An immense victory tonight

But I do not and cannot accept that the WBA men are some kind of super team.
Just overhyped, overrated, and very erratic.
There are three better teams and Sheffield United are definitely of them.
Terrific management by Chris Wilder.

Just need to go to Elland Road and Hillsbrough and get six points or should that be 3 points and 3 oinks....
 
Out of interest (as somebody who was a toddler at the time), what’s the story behind that?
Oldham were unbeaten at home on their plastic pitch for 38 games and we’d just lost our previous two and were slipping out of the top two. We scored early and a second late on. We played a centre half up front with deano who got both. Probably a poor summary but my hands are still shaking!

It’s strange to think of Oldham as being anything other than shite.

Brilliant win tonight.

I remember it well. There were loads of Blades listening outside the ground. Great result celebrated wildly

But what if another cheating WBA player had not been seen cheating. Jay Rodriguez appeared to have equalized for the hosts but he was immediately pulled up for a handball - and he was quick to acknowledge that he had diverted the ball into the net illegally. Busted, if the ref was un--sighted that was another cheating point they might have had. Cheating isn't a weapon we have in our arsenal thank goodness but can we be protected from it by refs. Hopefully they keep up with play, remember this tackle on Gerrard that gave Liverpool a pen, look where the ref is.

The most striking thing about this video is the fact that Bramall Lane isn't awash with netting on the first few rows and sides.

Was it Simon Webster who played up.top ?
One and only time if I'm right ,he won the flick ons for deano to smash home two crackers
 
The one I'd compare it to is Peterborough away (only!) 2 years ago.

A big win, a solid performance with the squad players contributing..... the only difference is I'm not as certain of promotion now as I was after that game.

But it's done wonders for our belief, and rightly so. These are the results you get in a promotion season. We were due one, now we've got one, and hopefully there's more to come (Leeds).
