His Royal Dryness, The Duke of Cork

It's finally over, but typical Blades leave me hungry for more. For most of the game they only coasted and Swansea played the better football. Kenny was back to his old self with some fine saves. A marvellous move by the ever-impressive Little resulted in a cracking goal for Creswell. Before the game, in the Small County Pub (SCP) we enjoyed our beer in the sunshine and considered staying there. At half time we wished we had. At full time we were glad we hadn't. All eyes turn to Monday now.... Blades 2 - 0 Swansea (Blog submitted from the tram)

My friend commented that the first half on Saturday had a feel of a testimonial. He was right. I'd commented in the first half that I felt like a neutral. Only the ever-impressvie Glenn Little gave us anything to be happy about. Early in the second half he broke through the middle and delivered a perfectly weighted ball for Cresswell to crash home right-footed. Here's how the BBC reported on it :- "The winner came when Glenn Little's right-wing cross found Cresswell, who put it in the top corner from 12 yards." Makes you wonder if they'd had enough and went at half time.... Anyway, one more game left to blog this season. One more game of any importance left this season. Need to find a chant for Glenn Little: he's the best player and doesn't get anything sung for his efforts and skill. Blades 1 - 0 Coventry? (I can barely remember)

Or rather :- Little: good. Comes off late substitute. A frustrating game, which I thought the Blades deserved to win. We saw the full range of skills from most players: from their poor skills all the way up to their average skills. I thought the ref was terrible and the ultimate insult was that a Blades player was sent off in a game which had very little derby nastiness. He didn't give us a couple of penalties and let all kinds of challenges slide in the centre of the park. Why Glen Little hasn't started more games is a complete mystery to me and probably to him. He looked a class above everyone else on the pitch. Only made two errors and probably had 80% of the Blades possession. I'm hoping with the bulk of my readership in the country, that maybe they might chip in with a blog of their own, although that may be a busman's holiday ;-) Blades 0 - 0 Dingles
