[ClaretTony]

And Gordon will be suspended next Saturday if he gets a yellow card

[agreenwood]

The 3 promoted teams from the championship have played 16 games between them and have yet to register a win.

True, but the other two have played a more mixed bag of fixtures than us. Four of our five games have been against sides that may well end up in the top 8, if not top 6.

[4midable]

It’s a penalty all day long

Only not given cos they are 3 up

[mkmel]

I think they have to lose by six.
If they only lose by five they'd still be above us on goals scored.

Ok, they lose by 6 goals then

[Goody1975]

In open play, the gaps between Sheffield United's forward- midfield-defence are massive, very similar to us in the early games.

Top teams will find this space all day long and punish you.

[taio]

0-4

[4midable]

3 assists tripps

[JimmyRobbo]

Tripps with another fantastic dellivery.

Let's have 2 more.

[taio]

0-5

[claptrappers_union]

Warnocks available

[taio]

Gordon has been superb

[RVclaret]

For a more defensive minded team, Sheff’s defence has looked way worse than ours today. They’ve been horrendous.

[Goody1975]

Two massive games coming up for Sheffield United, both away at West Ham and Fulham.

They are followed by Man Utd (home) and Arsenal (away).

[taio]

0-6

[Swizzlestick]

Oh wow, this is a humiliation. Battered.

[Commy]

We are off the bottom

[JimmyRobbo]

6th. Right through the middle.

Does that get us off the foot?

[ElectroClaret]

And still around half an hour left with added time.
Might be a few more.

[Conroysleftfoot]

I don't like Sheff Utd but this is embarrasing.















don

[RVclaret]

Absolutely dreadful from Sheff.

[kentonclaret]

Newcastle bringing on 3 local lads

[Rileybobs]

The gap in standard between the Premier League and Championship is looking much bigger than ever.

[Colburn_Claret]

We shouldn't really compare ourselves until we play them, but our football is light years ahead of Sheffield.
I've seen positives in every game this season, and improvement every game, but they look dross.

Not surprised there ate so many empty seats already.

[Vegas Claret]

anyone else not looking forward to playing Newcastle ? lol

[taio]

0-7

[TheFamilyCat]

The gap in standard between the Premier League and Championship is looking much bigger than ever.

But then remember that Sheffield were so close to winning at Spurs last week.

[agreenwood]

anyone else not looking forward to playing Newcastle ? lol

They are clearly a strong side and it’ll be a struggle, but Sheff U have been dreadful.

[Rileybobs]

Lots of lols. I mean we’ll probably get pumped next weekend but this is like when a PL side goes to a National League side in the FA cup.

[JimmyRobbo]

7.

I hope they don't sack PH.

[RVclaret]

I’m holding onto the hope they don’t rest many against City on Wednesday, while also having another eye on PSG a few days later.

Oh and the fact we’ve been playing pretty well in the past couple!

[ElectroClaret]

We shouldn't really compare ourselves until we play them, but our football is light years ahead of Sheffield.

Yes.
Our display last night would have easily disposed of them.

[claptrappers_union]

Sheffield United are frighteningly bad

[TheFamilyCat]

Seven different scorers. Can’t happen often.

[Commy]

They should really have been battered by Man City as well. City missed loads of what they would call sitters. What's happened to their strong defence?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Let’s hope newcastle get there goals out there system now

[Rileybobs]

Yes.
Our display last night would have easily disposed of them.

I wouldn’t be so sure. We look a better footballing side than them, like we did last season, but they still gave us two very tough games last season (the sending off aided us hugely at home). There won’t be much between the teams come the end of the season and I’m expecting two very tough games against them.

My thoughts, pretty much exactly.

[ClaretTony]

I suspect this will be the end for Heckingbottom

Difficult to compare us given how different our football is but I suspect there won’t be much between us.

[Rileybobs]

A return for Wilder?

[bfcjg]

What is impressive is that Newcastle are still fighting for every ball.

[taio]

0-8

[Granny WeatherWax]

When was the last season went into October with the 3 promoted clubs the bottom 3 with the 3 worse goal differences.

[taio]

Great assist

[Goalposts]

Eight wow, its a total disintegration from Sheff utd

[Rileybobs]

Wonder if the correct amount of time will be added on or whether the officials will make their own rules up.

I suspect the latter!

[RVclaret]

Well I’m glad Isak bagged as I’m not sure I’d have dealt well with seeing him get 1 point in my FPL in a 7-0 game

[Rileybobs]

I suspect the latter!

Yep. Which would be a complete joke considering there’s a couple more goals in this if they add 6-7 minutes on.

[Rileybobs]

6 mins apparently. Fair enough.
