    HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE #7 | Sam Parry

    This episode of Hang It in the Louvre is a little different. For the first time, one of The Pinch’s own curators takes the guest chair. Sam nominates three images that have stayed with him across decades of following Sheffield United — from the joy of a rare Premier League away win at Luton, to the devastation of Wembley, and finally to a moment of pure connection between players and fans during the Wilder era. A reflective, emotional look at why football images linger long after the final whistle. Get full access to The Pinch at www.thepinch.uk/subscribe

    Formline 2.14 – "Roll out the red carpet, it's the Pinch Mid-Season Awards..."

    It’s the most glamorous time of the year. Forget the Oscars — this is The Pinch mid-season awards. With Sheffield United’s campaign lurching from chaos to cautious optimism, we decided to take stock the only way we know how: by arguing our way through best goals, worst goals, MVPs, young standouts, signings, performances, managerial ratings and an overall grade for the season so far. There are crackers, calamities, comical own goals, a few consensus winners — and plenty of disagreement along the way. If nothing else, it’s an honest snapshot of a season that’s been as strange as it’s been compelling for Sheffield United. Get full access to The Pinch at www.thepinch.uk/subscribe

    Formline 2.13 – "New Year, Not-So-New United? Taking stock of festive fixtures in what is now a sustained spell of play-off level performances..."

    Nine points from four games, (mostly) good performances, and underlying numbers that hint at a cheerful 2026. Oh, and some transfer chat.... Get full access to The Pinch at www.thepinch.uk/subscribe

    HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE #6 | Kate Burlaga

    Welcome to Hang It In The Louvre by The Pinch Podcast — the show where Sheffield United supporters choose the images that define their relationship with the Blades. Each guest brings three pictures: moments of joy, pain, beauty or absurdity. We decide which one deserves a permanent place in our ever-growing Pinch Football Wing — and which ones are destined to be torn up forever. This time, we’re joined by Sky Sports journalist and lifelong Blade Kate Burlaga, whose selections span empty streets in lockdown, the trauma of play-off defeat, and one of the most joyous days this side of the city has seen.

    Formline 2.13 – "Four wins, one gut punch, and is that a play-off pulse?...”

    The last Formline pod of 2025… Huge thanks to everyone who listens to The Pinch Podcast. We’ve had a blast this year talking tactics, stats and performances — and we were delighted that this pod made the final shortlist for the Football Supporter’s Association awards for ‘best podcast’. In this episode, it was great to talk about an incredibly positive period in a season that once looked dead and buried. Riley was recording from outdoors, so apologies if anyone notices a little crackle down the line. We’ll be back at early in the new year, and fingers crossed we’re talking about another incredible formline. Oh, and there will be one more Hang it in the Louvre pod next week. Watch out for that!

    HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE #5 | Caty Murray

    Caty Murray joins us to nominate the three Sheffield United images that have shaped her life as a fan. She takes us from the joy of Rob Hulse’s opening-day header to the feverish excitement of Sander Berge’s arrival — and finally, the stark pain of Newcastle’s 8–0 at Bramall Lane. A warm, funny, and nostalgic episode about first heroes, shared trauma, and how Blades history lodges itself in the memory. Get full access to The Pinch at www.thepinch.uk/subscribe
