ITV "Highlights"

I'm surprised you lot are surprised by it.

Let's face it - we are Sheffield United: since the sixties a team that the general media chooses to fuck off at their leisure, but the team from whom most of footballing legend emanates. We've always been the shitbox side and one for whom the greater measure of footballing gravity will evade. Course, there are bigger clubs. But Sheffield United is always one of those who will either shock or provide impetus to chide.3

So it is today. After five or six seasons of ubiquity followed by the reign of Warnock, we have been every excuse to ignore. The team is pretty city centre and working class, we have never really played pretty football since Currie and Woodward and have no players of any notoriety, certainly none who fuck Spice Girls, get pissed once too often or gob off to journos. In fact all we have are rapists and former jailbirds who now can't perform.

So, we are not saleable. And we are facing Aston Villa, a team on paper who should basically pull down the shorts of our team and bum them whilst smoking a fag and doing suduku. In fact, their manager rates this competition such that he openly berates it, therefore devaluing any effort his opposition puts in over 90 minutes win, lose or draw. And Prince William supports them, for fucks sake. So why should the company that brings us such high quality programming (like Jeremy Kyle) bother with such industrial shitwipe? Fucking Arsenal and Spurs are on. Ignore such ties like Grimsby and Huddersfield (fuck me, what a game) and concentrate on the actions of a cunt falling 'injured' and making wrong, unsportsmanlike gestures to opposition supporters whilst being ferried king-like on a fucking stretcher. This is an England international. Were the FA so aligned they'd ban the little wanker for six months. In fact, were it Shaun Miller in front of Sheffield Wednesday supporters, I don't doubt he'd attract such censure.

So don't worry. Nobody likes us. We don't care.

FA cup is back on the beeb again next season. ITV is shit, I could produce a football progragmme - show the game and get somebody who can provide some insight to talk about it - piece of piss.
 
Black spot of the day for me ,not the miss but the dogs abuse he got from round me , Doyle got the same for a misplaced pass ,yet Baxter got an 'unlucky lad' for a worse one.
Aye..... bloke next but one to me gave Porter, Doyle & Flynny awful abuse even at 1-0, with Flynn getting the lion's share of this bloke's vile tongue.
When Flynn hit the winner, I couldn't resist interrupting my manic screaming by leaning across my son who had the misfortune to be next to him and 'politely' asking him his new opinion of RF at this point :)

However, just a minor irritation in what was a most unexpectedly great day. Saw a few faces I'd not bumped into for a while and the thick brummie occupying the seat directly behind me turned out to be none other than Paul Devlin, sat in the middle of Blades fans willing us to beat the Villa he so obviously hates! Mind you he pissed off at 1-1 with the parting comment of " I'd better fuck off early as I'll get lynched out there if the Blades win it" As he disappeared down the gangway Flynny pops in the winner...... hope you made it home in one piece Paul!:eek::eek:
 
I nearly passed out in shock that it wasn't extended highlights of Arsenal v Spurs. Usually ITV like to show a like match, have the news, then show highlights of that same match for an hour. They are utter garbage. Having said that, just listening to talk sport this morning and fat Quinn said 'let's not forget a great win for sheffield united yesterday' reply by bint 'yes great win'. Quinn 'Now let's talk for 10 minutes about Andy Carroll being injured'.
Ok, slight exaggeration but you get the idea.
 
I pressed rewind on sky + about 20 times for the "RYAN FLYYYYYNNNNNNNN!!!!!!" moment.
 
Terrible coverage from ITV.

Badly edited, Martin Allens tank top with spider guest & just general amateur shite from top to bottom.

I also watched the first half of gooners v spurs.

I dont think Adrian Chiles could stutter, repeat himself ten times or say ''errrrrr'' in between every word anymore than humanly possible. No wonder Roy Keane always looks like he wants to smack him. He also called Arsenal, Man United at one point!!!!
 
Not seen it yet can't lift my head off pillow ... Stats show blades 5 on target and villa 2 but I'm guessing the highlights didn't reflect that?

Thank god the fa cup goes back to beeb from next season
 
Allow Mr Paul Calf,esquire, to give his eloquent and considered verdict on ITV's coverage yesterday night...

BAG O'SHITE!
 

I was just impressed we were on first! When was the last time that happened?! And it meant the missus didn't complain about me watching a load of matches I didn't want to watch just waiting for us to come on!!
 
Don't .................................................. you .............................................. like.................................................. Matt Smith .............................................. and his .................................................. big ................................................... gaps ................................................ between .................................................................................................................... words ?
 
Absolutely piss poor coverage and pundits.
Apologies if others have said it before but in addition to the poor highlights, they spent just over 2mins talking about Lambert & Villa & 40secs discussing United - WTF?!

That was the really galling bit. I had a feeling the highlights themselves would be poor quality as it wasn't a game anyone had televised (so we only got one angle of the goals etc), but the pundits could have at least discussed us in a bit more depth.

I haven't seen Doyles last ditch tackle n the closing minutes mentioned anywhere ,fantastic effort.
 
I like the papers too, the Sunday mirror said our second goal was scored by the veteran winger Ryan Flynn ?
 
Particularly impressed how they managed to put the commentary, Graham Westley's interview and the voice over all at the same time for the Donny-Stevenage game. And missing all of the goals to show said interview. Classy.

Thank god the coverage is back on the Beeb from next season.
It was actually dingles v coventry, her talkover was played twice it meant that Donny Stevenage footage had commentary of Dingles match on it.
 
It was nice at the end though, seeing Macclesfield's equaliser against Wednesday and Flynn's goal making the top three goals of the day.

I think Espinosa at Wigan was robbed though.
