Slav Starts & Football's Coming Home, Happy Days

It took a while but as SUFC start to move forward with a new manager, we were finally ready to take a misty-eyed look back on the Chris Wilder years at Sheffield United - the state of the club when Wilder took over, the norms that he shattered while in charge, and how it felt being managed to success by one of our own. Thanks for listening - Ben and Andrew will be back in a couple of weeks. UTB!

The Chris Wilder Experience

Ben and Andrew give their thanks to the departing Simon Moore before giving a rating to every player in the squad for the completed 2020/21 season - the good, the bad, and the very ugly - including some fond words for Phil Jagielka bowing out as a Blade.

Ben and Andrew talk about the game, including how it felt to step back in Bramall Lane for the first time in 15 months, before revisiting our preseason predictions from way way back in the autumn (spoiler, we got some terribly wrong). Thank you as always for listening, and UTB!

Ben and Andrew discuss Dan Jebbison putting a smile on our faces with United's sixth win of the season, along with other recent Blades news (£40 tickets, you say?) before talking through some silver linings of relegation: no VAR, still no Sheffield derbies, but presumably a lot more goals and wins. Thanks for listening, and UTB!

Jebbison at Goodison & Silver Linings of Departing the Premier League

Ben and Andrew catch up on the Blades' 5th league win of the season, before attempting to select - and rank - the 10 most important players of the Chris Wilder era at Sheffield United. There's some healthy debate as we try to fit certain players into the top 10... which unfortunately means some well-loved names miss out. Find out who makes the cut, and who's the overall number 1, right here. Thanks for listening, and UTB!

The Top 10 Players Of The Chris Wilder Era

Wilder Out

Ben and Andrew discuss the home defeat to Southampton, including Che Adams' return and an almost legendarily-bad performance from a Blades midfielder. For the meat of this week's podcast, it's back to 2013 for our Memorable Match: Chris Morgan and David Unsworth form the hardest managerial pair possible, attempting to steer United from the wreckage of the Danny Wilson era and into the playoffs, starting with this dramatic 2-2 draw with Brentford. Perhaps better known as "the Keith Stroud game", it's a match that featured 11 yellows, 3 reds, and 4 penalties. Plus some fun facts about Dave Kitson's hair. Thanks as always for listening, and UTB!
