I still can't believe the nickname "Relish" never caught on, despite my efforts

You forgot the 'o' at the end, Relisho. now there is catchio.

 

[Paisley Blade]

There are no streams but as I’ve little inclination to ever see a Nigel Clough side play football again I’m not too bothered about missing this one.

Spurs at home though

KICK OFF
Off we go, to big noise from the Sheff Utd fans.

1-0 Blades. Sharp 18’

 

[Tom Bott]

He, and they, look Sharp tonight.

0-1 Blades guess who.

 

[Brian Deane]

Don't shoot the messenger but I've heard that most, if not all, of the squad will take part at some point

Debut for Maupay ??. UTB

Allez Allez Allez, or chip butty ?

 

[wavy-blade]

beat me to it by the sounds of it were streets ahead of Burton , only a friendly but sounds promising and our players on the bench could put a top half championship team alone !
GOAL Blades - Billy Sharp - 0-1
The Blades have the lead their football so far has deserved.

Enda Stevens finds room on the left to swing in a near-post cross, and Billy Sharp rises highest to power a header past O’Hara and into the net.

He, and they, look Sharp tonight.

Note from Derbyshire times bulletin, which is v encouraging :—

Sheffield United showing the two-league gap between the sides at the minute.
Their work rate is incessant, continually winning possession upfield and forcing Albion back.

 

[Pompey_Blade]

We are supposed to be Premier league. How havnt the club put a stream on for this. As an example Swansea are streaming there game.

 

[Brian Deane]

Cheers. UTB

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Sharp with another header.....

 

[Tom Bott]

He drills a low ball in, and Kean Bryan dives in brilliantly to block and deny Akins a tap-in.

 

[Tom Bott]

Do my edited highlights of the highlights look one sided ?

 

[BladesOnToast]

You forgot the 'o' at the end, Relisho. now there is catchio.

I'm still traumatised from trying to start the Peschisolidoio chant at the Forest game.

 

[Tom Bott]

Can Burton find an equaliser before half-time?

 

[Tom Bott]

Billies goal

Because you tried to add an i before the o , not a Bladio thing to do.

 

[Tom Bott]

Chris Wilder’s Blades look very, very sharp, with the ball and, crucially, in the way they are winning it back.

Ooh, wait a second...

 

[Tom Bott]

1-1 John Brayford.

 

[Brian Deane]

Can somebody block the sun out from behind the floodlights
