Massive statement from United. I thought they would drop points, and they thrashed them. I dunno how things get pinned on here. But I'd be fine if this got a pinned until the end of the season. Good thread. Even though it was kind of why I created the "General Football Thread". But for a rival watch in the run in. Would be good to pin this.
OMG!! Yes!! What a kick in the balls! United needed a gut punch like that. How will they respond? We keep coming back from that, I think United have been too solid to have to.
I can't believe that. I was so sure Villa could get a result. I was thinking a 1 or 2-0 win. At the least, I was confident they could prevent them from winning. That unravelled so easily as they raced to a 3-0 lead. If there was any team in this league, I'd put last for losing a 3-0 lead. It would be Sheffield United. That is so great to see they can fold too.
It was Ming's who scored Villa's first goal. Maybe it wasn't such a terrible thing that he wasn't banned for this one!
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder told BBC Sport: "I never felt that was coming. I thought we looked really comfortable and the more likely side to score again. But this game is historically mad. Villa only turned up for the last eight minutes or so. And it was down to our individual errors that they got something. "Dean (Henderson) made an error for the first goal and you could see them get a spring in their step. "I look at the bigger picture and the way my team dominated his team. All the best players on that pitch were wearing yellow." A bit like when you were at CR a couple of weeks ago!!
