Billy Sharp gives his thoughts on the Madine signing

[nopigfansintown]

Some interesting bits from Sharp's interview in yesterday's match programme.

Question: You must have noticed your name being mentioned heavily as GM was linked and subsequently signed for United?

Sharp: "It was all fun and games back then, it was not a major issue for me. Gary apologised through a mutual friend and it was sorted, man to man. He plays for Sheffield United now, he'll wear the red and white shirt and he's here to help us win promotion".

Also..."I'd love to sign a new contract at the club in the near future.I've still got a lot to offer and I want to be celebrating many more goals in front of the fans at Bramall Lane".

Also: ..."I'm fitter and stronger than I've ever been before now".

So, that would be "man to man to man" then?

 

[Sharp as a blade]

That last paragraph definitely rings true and it was apparent yesterday.

Right up to when he was subbed off sharp was putting in a reyt shift. He might not have got a goal but I thought his harrowing of their back line was great.

Seems slightly contradictory, unless he means it was sorted through a mutual friend and then man to man. Bottom line is it was sorted though...

Ladies and gentlemen, you are witnessing the making of a legend.
In years to come you will be able to say you cheered on Billy Sharp in the same way our elders talk about Badger and Currie.

Who's Badger and Currie?

 

[The Crab]

Who's Badger and Currie?

You mean apart from the Chefs Special tonight at The Happy Crab?

 

[JimW1889]

Looks like I’m going to have to start booing sharp as well, then.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Sharp has triggered a clause in his contract extending it by another year.

I want it sorted out like Alan Bates & Oliver Reed did it in Women in Love. Or a duel with flintlock pistols in a park or by way of a bare knuckle straightener on the cobbles. Or even by way of a trident/netting/spear tear up. Anything else falls short of the mark in my book.

Contract for Sharp, Gary can piss off.

U ok hun?

Menage a trois of an apology

I think it's made already. Same with Bash

Not in the same class. Bladey claptrap.

 

[Baaaaaaa Blades]

Billy Is a class act in every way on and off the pitch and a real credit and asset to our club

His attitude and work rate are top drawer and his goal scoring record is amazing

Would love him here until he retires then stays with the club in a coaching role

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Not in the same class.

He never said they were.

Why don't you actually read what people post instead of just jumping on people to shoehorn in your claptrap.

You ever seen that film The Duellists? That's how to conduct a feud.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

U ok hun?

Yeah sound, babes.

One can stay here for the remainder of their career. The other should be a short-term stop gap at best, we're aiming for better than that, on and off the pitch. Think Hanson, do a job, get up, get rid.

You on’t man blob or summat?!
Never referenced class. I’d say Deane is a legde of the lane, but would also say nowhere near the class of footballer

I think the plan is exactly that. Get up get rid. I’ll take that every day.

.... and in Bash , the making of a new cult hero a la Bob Booker .

STFU.

That is bang out of order. Why wouldn't young fans talk about Billy in the same way that people of my age talk about the early 70's Blades side? The lad is in rich form, and gives 100%, one of Chris Wilder's first things he did was to make Billy the team Captain, he leads by example.

 

[Doddyontheball]

My dad’s favourite was Jimmy Hagen. Mine were Jones and Birchenall but later on Woody and Currie. Who can forget Deane and Agana? Every decade throws up heroes and quite rightly Billy will be up there with the best. Our shame is we didn’t recognise his talents sooner.

 

[Muttley]

Maybe a better comparison would be another cult hero...

One surprise yesterday was that he didn't strike the through ball from Norwood at goal, given his recent run of goals. He layed it off to McGoaldrought instead, who missed as per bloody usual, couldn't hit a barn door that fella

How many top flight games has he played? Bladey Claptrap abounds.

Keith Edwards

Excellent lower division striker. Now talks bollocks. That’s why Football regards him as unemployable.

 

[Pinchy]

He never said they were.

He’s escaped again! Alert all ports.
