Channel 5 coverage

[HibbyBlade]

Just finished watching it on catch-up. Great to see the pundits getting so enthusiastic.

Shame about those offside calls. The first one looked too close to call for me. The teams looking good though. Can't wait to organise my next trip down to the Lane!

Echo all the above. At last a well presented show with knowledgeable hosts.

 

[8lade]

As suspected both Fulham and Norwich look a good bet for top 6

Improved ten-fold. Main reason being Colin Murray - the guy knows his sport and actually knows stuff about individual clubs. Couldn't have got a better bloke for the job.

The previous bloke and his wank waistcoat were atrocious.

 

[ScottBlade]

"A penalty decision Wednesday fans will have been debating all the way home" Anyone else hear that during their coverage? Just the way he said it makes me think maybe a Blade behind the scenes had something to do with that lol. Made me chuckle anyway. Oink oink

Echo everything said above regarding Colin Murray, great presenter and does always seems to speak highly of us.

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Murray is a miles better host, and Gray has always been complimentary about us - the editorial just never let him talk about us last season.

 

[Fanny magnet]

To be fair to Murray he is always pretty complimentary about both Sheffield sides and tipped us both for promotion last season even though his co hosts at the time bob mills and Perry groves understandably didn't fancy our chances

 

[Dnblade]

Never liked him until he did the Talk Sport show,and changed my mind,and used to listen most days while at work...Although he did allow the Rawmarsh Pig on polluting the airwaves once.
Looks like he's done a decent job on C5 with this show...last season it was shockingly bad.

Did anyone see the Norwich end had Fulham fans in as well?

 

[CarlMcBlade]

One thing I did notice on the C5 coverage. Every team seems to have at least one "jet heeled" striker in their ranks. As great as Saturday was, we do look a little bit pedestrian up front in comparison.

He was part of the problem, the new presenter is far better.

Indeed

Ohh shhhhhhittttttt

Wednesday fans will be livid and some will be suicidal.

Their ex player and co presenter Michael Gray was asked for his prediction regards which team currently in the top half would have the best season.

He said in that list he'd vote for Sheffield United as his dark horses to have a very good season.

According to Wednesday fans the standard is too high in La Liga, they insist we've got no chance & will struggle.

Keep up mate, La Liga was in July now its more like the Albanian second division, Its now a poor Championship. Thats what hurting them most.

In the interests of balance, I don't like Colin Murray's presentation as a rule I particularly disliked him on Talksport, but I haven't seen the C5 show to be fair. I think Murray was decent on MOTD2, its when he is allowed to talk a lot, like on Talsksport that his style grates me. He did go up in my estimation though when he resigned Talksport.

Never listened to him on the radio, I did like him on MOTD2 though and from what I've seen so far, he seems pretty decent on the Ch5 highlights aswell. Seems to quite like us too.

I wasn't a fan of his either Booker but I have to say he presents a well researched show and appears a genuine Footy fan with a wide knowledge.
I complained to C5 last year for their piss poor coverage with George at the forefront of the utter borefest.
It is now worth a watch as we have featured heavily this season and I think Colin quite likes us.A little bias in our favour makes a pleasant change.I have warmed to him suprisingly and find myself chuckling at his quips.It is of course all subjective but you might enjoy seeing some positive Blades coverage.

We are the new black since Wilder arrived. Before we were seen as the 'unlucky club', the 'suing club', the club that the r***** Ched Evans played for', the 'pub team', the 'hoofball team' etc. These undeserved labels were mainly the bent clubs and officials and lazy journo's making.

In 14/15 months Sir coach Chris has not only restored our league credibility but our reputation as the next big thing, exciting to watch, the club that smashed L1, the club with british players, the club that gives youth a chance, the club with passion etc. And you know what everyone except our little piggy neighbours are all sitting up and taking notice and giving us respect by the bucket load, that said Wendy's are starting to give us credit. Even Roygbiv 'views from' the fans have stopped attacking and started respecting.

It is our time.

To use my old math(s) teacher’s terminology, according to Pork’s theorem, the quality of the teams in the division that we are in is inversely proportional to the level of success that we achieve.

An interesting theory really, especially as in their own case it’s the opposite, and the better they are performing the better their league is, culminating (as you point out) in the emergence of La Liga 2 last season, and a warning to us that we would be relegated with less points than Rotherham, probably by Christmas.

I do sometimes wonder if dem Owls are as wise as they try to make out.

Watching grandson playing football this morning when amongst the Wendy dads on the touchline one came up with this gem " There's no doubt we've got the best squad in the league and if we'd got Wilder as manager we'd be 14 points clear at the top now " I nearly choked on my Bovril.

Wow, they haven't played Wolves so with their current 29 points, that would mean they'd need 43 points from their 14 games.
Even Sir Chris might struggle with that target.

Oddly it was Carloss that put the squad together for the most part yet many of them want him aht..
Had a chat with one yesterday and his parting remark was we will see you at Wembley for the Play off final. Brightened up my day that
