It may only be a game, but it would certainly be easier to play if we had a smiley - football... smiley - whistle

Sorry about Leicester. But if you think you've got problems - I support Bradford City, the well-known five-a-side team! smiley - wah

I think that most of the therapy available here comes in smiley - stiffdrink form. smiley - winkeye

But if your angst is football-related, you'll find some kindred spirits here. Me, for one... smiley - sadface

Ah well you see, us Blades learned financial discipline some years ago. We've got a good stadium with good support, a resonable team and not much in the way of debt. Sheffield United's most expensive ever signing was Don Hutchison for £1.2million about 6 years ago. We flogged him on for the same sort of money a couple of years later.

Our plan is to hold fire until Wednesday go belly up and then we will be a one football team city, much like Leeds smiley - smiley

*wakes up with a start*

Surely you would want to have a more ambitious goal than the footie equivalent of ethnic cleansing ? Being a sole club city isn't all it's cracked up to be you know - you should know on account of living in Brighton smiley - winkeye

Abi, can I just ask you directly: with less than four days to go to the big kick-off, is it looking likely that we might get our smiley - football Smiley?

Please? smiley - grovel
