No player in the Championship has had more touches on the ball so far this season. Nobody from the league's current top six has made more passes - or more accurate ones. His glorious goal against Reading last time out was one to savour but so have been his overall stats. Coutts never gives the ball away, goes the song at Bramall Lane these days, and the numbers aren't far off.

Because we're playing Leeds tomorrow in a top of the championship clash. On TV. And we are so fucking marketable. A Blade co owner, a Blade manager, a Blade captain, playing really attractive football. It's TV gold.

You couldn't have given us away in the Warnock/Blackwell hoofball years. I used to get told all the time down in these parts that Sheffield United were on peoples hate lists. They've all forgotten now but I still remember who they are

Our secret is out.

This tells you what an influence CW has had on him and how he will continue to improve under him.
"I'd like to think he can manage at the very top - but with this club,"

Oh that lap of dishonour (shudder) I remember it so well. Not that I stayed for it, but knew how it would be. Walked away from the ground saying, 'they can sell the lot of them, except maybe, Sharp, at least he tried.' Eighteen months ago, unbelievable how far some of those players have come.

The upshot to all this is that the pigs are firmly back in our shadow. I fucking love it.
