Nah, he'll probably be back at Thorp Arch with the youth squad. Warnock (it feels wrong typing that) might bring his own staff in. Yay for us.

Anyway, 2 defeats in 30 eh? Pretty damn inpressive and I would say I look forward to beating your lot next season but we'll obviously be promoted by then.


Who dares to be Warnock's assistant these days?

Yep, unbeaten at home as well, most wins in English football, best defence in the league etc. Ah, ze Yorkshit arrogance.

Not arrogance, t'is fact. The messiah has arrived apparently.

It might be entertaining though if I'm honest, Bates and Warnock is a sitcom waiting to happen, I just wish it was at another fucking club!

If by Messiah you mean he'll use the words "Jesus Christ" a lot, amongst other blasphemy, then you're probably right.

Yeah it's going to be entertaining, if nothing else. Warnock and Jordan at Palarse was bad enough and they ended up falling out big time, mind you who doesn't fall out with Jordan? I hear he's in the middle of some paternity dispute in court at the moment with some piece of filth that gets her jugs out for money. Good to see that slimey piece of crap in a court room sweating underneath his peroxide blonde hair, I hope she takes him for everything he's got. She can start with that Florida villa he wouldn't sell to save Palarse's skin.

I'm really pleased with the response today in our second half. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is what we lacked with our two previous managers. Powelly has really got this team motivated, united and has a gameplan for this season, he's done it all with an entire squad (17 out, 23 in) he pretty much threw together over the summer and yes, he had some money, but money doesn't equal everything, it's a very difficult job to get a team to bond so quickly and turn in the performances and results we have, it shows his class and where he stands as a manager to watch for the future. Steel City derby next weekend, a draw ideally would suit us but to be honest I'm not going to lie and I'll say I hope the Blades do 'em. It may not be the best result for us but the look on Gary Megson's face is just too much to resist.

I think we could win our next three games tbh (Wycombe at home, Huddersfield away, Preston at home) so we can hopefully go back into the automatic promotion positions by the time we play the MASSIVE.

Your in a great position, like ourselves, with the two games in hand on Wednesday and the one on Huddersfield as well.

If we can both keep the momentum going we have a great chance to pull away and we have a reasonable looking run-in, the trip to Huddersfield and the game at home to Stevenage the only two I classify as worries, although nothing can be taken for granted. I think the title run-in, if it does got that way, could be interesting, I'm pretty confident we'll do it, I can't honestly see us losing back-to-back games the rest of this season. Even when we start absolutely woefully, like we did yesterday, we still seem to be able to fight our way back into games and look like the team that should have won. That pitch looked pretty horrendous yesterday, both sides struggled to keep the ball down, but then I guess that's the after-effects of a very cold snap that has left pitches hard and bouncy.

Two home games now, Rochdale and the forementioned Stevenage. Need to win them both (especially with United not playing their game in hand until a week Wednesday) and we really should, yes, Stevenage have had a fantastic season but we shouldn't have lost 1-0 to them in the reverse and we owe it to ourselves to give these two a real spanking. We're knocking on the door of one of those kind of results and watching us in the second half yesterday I got the feeling we're only going to need one to go in early one and we could go on a bit of a rout.

Why Bob? I'd love to see him out on his arse again. If he's sacked next Monday let's face it, Wednesday are going nowhere quickly. New manager in, 13 games remaining, eight points behind you, they're bitter rivals. That'd be a job and a half just to keep them in the play-offs I imagine, I'm guessing they'd go for Lee Clark but what's he going to do there in that space of time that he couldn't manage in Huddersfield?

I take it you're going Sunday Bob, early thoughts?

Not a prayer of me tempting fate, but I think Megson will be out of work come next week.
I want him to stay because I honestly think he is shite and deluded. They really do deserve each other.

A home win for Tamworth against Newport. It's been a while since I've seen 3 points picked up at home, and that should make me optimistic for the next few games, however they are as follows:

Mansfield A
Fleetwood H
York A
Mansfield H
Grimsby A

Talk about a frigging mountain to climb! I can see points being picked up at York and Grimsby, but just because they can be quite inconsistent, but I can see Tamworth slipping down the table over the next few weeks.

Far from the most perfect result although the booing. The booing. I mean there are some Charlton fans I just want to put out of their misery, there really is. 7 points clear at the top, a game in hand on 3rd place, unbeaten at home, 2 defeats in 31 games. What the hell more do they want? Last night was difficult to describe, we made a poor start as we have done recently and that needs working on, but much also like our recent games, we dominated the second half and easily could have won the game 3 or 4-1. We were missing two key players last night, Chris Solly who was out with flu and Johnnie Jackson who has missed the last two with a hamstring niggle. JJ is a big loss, forget his deadball ability (we still scored from a free kick last night), but he controls the midfield and is the link between defence and attack, we lack a bit of composure when he's not playing and give the ball away a bit too much, I hope we can get him back for Saturday because three points would be good against Stevenage.

Still can't complain, not going to win them all and we're picking up points each game. I'm not going to have a panic attack because we've drawn two in a row.

