BladesPod: Oli McBurnie & storylines of the summer

[Beans]

Hi all,

First of all, I'm pleased to say that Roygbiv has agreed to make himself a permanent part of the podcast:



Second of all! A new episode just went live, talking about a pretty busy week for the Blades, including:

• a profile of Oli McBurnie (03:58)
• the Barnsley friendly (more Callum Robinson hype - 24:20)
• the Matlock friendly (focussing on Duffy, Morrison and Mousset - 30:25)

Then, some thoughts on how it feels to follow a Premier League team in 2019 compared to 2007, leading into a section reviewing the United-related storylines from the summer - from court case drama to Wilder off to West Brom (38:30). We attempt to give each storyline a rating of how many Twitter meltdowns out of 10.

As always, thank you very much for listening.

Hope it’s a performance-based deal with lots of incentives. Congrats Roygbiv!

Bad move. He'll be back in next week demanding a new deal. He's not getting any younger!

Shame Blades Analytics can't contribute anymore loved the stats part of the podcast but you and Roy are a great combination and maybe now we are in the prem the stats won't make as good reading ( listening ) anyway

I agree. It’s so easy to have an opinion but it provides another level of critical appraisal when various statistics start being quoted.

Fret not, stats are (and will be) included. I’m not a pro analyst but I do pay attention to people who are

Excellent pod again guys - essential listening! This, the imminent McBurnie deal and my trip to Oakwell at the weekend has made me quite giddy for the new season. I’m also tipping Robinson for greatness and can forgive his dodgy hand celebration. I also reckon he’ll start up front with McG in the first game...the Irish connection could be good for both us and them - especially with Egan and Stevens also in the team.
Glad Roy’s signed up for the season as you two are developing a nice partnership and rapport.

Whilst its been nice to have the Pod over the summer and you two have done a great job managing to keep us entertained, But i really can't wait to get back to normality in the season hearing the previews and reviews of games and the analytic side.

I know very little about the Premier League teams, even less about players for some of the lesser known sides, so it will be good to know who to watch etc.

Bournemouth will be an interesting one, I only knew Brooks and Wilson at Bournemouth... and Brooks will be out now that he's injured!

"He's a hoof and scrape merchant"

"He'll be relegated by Christmas"

"I see they are preparing for League One again where this bloke got most of his likes"

"Always preferred Wednesday"

 

[Charlieblade]

Congratulations on the much sought after signing of Roy. Well tested and experienced at this level. His trial obviously went well.

 

[Antonb]

another great and entertaining listen. Thankyou.

He'll be asking for a payrise in two days....
