Pre-Match View From Scunthorpe

[Caveblade]

I love the fact that every "View From" has at least one "I have got a good feeling about this one"!

For a club of their size, having had the season that they have had to date, their fans need to take a look at themselves if they are calling for the managers head.

As for Adkins, they should come and talk to us if they want to know how far he has sunk. Bringing old managers back is a recipe for disaster.

Thank you Roy

“Here is a formal invitation for all Iron fans to join me in a rousing rendition of “Alexander’s barmy army” whilst the strange Yorkshire folk sing a dreary song about chip butties. It’s the perfect chance before kick off to show the players and the manager that we’re right behind them.Up the Iron.”

Oh yes, what better antidote to dreariness than the spine-tinglingly original "<managers name> barmy army"?

Are they really that devoid of culture in Scunthorpe?

They have plenty of Culture, until it's washed off by their twice yearly shower, whether they need one or not.

 

[The Crab]

Adkins and Motivator. Surely that's an oxymoron

The guy who wants him back there is certainly some sort of Moron

 

[The Crab]

Well its near hull and thats the city of culture if it helps, you have to read that more than once to come close to believing it

Yep, it's damning enough being Scunthorpe, then you realise you're near Hull too. What a pisser.

Just hope the team turns up. With a big, big crowd there is always a chance that they won't and regrettably if things don't go well at the start the atmosphere can turn nasty.

Be reight Pierre. Wilder will get them going, 2-0 Blades. 3000 Scunny fans will go home unhappy at the result, and the fact they're going back there

Cheers Roy, appreciated as always mate

Judging by their fans comments in regards to their style of play and the contrast to ours, I can't help but feel a lot more confident after that. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if they put in their performance of the season, seen it far too many times at the lane whilst we've been in this league

Fair enough, I agree but although we know nothing is guaranteed and anything can happen, the odds are we are going to play well, have most of the possession and shots and win, I now always feel the longer the game goes on the more confident I become, its great on a Friday night to be looking forward to a big game infront of a good crowd, bring it on.

Adkins ......

 

[blade too long]

begging to get Adkins back
I didnt realise how bad they must be just now

 

[Hodgyman]

Thanks again Roy for the amusement. Things are so bad there that they think Adkins would make an improvement. I will sleep soundly tonight

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

I have zero grudge with the folks of Scunthorpe.
They've had the soul ripped out of their town, employment wise.
If the football is what they have to look forward to, that's very similar to us, as Sheffield folks for many years too.

If this season they and us gain promotion, i'll raise a glass to them too.

Right, bedtime for me, big day tomorrow!!!
COYRAWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kevin Keegan's mum?

 

[Stretch]

Been thinking about this game a lot today and have come to the conclusion that it will be a very very tough examination. Despite their recent dip Scunny will be fired up as f**k for this. We are both capable of beating each other so it will be down to who wants it most on the day.
Could go either way this one and I would take a draw to be honest.

 

[Silent Blade]

Kevin Keegan's mum?

Keegan is from Armthorpe, near Doncaster

"I would go and get Adkins, he fits here and is great motivator. I know i will get ripped for even suggesting it,but,it’s just a thought. I know Adkins stock has gone way down since those heady days,but,like i said, just feel he fits well here. This doesn’t look good at all at the minute, not got a good feeling about this now, neither do the players either by the looks of it. Mighty Adkins…Super Adkins !”

Ok lads, who was it? Teasing precious Coventry fans is one thing, but I'd like to know which Blade went to the trouble of joining the Scunthorpe forum just to post this??

Like a Night Club in the morning, you're the bitter end
Like a recently disinfected shit-house, you're clean round the bend
You give me the horrors
Too bad to be true
All of my tomorrow's
Are lousy 'cause of you
You put the cunt in Scunthorpe
You put the pain in Spain
Your germs are splattered about
Your face is just a stain

You're certainly no raver, commonly known as a drag
Do us all a favour, here... wear this polythene bag

You're like a dose of scabies
I've got you under my skin
You make life a fairy tale... Grimm

People mention murder, the moment you arrive
I'd consider killing you if I thought you were alive
You've got this slippery quality
It makes me think of phlegm
And a dual personality
I hate both of them

You're bad breath, vamps disease, destruction, and decay
Please, please, please, please, take yourself away
Like a death at a birthday party
You ruin all the fun
Like a sucked and spat out smartie
You're no use to anyone
Like the shadow of the guillotine
On a dead consumptive's face
Speaking as an outsider
What do you think of the human race?

You went to a progressive psychiatrist
He recommended suicide
Before scratching your bad name off his list
And pointing the way outside

You hear laughter breaking through, it makes you want to fart
You're heading for a breakdown
Better pull yourself apart

Your dirty name gets passed about when something goes amiss
Your attitudes are platitudes
Just make me want to piss

What kind of creature bore you
Was it some kind of bat?
They can't find a good word for you
But I can...
