Clough & Porter take Blades through 21:02 - Nov 10 with 1480 views | davram | One of Nigel's many rejected Derby strikers is doing the biz for him now - Porter's penalty has put the Blades into FA Cup round 2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24782195 Hmmm...we could yet be playing either Burton Albion or Sheff. United in the Third Round.... | | | | |

I have noticed since Mac took over the team looks a lot fitter than they were under Clough, tactics are far better, use of substitutes are far better & general feel good factor is much improved throughout the whole squad! Proves so far & there's a long way to go yet, but we were going nowhere under Clough but mid table obscurity every season, best decision Sam Rush has made getting Clough out IMHO!!!! | | | |
Clough & Porter take Blades through on 18:40 - Nov 12 with 1435 views | davram | Yep, good signs, for the future, Rabb - and the positive feeling seems to be transmitting to supporters that have seen recent Rams games, too. Funny how the reactionary "Clough protest" bleatings here & elsewhere seem to have faded of late. Some of the armchair critics even seem to be returning to PPS. Some fans often say & threaten to do things that makes them look a bit silly soon enough afterwards - then the real world takes over. Takes all sorts, everyone has their own views! | | | |
Clough & Porter take Blades through on 19:53 - Nov 12 with 1433 views | Rabbram10 | I have to be honest Dav & admit I was never fully in the Clough camp even from the off & as the seasons went by I was feeling myself getting sadly depressed with Cloughs after match crap he talked, I'm for one glad he's gone, time to move onwards & hopefully upwards, we will see!!!! | | | |
Clough & Porter take Blades through on 09:19 - Nov 13 with 1423 views | davram | You're being a bit harsh on Nigel concerning his "after-match" interviews, I'd say. There are only about twenty stock phrases that most football managers use to summarise any game and their team's performances. I say "most" managers - if you want a really nauseating experience, click on to any one of Wee Billy's post-match prattlings; his vocabulary & repertoire extends to about four sentences at most: "There's a very long way to go" "There's a lot of work to be done yet" "We're working very very hard" "We're working very very hard" Oh - sorry - that was only three, but that's about it.... | | | |
