    Fleck's tackle could quite easily have been. It would only have taken a small error to have done so. Incidentally I've seen it happen to other teams they've played - it curtailed my admiration for them severely.

    The psychological impact is one such teams rely on. It took Max a long time to get his courage back, & it sends out a message to the rest of the team. It's a statement of intent, of what they're prepared to do.

    And listen to the crowd's reaction. They love it.

    There'are huge differences between a strong tackle, an unintentional foul,  & a dirty one designed to stop you playing, as I'm sure anyone here who's played football will know. 

     

    Theres a huge difference between making outlandish statements, and making outlandish statements with supporting evidence.

    You sound very bitter mate to be honest.

    I have to say I thought you played very well, and your game plan was excellent, Wilder got that spot on and deserves great credit - I was impressed how solid your boys looked. And I’m sure we’ll also be far better once we have a single fit central defender available - or 4! But for whatever reason, I notice many people seem to be turning a blind eye to a fact that would cripple any side in the league.

    Cheers, and good luck getting your players fit.

    They really aren’t very good though. They are exceptionally well drilled and good at defending but Arsenal were pathetic in the last third (had their final ball not been a joke they would have won that) and I will still be disappointed if we finish below Shef U.

    Trouble is all our “rivals” keep picking up three points every so often whilst we really need to stay in touch til our injuries clear up. 

     

    Our recent history is littered with big teams having their worst game in years against us. We really are extremely fortunate in that respect.

    Hey Blademark, thanks for the input, great that you took the trouble to fill us in. I've seen a couple of your games on YouTube and you look more than capable of handing out a few bloody noses, good luck for the rest of the season. 👍

    Cheers buddy, same to you.

    Fascinating read this. Some of you are close to the truth, some are miles off. In a nutshell, McCabe has shown gross misjudgement and done himself up like a kipper. He over estimated the Prince's wealth when he invited him to buy 50% of the club for £1, in 2013, and subsequently underestimated the Prince's  ability to trigger a buy-out clause, instigated by McCabe as a means of getting the 50% share back, in 2017, when we started to perform well on the pitch. McCabe, although well intentioned, is a scheming megalomaniac who has invested a lot of money over the years, but always with an eye on feathering his own nest. He has bare face lied several times, and often has a version of events that differ from reality. In the recent court case he came out of it terribly, and was torn to pieces by the judge. The Prince actually seems an honourable bloke by comparison, and strangely I have a feeling he will do well. He is understated, happy to be in the background etc, but very ambitious I think. Not sure he has 'mega' money, but the hope is that he can attract backing from his obvious connections to the real Saudi oil money. Bottom line is if he keeps Chris Wilder happy, we should be OK. The whole saga is fairly unedifying clearly, and may still rumble on for some time, and that is the biggest concern that it may harm the dressing room and subsequently performances on the pitch. It could go either way, but I'm sure it will be 'interesting' to say the least. 

    Anyway, well done on your fantastic result at the weekend. You must be buzzing and still on a high?

    I think there's no doubt we were the two most 'attractive' (and bloody effective!) sides in the Division last year. It will be interesting to see how our respective styles hold up at this level. 

    Do you think Villa will stay up? I don't think they will

    I suspect we will both finish above Villa, but I also suspect that all 3 will be safe.

    How do you think your team played Blademark? Would you be confident of your team staying up with the squad you have and the playing style you have?

    Hi mate, fair to say we are happy so far, and we still have 5 new signings who haven't kicked a ball yet, so there is a degree of optimism yes.

    You have made a good start, and I like the football you play, certainly offensively, but defensively there are question marks I would have thought. Some of you seem a little over confident and rather disparaging. Might be wise to hold off the bold statements for a while, we know only too well they can come back to bite you. 

    Good luck with the rest of the season

    Agree with most of the above and if you look at the summer signings Sheffield2 does have the look of a club building for a play-off spot next season.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have pretty much the same team from the Championship last season?

    I've learnt it's best not to take the LMA guys too seriously. If you're not english and a bit rough around the edges, you ain't getting the award.

    You do realise it's the actual managers who vote, including the foreign ones?

    Net spend of minus £6m actually. Don't get me wrong, I'm quite surprised that Wilder won this, and the award could equally have gone to the other nominees, including Farke. I can only guess that the other Managers have taken into account where we were when Wilder took over 3 years ago, 11th in league one.

    Gents, we have both defied expectations this season, and both Managers have done amazing jobs. It will be interesting to say the least to see how both clubs prosper next season, and neither will start the season with the same squad it has now, I'm quite sure. 

    I can just about see why some of you don't like Wilder, but I have to say, we worship the ground he walks on. I should also point out that he is not built for failure, he has never failed anywhere, and I don't expect him to start now. 

    Meantime, let's just enjoy the ride, no need for these negative emotions right now, let's leave that to Leeds and others eh? 

    Good luck.

    As already said, many Blades fans are fearing the worst tomorrow, we do have history after all. 

    But then Chris Wilder is going for his 3rd title in 4 years, so my money is on him to do the business tomorrow. 

    Then it's all down to you guys to keep us at bay. I fear Villa will be resting their big guns against you, so you should do it (and deserve it tbf).

    you'll be most welcome to join us in the PL.... if only to keep out the dirty Leeds

     

    ps don't laugh at our impoverished neighbours on Saturday, they really are the 'mighty' town - as I'm sure they will tell you.......repeatedly 😆

    They are cordially invited to our little party, I just hope they don't go and spoil it 😊

    Congratulations on your certain promotion, which is richly deserved. I've been hugely impressed with your football. Which looks very Premier League to be fair. 

    I can't believe that we are still in with a shout of caching you with 2 games to go. It's been a hell of a season, and neither of us were high in the betting at the start, so we can both be very proud, and only hope that we can keep our respective Managers.

    Outstanding is the right word, you were very impressive, and have been for a while now. I've just tipped you on our board to win the league, and I hope we are one place behind you. Good luck, if your defence was slightly better (keeper dodgy), I think you'd be a shoe in.
