They’ve got more points than any other team in the league and have averaged over two points a game in last 10
They’re getting results but even their own fans think they’re playing shit. Why the Sheff Utd Defence Force is out in this thread I’m not sure. They’re definitely the most beatable of the top three, they’ve lost as many games as the other two put together.
I get it with other ex players, but for any fan under 30, Gus and Vik are the best players they’ve seen at the club. Is it surprising that they’re lauded like they are.It's mental. He was a phenomenal player for us, one of the best I've seen and clearly likes the club, the fans and area. Will never knock him for any of what he did
But I get wound up by those who absolutely rim him off, when it's well known by those at the club he absolutely mugged us clean off
Nope, the club also. He literally said offer me 20 a week il sign it
We did, with generous bonuses may i add, he then left it on the table for weeks, didn't sign, and fucked off
Hence my disdain for the section of our fanbase who would genuinely clean his smegma with their tongue
In some cases you get contrarians, most cases seem to be people having completely unrealistic expectations of young players, this is more of a modern thing, you barely even used to see players until they were around 22 back in the day i swear. I prefer to see the potential personally and i don't see any comparisons between Bassette and Raphael for example, who is way more of a 'punt' signing.
As for Hamer, i loved him when he was here. But he lead us on and moved to an absolutely loathsome football club, i don't see why anyone should feel obliged to like him tbh. I think he's a fat little shithouse who's wasting his talent as he'd rather have a kebab than put the extra work in. Be 28 by the time next season starts and up to this point his peak is a standout Championship player. Hardly the generational talent some make out.
I’ll never snap anyone’s hand off for a draw.If we were offered a point now, everyone would snap their hand off. Also our record on Friday night away games is gash, is is our Bramall Lane record
The first 11 are doing so well they have to dig deeper to find someone to bitch aboutI really don't get the constant criticism either. Like you say, he's young and has a lot to learn. Fans slagging him off constantly ain't gonna help. Scored a couple for the Belgium U21s, so he knows where the net is. A lot of development ahead for him, so what's the issue for some?
It will be tighter if we draw on FridayOur historic record vs these couldn't be any tighter..
Games won: 24 Games drawn: 20 Games lost: 24

Scary looking bench. 3-0 home win
Never turn a draw away down whether it is a top or even a bottom team.A draw would be a good result.

Tighter.As tight.
Who will blink first?
Yes, but the percentage splits remain evenly distributed between us and them; nobody has the upper hand.Tighter.
Before Friday: Win/Loss 35.29%. Draw 29.41%
After Friday (if we draw)
Win/Loss 36.76%. Draw 29.41%
So 3 draws is not tighter than 1W 1L 1D?Yes, but the percentage splits remain evenly distributed between us and them; nobody has the upper hand.
Unless you specifically meant that the percentages between win, draw and loss will be tighter. In which case, yes.
But that's not generally what people mean. They mean who's on top.
Not if you're trying to determine which team has the upper hand, no. Who's doing better, us, or them; no-one!So 3 draws is not tighter than 1W 1L 1D?
This is my first post on them. People on here pre season were saying they were going to pan because they had to sell so many players. They haven't.
Just like when Burnley first came down, they will pan because of financial difficulties - they didn't.
The same when Leicester came down - they didn't pan.
I livid in Sheffield for about 5 years and connected with their fans better than Wednesday fans. I found United fans more like Cov fans. Wednesday fans more like Aston Villa fans. Just my take on it.
Having beaten Sunderland a draw v Sheffield United, or Burnley would be good. Two draws or one win would be massiveThey’ve done great. I just think we’ve got more chance of beating them than Burnley or Leeds.
I dont think people have taken a dislike to him but some fans seem to be calling for him to be played every game even saying Simms should be dropped for him.Not sure about when you exactly are referring to as being back in the day but throughout our years in the top flight our team was littered with players who became 1st team regulars by the time they were 20 never mind 22, through the likes of Carr, Coop, Blockley, Mortimer, Oakey, Blair, Gillespie, Thomas, Hateley, McGrath, Sedgley, Ndlovu, Hall, Eustace and right through to Robbie Keane of course.
In respects of Bassette I think some have taken a dislike to him as he comes across as a bit cocky. He clearly has potential though and he wouldn't be in the Belgium under 21's unless he had something about him. With that background there is absolutely no chance of him going on loan to a League 1 club, as some have suggested on here.
I knew I calc’d the percentages wrong but I was driving & couldn’t be bothered to change. I’ll give you a point for noticing but I’ll still claim the winNot if you're trying to determine which team has the upper hand, no. Who's doing better, us, or them; no-one!
Also, not that it's the point, but your percentages don't add up.
Driving and calculating percentages is very dangerous.I knew I calc’d the percentages wrong but I was driving & couldn’t be bothered to change. I’ll give you a point for noticing but I’ll still claim the win
You've nearly convinced me with this. But any player who leaves and plays us in the league at any point gets sh*t from me…. those are the rules when you pick up the bigger pay check.I get it with other ex players, but for any fan under 30, Gus and Vik are the best players they’ve seen at the club. Is it surprising that they’re lauded like they are.
Another take could be that he was signed for 1.5m, contributed absolutely loads and left for nearly 10x what we paid for him.
Also to those saying m he made a sideways move is disingenuous. He went to the PL and will more than likely be back next season.
Don't know about others mate, but I do care, hence I think he's a wanker. Fucked us about and left us at, let's face it, the only opportunity he got to join one of the most horrible clubs in the football league. I find the hero worshipping of a Sheffield United player beyond embarrassing and small time tbh. But then having seen the Blunt apologism in this thread coupled with the Hamer love-in, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few half and half scarves flying about.The absolute jilted lover obsession from people about Hamer who have spent a year and a half now calling him fat and saying they don’t care about him and everyone else is obsessed makes this thread a treat. Keep it up guys. I almost believe you don’t care.
Not to mention the look on that wanker Wilders face, absolute prick of a bloke. Made some trouble making comments at the end of our last game against them too and quite a few on here lapped it up because they were butthurt about Robins. Turns out Wilder was talking shit, what a surprise.Nothing would give me more satisfaction than winning the play off final against the blades and singing it could have been you to Ohare and Hamer. Pure gold that would be
I will be too drunk to sing anything coherent if that happens !Nothing would give me more satisfaction than winning the play off final against the blades and singing it could have been you to Ohare and Hamer. Pure gold that would be
Especially if the percentage measured is blood alcohol content!Driving and calculating percentages is very dangerous.
