You're hilarious, Bumba. Even your username is funny. It always raises a laugh. Honestly.

It doesn’t even make any sense. You can level plenty at Trafford (and no doubt Bumba has), but he’s not been dropping crosses etc this season.

Deservedly so. Sheff U have fight, like Luton.

As for us. Worst team in the league. Possibly ever in PL history. Worst manager in the league. Players who can't be arsed.

Not only will we finish bottom we'll be some way short of 19th.

Misery vulture.

Sheffield United are shite, but they are winning today. Even **** teams win occasionally.

Here endeth my analysis.

Good episode.

If you’re going to talk about curses, I think it’s time to address the curse of the Bee Hole End podcast. We went from the best of seasons to worst of seasons from the moment the pod was launched.

Potentially but given we will be the most wealthy club in the championship I would still expect us to be promoted quite comfortably

If we don’t it will be a massive failure

So much speculation, so few facts.

Unless you’re an Arsenal fan, this is thoroughly depressing.

Football shouldn’t be this one-sided.

This could be an interesting new UTC series.

“Next week we ask what Head Groundsman Barry O’Brien must be thinking”.

agreenwood

We played better than of late in the first half. Odobert, Fofana, Brun Larsen and Vitinho all had very presentable chances to score. Unfortunately we conceded the obligatory soft goal. Second half was flat and our decision making in the final third let us down. As the game wore on you could see them...

So we should all suffer in silence, you brainless sheep, you can't keep putting up with the same rubbish week in week out, without venting your feelings, or nothing will get changed. He’s twenty-fucking-one and whether you rate him or not he’s our player. No good will come from chanting for someone...

Did they chant Muric’s name just after that pass Trafford made which nearly cost us (another) goal?

Yeah. The cricket field end did. Clear as day.

Brainless.

When you’re “disengaged” but use various platforms to keep talking about the thing you’re “disengaged” from.

agreenwood

I think it’s virtually impossible to decipher the extent to which we’ve attempted to maintain our playing style from last season. A team low in confidence, lacking sufficient quality and full of inexperience will probably look an uncoordinated mess regardless of what’s done on the training ground. I...

agreenwood

What existing scouting network? The Dyche/Garlick one? Was that any good, especially with younger players which has been our direction since VK came? Allegedly ALK’s hands were all over the transfer dealings in the summer before the 2021/22 season, so maybe we can’t count those. Going further back ...

agreenwood

Someone on UTC who has never seen VK’s contract or been able to establish whether there’s a termination clause of a lower value than the sum of his remaining wages, speculates that we’d have to pay up his entire contract and…. Voila!….suddenly the UTC cognoscenti have settled on £20m.

agreenwood

Couple of things. Neither make this any more easier to stomach, but: 1. There was a fair bit of commentary at the time that the initial penalty was deliberately inflated as the EPL fully expected Everton to challenge it and that there was a strong chance it’d be reduced on appeal. Essentially they w...

Both Leeds and Leicester look far better than we were last season.
Both want to attack with pace and purpose.

We looked good knocking it about round the back most weeks, but it's what happens in the opposition half that counts.

******* hell.

3-1, didn’t see this coming ten minutes ago

An old school lesson in what happens when you miss lots of chances to make it 2-0.

Happy for Roberts. Badly treated at Burnley this season. Way better rb than Vitinho. Different game since he came on

He started 8 of the first 9 games and wasn’t very good. Vitinho may not have been very good either, but there’s not been much difference.

Not sure we miss him at this level.

Lino wrongly disallowed a Leicester goal doesn’t help.

Jammy Leeds

Plus the many chances they’ve missed.

Leicester will be wondering how they’ve blown this. Unreal.

agreenwood

Completely agree,no injury information given,bog standard meaningless answers.I gave up with them when Dyche was manager,lots of words but say nothing Whilst I agree that there’s little a manager can say after the season we’ve had that’ll sway any opinions of the job he’s doing, I’m not sure you ca...

Is there a particular part of what is said that you have taken exception to and, if so, what part? We’ve reached the point where some people are determined to take exception to all things BFC. I even saw a “missing” flyer on Twitterclarets yesterday for a player who had been injured since Christmas...

agreenwood

We know he’s injured and probably won’t be back till late this year.

