Good for them!  I missed it - but delighted to see no injuries and no one shown off the pitch.  This will hopefully bring into Saturday's away at Deepdale in good spirits and better form . . . I would like to see an advance to a promotion place this Saturday.

UTB!

Sheffield United cheapest team to support in the Football League

Quote
A total of £17.20 can buy a ticket to a game, a programme, a pie and a tea.
That makes a trip to Bramall Lane over £4 cheaper than any other League One club

Good win today - our away form is really strong (now, we just need to start pulling three points at home, too!)

Last 15 minutes were a nail-biter; so much impetuous youth in this side!

Worst match of the seasons. One- Nil to Norwich at Carrow Road and we (hopefully) couldnt have played the second half worse if we tried. The Ox possibly injured as well. Sigh.

Maybe they just needed to get that out of their system.  :goodgrl2:

Thanks for passing that on. I guess the fact that Sheffield was in the forefront of the british industrialization and the struggle of the working class serves a lot for that fact as football has always been a working class sport.


As for the PL, we're playing QPR this afternoon. After last weekends performance and the loss to Schalke in the CL, we need a good game now.



ETA: 80 minutes of finding a good use for newly practiced expletives later, we finally found the back of the net, or more correctly, Arteta did. Good to know how much strain the psyche can take and how high your pulse can get without actually dying. Important win, all in all.

Nearly lost my marbles tonight. Managed to miss Arsenal facing Reading. At halftime I kept getting tweets about us being down nil to 4. Kept following the match via twitter and after 60+ minutes of coronary failure, we ended up beating the snot out of Reading by 7 to 5. Amazing.




Even more so if I had actually seen it.

That would have been a great comeback to watch.  Sorry you missed it.

By a stroke of incredible luck I found a torrent so I could download the whole match. Just in time before spending a week locked in the flat, writing exam.

Had our arses handed to us by the Mancs. At least van Pursestrings didnt score or it wouldve gone from embarassing to humiliating.
