Hide Ad@tyronej1984: Oli McBurnie. Very rare a United player goes from scapegoat to cult hero, and is now surely the player we all hoped he would be
@gaffer0103: Point gained ..win Tuesday and it’s all good ..these young Blades make me despair ..they think we can just roll over experienced Champ teams at will are in for a major shock this winter ..UTB
@OutSide_TheBox2: McBurnie has been on fire! 5 goals in 6 after not scoring for the best part of a full season. So pleased for him
@andymorton81: Stewards at Bramall Lane? Why do they need to stand up for added on time? Anybody on front few rows - including disabled fans on John Street - have their view of the most pivotal part of the game blocked. It’s ridiculous.

Hide Ad@james_holland11: McBurnie’s got to be one of the most passionate celebrators after scoring. Here for it
@JohnnyFaz90: Birmingham came with a plan and executed it well, we weren’t at 100% so honestly take the point
@meeksy37: Standard after the international break performance but we didn't lose and stay at the top on to Tuesday we go
@AntSSimo19: Badly missed invention of AA and whilst appreciating the lack of LHS options, LWB role is not for Khadra. Berge ended up coming too deep. Brum a tough line to breach and claimed a deserved point. Plenty of these tests to come, we’ll be better for the experience.

Hide Ad@andymorton81: We ALWAYS have trouble with the Blues, let’s keep some perspective. Got to give them credit, defended well but kept Hogan/Deeney up top to give us an issue. Only used “dark arts” in last ten minutes too to secure the point. Still top. Need to respond vs. QPR. #SUFC
@1JonDavies1988: Birmingham came for a point and fully deserved what they got. No problem, if you can’t win don’t get beat. Still top, next #sufc
@craigsablade30: Not at the races . If you don’t play well an you don’t lose that’s a positive . Onto Tuesday #sufc
