Just seen that. He's 19 years old, does that make him our youngest captain ever? He's a born and bred Blade so that's some honour. Let's hope the team show some fight and put in a decent performance.

Well, there have been some very unkind comments made about our new keeper at the Lane ☹️ Having said that, I feel he may have some accomplices among our cobbled together defence!

Pierce Brosnan is to play Brendan Ingle in a biopic, and Sylvester Stallone will be an executive producer. http://www.iftn.ie/news/?act1=record&only=1&aid=73&rid=4295561&tpl=archnews&force=1#:~:text=Pierce Brosnan to star as,The Irish Film %26 Television Network&text=Pierce Brosnan (The Last Rifleman,Prince Naseem 'Naz' Hamed.

My dad was a bit of a gambler, it never appealed to me, even from a very young age I worked out that it wouldn't be possible for a bookies business to exist if the punter had even a 50% of winning. Which meant that the odds were stacked.. See you next season .

Maths not my strongest point 🙄, got confused between 38 and 46. Still, nine points to play for and those clubs down there with you are down there because they're also struggling. I'm not a gambler but I've just had a look at your odds of survival. Apparently the bookies are offering 8/11. Have to say I was confused at this point, but after a bit of investigation it seems to mean that you'd get back £7.27 plus your £10 pound bet if you win. In other words you're risking more money than the bookie is on the gamble. The bookies obviously think that there's every chance you'll survive and they are right more times than they're wrong. Which is why I thing gambling is a mugs game and don't do it apart from the occasional Lottery ticket. See you next season 😉

I must be missing something here. I'll admit I don't pay much attention to your situation ( got troubles of my own ) but a few weeks ago I saw the table and thought you'd survive. Having just read your comments on here I took another look and still think the same. You've got five games left, fifteen points to play for and you're only two points ( taking goal difference into consideration ) away from safety. What am I missing? Unless there's something I'm completely unaware of - always a possibility - we'll be having derby games next season. I know us Sheffielders like to look on the ' glass half empty ' side of things but I think you're overdoing it at the moment.

Remember back in 2015 when the FBI got involved in investigating corruption in FIFA? https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/video/fifa-kickbacks-world-cup-corruption#:~:text=The Justice Department documented over,the case to American courts. Do you imagine that those you've named above are squeaky clean and as pure as the driven snow? The amount of money that's swilling around in football guarantees corruption.

Democracy would be nice in my opinion, I wonder if this country will give it a try some day? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/08/royals-vetted-more-than-1000-laws-via-queens-consent

Typical Owl, you always have to be number one, even if it's at being the worst! 🤣

You are under the impression that the UK is a true democracy? Why am I not surprised 🙄. In a true democracy the people are sovereign, that's what the word democracy means, government by the people. A government should be formed by candidates that belong to the party that has have received the most votes in an election. In a true democracy the people are sovereign. There is a written constitution which has been agreed by the people and the state cannot alter that without gaining the peoples agreement. That is not how it works in this country. In this country Parliament is sovereign, they decide on policy and do not require the peoples consent in order to implement their decisions. In this country a government can be formed with an 80 seat majority and be unassailable despite receiving less than 50% of votes cast. Tony Blairs government elected in 2005 received only 32.5% of all votes cast and still had a workable majority. In this country the sovereign is above the law, the police, military, and judiciary all swear allegiance to the monarch which means they are above the law and can literally get away with murder. https://uollb.com/blog/law/what-would-happen-to-king-charles-iii-if-he-committed-murder This country does not have a genuine democracy.

Both Sheffield clubs are currently cursed by owners who have no genuine attachment to the club or the city. Back in the day we moaned about the owners but at least they had some understanding and sympathy with the fans. I met Eric Taylor on a number of occasions through business, both at Hillsborough and at his home on Tom Lane. Eric Taylor was a gentleman, and he cared about Wednesday and about Sheffield football in general. I also know Mike Wragg and have travelled with him to a number of away games back in the day. Mike Wragg genuinely cares for the Blades. Those days are long gone mores the pity because now it's all about money.

The funeral cortege will probably move at a faster pace than he and the pursuing cops did while chasing him down watched by millions on prime time TV. One of the weirdest most surreal things I've ever seen, nothing like the famed Hollywood police style chases as made famous by Steve McQueen in Bullet.

Very poor performance certainly, but even at this stage if we don't get another point we aren't in the top two worst club performances in Premier League history. Seven games to go and if we can pick up another 4 points we won't even be in the top five worst team performances, with some genuine Big Clubs having gained less points. https://www.givemesport.com/worst-teams-in-premier-league-history/ I appreciate that there are posters on this forum obsessed by the Blades difficulties, probably because it's a distraction from their own clubs troubles but there you go. 🙄
