Bad Kompany - Burnley Recap
Ben and Andrew discuss United's latest home hammering as Burnley exploit the Blades' terrible defence while also showing us what a competent goalkeeper looks like in the other net. We talk about a bad day for Vini Souza, what on earth to do with Ivo Grbic, and whether we're seeing any green shoots from Wilder's return before his 20th game in charge this season.

Brewster's Millions - Points Deduction reaction, Burnley Preview
Ben and Andrew get stuck into the latest bit of bad news concerning Sheffield United, as the club receives a points deduction ahead of next season over late payments for players. We talk about what it means on and off the field. Plus, a look ahead to the big game with Burnley this weekend. I was saying Boo-erge.

We Don't Talk About Ivo - Chelsea Recap
An excellent performance from the Blades who hold Chelsea's pricey side to a 2-2 draw. Ben and Andrew reflect on the game with particular focus on the strides taken by Oli Arblaster, Ben Osborn playing for a new deal, and Ivo Grbic already possibly playing for his place.

10 Things We Want To See Before The End Of The Season
With the Blades taking a breather for a few weeks, Ben and Andrew cook up 10 (realistic) things they'd like to see from Sheffield United for the rest of this season. Can we ruin someone else's season? Will Will break his duck? And can someone "do a Ramsdale"?

Customer Reviews
Highly Recommended - Best Blades content available
I’ve listened to every single BladesPod for the last 4 seasons and Ben & Andrew keep me sane!
Through the ups and downs they remain level headed, informative and highly entertaining - which is no mean feat when following a team like the Blades.
Highly recommended for all Blades!
Great biased but unbiased pod
As someone living abroad feeding off scraps of SUFC news, I thought I’d give a pod a go. Really enjoy the fair analysis, United updates and good level of banter. Much appreciated gents.
Blades pod
It’s a must for any Blades fan. Really good, fair and reasonable analysis. Ben tries to be positive whenever possible and dare I say Andrew is slightly more downbeat, much like myself! Good fun and the hosts seem like really decent guys.
