    Sat next to Norman Hunter on gantry at Elland Road so many times during my 15 years at the YP. Great bloke who loved Leeds United so much he'd bang the desk in frustration when something went wrong on the field. He hit it so hard one night my laptop bounced off and on to my lap.

    Chris Wilder has defended his Sheffield United players for celebrating their winner amid strengthened protocols to fight Covid-19. "How can they not? They are team-mates. I can't see any way they walk back to the halfway line and not show any emotion. It is an emotional game."

    Alex Smithies takes exception to Paul Heckingbottom applauding as his goal-kick flew straight out of play. Raced out of his area and two of the words aimed in PH direction were "fucking" and "dickhead". 1-1, 71 mins

    A penny for the thoughts of those who dismissed Sheffield United as long ball merchants (good morning to Danny Mills, Garth Crooks and a host of others...) after latest positive result for #twitterblades came via a 23-pass move for the equaliser at Spurs
    Anyone who wrote off Sheffield United as a direct, functional team might want to watch the goal...
