If we kick our way out of this turd division so be it , if we can play the purists way to get out of this division , then so be it , but let's just get the fuck out of this division , one way or the other , we won't be worried about how we got out of it when it's written in our history , promoted as champions .

I just want out of this godforsaken Hellhole of a league's ass. I dont care ho. I Don't care if I have to sacrifice every one of you

My conversion to Wilder has come about partly because I've seen bits of his Northampton team and, whilst they move it quickly (and nothing wrong with that) it is a passing game. He's also said clearly we are not going to 'launch it'. I'm happy enough with that.

If he adds a bit (lot) of spirit and commitment as well that's all to the good. My difficulty with upanatem is when (as in Mucknnettles mercifully short tenure) that's all you've got and nothing else in the locker.

The best teams in the world, including Barca, are upanatem in their own stylish way. Just watch 'em in the very rare occasions they haven't got the ball. They press, deny space and suffocate the life out of inferior opposition players who aren't good enough to overcome it.

That sort of upanatem is great by me, but not when it's little more than a euphemism for ugly, agricultural Hoof.

Deano was great. Agana too.

Cowans was sol, I think to Bradford who were in the league above at the time.

I remember people criticising Kevin Macdonald for not being a big enough goal threat, well I don't think Cowans ever scored for us but no one player has so positively affected how we play in all the time I've been watching the Blades.

No, they were in the same division as us when Cowans moved over. We played Bradford 4 times the following season and won all 4 games.

The transition in United's football in the second half of 1996-7, culminating in the playoff final non performance, was very frustrating. We'd won 7 games away by Boxing Day but were never in the lead away from home after that. Kendall just lost it, though we were incredibly unlucky with injuries that year.