I do love the way derbies are talked up in English football, like we should all care because two massive clubs are taking part and that is what defines football isn't it?

15 minutes in and this one is piss-poor.

Stevenage at home on Saturday and close to a sell-out now, which should be, if nothing more, good revenue for the club, but given how well we're doing this season it might also be a positive move to try and attract some of the fans who have, ahem, "lost their way" over recent seasons, back to the club. Stevenage really don't need any introduction, they've stamped their mark on this League and may still go and do the same in the Championship next season, but we owe ourselves a big win and I feel one's coming this weekend. They'll have half an eye on the cup replay at Spurs and on the back of a surprise defeat to Notts County I think they might be a little uncertain and in front of a 27,000 crowd I'd like to see us take advantage of that, I think we'll win 3-0 to be honest. I'd also like to silence the critics, both in the camp who think we're bottle jobs because we've drawn two in a row, and outside who are more than happy to throw the monkey on Charlton's back when we have the slightest dip in form but point blank refuse to offer us any credit when we're crusing in top spot. I'm tired of being the fucking underdogs in this top four, I want us to show why we're capable of being champions on Saturday and then we can move onto Sunday and, no offense lads, but get this fucking derby out of the way and move on with the rest of our lives. All I keep hearing is about "piggys" (and I have to be honest, I can't figure out who's calling who it, it seems a traded insult between both clubs) and Chris Waddle's free kick, I've seen it replayed three times already on TV this week. Whatever the outcome, enjoy the game and that but stay safe, I've seen a few statements from the police already so hopefully there won't be too many goings-on but I guess you never know in football these days, after all they thought they were "well-prepared" for West Ham v Milwall in 2009 didn't they?

Kermit scored a beautiful free kick for us the other night (that's right jonson, he might not be able to chip in a 12-yard penalty but this lad can curl one, still travelling, into the top corner from 25 yards, trust me, second time this season!). He was cracking all Tuesday night, movement on and off the ball excellent, getting on the end of crosses, holding the ball up, two late chances that went very close. He gets better and better every time I see him play and he was free. FREE! I can't believe Dirty Dougie has been nominated for Manager of the Year, or that Palarse's latest overrated teenage "sensation" Wilfried Zaha is in the player nominations, all for beating United's second string in ET at OT in a Carling Cup game. Apart from that they play a horrendous style of football that looks like a mixture between lacrosse and table tennis, they score at a rate of one goal every four games and sing that stupid chant many others in this country nicked from Celtic because they're not smart enough to come up with their own songs (okay, I appreciate that probably wasn't Freedman's fault, but I'll still try and blame him for it.). Mid-to-lower championship fodder once again in their Antiques Roadshow football ground, just wait till we get to have another go at them. We'll see how much they like it, like it, like it, then.

I'm quite happy to get it over with too. As for the piggy thing, Hillsborough is build on a piggery and the surrounding area had a large amount of small holdings where pigs were kept.
In retaliation the team from South Barnsley decided that red and white striped looks like bacon and returned the piggy complement, and since forth arguments have been going off as to who said it first.
Its up to the individual as to which story they believe, although biased I've never eaten a red piece of bacon but hey.

They also apparently sang "hark now hear first too, which is also highly unlikely as they inflicted the boxing day massacre on us, so why would they fight for evermore?
Then again they also claim to have sung you never walk alone first too.

Oh, I agree. With the exception of Birmingham and Villa, I can never make out these midlands "derbies" and who is who's fiercest rival. It seems they all they think the other lot from the next city on are 'sheepshaggers.'

Well that makes a little more sense, thanks. And yes, I have never eaten a red piece of bacon in my life either, but like you said in earlier posts, delusion and Wednesday fans fit quite nicely together.

It seems to me the Wendys think they invented football, I don't know whether to decide if they are so stuck in the past they're beyond comphrension, or they're just utterly stupid. Whatever, I'll be quite happy if we're not playing in the same league as them next season. I've been to Hillsborough, it's vile, they're vile and I'm tired of those sorts of clubs to be honest, I can handle it from clubs playing in the prem but not one that has fallen just as far as us, almost gone bankrupt and who took our best player off us last summer but still can't get above us in the league. I really hope they rot here.

I don't know about the origins of those two particurlar songs, although I think 'You'll Never Walk Alone' is Celtic's isn't it? Not that many clubs have original and unique football chants these days, ours is uncanninly similar to Forest's. But that's footie I guess, I've only been to one game so far this season so haven't been part of a proper chant in a long time!

Don't get me started on your lot. I've seen that Marching On chant first hand with the strange fist pumping thing that goes with it, along with the hordes of riot police behind them at the Valley, it doesn't look especially appealing.

So negative, those riot police must have been Leeds fans and as you know all Leeds fans are civilised folk and not ones to cause trouble.

To be fair when your stood in the East Stand it can be a nice little chant with all the familys present but when your in the Revie Stand it becomes some sort of tribal war chant not helped by all the security. It's very weird.

Bradley's back!

