[Thrice]

The worst thing about this defeat is, you could actually see it coming.

 

[Shakespeare blade]

The players may want him out, but if so what a dreadful indictment of their attitude when paid huge sums to play football competitively.

I’m not saying I agree, but if you’re getting slated by him in the press and he’s taking no responsibility at all thinking he hasn’t been at fault think I’d be fucked off no matter how much I was paid

I think the players like him. He's always seemed to have a good relationship with his players. But it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't trust his tactics anymore.

 

[Chilttheblade]

Burnley in a hurry to fill their boots

 

[Sheffsteel]

Stuart Gray, the commentator on Talksport2 ,

said "things are very concerning for Sheffield United, even when they had 11 men I couldn't see what they were trying to do and I don't see how they can pick up many points this season, he said "many of the Sheff Utd players lack pride and are making it too easy for Burnley"

Basically he was saying, even this early in the season, we are down.

 

[b1ade4life]

NEXT GOAL WINS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Belvedere Blade]

I won't be surprised if there are not alot of empty seat on Wednesday night @ BDTBL in the home end because I am not going now V Liverpool as it looks like it could be another heavy defeat with how CLUELESS Hecky is.

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

I went for a shit on 72 minutes. It was a particularly difficult movement, and by the time I'd got back we were 5-0 down.

 

[Bladeslife]

NEXT GOAL WINS!!!!!!!!!!

Burnley look like their going to win that too

 

[skyjam]

|Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out Hecky out

“Hecky,Jack and Stuart must go”

 

[BangorBlade]

Ffs get Monty to the Lane PA asap

 

[XADE]

I won't be surprised if there are not alot of empty seat on Wednesday night @ BDTBL in the home end because I am not going now V Liverpool as it looks like it could be another heavy defeat with how CLUELESS Hecky is.

Surely he won't be here by then, whoever's fault it is, he's got to go tomorrow/Monday.

 

[SUFCinks]

They could’ve had a couple more as well. I think 5-0 is flattering us

 

[fintious maximus]

blimey, how many tickets did you have?

 

[71Blade]

Ffs get Monty to the Lane PA asap

That would cost money ... Not a chance

 

[mcbladeface]

I can just imagine a documentary narration:

Optimistic fan interviewed coming out of the stadium: "I mean there's two winnable games coming up, you've got to hope I s'pose."

"Sheffield United lost both games, 3 nil and 5 nil."

 

[Le Cynique]

I think the players like him. He's always seemed to have a good relationship with his players. But it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't trust his tactics anymore.

Tactics?

 

[Sheffsteel]

Micky Gray on Talksport 2 has just said

"there's a way to lose matches and when I look at Sheffield United they gave up as soon as they conceded"
"very comfortable win for Burnley, 5 goals and a 5 star performance, it's Burnley's 1st clean sheet of the season".

The other commentator is saying it looks like the Sheff United players have given up on the manager.
They were saying that you expect a replacement manager to be brought in, but said who would take the job? Micky Gray said, they could try to bring Wilder back and his first task would be, just to make us organised, give effort making us tough to beat.

The other commentator just said "the pre match comments from Heckingbottham about Burnley spending all that money on transfers but are below his team, have come back to bite him".

 

[Bell4]

been watching the blades home and away since 1970 and seen some pretty shite teams and players but this team is without a doubt the worst and softest they are an embarrassment to Sheffield steel

Same

From sept 1970 to this

Omg

 

[Snowflake]

I’m not saying I agree, but if you’re getting slated by him in the press and he’s taking no responsibility at all thinking he hasn’t been at fault think I’d be fucked off no matter how much I was paid

I agree. I was brought up to always give my best when either at work or playing and I don’t think I was paid over the odds when working or at all when playing.
Perhaps Osula and some of the youngsters are the answer for next season.

 

[Sheffsteel]

I can just imagine a documentary narration:

Optimistic fan interviewed coming out of the stadium: "I mean there's two winnable games coming up, you've got to hope I s'pose."

"Sheffield United lost both games, 3 nil and 5 nil."

The 3-1 loss (regards the actual result) to Bournemouth was the only positive.
They outclassed us, was a 3-1 massacre, a fairer scoreline would have been 5 or 6-0 to Bournmouth.

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

I feel sorry for the Burnley fans. They might get false hopes about survival after that fiasco.

 

[BettingBlade]

Who, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck is clapping the cunts off. Camera pans over to our fans and theres twats clapping them off.

Get the lot of them fucked off down the tunnel. Incompetent wankers,

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

Happy Birthday to me

At least enjoy a big slice of cake

 

[Steve.C]

I’ll repeat my words after Newcastle game.
SACK HIM

 

[Mendi]

This is sackable offence losing 5 nil.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Booing Sander worked well then fellas hope you are all justifiably proud of your actions.

No wonder our #9 is so popular with our Mensa level support .

Embarrassing just doesn’t cut it !!

UTB

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Fucking pitiful display, surely no one can defend him after this? He’s out of his depth and needs to go. Don’t care if he’s the nicest bloke in the world, he can’t manage a football team.

 

[Bobby b]

I've never ever managed a football team in my life and I know with absolute certainty that I couldn't do any worse than heckingbottom is doing this season, so when people say, if we sack him who would do a better job, and my answer to that is FUCKING ANYBODY

 

[toledo]

I have not felt this numb in many years.

Yes I have a life to live but my SUFC is a huge part of that so when I watch 90 minutes of absolute shite like today, I honestly don’t know how to react: anger, disappointment, or just move on.

Problem is I can’t move on, anything SUFC sets in my emotional self and this will stick for some time.

Maybe Liverpool putting 6 by us will help, at least I can reconcile that.
