I write a blog, mainly about Sheffield United
Sheffield Utd1 - 0Burnley
After a year away from being at The Lane, to just be back in the stadium seeing United play again was a joy, despite getting relegated and not winning until January. A reminder that football can be a joyous thing.
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd0 - 1Birmingham
We've waited a year and a half to be back in stadiums, and then United serve up a lacklustre performance whilst I got COVID at this game.
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd1 - 0Carlisle
Rhian Brewster scores his first goal in a Blades shirt a year after joining us. Suffice to say, he probably would have liked to have scored it in front of a full Bramall Lane rather than in front of two stands.
Sheffield Utd6 - 2Peterborough
The day when it looked like Slav ball would bring us back to the promised land. MGW played like something we'd never seen before, alongside the emergence of a young talent called Iliman Ndiaye

Hull City1 - 3Sheffield UtdTwo goals from a set piece? Were we feeling ok?
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd2 - 2Southampton
A humdinger of a cup match that saw Wes Foderingham make a sublime save to keep us in it. Oli McBurnie also scored a rare goal.

Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd2 - 0Bristol City
The snowiest game I've ever seen at The Lane, and Hecky gets his first win as permanent United manager
Sheffield UtdPreston2 - 2Sheffield UtdThe quintessential 'typical yoonited' performance, going 2-0 up, Preston having a man sent off, and coming away with a draw.
Peterborough0 - 2Sheffield UtdBILLY SHARP
Sheffield UtdBirmingham1 - 2Sheffield UtdJayden Bogle's finest goal in a red and white shirt? We scored a lot of very good goals this season, in hindsight.
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd2 - 0West Brom
Billy Sharp rounding off a sublime pass and move effort. Heckyball at its finest?
Sheffield Utd
Huddersfield0 - 0Sheffield UtdBest remembered for Huddersfield's keeper having an absolute barnstormer of a game against us.
HuddersfieldSheffield Utd4 - 0Swansea
A remarkable goal from a remarkable player. We still think about you all the time, George.
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd4 - 1Middlesbrough
The return of Wilder to The Lane saw a raucous atmosphere smash any hopes that Boro had of reaching the play offs to smithereens. Perhaps MGW's finest hour in a Blades shirt, with his jumping back heel one of the most underrated 'class' goals to be scored at The Lane.
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd2 - 0BarnsleyMcBurnie played a stonker of a through ball for MGW's goal in this game. Probably the best thing he'd done for the club since 2020 at this point in his Blades career
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd0 - 0Bournemouth
The chance that would define Filip Uremovic's short United career
Bristol City1 - 1Sheffield UtdA sublime goal from MGW, wonder what's happened to him since?
Sheffield Utd
Sheffield Utd4 - 0Fulham
Did what we needed to do, and then some to secure a seat in the play offs
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd1 - 2Nott'm Forest
The late Berge goal really covered up what was a shocking performance from United.

Sheffield Utd2 - 0Millwall
The first inkling that this might be a massive season for Ndiaye. Those little hints would definitely be needed by the seasons end.
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd2 - 1Sunderland
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd3 - 0Blackburn
Two standout moments of brilliance in this game. Norwood's free kick (our first free kick for a dead ball in nearly 3 years) and a sumptuous goal to settle the contest from the mercurial Iliman Ndiaye
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd4 - 0Reading
A first real hint that this season could be something massive for United.
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd3 - 3Blackpool
A humdinger of a contest that saw me flipping off the Blackpool away end when Norwood scored the late, late equaliser.
Sheffield UtdSheffield Utd2 - 2Norwich
There really is nothing like a comeback at Bramall Lane when the crowd is on it.
Sheffield UtdWest Brom0 - 2Sheffield UtdSheffield UtdSheffield Utd5 - 2BurnleyAnother reminder of what The Lane can be like at full flow. An outstanding performance against a team that rolled over so many before and after they played us. The perfect day at Bramall Lane.
