    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.

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

    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

  5. Formline 2.12 – "A ‘Lose-Lose Derby’? Not a bit of it, as Blades batter Sheffield Wednesday..."

    Formline 2.12 – "A ‘Lose-Lose Derby’? Not a bit of it, as Blades batter Sheffield Wednesday..."

    Well that was easy… Sam and Riley pick apart a derby that United won at a canter — from the slow, almost surreal rhythm of the match to the sense of inevitability that settled in long before the third goal. It was probably the calmest derby in living memory, a game where everyone had time to stand out, and we were left wondering whether anyone actually wanted the referee to blow early. It won’t always be like this, so let’s enjoy it… Get full access to The Pinch at www.thepinch.uk/subscribe

    Formline 2.11 – "BLADES BY NUMBERS: there's a new data dashboard on The Pinch and here are the stories behind those stats..."

    To mark the launch of Blades by Numbers, a new interactive Sheffield United data dashboard, The Pinch dives into what the numbers can tell us — and what they can’t. Sam Taylor and Riley Roberts talk xG, performance patterns, and how data can deepen rather than deaden our love of football. Get full access to The Pinch at www.thepinch.uk/subscribe

    HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE #4 | Marc Webster

    What’s been most enjoyable about these podcasts so far is how each guest – and the three images they bring – has taken the conversation down its own unexpected alley. In this episode of Hang It in the Louvre, the Pinch team welcome Marc Webster — one half of the Tufty Club — to nominate his three most iconic Sheffield United images. From Bobby Davison’s derby-day triumph to David McGoldrick’s powerful anti-racism stance and the cursed Lundstram toe, we have a simply superb chinwag.

    Formline 2.10 – "Emergency pod ... as in, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!"

    Gah! Another mad and maddening defeat. This time against a Derby side who were gifted three goals. Sam, David and Riley briefly chat through the loss to Derby before getting into the good (and bad) stuff. Inspired by Riley’s piece a little while back, we look at the metrics that tend to point towards success in the Championship. How are Blades doing in those? Listen to find out (it’s not all bad).
