That was mega

They'll say they were unlucky.

They'll say that they had one sent off.

They'll say that they missed a penalty.

The truth is we destroyed em.

Once again, some very impressive stuff from the Blades. Ten games in and we (usually) line 'em up and knock 'em down. I thought we started the second half a bit lethargic and if the (ridiculous) penalty had gone in, it would have meant all our good work in the first half would have been cancelled out. But, for me, the ref. was a cunt. He seemed determined to even things up to make up for the (totally) justified sending off. A United player did a strong - but perfectly legitimate - challenge in front of the dugouts and the Wolves manager went fucking berserk and should have been sent to the stands. No action was taken. Later (I think) O'Connell got booked for slapping the turf in frustration. This was seconds after Brooks had been unceremoniously dumped on his arse. Again, no action. Thhere's absolutely no consistency.

Yeah, I've just seen that penalty decision again.

Unbelievable!!!

Still, we played em off the park for the most part and I loved it

After the game, in the Beer Engine, Ken Jnr and I had a chat with 3 Wolves fans who were staying up in Sheffield.
All mid to late 40s so they are seasoned followers.
They were talikng amongst themselves about their lack of a plan B given that Wilder's tactics had negated their game plan with the wing backs.
Accent pretty obvious so we started a conversation with them (I love talking to oppo fans before and after a game btw)
They all said how impressed they were with us and thought we were one of the best teams they had played with the movement and pulling them right and left.
No sour grapes at all. One of the blokes questioned the sending off as he thought Coady wasn't the last man but the other two thought it was a reasonable decision.
All said the pen was soft - and so weren't that dismayed when it was misssed (?? I know i would have been if we'd missed a soft pen).
They were disappointed with the Wolves fans noise, even though we complimented them on the numbers for a mid week away game and that it's tough to get more vocal when you have gone down to 10 men early doors.
They asked us if we thought we'd get promotion
Emphatic, "No" from both of us - we're just enjoying the ride at the moment and taking each one as it comes. Not getting too far ahead of ourselves.
They were pissed off about Clarke - they said he was crap for them - but acknowledged that Wilder was playing him to his strengths.
All in all, a very good evening.
