​

OK, a good win at Norwich, we bank the three points and move on. No throwing shirts into the crowd like those tossers at S6. Just another day at the office for The Blades.

Not much to report since ‘Memries of Preston’ on December 11th 2007 – just one meeting in fact.

Our most recent meeting came on 16th December, 2017 in a Championship game at Deepdale. This resulted in a narrow 0-1 defeat for the Blades:

Seems like we play Preston 4 times every season.

Can't believe we've only played them just over a hundred times.

The 3-3 draw when we were in with a very very slim chance of play off place ( poss 2004 ) about 40 of us from up our way getting shitfaced in Blackpool that weekend . Remember West Ham were at Wigan & Villa we’re playing nearby to ; made for a lively weekend at the seaside .
And the play off semi in 2009 good day out to ; never seen us win there always seemed to be they’d win at their gaff & we’d win at ours .
