We could probably lose another 6 or 7 at this rate and still piss the league.
 
“It's like the gods of football have a grudge against us.
What other team has a transfer embargo and this many players injured. The high earners too.”

Pro-tip: massively overspending and then having a thin squad is a result of gross mismanagement and not blind luck
 
when your fellow fans are suffering and things look bleak offer them a few comforting words.........
.......nah nah nah we got Billy Sharp
 
Edinblade asked me to do this on the shoutbox. Not as many comments as a usual View From but a general view of the feelings of their fans tonight


SCUNNY FANS


“You just couldn’t make it up. Absolute joke lads you don’t want promotion. Total laughing stock, wage thief’s.”

“Three points from six games is relegation form and yet we’re still second!!”

“I’m resigned to accepting we’re not going to make the top two after tonight’s result. The only consolation is that we’re safe from relegation (!) but hugely disappointing. I’m the eternal optimist
but at the moment I can’t see us making the play-offs; and even if we do I can’t see us succeeding. Unless Bill can start praying and be rewarded with a miracle…
GA needs to take a long hard look at things and start planning now for next season — in League One. “

“We’ve had our blip and if we beat Fleetwood on Saturday it will be a new perspective.”

“Just throwing something out there….Managers at the bottom of the table don’t get the result to achieve a clubs aim, being safety, get the chop!We can all see we aren’t going to get promotion at this rate so…..Before everyone jumps on my back, we are overachieving therefore it won’t happen and this current position is the best we could hope for. We all know it”

"Overachieving? With one of, if not the, biggest budgets in the division?"

"It seems GA doesn’t really know what to do, no plan A and no plan B, tactics totally sussed out, just what do all the coaching staff do ?
Nigel will be back soon, Saturday wouldn’t be soon enough."

BOLTON FANS

“It's like the gods of football have a grudge against us.
What other team has a transfer embargo and this many players injured. The high earners too.”

“Terrible result.
A red card, Vela 10 yellows and Spearing potentially injured.
A shite night all round “

“Piss poor. Initial reaction is every single sub looks feck mental, took both defensive mids off. feck hope Spearing isnt injured. Throwing it away. Dogshit.”

“The Scunny defeat has given us a glimmer of hope. Win our game in hand to go second.”

“It was all to do with Parkinson today. We spent the entire game lumping it up to Long who had no chance of winning anything. Something should of changed at half time, it seems Parkinson is completely found out without a target man. “

“It's just long ball and nothing else no plan b and I bet the rumour of a new signing is some 6ft 8 giant to play up front !”

“The football we are playing is turgid now both Fleetwood and Oxford become a bigger threat as well as Scunthorpe play offs most likely I feel with the dross PP is serving up. “


Thank you Roy. Is it possible for you to nip onto the Bolton forum and post a 'View from Sheffield United' please?
 
A lot of fun reading those from Bolton. The only thing that would make it even better is if there were some form of post-match interview where Phil Parkinson sounds absolutely, thoroughly gutted.

Enjoy.

Spearing got a medial ligament injury so looks as though he will be out for quite a few weeks . So both Bolton and Scunny fans say that they havent got a plan B !! Looks good Blades !!!!!! You fill up my senses like a gallon of Magnet !!

Good idea but Parky would report us for stalking and the football league would deduct us 15 points as its unfair to their fans !

It's the Blades Way as we say!

As amusing as this has been recently with those lot, this is Sheffield United we're dealing with and our track record of fucking things up is excellent. This 'banter' may yet come back and bite us!!
 
Bolton fan: "What other team has a transfer embargo and this many players injured. The high earners too.”

Just a note about what some of those high earners are meant to be on:

The injured Mark Davies - £17,000 p/w
Jay Spearing - £16,000 p/w
David Wheater - £18,000 p/w

Wonder what the total wage bill of Bristol Rovers' squad was tonight?

Indeed. The facts that they have an embargo and these high earners are not unrelated.

