being 'Wafa'. Are they fucking brain-dead?

I think the influence of printed media is waning though - I don't see that many undecideds choosing to buy the mail or telegraph.

We have centre halves with a great ability to hold the ball and midfielders like Hayden and Longstaffx2 who are excellent at keeping the ball. More bollocks

Went to see Whose Line is it Anyway? At the Comedy Store in Covent Garden. ‘Twas canny. Weird seeing Josie Lawrence about 30 years after I had a schoolboy crush on her

People in food banks saying they’ll vote for Johnson. I’m almost at the stage where I think they deserve what’s coming to them.

class that by neil last night. sadly though would've been missed by the profoundly stupid who are about to put their cross next to a tory mp's name for the first time. doubtless though these same people would've tuned in too see johnson being interviewed by a couple of fellow halfwits, one of who is famous for being a mate of gordon the fucking gopher and the other a stupid tart who may or may not have tongued baby spice. the country is fucked.

Aye but he didn't blow his whistle.

Graham Carr and his extensive scouting network of deals he can get a backhander off.

Perhaps that is why Rafa was not interested in him as a player, so who made the decision to buy an untried 40m player who would require a complete change to what has been a reasonably successful system? Penfold?

Gloom on holiday tbh

MEEKLANGLEYFTM seems like a clever chap

Is difficult to play as a lone front man when your nearest support is 30 yards away mind. I think there is a player in joelinton but he needs more support from midfield. He won’t get it in this system.

First thing that has to be said is great effort from almost everyone, and some credit to Bruce for quickly realising that the lads were more comfortable in the set up and tactics Rafa was using. Fortunately that set up pretty much nullified Sheff Utd's big strengths as a team. Secondly as much as Almiron frustrates me he at least brings effort, great defensive cover and work, and he carries the ball with pace up the pitch. Joelinton on the other hand, apart from that bright moment against Spurs and a decent assist against the 'ammers has been absolute shite. I could understand if he wasn't really suited to or used to being a target man given he hadn't played centrally for most of his career, but he can't even run defences without tripping over his feet. Perhaps he's just devoid of confidence but I don't see any signs of how or if he'll turn this around. I wouldn't be surprised if the rumour about his actual fee being 20m down and then 18m extra if we win a European competition, which of course is a joke proposition under Ashley, is true. 20m is still far too much on current evidence.

We’re riding our luck massively, Dubravka is keeping us afloat in games but he should get some credit for realising that Rafa is a better manager and decided to revert to his system after an embarrassing attempt at whatever he was trying to do pre-Leicester.

I've heard loads this season about Sheffield United playing with overlapping centre backs and what have you. I didn't realise they played without a goalkeeper as well.

Var! Huh! What is it good for? A second away goal since you're asking.

This game does remind me of this one; https://www.nufc.com/html/2004-05html/2004-11-07fulham-h.html

Class. Fucking brilliant example of playing to the whistle. Ridiculous from the Sheff Utd lot.

Marco Silva sacked. His name is now Marco Bronze.

I can’t believe it’s not butter

He is still a cunt though. I don’t care about the rest.

Steve Nickson I believe. We don't have the players at the moment to get a higher percentage posession. This can be achieved over the next few windows providing we stay up. I believe Joelinton will come good but will take time like some foreign players do. For now though, I'd rather have a team that has less posession and win games than a lot of posession and loses!

Marvelous!