That's what I've been looking for, we really rolled it out today from the sounds of the commentary, completely dominated and it was only a matter of time before the first goal and Michael Morrison put away his fifth of the season emphatically to say the least. BWP finally gets himself a goal too, having not scored since November 19th, but he's always had it in him and just needed a bit of luck and he's got it, it wouldn't be a silly bet to say he'll go on and score on Tuesday night now as well. We've done what I said in my previous post today, we've played like champions elect should and this three points has come with perfect timing. We can all sit back now and watch this Sheffield derby, or rather watch the score come through on my phone down the pub as I'm watching a far, far, far bigger game between Arsenal and Spurs!

COYR!!!

Sorry, missed this question. I'm not going to the match, but I'll be at Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane for the live beamback with 10,000 of like minded Blades. I'll be a nicer atmosphere, and I can have a beer while I'm watching it too.

How come you missed your match today, fiver a ticket wasn't it?


£5 a ticket plus £50 train return pluys £10 food money plus roughly £30 beer money not to mention travel costs either side of the mainline train ticket. Alas it's still not a great deal for us lot down here and I'm trying to save my dollars for the games towards the end of the season, alas I have also been laid low with the flu and am still not right so I'm quite glad I didn't go today.

I've been fairly lame in my support this season but time and money have not afforded me it, the three straight years of every home and away game has caught up with my bank account methinks.

Sorry, missed this question. I'm not going to the match, but I'll be at Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane for the live beamback with 10,000 of like minded Blades. I'll be a nicer atmosphere, and I can have a beer while I'm watching it too.

Ah, nice. I take it you both know or work with Wednesday fans, so what's the deal come Monday morning if things don't work out tomorrow then? I'd be intrigued to look at company's sicknotes in Sheffield a day after the derby games.

Well the Bournemouth chairman didn't exactly cover himself in glory on the 606 phone-in tonight


I heard something about this. Didn't he swear a lot or something? Anyone got a link?

Bournemouth, can't get a ticket for that either. 1,300 allocation long since sold out. Getting a ticket for some away games this season is a nightmare whereas over the past two I could have got five up to Carlisle for the price of one to be honest!

Not really got any audio unless you download the podcast which is how I heard it.

Here is a link on the BBC site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17168996

I just want the Steel City Derby to go away so we can concentrate on the rest of the season and going up automatically in 2nd.

I must say I was disappointed down the pub when I saw the score come out, I'll ignore the ginger pube's comments later on tonight about how the Wendys now run football in the country and are going to win the CL next season. Remember though you are still two points clear of them, have two games in hand on them as well, this result will count for very little come the end of the season if you go up and they don't.

We looked fantastic yesterday, what a goal by Morrison, and he's a centre-back! Chesterfield Tuesday night, three more points would do nicely, we're pulling away now and with the clock ticking our odds have taken another slashing. As I said, this league is ours.........

So, lost to Mansfield as expected. The annoying thing is, Lambs were 1-0 up until the last 15-20 minutes! I still don't think there's anything to worry about survival wise, but as mentioned above, there's some tough games ahead so need all the points we can get.
Fortunately the teams in the bottom 4-6 are too poor to provide any real threat to those above them. So even though there will no doubt be many points dropped in the next few weeks, I think this season, there's no chance of going down.

In all fairness to Eddie Mitchell, it was a stupid fucking question and the whole thing was blown out of proportion by typical, shoddy BBC journalism. She didn't come in at half-time and "give a team talk", she can barely speak a word of English, she wanted to wish the players all the best and what's wrong with that? Perhaps we should stop all being so cynical for a moment and treat it how it is, also does Chapman have a problem with Bournemouth FC. "If you're a Bournemouth fan, I would have a word with yourself...." What? How's it Bournemouth fans' fault that their chairman has decided to go on national radio and make a fool of himself. It's not their fault, blame him, don't blame them, Chapman is showing himself up there too. They had plenty of time to cut him off between his first use of an offensive word and his last, they perservered because they knew what would happen, all this crap about "I'm not having that, we apoligise etc." Oh pull the other one BBC!

Mitchell has also come out and said since that he received a blocked phone call whilst he was driving and wasn't even told he was speaking on live radio, for all he knew it was another journalist trying to dig up dirt and cause himself and the football club more problems, see there are two sides to every story.

Chesterfield away tonight. These games look easy on paper, but never are on the field, and it wouldn't greatly surprise me if it finished in a draw. Chesterfield are propping the league up and battling for every point going, these kind of games inspire them and John Sheridan has a problem with us after getting sent to the stands in the reverse fixture at the Valley after the referee didn't spot a handball, a lot coming out of the Chesterfield camp over the last few days about how they "can beat us." I expect them to be up for it and we're in the middle of a very hectic period of football but Powelly has proved his managerial nous here before and I expect him to do it again and hopefully Scunny will do us a favour against United as well. We sold out our intial allocation for the game when it was due to be held at the end of January on a Saturday but now it's a midweek fixture I imagine there's been quite a few returned tickets so the support sadly won't be the same.

Leon Clarke comes up against his former club tonight though and I think there's every chance he might get his first goal for us.
