DEM Blades fanzine

🔁 Swapped accts w/ @ThePinchNews After a decade of tweeting about the fanzine, Paul Coutts, and Ben Osborn, the grind of Twitter has caught up with me. No longer posting as frequently, nor as "I". Fanzine will be back though. 🔜🔝 Personal 👉 @sam__joseph

Shortlisted again for @WeAreTheFSA Awards. Four years in a row. This time for the pod. Ridiculous really. Big night incoming. If supporting the Blades has taught us anything, it’s managing expectations. Thanks to everyone who listens - means a lot!

@HalTheBlade Depends on what deductions certain teams get. Leicester could be favs if they have no deduction (all this talk but it's not here yet). Squadwise. The worst XIs are Wednesday and Wrexham by a mile. One of them will probably buy their way out of trouble... t'other is Wednesday.

🤔 Give me your Championship 2025/26 early predictions for: ⬆️ Top 6 ⬇️ Bottom 3

🚨DEM Blades back at it... It's been a long while since we've done a fanzine. But we've got the itch again. If you'd like a blank page to write words or draw pictures, drop @ThePinchNews a message.

🚨NEW POD🚨 Previewing Sheffield United 🆚 Sheffield W*dnesday. The big question: Does form go out the window? podfollow.com/the-pinch-podc…

The cost of a pint or a coffee that’s gone in 10 minutes. Absolute quality the level of detail & background makes each article a must read or listen. Thank you gentlemen & keep up the good work 🙏🏼⚽️⚔️❤️

@wit_xx To be fair, not sure the final paragraph is true. Sentiment is though.

lost 2 all season 5th in the league after 11 games and a two point deduction conceded 3 in 8 games Same wankers who sit on their hands at the lane and make no noise are the ones shouting loudest tonight

@tufty_club @HalTheBlade Makes you think

@HalTheBlade Some mad stuff being bandied about, but Captain Conspiracy moaning that O’Hare didn’t get his head on a cross that led to a goal a second later is surely the prime idiocy

For years I've heard people say 'don't care who scores so long as we win' Now that's being put to the test and it turns out many of you do! We're unbeaten. It won't last forever but enjoy it. -2 otherwise we'd be top of the bastard league

If you haven't read it #twitterblades, can I recommend the free Weekend Notes newsletter from @NTT20Pod? A snappy breakdown of the EFL weekend. Also, when the chance arises, nothing will stop me talking about Blades clean sheets and Michael Cooper. ntt20.com

Bit on Gus Hamer from @rileyjroberts in this: 🔴21 shots this season with 1.08 xG 🔴21 shots returned 4 goals (44% of Blades' total) 🔴Chance of scoring 4+ goals from those shots = 2% 🔴Cumulative xG of shots leading to goals = 0.4 🔴Chance of all four resulting in goals = 0.06%

POD POD POD🎙️| "The table never lies... or does it?" ➡️ Truths and Lies of the Championship table ➡️ How sustainable is Hamer's form? ➡️ Pompey preview Listen to Formline with: @DemBladesDavid @sam__joseph @rileyjroberts thepinch.uk/p/formline-107…

I wrote this for @NTT20Pod. It starts at around 6pm on Feb 3 2024 – Blades concede a fourth against Villa. Fast forward to a strong start in the Champ. The 'P' word creeps in. My PL fear isn't that 𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 bad, but that the pyramid really is broken. ntt20.com/p/english-foot…

@webding @ThePinchNews @sam__joseph The last fart of someone sick of "Work smarter, not harder" blue-ticked bots. Nope. There's another.

@DEM_Blades @ThePinchNews @sam__joseph Who the hell said that?
