Just to allow a moment of gloating...when we started to hit form last autumn, it was infuriating that no matter how well we were playing ourselves, we just didn't seem to be able to reel in two of the teams at the top - Cheltenham and Crawley - who kept winning game after game themselves. If you had told me back then that we would finish top, and that both Cheltenham and Crawley would stay down, I'm not sure I'd have believed you. Marathon, not a sprint, etc. etc.
'cuse my ignorance but did Crawley not go up? |

I think this is a rather literal example of the way that everyone's feelings towards Crawley have followed Evans to Rotherham. |

It is of course possible that he had a couple of off games. You don't get voted in the team of the year for nothing, and I saw enough in the home game v Cheltenham to be quite excited at the prospect of him joining.

It's been a long day. Ignore me! I think I was indeed thinking about Evans.  |

Brilliant job Steve Davies has done there. I didn't realise they were 19th when he took over in November. That's one hell of a run to end up being promoted. Good to see a team full of home grown youngsters as well.

Yates's post-match interview - "On another day we would have won." I guess that's the same day that they're the best team in the league.  |

Yeah but it's the good old 'on our day' comment isn't it.
It's not as if the bloke was banging on about how fucking great they were.

It's 12 years since we last played Sheffield United My abiding memories of the Blades' visits in the late 90's championsip years, were a comedy OG winner in front of the TE by David Holdsworth...and a packed Bank of Blades' fans being the only visitors to get excited by the Robinettes. Are birds in Sheffield particularly grim? |
