So the longest winless run in the club's history is finally over. But was it actually worse than our other extended winless runs? Let's take a dive into our glorious history...
2020 - 2021 (20 games)
Running from the final three matches of the 2019/20 to the first 17 of this season. No real thrashings, however. Standout Moments of Shitness:
Southampton 3-0 Blades
Palace 2-0 Blades
Blades 0-1 Everton
1975 - 1976 (19 games)
Got our first win of the season against Burnley in our 9th game (23 Sep 1975) and then didn't win again until 14th Feb 1976 (2-1 vs Villa). I wasn't alive at this point, so maybe someone can elaborate, but these look like our Standout Moments of Shitness:
Wolves 5-1 Blades
Villa 5-1 Blades
Blades 1-4 Man U
1990 (16 games)
Our first win of the season came at the 17th attempt - 3-2 vs Forest on 22 Dec 1990. As many will know, we miraculously finished mid table this season. Standout Moments of Shitness:
Spurs 4-0 Blades
Norwich 3-0 Blades
Blades 0-2 Sunderland
2010 - 2011 (14 matches)
The Mickey Adams season. This run essentially relegated us from the Championship. Standout Moments of Shitness:
Ipswich 3-0 Blades (+ red cards for Kozluk and Williamson)
Scunthorpe 3-2 Blades (we were two goals up after 7 minutes)
Blades 0-1 Derby (they were 9 games winless themselves)
