Blades in Horror Hornets Nest

Oh, and add Kenny to that list of missing defenders!

you did defend poorly,don't agree with the very ordinary side comment.But hey, it's about time we beat you boys eh

Yeah best thing about the night was the fish and chips..and they were average! Pleased to hear the very honest assessment from Blackwell. He is certainly not making excuses by saying there are now 'mitigating circumstances' at play i.e. a descimated defence. I fear a bad run now until the new backline gets to know each other and even then are they likely to be as good as what we had before - Killa, Morgs, Walker, Naughton, Kenny??? Watch them go and beat Derby on Saturday now!!

I always read your posts gleadless and think you know what you are on about. However, i can't agree with you on this one. How can Blackwell be anything other than unlucky. The very fact he has had to build 11 million teams in 2 years is that every time we get a player we sell them and month on month it appears as if he has to cut the cloth in order for us to survive. Im sure that this isn't entirely the case and my patience with our lack of ambition is waning thin, testing the most hardent of optimists but surely Blackwell isn't shipping the players in and out like a merry go round out of choice. This is top down and lies with the intentions of the board. He has kept us in and around the top 6 in a joke of a season so far when the whole team at some point has had to be juggled. Lesser managers would have cracked and we would have been in the soup deeper than most.

yeah thats a fair point tbw...and afterlsitening to football heaven and hearing that the football club owes mccabe £26m in loans (what on gods earth hsa that been spent on) and the non football club owes £22m you have a point...still have to question the ugly football and signings such as sun ji, howard, taylor, williamson(looks good but has a terrible injury record for last few years) adn fall outs with lots of players (gillespie, killa, speed, howard, sun)...i dont know maybe im more disallusioned with united than ever before - the club is going nowhere at all apart from dropping -yes they are 6th but i think we all know that they wont stay there, they simply arent good enough and dont play a style of football thats hard to play against - any half decent team must really love playing against us - a fact highlighted that we've failed to beat anyone in the top 8 and only taken 3 points out of 27against these teams....like us all ive seen some really dark times at the club (not paying players extremely dodgy chairman) but this is a really depressing one - we had a chance to become something but inept chairmanship/ leadership with regards managers and contracts given to players has left us in a right mess and the football we've seen for three seasons running is terrible - fans are bored with it...away support is lower than for a long time, home support is slowly dropping (we coldnt sell out for wendy for gods sake!), young local lads are sold, players such as monts who were never a first pick in the days of warnock just used when required (and effectively) are now the first name on team sheet....im just really fed up with it all and dont really look forward to games anymore

everyone had a go at me last season and the start of this season. I predicted what would happen and it has. Once again we sell our best players, replace them with crap...then wonder why!!! how can you sell players like beattie, walker, naughton, and killa and expect everything to be ok? all the rubbish about wages and players wanting to go is utter bull. beats never wanter to go, neither did walker or naughton they were pushed out!! the back 4-5 were our crown jewels last season and we have litterely sold these off and broken this apart. we cut or cloth constantly, sell players on, never replace them properly and still end up in massive debt. we are just going round in circles and will never achieve anything. ward will be the next one to be sold off as he is getting treat like crap and the board have now realised that they can make a mint on him. treat him like crap then they will feed us the same old bull that he was demanding too much in wages....we believe everything macabe says and the truth is he wants his money then he wants out. everything i said about the club after last season misserable playoff final was right...wait until hendo, monty, quinn, morgs and ward are sold in the summer because they will....your right gleadless!!! at least pompy get in the crap through being ambitious we still get in the crap financially when we sell of 3 premiership teams in 10 seasons!! were a fecking joke...and if us fans can't speak our mind then fans won't pay their fees and watch their team. get o'driscoll in NOW, because we are being managed terribly but ran even worse. if things stay as they are we will finish 9th and about 6 points adrift of the playoffs. wait for the cuts back next season...happy days, we will take it though because thats what sort of fans we are. we are a championship club and we are championship fans....neither want to be any better..we are happy as we are. we like to just keep on plodding along it's easier and cheaper.
