One of my favorite derbies to watch as a neutral and I'm not sure why. I've got no dog in the fight but invariably I find it really engaging. More so than Liverpool, Birmingham etc. The only one which comes close for me is Bristol bit that's only cause I lived there.
Hate Wednesday but like their kit

Yorkshire police obviously capable of policing a proper Derby,not like the clueless social workers at the Sussex filth.

Are you Brighton in disguise? The Blades have Duffy, Stevens & Baldock (George, Sam's brother) on the pitch.

Blades CM Duffy looks a very good player, creative, much of the play going through him.

He does. Conversely, Morgan Fox looks utter shite and like a rabbit in the headlights.

Agree, we’re laughing at how awful Fox is playing.
Ross Wallace comes across as a wnkr.
Ross Wallace is and always has been a total prick.

I can’t remember, but my son remembers him as an annoying punchable squirt from the play off second leg May 16.

Take a look at Owlstalk. To be fair there are many comments along the lines of SYP being the only police force in the country that can’t control a derby match properly. A Utd fan on there described what happened to their lot at Hillsborough in September ie kettled and not allowed up to the ground until 25 minutes after KO. Sounds familiar.

Such a dull atmosphere, Massive fans all over twitter mocking our rivalry with palace. But least we made noise...

In the series of documentaries about football trouble, even putting the H’boro Disaster to one side, SYP were universally mentioned as the worst force, enjoying in brutality and over the top policing.
That’s the kit we wore when I started watching the Albion. I knew nothing of the stripes then.
He thinks he's Maradona but the only similarities are that he's short, he's mouthy, he cheats and he's a ****.
