Pocco on the Blades..

[Dnblade]

Coming to the Lane must have made a big impression on the Spurs boss...

I remember him praising the atmosphere after the match, but at the time I felt he was more praising our effort of getting to a semi final. The fact that he still points it out as his favourite atmosphere is nice to hear.

Just been reading the article via newsnow and was about to post the same.

Let's hope he experiences it again when we're back in the prem

35k is a slight exaggeration but we'll let it go

It sounded like 35,000 that evening, for sure. I'd lost my voice next morning!

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

'Much better than I’ve experienced at Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge or the Emirates'

sly dig in there somewhere but still nice of him to say

I had headache for 2 days after celebrating our second goal.

Didn't mourinho praise the blades fans for singing eff off mourinho as well.
Bramall lane is fantastic at times , usually night matches though for me.

I thought the atmosphere was pretty tense early on, then quiet after Spurs scored...(except for Spurs fans who were quite boisterous throughout). I was quite disappointed really.... though after we went in front it was pretty mental. Pity that didn't happen earlier... we could have really shown what a great place BDTBL is when it's "bouncing".

I had headache for 2 days after celebrating our second goal.

At one point I thought I was going to black-out... then was jolted back to reality when I realised my wedding ring had flown off in the mad celebration.... (the black-out would have been from the missus when I got home....)

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Don't understand why he didn't mention Swillsborough in his list of famous grounds tbh. Very confusing.

 

[Slim Man]

Remember that fans league one of the papers run when we were in the prem?

The league was being decided on the decibels produced inside the stadium. Blades and Pompey were neck and neck. Was class, always remember that.

Reading bottom unsurprisingly.

 

[Hartley Hare]

Given his obvious affection and admiration for our club maybe we should ask him for a loan of a centre-half or two?

Yep:

"Places like this are the soul of English football. The crowd is magnificent, saying 'fuck off Mourinho' and so on."

For reference Jose, I wasn't telling you to fuck off. I was too busy drooling.

[Punk Blade]

I like how he was specifically asked which Premier League ground had the best atmosphere and he thought 'sod that, I have to tell you about Sheffield United.'

 

[Swanseablade]

Well said Pocco!
Have grown to like him a lot.
At Southampton he frustrated me a bit for first 2 years cos he seemingly refused to speak English.
It's probably a confidence thing, coz when he started his English was good (better than mine & Ollies!)

We shouldn't complain as us Brits generally are the worst at learning a second language- remember "talking louder doesn't make it easier to understand."

Ahhh ............... but Redgates was another matter

 

[stringjunior]

Redgates - there's a whole thread reserved for Redgates somewhere...

 

[petrkatchuro]

Future Blades manager that lad..we do like our Argies. Poch head coach with Sabella as assistant...can fit H S Veron in there somewhere too...he grew up wanting to play for the RAWW!!

There's a magical place, we're on our way there, fans in there millions all under one roof, it's called bramall lane.

Agree I thought it was a bit quiet at first. He ought to have been there for the Charlton quarter final or the Forest play-off. The period when Che scored the 2 goals was something else though and I suppose it's that that's stuck in his mind which is no surprise as I don't doubt that he'd never heard anything like that before.

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Can't believe everyone's still wanking over this. The atmosphere was as flat as it was all season until we were in front.

[WorkingtonBlade]

I think it's more that it's an easy answer to an interviewer's question.

If he mentions another Premier League ground as having a good atmosphere, it's going to annoy some Spurs fans. Being so far below, we're non-threatening, so uncontroversial.
