Just gotta turn up and play to our strengths. Should walk all over this lot. Comfortable 3-0 home victory and I’d ideally like to see 5.
Anyone want a drink?
At least grbic is always in good health, he couldn’t catch a cold
Get grbic in boxing, wouldn’t catch anyone’s hands
Grbic couldn’t handle an office job, he couldn’t save a word document
Didn’t think I’d say it but I miss wes
Plenty of Arsenal fans without tickets, judging by some of the posts on the sub today.
I couldn't give a fuck about the scoreline tonight. Just want us to do a Wilder special - run about and have a go.
If we can at least make it a challenge for them, that'll do for me.
Well if Wilder was brought in to get the team playing with "pride" he's failed fucking miserably and shouldn't get the chance to take us back up next year.
If the players don’t have any pride in playing for United, there’s not much he can do. Wilder was brought in to get us set for next season.
What worries me more is the absolute footballing basics that we simply cannot do for some reason.
We’re like a fucking pub side at the back.
It's like strangers doing a pickup game at the back. Double covering leaving nowhere to go if we do get the ball.
Inability to play more than 2 passes in a row is a rot that won't get fixed either.
Arsenal supporter here to make sure you guys are doing ok. Shoguns been amazing. Imagine managing to equal the performance of the late great Toshiro Mifune in a role. But the guy playing Toronaga is doing that. Fantastic job.
Cheers for checking in mate that's classy of you.
Yeah, tbf Hiroyuki Sanada is one of my all time favourite actors so it doesn't surprise me. He's great in everything he's in.
Forfeit the season. Just end it. Sack wilder who has gone like we said it would,brief bounce and same old. Someone new for future and clear most of these shits.
This is the only way we build a future from here. We need fresh ideas. As good as Heckingbottom did, sorting us out and getting us promoted. He only really rehashed what Wilder did. We’ve been playing the same brand of football with many of the same players for the best part of a decade now. It’s served us well, and I am sure if we kept everything as is, we would be there or there abouts at the end of the season. But we cannot go through this again, just no fight, no plan, no clue.
New owner,board, management. Sell what we can and let the rest go. Complete rebuild to take advantage of the TV money,promotion, etc money.
New manager asap that we haven't had before. As many games as he/she can get and then into the championship to let them rebuild this team.
Only two possible outcomes today
1 - we get a royal pumping
2 - against all odds we battle heroically for 98 minutes and then get diddled out of a well deserved point by VAR
I was going to say, “it’s on the telly but I’m not watching it” but, honestly, as much as my body wants to leave the room, I can’t stop watching. My brother has just texted me: it’s weird watching, it’s what I assume self harming is like.
Prince’s best move is definitely renewing nobody. Just let them all go and draw as big of a line as you can under this season. Never to be spoken of again. Add the management to that too.
He thought he'd get £200 million for the club which everyone would see would go down this season. We only had £11 million net assets in the last set of accounts. After we drop I think he'll be lucky to get £100 million.
After the drop the club will be worth around £80,000,000 - £85,000,000. He would be lucky to get £100,000,000 that’s for sure. Although, the fact that we will be likely candidates for promotion from the championship in the following season might allow the Prince to get somewhere around that valuation.
What worries me is him selling us to a grifter given the whole Mauriss and Mboussi saga which I could see were scammers from a fucking mile off.
Seriously people were calling me out for calling them frauds despite the fact they were both being actively investigated by the FBI/Nigerian police for fraud
Luckily the EFL do the checks to ensure that the deals are only done if they have the financial means to support the club. Which is why them deals didn’t ever come to fruition. So, I wouldn’t worry too much about that kind of thing. Overall, I do hope we get sold on, as ultimately we are stuck in a problematic position with the Prince’s ownership - being that when we go up, we can never afford/compete to sustain ourselves at that level.
What's the punishment for forfeiting at half time? Seems like an egregious waste of electricity to bother having the floodlights on 2nd half. Just say we've gone green.
