Ok, so you can use Sharps stats from years ago to make a point but I can't use sherears? Good way of making your point I suppose

You're being silly why am I using Sharp's states from tyears ago? I don't need to he scored 21 goals last season.

Barmy.

 

[Kenilworth]

Seems to me that we are the football equivalent of a game of Jenga at the moment.

An expensive one, one we've paid well over the odds for and didn't check out that some of the pieces are cack.

Oooh, look. Somebody is taking another piece out.




FUUUCK!

 

[LenTednTony]

Clarke, categorically, is. We beg to differ.

Stay tuned !

UTB

Clarke is ever likely to be shite when he is being used as a target man. He doesn't seem that kind of player to me. I think he needs to be running at the defence and muscling past them not turning with his back to them as he can't turn, he's too slow (just like Billy). Billy is no good playing off of him so...........where do we go from here?

 

[Rodders]

He is an overpaid player and thinking of his car (see below photo) winds me up when he doesnt have a good game especially in the 3-0 defeat against Southend last week.

How new are his alloys?

 

[Caveblade]

Nah complaining that a footballer drives a flash car is silly, like I said we all know footballers are over paid. Like someone has already mentioned he has had a good career commanded some good fees, earned a good living and spent a lot of his career in a higher league. He is bound to have a bit of cash laying about for a nice motor.

Would it make any difference if he kept the cash in the bank and drove around in a milk float?

One of my colleagues has a brand new Range Rover and the other has an Aston Martin, not much change out of £100k there either and I don't judge them when they come to work, it's their money to spend as they please. If they want to spend a large amount of their salary on an expensive car that's their choice it's their money.

Not silly, it's just a perspective, modern footballers and their salaries are ludicrous and completely out of perspective. It is one of the things that turns people off from the modern game.

As for your colleagues you are quite right that they can do as they wish with their money. I learnt a long time ago that the flashness of the car means little about the class of the person. Indeed the classier and wealthier people are often the ones who don't need to buy the flash car to broadcast their status to the world.

As for Drinks blades comments on Billy and his career, you are quite right, it was more a comment in general on where we are as a club and there ain't no austerity in that car park, with plenty of players with bugger all careers to speak of in flash motors.

It is different perspectives, and that is the essence of this board, that we can share those differences positively.

 

[LenTednTony]

It's vital that several players score goals. A successful return of 20 for Sharp and 15 for Clarke won't give us more than 35 goals, which if no one else chipped in, obviously would see us relegated.

.......unless they were all 1 - 0 wins!

I agree with the sentiment that footballers earn too much money but I don't blame the players for that, what was Billy supposed to do? Say no thanks I don't want the money, and would you honestly be happier if he had £100k in the bank and drove around in a 1988 for Escort?

Back on point I'm frustrated that Blades fans seem to have an agenda against Sharp and I genuinely don't understand it, he's had a bad start to the season but was our top scorer last year, he loves the club as far as I can tell and he's trying to get used to a new system.

Let's be honest non of our players have covered themselves in glory at the start of this season and I can't get my head around why last years star striker is getting more abuse than anyone else.

If we keep selling our best players and not replacing them we will go down.

"Loves the club..." Alert. "One of our own" expected imminently....

I would have thought being a born and bred Blade would give him a bit of good will with most Blades fans. Apparently not, perhaps it's jealousy that he's living their dream.

 

[Lord Bos of Eckington.]

Or the sign of a player who has enjoyed a successful career, made millions, been transferred for millions, Has a goal scoring record pretty much second to none outside the PL.

Jealousy is a cruel mistress

UTB

Fuck me . I cannot believe why anyone is even questioning what car he drives . He has had a successful albeit mediocre career. . Good luck to the fella now and in the future .

If he stays at the lane , pull your socks up . If he leaves the lane . Again good luck to him.

I have no agenda against Sharp, I think he is a genuine guy and for sure will be hurting as much as us with the start to the season.

 

[Caveblade]

You sir, win the most ridiculous post of today.

Congratulations, your prize is a personalised number plate - BSII ARP

Followed quickly by the most pompous post. It is called a different opinion, just because you view life differently, it does not require you to belittle other people.

 

[DaddyDozy]

If you are an outsider it will be interesting to see how all this plays out. The McCabe years will become a case study of how not to run a football club.

My lass is doing a management course and was actually given a case study on United and our poor management.. and this is in New Zealand where they don't even know what football is!

 

[MobileBlade]

It was at Archer Road but he definitely looked liked he had been arguing with Leon Clarke

Thought you were going to say Halifax Road......

 

[Blade56]

My lass is doing a management course and was actually given a case study on United and our poor management.. and this is in New Zealand where they don't even know what football is!

1. What was the case studies observation on our poor management?
2. What where her recommendations?
3. Where her recommendations acted on by United?
4. Is your lass to blame for our current league position?
5. If yes when did you get divorced?

Haha that is fucking amazing.

Just spotted Billy Sharp shopping in Sainsburys. Didn't ask anything as he was with the family. Not sure why I've posted this to be honest

...bit disappointed it wasn't Aldi...can go for me now..

It's called Bladey Bladeness. It's bollocks.

Do you get paid every time you post Bladey Bladeness or something?

No mate. I give up my time freely to serve common sense in the ongoing battle against nonsense. It's a tough job on here...

I have not posted much on this forum, or read that much to be honest. Maybe I am missing a bit of an inside joke or something. Are you meaning that him being a blade means nothing? If so I actually don't disagree with you, it just seems in this instance that him being a Blade is somehow working against him. Some of the stuff I have seen written about him on here but mainly on Twitter is so bitter and uncalled for.

The stuff about the car he drives is just ridiculous.

He could drive about in the fucking Space Shuttle for all I care as long as he was doing the business.

It's butt ugly for a Porsche though.

So do me and Ms Crab when we go shopping to be fair.

Both nicer than that Porsche imho

To be fair though, your point is a fair one, if people who are in a line of work where they earn a lot of money (whether we think they "earn" it or not) then of course they are going to spend it. I would, it'd be an Aston and wall to wall Breitlings and Omegas all the way.

My main criticism of Sharp is how ugly that Porsche is, if you're buying a £100k car at least buy something nice.
