The case in point is that we beat Blackpool at home in our promotion season and 18 months later they were in the premiership! Not quite as enjoyable as beating them at Wembley, particularly with the penalties at our end  |

Because of the rest of my post in particular the sentence immediately after explaining why, which you haven't quoted, aussie. Again why? Why should I question the Gaffer about any opinion? You obviously don`t get it! I watched it on a small p.c. monitor, he saw it live and would have had good replays to watch (as other people did, and obviously saw it clearer than I did). I typed about what I could see at the time, watched it back on a small screen later and it looked like a deflection, I`ve seen it since ( on a decent sized screen ) and I haven`t argued the case. You pitch in, well after the event, and ask me to talk to the gaffer about it? Wouldn`t ever show him that sort of disrespect! Also, by the way, trying to belittle people is dis-honourable! |

Earlier on the morning of me making the post you reiterated your belief from the day before that it was a deflection and belittled a poster saying 'you're always right, aren't you' when they also questioned your reiteration. And having read your rant at me which was deleted, after the one calling me a 'hater', I think it was fairly reasoned by comparison, aussie. I'm glad you've now had a better view of the incident, Aussene. It was an error that in the context of errors by Mark Ellis, is more eloquently described by Jon on his own half time observations. I'll grant you that.  |

I'll grant you that. I deleted that rant because I had seen the incedent again clearly and on something that you could actually see detail in, therefor I detracted that rant, when I first read your view on it it came across to me as maybe something that had a bit of hater in it! Just the way it read at the time, and as far as belittling people goes every time I have an opinion `Mr.Correction` seems to want to stick his oar in and try to belittle me, might look like me just having a go at someone for no reason but this guy appears to enjoy picking up on anything I think and having a right go at it, may be I`ve got the wrong end of the stick (wouldn`t be the first time)! |

before anyone gets too euphoric, Sheff U are not a "championship" team, they're in L1 team for a reason and that's because they're not good enough to be at a higher level I used the phrase "Sheffield United's players are Championship quality" and I would stand by that. Whether they produce "Championship quality" consistently is something I don't know - I'd be better placed to comment on Len Badger, Alan Woodward and Tony Currie. Whether Danny Wilson is capable of molding them into a Championship quality TEAM is something that remains to be seen - maybe he will, maybe he won't. I wouldn't get as carried away as young James in drawing conclusions on Crawley's future prospects. Crawley may very well have played better against us than Sheffield United did (I don't know, I missed the Crawley game), but that doesn't necessarily mean that they would finish above them in a 46-game season. Crawley would probably hold their own in League 1 (unless the dodgy money runs out) but I couldn't see them walking it. |

Don`t know many people who`s judgement and knowledge about football, as well as history, is quite as up there as Jon`s! OOOhhh! Mr.Correction has got bored with me and has found another victim, appears to be someone that should really have been a really good school teacher to be fair! Maybe he is, this could explain quite alot |

This is what I said about the Argyle game - I think it's relevant to the Sheffield United game. It was a bit of a strange local derby to be honest - as it is rare for there to be such a gulf in class between the two sides. In many ways, that made it like one of those giants v minnows FA Cup ties that we have witnessed from both sides of the fence. Going in to it, you think you will win, you even think you have a decent chance of handing out a drubbing but you have a nagging doubt that you could fall flat on your face and end up looking stupid. The first half was so typical of that kind of game. In a way, you could say there was nothing between the two teams. If you looked a little deeper you could see that one side was working its socks off and going at full throttle to close space down, whilst the favourites were knocked off their stride and struggling to get going. If this could continue for another twenty minutes or so, there could be a goal on the break and anything could happen. But then class tells, the resistance crumbles and it looks like it could be a massacre. Then the big boys take their foot off the gas and the underdogs rally to grab a plucky consolation goal and finish with a respectable scoreline. |
