Ben and Andrew react to today's news that Chris Wilder has been sacked as manager of Sheffield United. We discuss why it might have happened, what we think of the timing, and whether we think it's the right decision, plus look back on Wilder's legacy and what a new man could mean for the club going forward. As always, thanks for listening and UTB!

Ben and Andrew emerge from under their respective rocks and remove their fingers from their respective ears to acknowledge that a playoff final took place two weeks ago. We do our best not to discuss that in any particular detail and instead appraise how we're feeling about United heading into the off-season and another year in the Championship.

Thanks for your patience and for listening!

The time for talking is almost over, but until then Ben and Andrew blurt out some nervously-excited / excitedly-nervous thoughts ahead of United's 5th attempt to win a playoff final. Does Sunderland's form matter? Do our two league meetings have any significance? Can we keep our cool? How much of a difference will Wilder make? All this and more covered in an amount of detail greater than zero.

Thanks for listening and for one last time this season, UTB!

Ben and Andrew savour a smooth semi-final victory for the Blades, who repeat the scoreline of the first leg and beat Bristol City 6-0 on aggregate. We discuss a brilliant atmosphere and a memorable George Baldock moment, the great position the squad is in, how we're feeling heading to Wembley to face Sunderland, and the farce around the delayed kickoff announcement.

Back with a preview of the match itself next week, in the meantime thanks for listening and UTB!

Ben and Andrew have a brief but giddy review of United's fantastic 3-0 win over Bristol City in the first leg of the playoff semi-finals, as Callum O'Hare and forgotten man Andre Brooks give the Blades a healthy cushion following Harrison Burrows' first half penalty. We talk about two big refereeing decisions, wily Wilder, the value of Kieffer Moore and a few other odds and ends ahead of Monday's second leg.

It's time for our old friend the playoffs, and Ben and Andrew are feeling optimistic (well, mainly Ben). We look ahead at the two games to come with Bristol City, including how both sides are shaping up and the fact United actually having a strong squad to pick from for once in a playoff campaign.

Finally, with the regular season over, we revisit our Chip Butty Predictions from the start of the campaign to find who owes who a tasty carb-based meal.

With the Blades about to try and win the playoffs at the 10th attempt, Ben and Andrew look back through history to see what went wrong in every previous campaign and what lessons we can (hopefully) learn that'll help Chris Wilder's class of 2025 finally giving us that sweet sweet Wembley win we've been waiting 100 years for.

Thanks for listening and UTB!

With United's status as the third men of the Championship confirmed, Ben and Andrew look at what needs to happen over the next few weeks to get the squad as ready as possible for the knockout fun of the playoffs.

Thanks for listening, and UTB!

Ben and Andrew lament a dreadful defeat at Plymouth that means it'll almost certainly be the playoffs for United this season. We look at where it's gone wrong, what we'd like to see next, and whether there is still more than a glimmer of hope for the top two...

Thanks for listening, and UTB!

Ben and Andrew take a deep breath and talk through two terrible results for United that sees them falter in the race for automatic promotion despite not really playing that differently to the rest of the season. There's some encouragement in that, but also a fair dose of frustration of course as the fun of they playoffs nudges closer. We also look ahead to what is now a huge game at Plymouth on Saturday.
