2 points for a win at the time!

well was keeping it relevant for the young ones
theyll not remember 2 points or passing back to the keeper
or corn flake box shin pads

 

[Ecco1889]

my favourite stat from this season is we lost 3 of the first 4 games,then 3 out of the next 40

I'm not sure there is much to be celebrated about having the best disciplinary record.

I'd much rather have players willing to make a tactical foul alas Jake Wright against Millwall to pick up a yellow rather than thinking about the fair play table.

Think I read somewhere that Coutts (yes, Coutts!) had committed more fouls than any other player in the Third Division this season.

the other stat of note is that Jack O Connell is the first sheffield United player to wear a magic hat
an invisible one so as not to break league rules on headwear


our 3rd goal at mk dons will be our 50th away goal

 

[Kenilworth]

our 3rd goal at mk dons will be our 50th away goal

Would be gold if that's also Bill's 30th of the season

Only met him a couple of times socially but seemed a genuine friendly sort of person and a true gent. If only Ched had kept it in his trousers he could have taken us all the way to the Premiership.

Totally agree, I met him at the funeral of a mutual friend who was a junior coach at S6 - all their juniors were there in full club blazers and ties, very impressive. Just had to thank him, and as you say, he was a perfect gentleman.
