I thought the Blades were a physical side, in this 0-0 derby game.

ELK, it’s just a poor team’s Manager and fans spouting, knowing they couldn’t beat us, that either label us physical or agricultural. 😁

Well they were right about Ogbene.

Lots of complaints about ref yesterday and being a premier league ref. Just realised he’s the 4th official at Spurs v Man City. Busy man

Just a wild theory, but maybe, possibly, during a medical whan a player joins a club they may make a record of how tall a player is, rather than relying on your rather bizarre theories of how tall player looks to you. Tony Towner wasn't 6 feet 3 inches, Hull isn't 6 feet 9.

By your own admission, you have never kicked a football in your life, so how come you think that you have such a vast knowledge of the game?

And Jon Taylor, still playing for Donnie, is 5 feet 11 inches tall.

I think being taller is an advantage if you are a cf, cd or a goalie but the most important thing.is you are good at your job. Viktor is not the tallest goalie but is a bloody good goalie, dick habbin, bobby williamson were not tall but were good cfs. Reg and pelts wasnt/ isnt that tall but both v good cbs.
We have also had tall players in those positions who have not been much good.

Gilbert Bos, Stuart Evans et al

I rest my case m'lud

I Hope against Blackpool we don’t blindly kick the ball over our shoulders as much and play some of the football on the ground like we did against Blackburn and Watford.

Enjoyed the game though and the result. They looked more skilful than us but seemed afraid to go at us.

The waygame was going I don’t think we had much choice in these over kicks but yes football on the ground is good especially for players like Washington