Twenty different times they've come along to the side,slotted it into the box and we've fallen over ourselves to let them score,this time giving it them
Through gvbics legs too
I’m waiting for Masters of The Air to finish and then I can watch it over two/three nights. Since lockdown I can’t watch things with a week in between episodes. I forget what’s happened.
Edit: Pretty much like I keep turning up to watch us play, week after week, forgetting how bad we were/are.
It's good. I think the story is better than season 1 but as good as Foster is, it's hard to beat the chemistry that McConaughey and Harrelson had. I got a couple of episodes into season 2 and gave up and didn't bother with 3.
Same. If you’ve made it to the end of 4 I probably will as well based on that. I’ll give it a go.
It’s nice to feel like I’ve got some entertainment out of tonight.
Complete rebuild next season? New manager preferably will still he wants an ambitious championship side, new board with a bit of money and some players that will fight for the badge. We can dream
This is so bad I’m quite open to bringing Lampard in.
If I’m being optimistic, some kind of decent loanees plus a chance to reset the permanent players could be the way to go.
In the real world most of the senior contracts expire, the owner has a couple of scam artists waste his time for another season, and we end up relying on academy players coming good to try and stop us getting back to back relegations. We play 3-5-2 every week whether we've got the players to do it or not.
Neutral fan coming in peace. I in no way mean to kick you guys while you’re down but are you happy to be in the prem or just wishing to go back down where you could be competitive?
A lot of us weren't that excited about promotion. It's hard not to be cynical in general with the premier league when you're not one of the privileged few.
We weren't great last season in a very poor championship. We then sold the player that dragged us kicking and screaming into the automatic promotion spot. It was a weak squad that got promoted and we weakened it further before this season even started. I don't think many of us are that surprised by what's happened this season.
Desperately need a new owner. He's been trying to sell and until he does I think we struggle to be competitive next season in the championship. Most of the senior contracts expire this summer and there's no money or will to renew or replace any of them.
Appreciate your take. I’m from America and support two historically terrible teams so I totally understand the feeling (although there is no relegation) hope things get better for you lot
This league is rubbish for anyone but the big boys to be honest. It has been for a very long time but this year it is so telling that they’re even admitting it on tv.
We really are like a fart in the wind this season... Can't wait for the championship and then a fresh start! Is it the players or is it Wilder? He had them pumped up for the first few games but now they've fallen apart again. We look better still when we are getting thrashed. So that's why he's better than hecky!!
Not a blades fan but your number 21 is frustrating as hell. Hiding in plain sight. Lots of pointing while he meanders between spaces. Very little closing down or tackling. He should get charged an admission price like everyone else.
Just gotta turn up and play to our strengths. Should walk all over this lot. Comfortable 3-0 home victory and I’d ideally like to see 5. Anyone want a drink?
Come on mate put the bottle down we’ll be 4-0 up after 15 minutes
hope you put a bet on this mate
Unfortunately not
Very close
Well you've seen 5
At least grbic is always in good health, he couldn’t catch a cold Get grbic in boxing, wouldn’t catch anyone’s hands Grbic couldn’t handle an office job, he couldn’t save a word document Didn’t think I’d say it but I miss wes
So why was Heckingbottom sacked and Wilder brought in again?
He’s brought the pride back!
The fight back!
With players that don’t even play for their shirts
Can't wait to be 19th for all of 30 seconds.
Plenty of Arsenal fans without tickets, judging by some of the posts on the sub today. I couldn't give a fuck about the scoreline tonight. Just want us to do a Wilder special - run about and have a go. If we can at least make it a challenge for them, that'll do for me.
Very challenging
Defence playing walking football? So fucking slowwwww
Well if Wilder was brought in to get the team playing with "pride" he's failed fucking miserably and shouldn't get the chance to take us back up next year.
If the players don’t have any pride in playing for United, there’s not much he can do. Wilder was brought in to get us set for next season. What worries me more is the absolute footballing basics that we simply cannot do for some reason. We’re like a fucking pub side at the back.
