I don’t disagree - yet the hyperbole circus seems happy to dismiss him as a lesser light… it’s a bit odd … he utterly did Roberto today, or perhaps Roberto utterly did himself ?

Rigidity vs pragmatism…. Turns out a pragmatic approach can reap rewards. I said a while back that, if we ignore the hyperbole, step back etc. the reality is that Roberto is really no better than a Silva at PL level… for some reason the media have decided Roberto falls into the maverick genius...

Pretty woeful, one of our worst PL performances… ? It’s up there I suspect, especially considering Fulham aren’t exactly brilliant… lots to put right on Thursday… fingers crossed we can.

I predict a public RDZ falling out to conclude this particular little Albion/Barca ‘love’ affair…

The keeper thing is really frustrating… and it does appear that it’s not really working, is it ?

Hmmmmm ... I'm sure Roberto will go, and maybe at the end of the season... you know, when it's way more sustainable for the club he's leaving... Potter couldn't wait to get away... He did the same in Sweden, the same in Swansea... he's a career coach, with the emphasis on 'his' ... he's also had...

Totally agree Thst, and as we clearly need less games not more… well, this defeat has many silver linings if you care to give it some thought… fundamentally we were never likely to win this trophy, not with the teams left in the mix and our crippling injury list/fatigue… time to focus on a...

Legend ? Seriously ? Is he a Gary Hart, a Peter Ward ? A Steve Gritt? Even a player like Kuipers is more deserving of that kind of hyperbolic praise… He was a decent coach and (like Poyet) fairly transformative, but at a higher level. He’s also a mercenary gun for hire and in my eyes no...

That's awful news... It makes me realise how quickly life passes us all by... It seems like only yesterday when I first discovered NSC back in its visual basic days... circa 96-97... I would have been about 15, and acted like it... lol... I remember Hitony from the intervening years, and as...

I know, it’s all a bit WWF or WWE or whatever it’s called these days 😂 I get it in some respects, it’s about ‘respect’ and for the kids I guess it’s important that the modern form of the game places mutual respect etc. at the heart of its public face. It’s a shame however that this has spread...

Lol The game’s had a complete charisma bypass, on the pitch and off and amongst the journalists too… even Roberto has stopped talking about our colossal balls… doubtless after being coached on the ‘proper’ way to do and say things… it’s all so vanilla, an unspoken code of conduct with no room...

Love Gus, although it took me time to forgive him for his antics around the time of the infamous ‘live sacking’, I’d love to see him back in English football… although I have my doubts he’d get a top flight job… unless he stays with Greece and produces a miracle… When he arrived as our coach, I...

Peake still played one of the best first time volleyed passes I’ve ever seen live, in the epic 4-4 draw against Orient. However, he was to put it mildly - not very good.

Didn’t we sign Glenn from Rochdale? If so, we all owe them one. As others have said, proper local club and a ground I’ve always wanted to visit, along with Mansfield. In sure they held the record for not being promoted or relegated (from what is now league 2) … could be wrong, but I’m sure...

I think he showed that turn of speed when he did Kyle Walker for pace whilst playing for Poland vs England - albeit pre-injury… he’s got lots in his locker… really hope he stays fit :)

If you look at the ground he made up… Christ he was quick… to then keep his head and not just bundle into McAtee was (as you say) equally impressive… Roberto will have loved that. Loved it. Nice work Jakub.

Now with the caveat that Sheff utd were atrocious… Moder looked good/tidy and physically he (at times) looked dominant in and around a thuggish midfield… the sprint back to catch McAtee was superb play/desire… it showed power and pace… for me he’s operating at 70% ish in terms of...

My dad was, believe me… it was almost like they were sulking re the sending off… fine! We’ll just sit here and watch you… beat that ! lol… and they’re so bad we did… and how.

Yeah, we all commented on that my dad going: - “why are they preparing for an aerial bombardment? we’re not playing Everton!” That was bizarre and the players all looked like they were thinking … wtf? Although clearly Holgate just doesn’t think… That tackle was horrible, I honestly thought...

Having watched with my dad, a lifelong Blade, he was embarrassed… especially by the tackle, and any lack of coherent strategy prior to going to 10 as well as the training match tactics of the second half. Bearing in mind my dad is 78, he’s rarely seen a sheff utd team this bad… he couldn’t...
