Was loving us on SSN today. Said we were by far the better team.

Absolutely fuming over the VAR call too, even threatened to go home during the Baldock VAR.

Always had a soft spot for Pinnochio

It's a hard spot after today.

Wasn't so keen on him as Houllier's assistant but he is an ex Blade of course!

 

[Woodwardfan]

Wasn't keen on him as a Blades player either! Very poor.!

 

[The Hobott]

Charlie Nicholas loves us more.
The reaction was basically Spurs were awful and we were good. The fact that everybody has their worst game for years against us hasn't sunk in yet. Maybe we only notice it cos we follow every week.

R5 Live, we were the commentary game and they loooooooooooved us.

I'm gutted.

I'm gutted.

I listened to some of 1st half of 5live and they were very complementary.
They actually made the point several times that anyone might think that Spurs are having an off day
But they said it was the SU tactics and pressing that are making Spurs look so poor.
Both the commentators were very impressed with us saying we pass it around well and play good football.

They all have an off day.

Exactly,.... Why did, Spurs have such a crap game in the Champions League Final? Cos Liverpool didn't allow them to play their normal pissy passing game, just like us today, only difference is, they were allowed the 2-0 victory, and today we were robbed. VAR fuck off.

What's happened to Garth Crookes, I always value his opinion, not seen him lately

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

One of the most satisfying features of our performance today is how we got high pressed but still managed to pass & move without hoofing it.

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Wasn't keen on him as a Blades player either! Very poor.!

To be fair he was 63 when he signed.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

To be fair he was 63 when he signed.

Only his nose was, the rest of him was 62.

 

[Dnblade]

Only his nose was, the rest of him was 62.

He'd have no chance with VAR with that nose...although he'd never get that far forward to be caught offside.

Just read that it is Phil Thompson's 70th birthday today. It still surprises me that I have seen players play for us who are now in their 70s!

Given that I'm nearly 70 it doesn't surprise me

Old sparrow legs. Seen thicker legs on a garden sparrow than PT.

He was here for his final pay cheque unfortunately. Ken McNaught whonwas brought in from Villa at the same time and who was also in the twilight of his career, was a much better centre half for us.

 

[1973Blade]

Peter withe is even older

Just checked and Bobby Hatton is 77. I really feel old now!

 

[bornablade]

When Phil Thompson and Peter Withe played for us they both performed as if they were in their 70's back then.

Thompson, Withe, McNaught mentioned, all three European cup winners.. got me thinking how many more, Cowans, Rush, Walker, anymore?