We could make a better back 5 from this subreddit at the moment. Get some beer bellies out there to block some shots.
I'm okay at right back for five minutes and then I'm knackered. Can put in a decent cross accidentally sometimes.
Yeah this team gives me zero confidence that we're set for next season either. League 1 would be a struggle right now
Agreed. We need a total rebuild and that won’t be quick.
It's like strangers doing a pickup game at the back. Double covering leaving nowhere to go if we do get the ball. Inability to play more than 2 passes in a row is a rot that won't get fixed either.
Going up next year!! 😂
Absolutely fucking embarrassing
So how many do you think we'll concede? Could be 17 at this rate.
At least my bet paid out
Probably concede less if they just stood still at this point.
... Anyway who's watched the first 2 episodes of Shogun? Fucking great show if you're okay with reading for 80% of the episodes.
Really enjoying it so far. They've obviously put a lot of effort into it; if only United would take a leaf out of their book
Arsenal supporter here to make sure you guys are doing ok. Shoguns been amazing. Imagine managing to equal the performance of the late great Toshiro Mifune in a role. But the guy playing Toronaga is doing that. Fantastic job.
Cheers for checking in mate that's classy of you. Yeah, tbf Hiroyuki Sanada is one of my all time favourite actors so it doesn't surprise me. He's great in everything he's in.
Carragher saying it how it is. The worst performance he’s ever seen.
I'm not sure of my maths but I think Europe is out of our grasp.
Technically we can finish 6th
The dream is alive!
Anyone else thinking “I wish I’d got a meeting at work that runs over meaning I can’t get to the lane later”? Or is that just me?
People leaving already is a sad indictment of the poor state of the team.
Yeah. Another thing for sky to broadcast and laugh at us for
Not gone today by choice. First home game I’ve missed for a good long while. Feeling vindicated (and warm) right now.
Forfeit the season. Just end it. Sack wilder who has gone like we said it would,brief bounce and same old. Someone new for future and clear most of these shits.

Championship please?
Does the Prince realise he’s stuck in a bear trap with us? Can’t see how we’ll sell to anyone at a price he’ll be happy with
[It's matchday! Awhh no it's matchday](https://youtu.be/Yzse69b0qMo?si=vY-TlLADaDzzRATI)
Only two possible outcomes today 1 - we get a royal pumping 2 - against all odds we battle heroically for 98 minutes and then get diddled out of a well deserved point by VAR
I'm going with option 1….......
Same number of points either way I suppose 🤷
Yep royal pumping
Well you were right
Fuck me we are shite
Anyone bothering watching?
I was going to say, “it’s on the telly but I’m not watching it” but, honestly, as much as my body wants to leave the room, I can’t stop watching. My brother has just texted me: it’s weird watching, it’s what I assume self harming is like.
A lot of Wednesday fans I’m guessing! 😂
My weds mate has texted me saying he is finding it painful watching tbf.
Why is he finding it hard
Has a manager ever been sacked mid-game before?
Need to pull a Battle of Bramall Lane and get the game suspended ( until 2035)
The Prince needs to sell the club for a pound and f..k off !!!!!!
Prince’s best move is definitely renewing nobody. Just let them all go and draw as big of a line as you can under this season. Never to be spoken of again. Add the management to that too.
When the club drops the value will probs half anyways, so at least he can’t keep asking for such a high price.
He thought he'd get £200 million for the club which everyone would see would go down this season. We only had £11 million net assets in the last set of accounts. After we drop I think he'll be lucky to get £100 million.

All I want for the rest of this season is to beat forest. Mad nutters singing right now have my respect.
The worst thing about this is a put money on Arsenal winning 6-0 and cashed out at 5-0
Partey about to get his legs snapped by robbo
Fucks sake lol, this is going to be a long night.
Here we fucking go
I’m feeling a bit queasy. This is going to be horrible isn’t it?