Not sure I need to know anything more. Not really any odds to me if it’s a break, ligament damage or something else.

agreenwood

I inferred from his words that he doesn’t think Benson has been good enough. His use of the word words “at this level” has given ammo to those who believe he has been unfairly overlooked, because he’s hardly played. I’m assuming Kompany also thinks certain levels need to be demonstrated in training,...

agreenwood

You can blame Kompany for lots of things this season, but not his 5-day old Radio Lancs interview being regurgitated as click bait for another discussion on a tired topic.

"In Antequera, I felt I could achieve something akin to Burnley because it's a community that lives and breathes football." Good luck taking Antequera and their 3000 fans into the Europa League Mike. That would be some feat. By the way, that’s the last time they’ll hear from him for the next few ye...

agreenwood

I’d imagine the producers and Sky would love to release it - everyone loves a car crash. First two chaotic seasons of “Sunderland Til I Die” were way more compelling than the latest season.

I guess it depends on whether Burnley have any say on whether it is released.

Fair play to him if he kept a straight face complaining about cheating given he wants his club to be let off scot free for cheating. Absolutely this. He was on Radio 5 on Friday night and his argument seemed to be that because their accounts were now in order, they shouldn’t be punished for a perio...

What were our stats like from set pieces under Dyche? I’m sure someone will know the answer. Whilst we seemed to have a reputation as a long ball set piece team, I don’t actually feel like we scored from that many. Everton seem far more dangerous from them under Dyche than we did. I don’t think we ...

Much better losing ten out of thirteen home games isn’t it? The first 7.5 years, yep. The last 18 months was arguably marginally better, but the comments on here after his final game were along similar lines to what’s been on here the last 48 hours - gutless players, tactical ineptitude, new manage...

agreenwood

Must admit for all our current struggles I don't miss watching Dycheball at all. I’d like to see him given a decent budget somewhere. It’s the only way we’ll find out if he’s wedded to this style of play or just a pragmatist. To be fair, our style did start to evolve in that European qualification ...

agreenwood

Low quality game, but Palace have had the better of it.

Not sure I get Sky punditry based around Palace adopting the “Red Bull” style of play, unless the suggestion is that McCarthy’s been preparing the team for the new manager whilst Roy’s been in hospital.

agreenwood

It's quite cathartic listening to this after such a crap performance, I find. One slightly annoying thing, Chris Boden's microphone, or maybe he just keeps moving away from it. I noticed it on the last episode, he fades out and then back in randomly and you miss a lot of what he's saying. I thought...

agreenwood

Good listen. I don’t always agree with everyone on it but all involved are certainly authentic. I’ll listen to it later today to kill a car journey. I’m moving on from Saturday after that. Tried to listen to another well know BFC post-game podcast first this morning, but turned it off when one of t...

See my post on the “shambles” thread. These are by and large very young players. I don’t blame them. Mistakes have been made with putting this squad together. They’ve not been set up to succeed.

agreenwood

Has he even played 10 games worth of minutes yet?

Way, way too early to write off such a young player.

agreenwood

He’d be taking over a Championship club. Why wouldn’t he wait for a decent, mid-tier Prem job to come up?

agreenwood

Personally don’t think the constant criticism of individual players is helpful and it’s probably unfair. There were ironic cheers when Ramsey completed a pass in the second half, just before he went off injured. How does that help a young player? The problem is the squad, not the individuals within ...

I said to someone today that you wouldn’t be surprised if the club are looking at ways to unpick to obligation to buy (if it’s true of course).

In for me. No question. I like the guy and he still has plenty of credit in the bank with me from such an enjoyable season last year.

That said, lessons clearly need to be learned. The naivety/arrogance that appears to have driven our recruitment last summer, cannot ever be repeated.

If we all buy a T-Shirt, can you sort a decent microphone/computer for Chris Boden so it doesn’t sound like he’s nipping into another room halfway through every sentence?

Thought it was a good interview. Seems to be a feel of stability about the place if that Williams said was true.

Austrian Oliver Glasner set to replace him, with some sources saying he's already signed a deal. You’d imagine they’ll now wait a few days until after Roy leaves hospital and announce the sacking then. All a bit shitty really for a guy who keeps coming back to help them out of a hole. It’s got Glas...
