Queens Park Razors hopefully taking the edge off. Sheff Utd vs QPR match thread

Must admit I'm ready and primed to be exasperated by Dembele right from KO today, I find him so frustrating. I'd play Smyth over him all day long.

It's a big call, but outcome bias will ultimately dictate whether it's seen as the right call I guess - a few big claims from crosses today will have us all saying what a bold and necessary decision it was.

But this, the Walsh fiasco plus the Kolli mystery does give me nagging concerns about what the vibe is behind the scenes, which could be important if we find ourselves struggling at the wrong end of the table this winter.

I dont know, maybe as supporters we make more of a meal out of this stuff than it deserves.

tl;dr I dont know 🤷‍♂️

My mates in Sheffield reckon this UKIP / counter demo is going to be quite big and quite aggy, so might be a lot of police around and potentially pubs shut.

I used to live in Sheffield and I don't remember the Star being this full of odd typos and grammatical errors!

"The protest is part of a “mass deportations tour” by UKIP, which is running on a proposal for a five-year freeze on all immigration and ‘the complete rejection of wokeness, trans-Ideology and to stop the persistent attack of the family unit’.

In response to the march, the Sheffield Communities against Racism and Fascism (SCARF) organisation - which was founded after the riots August 2024 like was seen outside the Holiday Inn Express in Manvers - and Stand Up to Racism are planning a counter protest"

I feel like only Sheffield could form an antifa group called SCARF. 😂

And is UKIP really protesting about the persistent attack "of the family unit?". I also didn't actually know UKIP was still a thing.

And wtf is going on with the grammar in that second paragraph?

This point has been made endlessly - that demanding that the manager throws players under the bus in official interviews and provides a detailed synopsis of what is said in the dressing room is neither likely nor advisable. If you want the warts and all exposĂŠ it's not coming from an interview with Tyler, wait for the autobiography.

I've pretty much left the main platforms too (although have enjoyed Letterboxd, which this very site drew my attention to). And that's been a good decision for me here and now. But ultimately the genie's not going back in to the bottle. And I have to cling on to the belief that in an alternative timeline social media isn't as toxic as it is in the here and now - that it's current incarnation is contingent on various things that are not inevitable: concentration of wealth with tech-bro oligarchs; culture wars being used to divide and distract; failing political classes, hopeless and nihilistic populaces etc. All of these are far from inevitable imo, and big factors in online spaces being such hellscapes

Twenty five vocalists from the MENA region. Charity single raising money for Palestine, translates as "we will return". It's been likened to an Arab "We Are The World"

Tunisia, rather than Middle East, but part of the soundtrack to the Arab Spring

And to insist that an act is non-political but also demand that people comply by performing that act is just an untenable position!

I do find it odd that people are so outraged by the idea that wearing a poppy is a politically symbolic act. I mean, view it as commendable, important, poignant etc by all means - but if we understand "political" to mean "relating to public affairs" then of course it has political meaning to it, Shirley.

But surely inviting a press which you are not able to play around results in booting it up the field under self-inflicted pressure anyway.

My assumption at this point is that Bould is doing defensive coaching over WebEx.

My sauces tell me that whilst the tides ebb and flow, at the most recent gathering of the "To Dick About Or Not Dick About" committee, "Dick About" had the numbers over the "Stop Dicking About" faction.

Southampton… How do we think we will line up?
at 08:41 5 Nov 2025

I'm thinking we are now entering the "actually, we may need to play three in midfield you know!" stage of the season. I'd go with:

Aunt Sally

RND
Mbengue
Morrison
Dunne

Field
Madsen
Varane / Hayden

Saito
Burrell
Smyth

I saw him DJ at an out door thing last year, he was the highlight of the day. Very eclectic, but big grooves all the way, great fun. And brilliant seeing someone DJing with 45s on a roster full of digital DJs playing tedious techno. Reminded me a bit of a Mr Scruff festival set back in the day.