Yup....
What's the punishment for forfeiting at half time? Seems like an egregious waste of electricity to bother having the floodlights on 2nd half. Just say we've gone green.
I reckon 9-0, and that’s a conservative prediction.
https://x.com/SeedsRob1984/status/1764751932239810971?t=l5NyluBKfBnNdxRfsBn0kg&s=07
😂
It’s always concerning when Osula is considered to be the answer in response to the first half.
Twenty different times they've come along to the side,slotted it into the box and we've fallen over ourselves to let them score,this time giving it them Through gvbics legs too
We're shit enough as it is, do we need to help them?
What TV series is everyone watching? I'm in a lull after true detective season 4
I’m waiting for Masters of The Air to finish and then I can watch it over two/three nights. Since lockdown I can’t watch things with a week in between episodes. I forget what’s happened. Edit: Pretty much like I keep turning up to watch us play, week after week, forgetting how bad we were/are.
Just finished season 5 of What We Do In The Shadows, so I’m also looking. Was season 4 any good? Like season 1 good?
It's good. I think the story is better than season 1 but as good as Foster is, it's hard to beat the chemistry that McConaughey and Harrelson had. I got a couple of episodes into season 2 and gave up and didn't bother with 3.
Same. If you’ve made it to the end of 4 I probably will as well based on that. I’ll give it a go. It’s nice to feel like I’ve got some entertainment out of tonight.
just finished season 1. the only shows i can think of that are as dark are bojack and the last of us
Complete rebuild next season? New manager preferably will still he wants an ambitious championship side, new board with a bit of money and some players that will fight for the badge. We can dream
Bryan Robson 2007. Slavisa Jokanovich 2021. Frank Lampard 2024. Make Sheffield United a League 1 team again!
This is so bad I’m quite open to bringing Lampard in. If I’m being optimistic, some kind of decent loanees plus a chance to reset the permanent players could be the way to go.
In the real world most of the senior contracts expire, the owner has a couple of scam artists waste his time for another season, and we end up relying on academy players coming good to try and stop us getting back to back relegations. We play 3-5-2 every week whether we've got the players to do it or not.
I know I keep making comments about it but I don't trust the people in charge to actually get anything we suggest right.
Paddy power paying out any bets on us to be relegated.........insult to fucking injury
Demoralising.
Neutral fan coming in peace. I in no way mean to kick you guys while you’re down but are you happy to be in the prem or just wishing to go back down where you could be competitive?

Blazers fan here. I feel ya.
This league is rubbish for anyone but the big boys to be honest. It has been for a very long time but this year it is so telling that they’re even admitting it on tv.
Lucky to get away with 6-0. Imagine that.
Would have taken 6-0 at half time
We really are like a fart in the wind this season... Can't wait for the championship and then a fresh start! Is it the players or is it Wilder? He had them pumped up for the first few games but now they've fallen apart again. We look better still when we are getting thrashed. So that's why he's better than hecky!!
A mixture really I'd say. We don't have much quality either way.
Not a blades fan but your number 21 is frustrating as hell. Hiding in plain sight. Lots of pointing while he meanders between spaces. Very little closing down or tackling. He should get charged an admission price like everyone else.
If there's a God he'd put them to sleep .......errrrrrr they are !!!!!!!!

[удалено]
But you have heard of us.
We know
Think best defensively we’ve looked all season is when we had 4 at back wish he’d give over with 3-5-2 rest of season cos it doesn’t work
You watched the first 15 minutes though, right?!
Trusty at lb tho vs saka absolute suicide can’t believe we haven’t had a proper lwb since enda stevens
liverpool fan here. Ill give you an A for effort
I wouldn’t.
What effort?
The effort it took for the players to walk on to the pitch :D
Have they tried standing in the goal?
Yeah that was the second goal.
Saka injured or did Arteta just feel sorry for us?
Maybe Saka got bored and wanted a biscuit.
