About this listen

Join brothers and lifelong Blades fans as we dive into everything Sheffield United — from matchday reactions and tactical breakdowns to transfer talk (don’t worry, we don’t pretend to be ITK!), club news, and plenty of brotherly squabbling. Each episode we’ll review a match, discuss the next one and argue about the direction of the club.

Whether you’re a die-hard Blade or just keeping tabs on the season, The Sheffield United Hodcast is a proper listen for honest opinions, sibling bickering and a fan’s perspective on all things United.

  • Episode 7 - Why We Do It (Watford and Blackburn)
    Oct 23 2025

    Two wins on the bounce — it’s been a long time coming! In this episode, Matt and Jonny revel in Sheffield United’s back-to-back victories over Watford and Blackburn Rovers, sharing all the joy and relief that comes with finally seeing the Blades hit form. Jonny delivers his much-anticipated player ratings, we look ahead to Preston away, and reflect on what these performances might mean for the season ahead. We also want to say a huge thank you to Shaun for all his help (and his singing!), and to everyone who’s listened, shared, and sent feedback — it means a lot. Up the Blades!

  • Episode 6 - Dull City
    Oct 9 2025

    In this week’s episode, we are back on the Hod talking all things Sheffield United after a disappointing defeat away at Hull City. We dissect another frustrating afternoon for the Blades, breaking down the key moments, defensive errors, and missed chances that cost United once again. Jonny delivers his trademark player ratings (no punches pulled), while we both explore opinions on what this result really says about where the team is right now.

    With the international break arriving at a crucial point in the season (and Matt not being able to tell the difference between a friendly and qualifier), we discuss what comes next for the Blades, from possible tactical tweaks to how the squad can reset and rediscover some confidence. We round off the episode by previewing the upcoming Watford clash, looking at what needs to change if United are to turn things around.

    Thanks to Shaun, Scott and Lee as always for your work in making this possible!

  • Episode 5 - The U’s Giveth and the Saints Taketh Away
    Oct 1 2025

    In this Hodcast we finally get to talk about a win – our first (and only!) of the season so far, away at Oxford. We go over what clicked on the day, which players stood out, and whether it was a sign of better things to come or just a rare bright spot in a tough campaign.

    Back at Bramall Lane it was a very different story, as a refereeing horror show overshadowed the home defeat to Southampton. We break down the key decisions, vent a bit of frustration, and ask what more United have to do to get a fair shake.

    We also take a step back and chat through some of the club’s biggest missed signings – those nearly-men who could’ve changed the picture – before turning attention to the return of Oli McBurnie as he lines up against the Blades this weekend.

    To round things off, we look ahead to a tricky test against Hull City, asking where the points might come from and what United need to do to turn things around.

    A big shout-out to Shaun, Scott and Lee for all their support, and a massive thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared, and got involved – it means a lot.
