Hi Ben. Listened to the pod reguarly over the years. It's been a great way to stay engaged with Blades down here in New Zealand. Always enjoyed your balanced & thoughtful analysis. Thanks to you & Roy for all your efforts. Good luck with WoS & future endeavours. Best wishes to you & the family.

Thanks Roy. Appreciate your efforts. It's interesting that in the main, everyone is thoroughly pessimistic ....just like most of us!!

Looking down your list of potential departures, which will hit us hardest? Logic says Gus, but my god, i love what Cooper brings both in terms of his talent but also his personality/ attitude.

Fair point, do just wonder if the x factor, attitude etc may help him make it? Great that we are having these discussions about the youngsters, until your pod i didn't appreciate that we have one of the youngest squads in league.

Great work lads! That Femi goal difference stat blew my mind. For what it's worth.... I think Sydie Frederick Peck is the one going all the way, bucket loads talent, football iq, work rate, desire, ability to learn/improve & only 20! You never know, he might even add the odd goal to his repertoire!

An absolute gem! .... As a cricket-mad kid i got to see so many of my international cricketing heros in the annual Dutchess of Norfolk XI game! Thanks for sharing and bringing back the memories.

Cheers Roy. Particularly enjoyed Trusty being compared to a giraffe on LSD! Still cant believe we got $5-6m for him.... What a piece of business! Helped pay for Cooper and Burrows with change to spare!!

Agreed, real shame the official club channels aren't on here as well.

Any correlation between you not posting on here and Palace's uptick in form?

Only question would be Femi at r/b? Tough away game so Gilchrist probably the right call and can bring the more attacking full back on if required.

More proof, there are no easy games anymore.

Feel bad dwelling on this question when we should be talking about Cooper, Davies a big 3 points and being top of the league! 😁 UTB

Been giving this some thought, as you make a really good point we often overlook. Still feel we gave the ball away cheaply/switched off too often in 1st half. A lot of our mistakes felt like unforced errors rather than opposition pressure. Often our mistakes that put Sunderland on front foot??

I'm highly embarrassed to say, but to this date I've always wonder what the shout was at the end. I must have heard it hundreds of times growing up in the 90s... and i still don't have a clue aged 46!!
