Sheffield United have accumulated 1 (one) point through 10 premier league games this season.



They spent the summer after being promoted selling all their best players and not replacing them so the outlook for the season is bleak to say the least. They have scored the fewest goals and conceded the most of anyone in the league so far (7 scored, 29 conceded)

The premier league record for lowest points in a season is 11 points, by Derby County in 2007/08. This is them celebrating their sole win of the season against Newcastle:


Derby 07/08 also hold the record for fewest goals scored (20) and most goals conceded in a 38 game season (89). More than one record up for grabs.

The football league record for lowest points in a season is 8 points, jointly held by Doncaster Rovers (1904/05) and Loughborough (1899/00). Both in the second division and back when you only got two points for a win so they were extra poo poo.

This is a season ticket from that Donny Rovers season. You would imagine H. White did not renew the following year, but he did get to see his team win 3 games, two more than Derby managed.

This thread will serve as a record of Sheffield United's efforts to break a premier league record and is for all fans who want to cheer on a side on course to achieve footballing immortality. It is not a mean-spirited thread but rather an attempt to find some joy in watching a side who've been hollowed out and whose owners are happy to just take the premier league money and go back down without making a go of it

How many points will the Blades get? What will their final goal difference be? Can they go a full season without a win? We shall see

I predict 9 points, breaking Derby's record but not quite giving us an all-time record for worst English team ever.

Ending the match with four times as many points as you started it? It's a big ask, but if they can keep that up then 72,057,594,037,927,900 points are on the table.

You are confusing him with Branislav Ivanovic

edit: was looking up something on his wiki page and :stare:

quote:

Looking back on the beginning of the player's accomplished career, OFK Beograd's general manager Zvezdan Terzić, who signed Ivanović at age nineteen from the lower-league FK Srem, stated:

"I noticed him in Sremska Mitrovica, witnessing physical dispositions no other white footballer had. The way he jumped, the way he guarded the ball, his sheer physical power, his step, and initial speed, I had only seen black players with such abilities before. He was a traditional healthy peasant child. He didn't have much footballing ability and awareness yet, but we gave him time and he eventually became a great player".

Googled "Branislav Ivanovic bum pics" and he's got a nice bum.

But I googled "Scott Parker bum pics" and let me first tell you, his bum is unappreciated. But secondly, his cardigans!!! My god the man can rock a cardigan his Mum bought him. Like James Bond with a Horlicks and a game of Cluedo. I'm already picking out my Christmas slippers.
