Good post this.

It is striking how we simply haven't missed a beat. Totally unlike any other promotion I've seen.

Just goes to shoe that there isn't really a blades way, we've just not been this good before. Let's hope Wilder continues the magic next year.

best pound for pound team weve ever had
against our current peers been outstanding

11 games to go needed to be strong
we were awesome

In this division, in this context and this promotion race (and as has been said, against these peers) we have been really at it and, pound for pound this is one of the best United sides ever. Christ knows, we as fans deserve it as we've been served some utter dross over the years. Even sweeter that a Blade has delivered from the dugout with Blade as his skipper and top scorer. Savour it fellow Blades, we're the best of the bunch this year.

I always knew it would come down to squad depth this year. Did we want rid of Clarke and Done for example? No - they would come good and be useful when we needed them to, to get us over the line. That is the picture of squad harmony and a squad UNITED.

Up the Blades!

I wanted promotion wrapped up sooner rather than later but I do love how good Bolton's form has been to still not be good enough to do anything other than watch the gap grow.
