Nothing is won yet

[Antonb]

I don't really get this, you don't win anything in November , no shit sherlock. But we need as many points as we can to secure promotion . We just have to keep going for as long as it takes to get over the line. That means keep winning games of football Wheather it's now or Christmas or April . We will have a blip, but hopefully we will have enough points on the board so that it won't derail us in the end. But we need to keep getting them points .

It's a tough position but the best one to be in in that anyone we sign needs to be of real quality. I'd still like some genuine width to our game, and an enforcer would be good too, but we'll be shopping in a different market to the one I was expecting. No need to risk upsetting the balance of the squad by bringing in more bench warmers.

Quite right, and Tufty won't. He will look to improve the team, though. I think he'll be very tempted to go back in for one of his main centre-back targets. He didn't bring Jake in as a regular starter and will still have that at the back of his mind, excellently though Wright is playing. Not saying he should, just a hunch...

 

[Tyler Durden]

I know. I was agreeing with you.

Course you were.....

 

[Tyler Durden]

That record would be even more impressive if he'd had a good start with us

This unbeaten streak must really hurt someone like you.......

it's beginning to look like my campaigning to have Adkins sacked so we could replace him with Wilder was a master stroke : D

Thanks Brian.

But this team is beginning to look quite special.

Goals from defence, goals from midfield, and goals from our strikers.

I've heard stories that Leon Clarke doesn't care but I saw him celebrating goals he didn't score while on the pitch today and then turns up with a top class goal himself.

Winning games that we don't play well in such as MK Dons and a really poor first half today excites me as much as the games where we dominate and win by several goals.

Signing players that performed exceptionally last season IN THIS LEAGUE such as Fleck and Duffy was good business.

Replacing a weak link goalkeeper with an expensive but much superior replacement in Moore was good business.

And making the players care about playing for Sheffield United again was probably the best thing he's done.

We're only a third in and nothing is won yet, but it's beginning to look like my campaigning to have Adkins sacked so we could replace him with Wilder was a master stroke : D

Finally you are right Pete, the time for continuity has probably arrived. Still the same "tosspots" in the Boardroom too.

Nothing won yet but every part of the club is 'United' at long last, there are sound Wilder foundations to build on and they have been put in place in such a short time and he is way in credit on cash flow.

Not everyone. At one nil down yesterday there was someone a few rows behind us slagging off most of our team. Then another Blade had a go at him and told him to get behind the team. They almost came to blows. We really have to get behind the team, even when we are losing. We ARE going to lose games and that is when the team really needs us.

I see whats happening here, we're going to get 115 points and finish third ffs

 

[Boxer Blade]

People saying take one game at a time, nothing won in November, December etc. I dont understand to why bother saying it, I have never heard anybody actually say that it is won, real Madrid? bayern, man utd? nah, why? because we all fucking know it isn't won, like any fan in the country doing well in November I want to enjoy the moment, look forward with confidence and hope its our year.

It's best to live for the moment. Start thinking too much about the future and it becomes an endless repetitive cycle of 'will we go up, will we stay up, will we get to the PL, will we stay there, how many years can we stay there, will we win a cup, we're bound to go down sometime, will it be this season, oh god, we've been relegated, will we get back up.....
Until you die.

Oh sorry !!!

Did I have the audacity to call us shit when we were shit
Did it hurt your feelings
Ahhh diddums

 

[Tyler Durden]

Ahhh diddums

Which is the only time you show up of course, in characteristic simpering, whining fashion.
I also doubt that you have the capacity to hurt anyones feelings quite frankly but hey ho.

 

[JJBlade]

What you so upset about then

Team plays well I'll praise them
Team plays bad I'll ignore it

Team is diabolically atrocious in a pub league for 6 years and I won't lap it up like a demented clapping seal

Glad that most of our fans won't accept shit either

This is so true. Start gazing into the future too much and the bitter memories of past failures/cruel fortune inevitably come to mind. Then your thoughts turn to the owners/boardroom & stupid old plans of Europe in 5 years & expanding a ground that already holds 32,000 , in order to get World Cup matches. But concentrate on the sheer enjoyment of the second half at Chesterfield and warm memories return of Colin Morris crossing for Edwards or Woody crossing for Addison , Tudor or Dearden. Getting to the Premiership is for the owners. Standing for 90 minutes with 2,761 mates having an absolute blast of a time with a team on the front foot in any league is why I go. Darlington away in 1982 or MK Dons away in 2012. The highs , the lows - what makes a Blade ? We are seeing a potentially excellent team just now. But try to forget the long-term. Anything could happen. Billy could get injured and not replaced in January. Or we could sign Ched and have 3 strikers capable of being 20 goal men. That's the romance of following a team. The next game is all that matters. The future will take care of itself. The owners might be generous benefactors or complete crooks , most of us will never have enough evidence to call it. But even they can't control the future , so I certainly can't. Life's a journey , not a destination - just enjoy the ride , exciting bends & nasty bumps included. Fuck me , I should write a book

I have to say I'm really getting a lot of enjoyment out of this season by not thinking about where we will end up.

Coming in, my expectations were not high, and that view seemed justified after 4 games...but now? I never expected to be doing so well. As far as I am concerned we are playing with house money at the moment.

I haven't been so pleasantly surprised by a United side since the Bassett years.

The big problem for 'big clubs' is expectation, or maybe 'unrealistic expectation'.

The extra pressure is for a club with 20000 crowds in League 1, but at the end of the day it's 11 v11 over 46 games. We will always be only as good as our manager....and his players....and our injuries....and our luck.
