Campbell-Ryce 2-1

A vital win there with five of the top six winning. An ideal time for Ched to enter the fray ... I hope.

A terrific steal at the death by the Blades. 27 shots to their 4 finally paying off.

now Blades at MK

no it's 3-2 to the Blades An unlikely comeback.

52 minutes 1-0 Andy Butler with a header from a corner the crowd is 7,929 now 1-1 57 minutes

Going for 2-0 after a nervous start.

He was on my list earlier this year

Ched, Billy, Greg Halford, Coady and John Brayford What a squad we would have then.

Consecutive clean sheets (League games only) The current run is a new record for United P 8 W 7 D 1 L 0 F 11 A 0 Shrewsbury Town H 2-0 8/2/14 Gillingham A 1-0 19/2/14 Bristol City H 3-0 22/2/14 Colchester United A 1-0 25/2/14 MK Dons A 1-0 1/3/14 Peterborough United H 2-0 4/3/14 Carlisle United H 1-0 12/3/14 Preston North End A 0-0 17/3/14 The best run previously by the Blades was seven in 1970-71 (Division 2) P 7 W 4 D 3 L 0 F 11 A 0 Blackburn Rovers H 5-0 20/3/71 Bristol City A 1-0 27/3/71 Norwich City H 0-0 3/4/71 Leicester City A 0-0 10/4/71 Sheffield Wednesday A 0-0 12/4/71 Millwall H 2-0 13/4/71 Birmingham City H 3-0 17/4/71 All time list Most consecutive clean sheets (in league games only) # over two seasons 14 Manchester United 2008/09 11 Millwall 1925/26 11 Reading 1978/79 11 York City 1973/74 10 Charlton 1998 # 10 Chelsea 2004/05 10 Torquay United 2010 # 9 Leeds United 1927/28 9 Stockport County 2006/07 (won all 9) Seventeen teams are now on 8 Sheffield United 2013/14 Arsenal 1903 # & 1997/98 Liverpool 1922/23 & 2005/06 Southampton 1922 # Swansea City 1999/00 Queens Park Rangers 2013/14 Wigan 2002/03 Watford 1949/50 Huddersfield Town 1964/65 Barnsley 1954/55 Wolves 1982/83 Colchester United 1991/92 Chesterfield 2000/01 Hartlepool United 2006/07 Portsmouth 1922/23 Bury 1923/24 Grimsby Town 1955/56

The previous run of six clean sheets in a row (league matches) (2012-13) Bury A 2-0 12/2/13 Colchester H 3-0 16/2/13 Bournemouth A 1-0 23/2/13 Orient H 0-0 26/2/13 Oldham A 2-0 2/3/13 MK Dons H 0-0 9/3/13 And for older Blades fans like myself, many will remember this sequence well. If my memory serves me well, the kop were singing 'all we are saying is give us a goal ' v Millwall late on when Trevor Hockey scored. I think the other was an O.G. I know it was a Tuesday night match at Easter (hence the consecutive dates) Seven consecutive clean sheets (league games) (1970-71) Blackburn H 5-0 20/3/71 Bristol City A 1-0 27/3/71 Norwich H 0-0 3/4/71 Leicester A 0-0 10/4/71 Wednesday A 0-0 12/4/71 Millwall H 2-0 13/4/71 Birmingham H 3-0 17/4/71

2-0 game over Porter

Jamie Murphy (or rather Motherwell) was a pointless answer in round two tonight on the quiz show. Contestants had to name the clubs that twelve strikers were playing for at the beginning of 2012-13.

Coady again for Blades 1-0

97th minute

How many more years are we going to be languishing in this division. Don't know about 'go large' verb - To enjoy oneself to the maximum.

One shot (McMahon) in 45 minutes by United. Meanwhile former Blades Billy Sharp & Jamie Ward have both scored on 32 minutes. ---------- Post added 14-12-2013 at 16:28 ---------- A breakthrough with a header by Jose Baxter 67 minutes 1-0

going up? ..... the table 18,545 there today.

Nothing was happening so just made myself a cup of tea.. came back to the computer and we've scored. Can the Blades hold on this time for a crucial win.

Blades will win today.

I've suspected for a while that the players are deliberately underperforming. I'm pretty certain now I was right. See my post from September 25th just before the Wolves match below

0-1 down after 37 minutes

Just going back to 75-76, it was a big shock as older fans like myself will know. The previous season was the best I can remember. If we hadn't lost twice to Derby, the Blades would have been League champions instead. Around Easter time 1975, I thought we might just do it but an unlucky defeat at Highbury (the only time I've been there) and a draw at home to Leeds put paid to that dream. Still a fantastic season though with Currie in irresistible form at times. Amazing that the first game of 75/76 would be against Derby of all teams.

Seven in 1975-76 .... I remember it all too well. http://www.statto.com/football/teams/sheffield-united/1975-1976/results This was at a much higher level of course in the old First Division. The horrendous run of defeats was 18 out of 22 leading up to Christmas.

Blades are now bottom of League 1 now below Notts County.
