When Pep was quoted as saying that he had learned something from watching Sheff Utd's performances, I can only assume that it was firmly " tongue in cheek ".
They work fucking hard for each other, but their tactics are fucking crude and downright thuggish ( if last night was a true reflection ) . If Mason had been anything but an utter cnut , Besic would have been given a red for that blatant assault on LaPorte, and their were others which were very close too, the foul on Fernandinho comes to mind.
They are doing very well indeed to be where they are in the table, but imo Pep would want to learn fuck all from their performance other than togetherness perhaps.
That game was like the disgrace away at Cardiff where we were so fucking lucky not to pick up serious injuries.
And Mason was in charge i believe for that one also, the FA cup game. Needs a new dossier to have him removed from our games as he always screws us over. Last game 2-1 win v Southampton, allowed them to time waste from the 1st minute yet when we went 2-1 up in the 87th minute he found time after that to book Eddy for time wasting
