Our end of season inconsistencies continue to frustrate. I really do like our manager and would love to see him continue into next season with the benefit of money to spend and stability (and a new scoreboard and pitch!).

 

But I feel new owners tend to like to be new brooms and bring in a fresh face. Ironically we are in the best position for years.

 

 

We have some difficult games notably the novelty team Bournemouth away on Saturday and away to Watford on Easter Monday.

 

We are really going for high end merchandising these days 

 

 

Good result for you EC! Other results were kind for us too. That's the biggest drubbing we've taken all season!

 

Just been checking the results GJ. We snatched victory from the jaws of defeat there Lee 90 and Nuhiu 90. Especially pleased as it's a local derby against Rottenham.

 

So tight at the top of the table, it's going to be an exciting end to the season for those pushing for promotion. I still think you will get automatic promotion, the Derby and Watford losses going for you.

 

So both halves of Sheffield are happy tonight then EC? 

 

You would think so wouldn't you Moonie, but the red side are feeling somewhat mixed (I am just listening to the local radio). Some are OK with the result others less so, the big talking point is that they will play in white shirts with red trim next year, no stripes!

 

 

Looks like Sunderland have stabilised the ship.

I know one Blade who will be livid if that's true EC 

We're slipping *worries*  and I don't want Carver to get the job   Never have done

I think he is just a stop gap appointment until the summer Sprouty 

Hopefully

Extraordinary sending off at the start of the second half of the Liverpool v Man U match Likely to make headlines.

 

Really surprising who it was too 

Exactly. And not a player one would have expected to see put on this list of the fastest red cards:

He is speedy, even for an old un El 

Bit late in the game but I'm surprised that Skrtel, the guy who sounds like a North East term for a particular sexual procedure, wasn't sent off either.

 

I had a few quid on United to win and win/win  Rooney to score anytime  but I thought the bet of the day was Chelsea to win/win! Strange game football.

 

Just watched the highlights, good spot by the ref as the dirty Gerrard did stamp down on the ankle and red was the right decision.

 

As for De Gea, yes he gets caught by Skirtle, but goes from rolling around on the floor injured to jumping up and getting into Skirtle's face, then goes back to hobbling off!! Come on man, make your mind up. 

 

Ballotelli was a lucky boy, he could have gone too if the Liverpuddle fans had not held him back, another fella with a short, short fuse.

 

 

 

Losing at Bournemouth turns out to be an advantage. Sky have decided that we have no chance and are televising watford's game and Bournemouth's game instead.

Thus my travel tickets are valid. Department of utter joy.

 

In the table of longest serving football managers I spotted this...

 

Nigel Clough			Sheffield United		Oct 2013	1 yr, 152 dys
Aitor Karanka			Middlesbrough		Nov 2013	1 yr, 131 dys
Stuart Gray			Sheffield Wednesday		Dec 2013	1 yr, 112 dys

 

 

 

 

Well done Mr Rooney 

3-0! I don't recognise a couple of our players. Are they civilians who bid for a chance to play on the Children in Need auction?

Haha Joe!   I think he's building for the future

I keep thinking they're playing the Aussies though 

Wow! What a start for his senior career!

Well done, but they have to keep his feet on the ground 

 

Looks like we have a split fixture list next week. Some playing Friday and the others (Us) Saturday.

 

 

 

Italy v England

 

These ITV commentators really need to think up some new material. Yet again we are subjected to a predictable "Italian Job" & "Michael Caine" reference. Which he got wrong and had to correct himself, Mr Caine & crew did not get away with the gold.

 

 

 

 

I've been watching the game on delay and quite enjoyed it.
However it will be good to get back to normal service on Friday. I do suspect that my great aunt Meggie will be spinning in her grave knowing that there are games on Good Friday but.

Any of you catch the item on Radi0 4 this morning on the Today program

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05nvgpy

It starts at 1 hour 45 minutes.

 

Only seven games left. I hope we can win tomorrow since no doubt we will be humiliated on the telly box on Monday.

We are top of the league (again)

 

Raheem Sterling....

So it's not about money then?

It's about winning trophies...

Bullspit 

 

If you said to Mr Sterling, here's two trophies a year and a £1000 a week for your playing career or here's a £100,000,000 a week and no trophies all your playing career, I know which one he would pick 

 

Nuff said 

 

If you had had my Baggies to lose 4-1 you would have had a monumental treble 

That's unfortunate Velvet  

Yep, all is ok with me fankoo. I hope all is well in your world too 

Yes indeedy 

Pah! 

Well at least you didn't lose 4-1 at home like we did yesterday 

Sympathy