Bolton fan "It's like the gods of football have a grudge against us"

Really? You have no f*****g idea pal, none whatsoever.

Wonder his reaction if he'd had 10 years of the footballing gods. In case any Bolton fans read this:

2006/07 - Unfairly relegated from the BPL by 1 goal

2007/08 - Bryan Robson almost gets us relegated from Championship

2008/09 - Miss out on automatic promotion on last day, lose to Burnley in playoff final by 1 goal

2010/11 - Relegated to League One after Gary Speed left us for the Wales job

2011/12 - Had a famous points advantage over Sheffield Wednesday only for our top goal scorer, Ched Evans to get sent down for a crime he has now been acquitted for. After slipping to 3rd on the final day of the season we lost a Play Off Final to Huddersfield (8-7) on penalties.

2012/13 - Beaten in Play Off Semi Final by Yeovil

2013/14 - After looking like relegation candidates for League Two, Nigel Clough saves our season narrowly missing out on the playoffs but reaching an FA Cup Semi-Final.

2014/15 - Although reaching the League Cup Semi-Final after a great run, we lose to Swindon Town 7-6 in the Playoff Semi-Final.

Don't talk to us about the f*cking footballing gods.
 
Some more from Bolton

"On reflection a points a great result given they have had one off the line, one roll across the line, missed an open goal...

This doesnt feel like a season which will end in promotion. Whether its injuries, selling players, not loaning ameobi back, whatever we have played well omce this year. We've had some horrendous lick - you take the players we are missing out of any squad and they wont win as many games. feck shitter. I am annoyed at them subs but Spearing injured and that right backs first game for 9 months. What do you do if you are Parky?"

"Sounds like Long was a numpty in getting sent off! Spearing was a complete tit getting banned! Now Vela is out for two games as well - could be an 'axis' of Derik and feck trotter on Saturday! feck shite!"


"We've just run out of squad. Literally. Too many players getting up to speed. We are totally patched up with unfit rejects.
Spearing done his medial ligament so out for the season. It's not our year...a...fckin...gain."

"Well that was the most horrible game I have seen for a while. We were lucky to come away with a point. "

"I think PT will need gas and air after that. Awful, woeful, one dimensional long ball 5hite. The worst I've seen us play in years. With that kind of performance and the injuries and suspensions racking up, I'm not hopeful we'll make the play offs"

 
Would it be feasible to organise 3 open top bus parades to show off the league 1 trophy?
One in Sheffield, one in sunny Scunny and the other in Bolton.
That would be oh so sweet.
 
Out of interest Roy, and as it's your specialist field, where the hell is Fleetwood's forum? Do they even have one?

Fleetwood are officially THE SMALLEST club in the Footballl League.
We had over 27K versus Bolton on Saturday. The whole population of Fleerwood is only 25K.
They are the only town in league football that doesn't even possess a train station.
You go to Blackpool train station instead.

In the season we were in the PL we averaged over 30K
In the same season Fleetwood were having their most successful season ever gaining promotion from the 8th tier with an average gate of 466.

The highest average gate in their history is 3,552 during their 1st season in league 1
And this season, eventho they are having their best ever seaon they are the bottom of league 1 for support currently averaging 3,065.

So any forum for Fleetwood would be difficult to get off the ground as there's only likely to be a maximum of about 10 posters, so would quickly die off.

Which makes their performance so far this season admirable. Good luck to them....

How many of those 25K are Jim Chimmerney ? ;)
 
Bolton fans owner and manager are all deluded, its funny to watch the meltdown
 



"It seems GA doesn’t really know what to do, no plan A and no plan B, tactics totally sussed out, just what do all the coaching staff do ?
Nigel will be back soon, Saturday wouldn’t be soon enough."

Oh dear!!

Every single quote in Post #1 could have applied to us under Adkins. You can change personnel, tactics, formation etc., but if the manager is shit (and Adkins, Alexander and Parkinson are shit) you'll get found out.
