I was at the sold out Sheffield Derby on sunday and the passion and the noise was unreal, more than 36,000 (would have been more if not for the police cutting out 3,000 seats) at Hillsborough and 9,000+ at bramall lane to watch it on a screen. This attendance puts half of the premier league to shame to say it was a division 3 match.

Parker England captain tonight.

Probably what I'd have done, Gerrard and Hart both had good shouts, but if Parker's playing 90 minutes and Gerrard isn't give it to Scotty.

LOL the bitters are out in force again, I see.

It's one thing to do it after getting beat by Fulham & Bolton, but to do it after they've won a trophy just makes you look sad.

Probably looking for good investment in Mayfair or Belgravia nothing more.

so it should be a bumper crowd for a local derby in a big place like Sheffield FFS !

little old Norwich City,carrot crunchers that we/they are managed 20000 + crowds even in the championship 2 - that's loyalty for you...

Megson gone.

Surely more in it than just football with them in 3rd and having just beaten United?

England get level with the game seemingly over ...brilliant!
We didn't have to wait long though for the feck-up factor to kick in did we?
Baines you're not made of cardboard, you are allowed to move. You are allowed to approach opposition players with a view to closing them down.
Still let's look at the positives.
I wish I had a quid for the number of times that has been said about England.
