Saints 3 Sheffield United 2
By Mike | May 4th, 2008Phew! A rollercoaster game to end a rollercoaster season saw Saints survive by the skin of their teeth. Why an extra 10,000 people suddenly felt the club was worth supporting for one day I don't know but Saints were glad they did at the atmosphere g ...
Norwich 1-0 Sheffield United
By Edward | December 9th, 2007Norwich score early again! Ched Evans scores early again! But, Norwich are now out of the bottom three! Ched Evans scored from a superb Darren Huckerby cross on ten minutes. Huckerby more than making up for the hard time the crowd gave him on Tuesda
Dave Bassett: the master becomes the apprentice
By Matthew | November 12th, 2007It may not be quite that dramatic, but 63-year old Dave Bassett is Dennis Wise's new assistant manager. I'm not sure if there's a Freudian way to interpret the decision to appoint as your assistant the man who was your first manager, but I'd like to think
VALENCIENNES: Savidan and a few Friends
By Sam | August 3rd, 2007As the start of the season looms, it’s time for the France Offside to give you an in-depth look at each of the 20 teams vying for Hexagoal. Today, we meet Valenciennes AFC, the team that's kind of like Jesus and ten other less important disciples. Th
West Ham's Last Day Win at Old Trafford Doesn't Go Down Too Well
By Nick | July 26th, 2007This may be slightly off topic, but seeing as we're constantly mentioned in the same sentence as West Ham and Tevez these days, I thought I'd put it on here. Plus the fact that I think its bloody brilliant.
FIFA Asked to Uncover Lingering Tevez Transfer Mess
By Nick | July 18th, 2007Goodee. Well not actually, but it's about f*cking time this mess gets sorted out. I hardly reckon I'm the only United fan on planet Earth who's tired of the delay in all of this -- plus just a tad skeptical about Tevez's original deal with West Ham to
The Actor Sean Bean Takes Absolutely Ages to Score a Penalty Against What Appears to be a 15 Year Old Boy in the United Goal
By Nick | July 6th, 2007If Carlos Tevez does indeed move to United -- I've a feeling there'll be some bitter Blades dusting off their VCR's to re-watch this clip.
Javi lovefest (video time!)
By Brian | July 6th, 2007To celebrate Javier Mascherano's first international goal, I've decided to post a bunch of videos of him doing his thing. First, the goal. I love how nonchalant he goes about it, as if he scores all the time. His first match for Liverpool (against
Welcome Back to the Football League Sheffield United -- Did You Really Believe You Wouldn't be Coming?
By Nick | July 3rd, 2007It's unlikely anybody associated with The Blades are smiling today after the inevitable decision by the Premier League to uphold the dubious ruling not to dock West Ham points over the Carlos Tevez affair -- therefore officially dooming Sheffield United t
The Title Winning Season in Review: Sheffield United (Away) November 18th
By Nick | June 21st, 2007The season passed mid-November with United showing little sign of slowing down. This time, it was the soon to be Carlos Tevez hating Sheffield United put to the sword thanks to a Rooney brace. The Guardian match report gushed: "There is a convic
Anfield Banter: EPL schedule changes, Roma & Juve join Bellamy hunt, 'Phase 2' about to begin?, Tevez is probably not coming, & Hopefully Diego Forlan won't be either
By Brian | June 19th, 2007* Well we've already had two changes in the EPL schedule. First, the West Ham match at Anfield on August 15th has been erased from the schedule since it falls on a Champion's League third round qualifying date. I wonder why it was ever scheduled for tha
Today's Terrace Talk

Sheffield United Fans Have Very Little to Smile About Right Now
By Nick | May 21st, 2007Still coming to terms with their agonizing last day relegation out of the Premier League (and future appearance in this Championship blog), Blades followers now have to cope with the depressing news that the club's new boss is one of the worst managers o
Aston Villa (3) Sheffield United (0)
By DJ Cuts | May 9th, 2007Villa's last home game of the season, it was important we finished on high at home an thanks to some of the best football Villa have played at home this season, they did in front of the European cup winning team of 82..... With the European cup winning
A Win, Is a Win, Is a Win (Or: How on Earth Did Sheffield United Not Get That Penalty?)
By Nick | April 17th, 2007Well it wasn't really ever in question, and United pretty much strolled past the dull Blades (!!). There were literally times the players walked the ball around the park. Some things however, did stand out: 1. If we suffer any more injuries in defense
That Was A Close One
By BC | March 31st, 2007After eighty-minutes of no goals, it was getting a bit worrisome for Bolton supporters. Would we do it again? Would we give points to a lowly team that we should beat? Well, where as it might be the nice thing our mothers taught us to do, we didn't
Three Points?
By BC | March 30th, 2007The Super Whites will meet Neil Warnock's Blades this weekend. One would think it would be an easy three points as fifth place takes on a side only four points clear of relegation, and realistically it probably should be relatively easy. Unfortunately,
Liverpool 4, Sheffield United 0 (with highlights)
By Brian | February 27th, 2007Sorry about the tardiness of this review, but I have a severre case of the stomach flu. Stomach flu so bad that if I described it to you, you'd probably get sick yourself. First things first, I said I hated how physical Sheffield United likes to play an
Liverpool - Sheffield United: First Half thoughts
By Brian | February 24th, 2007- Hyypia looks out of sync and is attempting the long ball pass more than I would like. He did have one nice pass to Gonzo though, which the Chilean failed to convert. - The Blades are playing just as physical as I thought they would and are paying fo
Shocking line-up?! Mascherano to make debut.
By Brian | February 24th, 2007Wow. Rafa really outdid himself this time. Dudek Finnan Hyypia Carragher Riise Pennant Gerrard Mascherano Gonzalez Crouch Fowler Subs: Padelli Agger Alonso Sissoko Kuyt First, No Pepe?! What the f**k?! Hyypia starting over Agger
Liverpool - Sheffield United Preview
By Brian | February 24th, 2007To say this game is important for both sides is definitely an understatement, though it's without a doubt more of a must-win for Liverpool if they want to stay in contention for a Champion's League spot. The Blades are ten points clear of the relegation
Full Time: Sheffield United 1-0 Arsenal
By Trent | December 30th, 2006Well that was fairly uninspired play from the Gunners. Kudos to the Blades for giving their chances at staying up a boost.
Half Time: Blades 1-0 Gunners
By Trent | December 30th, 2006Sheffield United have had the better afternoon thus far, with Nade's 40th-minute strike the only goal. It's rainy, the pitch is crappy, and to drop points here would be quite bad, even with this depleted Arsenal side.
Rooney Double Dulls Blades
By Nick | November 19th, 2006Well, thankfully, United managed to avoid any letdown before perhaps, the two biggest matches of the season so far. Inspired by the plainly back in-form Rooney, we should have won by more - and if it wasn't for Ronaldo missing an absolute sitter - we
United Travel to Steel City
By Nick | November 17th, 2006United's last squad to visit Bramall Lane contained a certain Monsieur Cantona ("Ooh Aah"). For tomorrow's visit, the squad looks healthy - and hopefully they're not looking beyond this match to the crucial Celtic, and Chelsea games. As usual, life at
Sir Alex Looks Ahead...
By Nick | November 15th, 2006It's international week - so things are a little quiet at Old Trafford. However, the build up to the massive visit of Chelsea in eleven days has begun. Ahead of Saturday's trip to Sheffield United - Fergie has wisely stated the importance of the Chels
