Did you just see that? Did you?
An absolutely incredible performance by every Sheffield United player.
100% effort, 100% determination, 100% commitment. 100% brilliant Blades.
Whatever happens this season, this will be a night I will remember for a long time to come.
We needed that. I needed that.
Thank you, Chris Wilder. Thank you, United.
Finally! A win! And a well-deserved one at that.
I’ve been doing some rudimentary calculations and I reckon that we can still win the league.
Onwards and upwards!
We were without power for the first 11½ hours of the day thanks to a fault and I had to manually grind my coffee beans for the first two cups of the day and it was all just sheer hell on earth.
The power came back on just in time for the beers to get cold again ahead of this afternoon’s FA Cup football. Which I can now also watch.
Talking of which, did you see this first win of the season? Lovely.
Otherwise, you well?
Yeah, I mean, I was being sarcastic about the hell on earth thing, obviously.
Not your usual music post here, because it’s just a short clip of a song and it’s a busker’s version of The Cranberries Zombie from The Moor in Sheffield:
Great song. Lovely sound.
This is an interesting mashup cover of The Verve and Radiohead as well.
After last night’s match against Manchester United, where we lost by the odd goal, but probably deserved to get something out of the game, I’m planning to write to the FA today to ask for a slight rule change regarding the awarding of points.
Under my proposed system, a win would be worth 3 points (no change), a draw would be worth 1 point (no change), but a third category: “lost by the odd goal, but probably deserved to get something out of the game” would be added, worth, let’s say, a couple of points.
I’ve been doing some rudimentary calculations and if this was instituted and backdated to the beginning of the season, we’d be in the Champions League places now.
Please join my campaign.
A much better performance from us last night: you know you’ve got teams worried when – even though you’ve made the worst start to a top flight season EVER and lost eight league games in a row for the first time EVER – the billion pound teams are getting players booked for time-wasting so that they can scrape a win.
Onward and upward. Possibly.
