tosh13   11 #1873 Posted December 4, 2006 Oh dear me still whinging after 2 wins,let's remain posotive the end of the season is a long way away. Neil Warnock was last night named the BBC Yorkshire Sports Personality of the Year whilst Sheffield United were named Team of the Year. Sheffield United are thought to be close to sealing a £1million move for Lillestrom striker Michael Mifsud. The 25-year-old Maltese international has caught the eye of Blades boss Neil Warnock with a string of fine displays in the Norwegian league, and talks have taken place between the two clubs.

Heyesey   11 #1875 Posted December 4, 2006 :hihi:  Are you naturally dense. Let me explain.   If the points required to stay up are, lets say, 35 and we finish on 35 we stay up.  With me so far...... good.  If Monty had not made that 'jinking run' and we HAD NOT SCORED and got those 3 points we would have 32 points, which would mean...........Yes........ we would go down.   If Monty hadn't made that junking run and we hadn't won that game, we would have gone on a 10-match winning streak and finished in the Champions League. Hypothetically.    It makes as much sense to blame him for that goal keeping him out of the Europe, as it does to credit him for that goal keeping us up, no matter what points total we finish with.

Notice if you will the symbol at the end of the line. This was put there because the statement was light hearted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
*_ash_* Â Â 88 #1877 Posted December 5, 2006 I was sat on the kop and actually thought for most of the first half you could hear a pin drop! Â it only came alive in the second half, and when we scored our first the atmos was great! Â Â As vocal as I normally am, the first first half was tense. Difficult to get into a vocal mood, looked same all over the ground. Usual praise to the back of the kop, for trying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
canadablade   10 #1878 Posted December 5, 2006 Good result for the Blades last night. Man City only pull a point further ahead and Watford stay further behind If we can beat Villa and I think we can, we might be alright Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Looked really confident and looked like he believed that he SHOULD be playing at this level (certain senior players should take note).  We still need a new central midfield! Andy Reid took the P*ss on Saturday - Jags is NO MIDFIELDER, and MONTY is NO FOOTBALLER!! - How that man makes a living from "playing" football is beyond me!  Me and a few mates had the discussion Saturday - Is he the worst player in modern history to wear the red&white? .... we decided it was between him and Bobby Ford, with Spackman being a close 3rd!  Young Quinny played well first half, good choice to take him off though, good debut for him in my opinion, he almost scored about a minute in aswell.  "Jags no midfielder" i was saying in the car on the way back from the lane that Jagielka should drop back into defence, becasue hes trying to do too much. Id like to see him supporting the Midfielders, especially with Tonge out the last few weeks.  I disagree about Monty, i think when he's got alright pace, can tackle and can cross. (saying that i would pick Kozluk or Tonge over him to start) If you think hes the worst player for blades...erm Leigertwood?? Leigertwood is yet to shine for me in a home game.

Blade1983 Â Â 10 #1883 Posted December 6, 2006 Disagree Monty is better when he is given a man marking job,to say he is in the same class as Bobby Ford is taking the pi--. Â that's purely because he is given someone to follow around for the whole game. he still can't tackle without fouling someone though. and even if he did manage to imerge from a tackle with the ball, you can bet your life that if he needs to make more than a 5 yard pass the ball will be coming straight back at us! Â Seriously - Monty is awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
