Warnock is the reason I hate Sheffield United almost as much as Derby.
He's a complete arrogant prat who throws his toys out the pram when he doesn't get his own way.

Warnock is a prat. Although i have a very biased opinion because one of my first ever Forest games was against sheffield and Johno broke his leg and being in A block i quickly learned not to like Warnock. I have to say though that i think him and Jose are quite similiar in that there is always an excuse and a hissy fit if they lose. Though if either of them coached my team I would probably be singing a very different song. I am just lucky that in my years of supporting Liverpool we have had gentlemen managers.

The task ahead for you is to stay up. Can you and your team do it? With a few asute signings (particularly at the back) yes. Without any changes we do have the ability to "do a sunderland" but even then with warnock in charge we wont show the same lack of passion that has, at times, been shown by their squad. two centre backs, a right back, a left sided midfielder and a quality striker and i have no doubts that we will stay up. but then, with a rumoured £10mil to spend, warnock may opt to buy all the strikers in the football league ;D

Where the bloody hell has £10 million come from? £20+ million revenue per season in the prem + one of the richest boards (if not the richest) in the championship, who are willing to spend. WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE, WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE ;D

See my other posts I will be proud to see my local team back playing in the top league in britain and (in my opinion) the most exciting league in the world. Even if we lose every match, id rather see us do that in the premiership than finish midtable in the championship AGAIN! Its taken us 12 years but we've done it!

Neil Warnock = Legend!! Seeing the leeds score flash up in dixons (confirming we were up) and hearing half the shop cheer will stick with me, this means so much to half of Sheffield! (the better half obviously ) Even if we lose every match next season ill be proud bring on warnock vs mourhinio ;D You mean around one third of Sheffield. The Blue and White two thirds are not too happy.

WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE, WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE ;D The dislike of Warnock has nothing to do with Notts. Notts has no effect on Forest fans about anything. There's no local rivallry whatsoever. He's disliked by Forest fans in the same way he is by Derby or Leic fans. I've a good mate who is a Sheff U fan so I'm happy for him that he'll be watching EPL next season. I do however think you'll continue the trend of the last two seasons of a team wearing red and white stripes going down. Where you get your financial figures I do not know. Your board is diversifying and has casino proposals and has a set-up in China. But you don't have lots of cash. Congratulations though.

Teams that go up get £20million so as to where they are getting there money from is there!!! Get your facts right!! Just like West Ham last year, £30million if you win the play-offs!!

Just out of question, was you even a football fan when Sheffield United were last in the top flight? Forget the Premiership. Come and join us in League One instead ;D 'You're going down with the Reading, the Championship is upside down'

You mean around one third of Sheffield. The Blue and White two thirds are not too happy. Wednesday have an average attendance of 24853 and united have an average attendance of 23492. Last time i checked, that wasnt as massive a difference as you suggest I believe we still have a Chinese multi-millionare on the board from the desun years, so I don’t think its unfair to say that we do have some cash. The £10million figure was, as I said, a rumour. The financial benefits of being promoted to the prem are fairly well accepted figures. Just out of question, was you even a football fan when Sheffield United were last in the top flight? What has that got to do with the price of fish.... No i havnt supported football all my life, i was brought up with ice hockey as my choice sport. As you well know. So what? Were you a panthers fan when they last won a cup? its simply not relevant is it. UTB ;D p.s. Armstrong for england

I'd like to bet if the boot was on the other foot Wednesday would be close on selling out Hillsbrough every game. Oh dear!

I hate to stick up for United but the glory days (if you can call them that) have been with the blue and white side of the city of Sheffield so the support is still stronger with the Owls. As the Blades haven't really done anything in the past their attendances aren't as good as Wednesday, but due to the last couple of seasons, new interest in fans has been generated by United and attendances are creeping their way up slowly. I think I'm right in saying that anyway

Well on www.sufc.co.uk today: Sheffield United's box office staff welcomed another 1,600 season ticket holders to Bramall Lane in one day! A fantastic 1,600 enthusiastic Blades fans signed up as season ticket holders on Monday to guarantee their seat to watch Premiership football next season. They have already sold 15,000 tickets for next season smashing last years 14,000 total!

I'd like to bet if the boot was on the other foot Wednesday would be close on selling out Hillsbrough every game. Oh dear! What DaveE said pretty much covers this. Only things id like to point out are: 1. We ARE near enough selling out our games. Selling out bramall lane is considerably more difficult than you would expect due to FA restrictions (due to some idiots firing flares at wednesday fans a few years back, which are thankfully getting lifted at the end of this season mean that you pretty much need a gold plated invitation from the pope to sit in some parts of the ground 2. How are we supposed to compete with advertising like this?! (pinched from www.unitedite.org.uk)
