Gemma also known as bladeinleeds. Obviously due to that name I live in Leeds, yes I was born in Leeds also but have more sense than to support Dirty Leeds. Supported the club ever since I can remember so since I was about 6, which is 12 years ago.
What was your first game?
Pompey away April 1996 and a 2-1 win although not too memorable.
Describe the most memorable and worst game you've seen and why?
Most memorable game is probably the Forest 2nd leg Play Off game at Bramall Lane in 2003. 2-0 down but came back to win 4-3 in the end. Fantastic!
Worst game 3-0 defeat Play Off final 2003 in Cardiff. Words cannot describe how upset and annoyed I was at the time!
If Sheffield United was a Celebrity, who would it be and why?
Can’t think of one at the moment although it would have to be someone that promises so much but delivers little! I’ll think about this one!
Who do you consider as your current local rivals, and why?
Personally it’s Dirty Leeds United now they thankfully have been relegated. Can’t stand the club or their fans apart from my dad of course. Suppose I should mention Sheffield Wednesday though as well.
Who are the best and worst players you have seen?
Best player I’ve seen is Michael Brown although the 2002/2003 was his best of his career and he won’t ever repeat that again. Some fantastic goals were scored that season and each one was by Brown.
Worst player I’ve seen was the one appearance from Lee Baxter. A goalkeeper signed to cover for Kenny’s serious injury last season, who managed to make his debut and be subbed after 45 minutes. Two goals conceded with both going straight through his hands-it was a disgrace although I did feel a bit sorry for him even!
Which current or former Rotherham player impressed you most?
Always been impressed with Pollit and I’ve always wanted Warnock to get him as cover for Kenny. He wouldn’t go come though thanks to Warnock’s stupid idea of not having a keeper on the bench!
How did you fare last season?
Started very well and were actually top around October time if I remember correctly. As the season went on, our form got worse resulting in us missing out on the play offs by a few points in the end. Did have a good FA Cup run though reaching the quarter finals. Injury to Kabba did not help things.
After throwing away a two-goal lead at Millmoor how’s things gone on since?
Things have gone like I expected them too really great cup run as usual
Can you make Automatic promotion and if not the play offs?
We can no longer make the top 2, mainly thanks to a poor home record this season. The play offs possibly but we need to improve our league form and fast with teams such as Derby and Preston going very well, on top of West Ham and Reading.
Paul Shaw was class for us early season before you recalled him. He seemed to be doing really well, what's happened?
The manager doesn’t seem to get on with him for some reason. His first touch is class and he generally does well when given the chance. However, he isn’t really someone to play alongside Gray upfront- he needs to be just behind the front 2.
So what do you think of The Millers?
I like Rotherham and I will miss going to Millmoor next season for sure. I tend to be drawn to little clubs that have no money but still do well. Good luck next season!
Not sure why you got rid of Moore though?
Is your manager barking mad? 
Most definitely! Despite his stupid and mainly embarrassing antics I cannot complain TOO much because he has done a lot for our club although recent tactics and substitutions have turned more fans against him.
I’ve met him on numerous occasions and he is not a wan*er away from the match days I can assure you. Top bloke really, which is most surprising I guess!
Are you happy with your Chairman/Backroom staff?
Definitely not! Warnock is expected to work miracles with no money and get us in the top 6 each year all because we had one very good season in 2002/2003. It frustrates me to see teams like Leeds paying out for Healy for example when they are meant to be in such a bad financial position unlike we are meant to be.
The board do make a good point by saying they don’t want to end up like certain other Yorkshire clubs but you must gamble for once surely, especially when the division is such a poor one.
Which team do you want to beat the most this season and why?
Leeds away in April. Can’t wait for that one and we beat them 2-0 at Bramall Lane so a repeat of that would mean me being very happy for weeks after!
What sort of line-up can we expect from you?
Not a strong one as Kenny got injured at Plymouth and Cullip is suspended. Look out for Luke Beckett coming on to get a goal though as he has now been recalled from his loan spell at Huddersfield. Should be 4-4-2 although with Warnock you never know!
Predicted score?
Won’t be as easy as some may think but I will go for 2-1 to the Blades.
Who's going up?
Ipswich, Sunderland, West Ham
Who's going down?
Millers (sorry!), Forest, Gillingham
Pie's - What Flavour?
None! Don’t like pies to be honest!
