Just don't attack ours

Our defence is so good we have exactly zero clean sheets in the league so far this season!!! Still we have only conceded 1 goal in six of our games and we have only failed to score once!! By the time we play you we should have Forestieri and Hooper back up front, so lets hope its your defence that will need to worry!!

Well I concede that one is certainly non-descript!!! But I think its unfair to call the blue half team non-descript, after all since you won your last trophy we have won one League Cup, been runners-up in the FA Cup and League Cup, reached 4 FA Cup semis and one League cup semi and finished 3rd in the league along with 7 top ten finishes. Not too shabby for a non-descript team!!!

I'll give you famous for cutlery, in fact when we won the FA Cup in 1935 the rather posh southern radio commentator pointedly said when we scored "With that goal everyone in Sheffield will be giving each other a pocket knife!!". The pollution comment I would absolutely refute though - Sheffield has been voted the greenest and cleanest industrial city in Europe a few times, in fact it has over 600 official parks, more than most other cities, you need to get out of "Birmingham" and visit it sometime!!!

Where are you living? Have you considered buying the iFollow package through the WBA website? Its $140 for the entire season and for that you get free HD streaming of every WBA league game apart from the ones that are live on Sky, where usually you can pick it up through a different source depending on who shows the games in your country. I bought the SWFC one a few seasons back when it was just commentary but since it went to live streaming its a much better service.

I'm in France mate, appreciate the suggestion, but I can't afford it.

Don't mention that '35 Final, Charlie - I couldn't go 'cos my son was getting married.

Not surprised about "the greenest". Back in the 80s you could get to anywhere in Sheffield by public transport for 10p. That's the way forward, and I can't see why every big Town or City didn't follow suit. Is it still happening (for say 30p) in South Yorks?

Absolutely no idea!! Haven't been on a bus in Sheffield for over 20 years, but I seem to remember that fares rose quite a bit after deregulation and other bus companies were allowed to operate routes.
