Sheffield United 0-1 Newcastle, Longstaff.
3-0 to the magpies now. I think The blades have given up the ghost
I'm not sure I necessarily agree Derby's points total record will be er broken but I think the bottom three will probably get the least between them ever.
0-4 Wilson now.
5 nil Gordon
Sheffield United have got bored of narrow defeats
Almiron makes it 0-6.
7 Guimares
WTF. :haha:
8-0 Isaak
The record is in danger.
What a massacre
We still haven’t had double figures in the premier league have we? Couple of 9s but haven’t crossed that frontier quite yet
*Checks to see when we play Sheffield United*

We’ve scored the same amount of goals (11) but we’ve had three penalties and an own goal compared to two penalties then
We are mid table in terms of chances created
The play is turgid and predictable. And we’ve lost five players to soft tissue injuries
So yeah dispiriting is an accurate term. No it’s not disastrous, we probably will get into the top four despite my earlier claims to the contrary but it’s not going to be pretty to watch, and it’s going to be a damp squib when considering the money we’ve spent.
I haven’t looked at the table and to be honest I don’t really look at it until new year. We haven’t got going this season and no amount of laboured results will tell me otherwise. I think a disastrous result is looming and it won’t really come as a shock when it happens.
This part is possibly true. The pressure is on given how the board have backed Arteta.Quote:

Pretty sure we'll lose but if we could sneak a win it would be very encouraging.
I still think it's early to be drawing conclusions.
By the way. We did, but that was the one where Ruud Van Horseface smacked the bar with that late penalty.Quote:

That penalty goes in and it completely changes how we see that season, and 2003 you would probably have been moaning your tits off.
While we're here, that Bergkamp penalty goes in in '99 and no Utd treble and it might have propelled us to The Double. Fine lines.
And we played the last fifteen minutes with ten men, we went into that game and we played for a draw, we didn’t do much in an attacking sense but we absolutely nullified them…so you’re right I would have been moaning my tits off at Steve Bennett for awarding the penalty, on one hand wouldn’t have been overturned by VAR as wasn’t a clear and obvious error but it was ridiculously soft.Quote:

Certainly plausible. Utd won 12 or the next 14 in the league so it didn't exactly stop their momentum. Utd were ahead of us after that run.Quote:
