[boss hog]

Where's that lady French fucker today,dropped a maccies tray on his foot or summat.

Prince surely knows hecky isn't the man. Is wilder behind the scenes telling hecky what to do

 

[Bladesman98]

How on earth Wilder / Heckingbottom think Oli Burke’s pace is going to cause premier league defenders a problem is beyond me. They play against quick players every week.

Pace is literally his only attribute it’s a complete waste of time. Spent £50m plus on strikers and this is the best we can produce

We play him for his pace and then we refuse to play it in behind

 

[McGoaldrick]

How anyone is willing to pay 35 mil for berge is beyond me, absolutely useless

 

[Drunk blade]

I noticed that. WTF was he writing down ? Answers on a postcard

Tesco:

Chicken
Salad
Bread cakes
Beers
Wine
Tampons

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Need a new system we can't keep using 352

 

[Suomi_Blade]

I still dont accept its not the tactics thats an issue, we dont create anything, there's massive holes, the moment we switch the formation we look better.

This 5-3-2 thing no longer works, times change and so should we, you dont adapt and you fade away like woolworths.

Shush ,the the top clubs might be listening

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Burke for Robinson has to be the worst swap in Sheffield United history. As the game is shite, can anyone else think of any poor swaps we’ve done?

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

We play him for his pace and then we refuse to play it in behind

Agreed, however Premiership defenders know how to play against pace. They’re up against it every week.

 

[Chilttheblade]

It's not the system,we just have crap players

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Lacking wingers tbh

 

[Bladesman98]

They will know he would do nowt if through on goal anyway

 

[Kevin Arnott]

Burke's header. Dearie me

 

[Blacksea]

Norwood=useless

 

[The Hecky Flecky Shake]

The amount of times Norwood does that with a dead ball is frightening.

 

[Chilttheblade]

Burke for Robinson has to be the worst swap in Sheffield United history. As the game is shite, can anyone else think of any poor swaps we’ve done?

We swapped £23,000,000 for Brewster ,does that count?

 

[FredZeppelin]

"Olly Norwood, Ladies and Gentleman".

 

[Eza Blade]

After Fleck fouled you can see photos of kids on his shinnies. He’s also got Lo Celso face printed on his studs

 

[jono_t2000]

Norwoods ping is pong.

 

[McGoaldrick]

That free kick jesus christ

 

[FatPaul]

Norwood really is wank at free kicks isn't he?

 

[JoeG]

Who tells Norwood that he whips in a good free kick and corner haha

 

[SUFCinks]

Norwood on set pieces is embarrassing, useless prick

 

[TJ blade]

Spot on Pal

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

We swapped £23,000,000 for Brewster ,does that count?

Wilder swapped £100m for a worse team

 

[FatPaul]

Who tells Norwood that he whips in a good free kick and corner haha

Probably his carer.

 

[Arcott]

What is the point in Norwood?

 

[Heely bottoms underpants]

Dear Jim, please can you fix it for me to get the fuck out of here

Jim says "get your winky out and I'll fix owt for you"

 

[232 Bramall Lane]

After that Norwood free kick it's hard not to draw a comparison with Barry Bannan who I've just watched show how to deliver dead balls.
Also we had 3 men up for it!
