Why Blades fans should cheer Owls in the play-offs

[stringer]

recent ill-feeling around their coverage of our triumphs this season

What's that then?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

All valid points! Apart from the last one

Great – start the presses.

 

[Weasel]

Nah. Just think of the hope, the yearning and the 'belief' they'll have in their grunting souls. They will all be dancing about, crossing off lists and hoping Tunaman will buy up countless unavailable individuals for the big push in the big-boys league. They will all be gobbing off ... big trip to Wembley, pissing up in the Green Man, coaches of dismal, souless pricks with that daft badge and ridiculous colours all trotting down to the smoke to see their team of wankers fail hard against an unfancied, out-of-form opposition. The final whistle shrilling out, drowned out by the crying and screaming as they haul ass back up the M1 to face United fans laughing in their fat, bristly faces and the prospect of all that lovely lost moolaah and the grim reality that the Blades are well up for it next season.

Bring. It. On.

I like it. I like it a lot. In fact I think I got a hard on reading that last bit. It would be 'simply lovleh'.

 

[pommpey]

I would point you to the special pull-out The Star did celebrating promotion, and the front&back cover last Wednesday covering the Town Hall reception. But you're a WUM so I won't bother

I would point out 'irony'.

You can't deny however the unflinching bias your rag has toward the seedier end of Sheffield though, yeah? It must have fucking killed the editorial team to cobble together anything celebratory for United. Duty calls, and all that.

"You ... and you. I want some pull out on United's Div One championship and this party-thing they are having at the Town Hall."

"Aw, boss. Can't we do stuff on potholes in Herries Road? What about squirrels in Endcliffe Park? Hey ... Wednesday are in the playoffs, you know ... "

I thought it was a fan letter until I clicked the link and realised it was an actual reporter

No, if it was a Wendy fan letter it would have read:

Bear with it, yeah? I’m not calling for a fantasy, know what I mean? black-and-white 1950s sportsman-like utopia where we, like, all wish each other the very best, yeah?, touch the peak of our caps, like, and cycle to work, yeah? as the factory hooter goes off, like, compelling though that may be. Yeah? Know what I mean?

[DifferentClass]

Well this is gonna make me cheer for Udders more.

Fuck off pig rag

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Having read it again, it's won me over. I'm gonna support them in the play offs. I might even buy a ticket to the final. What's point stopping there? I'll probably support them every week and hope both United and Wednesday win every game and draw when they play another. I might even cheers Barnsley and Doncaster. What a great article.

I just love sarcasm

 

[Northyorksblade]

All very much tongue in cheek I suspect, knowing the reaction it would get. Calm down everyone.

Nonsense from start to finish. But especially the start and the finish.

 

[Liverpool blade]

Absolutely bollocks written by a snort beast!!!. I'd love to bulldoze the fucking rust bucket!!. That would give me so much pleasure!!. Come on Huddersfield, reading and Fulham!.

Point where you want, we didn't buy it.

 

[Revolution]

The idea that any Blade would want the Pigs to be promoted is laugable.

Sadly, Huddersfield are one of the teams that always fold up to the Pigs (see also Barnsley and Ipswich) so I expect them to reach the final easily.

Hopefully Fulham, who are in better form than Reading and have given the Pigs some problems, will turn them over in the final.

 

[I should coco]

If the board of a football club feels pressure to invest heavily because of how a rival is doing, then they're weak. That's a pathetic reason to invest. I want what Wilder wants - sensible investment, nothing over the odds, for the sustainable betterment of SUFC

Yes Tunaman gambles £100m on a quick promotion with the money all spunked on wages and transfer fees. Nothing spent on the ground or academy or anything that might be considered 'long term'.

I am looking forward to the day when Tunaman gets bored and buys a baseball franchise or similar. Those peasants really will be roaring into their chips.

The last thing we want is another 'gamble'. Sensible targeted investment and 'steady as she goes' will do me fine and give us a chance of a sustainable Premier challenge.

Local media might want two Sheffield Prem clubs but I don't give a shit. I'd like us to be there. I'd never wish the same for them lot.

Even Blades at the top and them in the bottom 3 wouldn't be enough.

I think 6-7 years of continual administration and avoiding relegation on the last day from the league system, which the silly twats cheer to the high heavens. ...

....Then they drop out of the league.

 

[Feo]

Pigs were once playing Man U and Simon Clarke on RS said something on the lines of " I think even Blades fans will want Wednesday to win this one"
I thought to myself " you haven't got a fucking clue have you" ?

 

[snootyfenooty]

All very much tongue in cheek I suspect, knowing the reaction it would get. Calm down everyone.

It's not tongue in cheek, it's a piss take. Bastards.

 

[Northyorksblade]

It's not tongue in cheek, it's a piss take. Bastards.

Like I said, calm down

 

[Nade]

Um, you're either winding us up, or you're not a Sheffielder.

Failure, for Sheffield Wednesday, is always an option.

pommpey

Oh really? Are those my two options, with nothing else possible?

Strange, because I'm a Sheffielder and yet I'm being completely serious.

Edit: In fairness I live in Leeds nowadays, so I'm not surrounded by Wednesday fans much. That probably makes a difference.

Rather like saying sharks are nice fish and not to be worried about while you live halfway up a fucking mountain.

You're wrong again.

You MUST be surrounded by Wednesday fans. They are massive and second only to Real Madrid in the global giants stakes.

MASSIVE, I tell you!

 

[Groucho Blade]

Huddersfield v Pigs. Finally, a team playing in blue and white stripes we can all get behind.

 

[djbaldken]

And of course the Star is not biased at all now is it??? Like f**k it is!! There you have it conclusively in black and white. This piece is either mischievous or a downright blatant piss take.
Now living in a village on the outskirts of Huddersfield. I will be in my local on Sunday noon and Wednesday night. Its frequented by more than a few pigs. (All being typical obnoxious deluded twats) I will be wearing my Blades shirt will be firmly with my Huddersfield Town friends Cheering on The Terriers!!!

 

[stringer]

Point where you want, we didn't buy it.

You did

 

[elgoog44]

Really could not give a fuck if they go up or don't, the only time I will care is when we play them and I would hope for at least 4 points from both at the very least and of course would love the full complement of 6 points from both matches, other than that the only time I have actively watched anything about Wednesday is when they nearly went under and that brought me brief but some happiness, but as we know they survived by the skin of there teeth and stay around like the annoyance that they are.

They are like the embarrassing side of the family that is always on the furthest table from the wedding party you have to acknowledge there existence, but really you don't want to.

 

[shorehamview]

The only thing you used to be able to rely on the Star for was tomorrow's chips served in it. Since those lunatics in Brussels decided that newsprint and vinegar were toxic you can't even have that any more.

And what happened to the shouty blokes in town who used to sell the Star to people on their way home from work? When it became a morning paper we don't even have the simple pleasure of trying to work out what the bloke in the brown coat was actually yelling at passing commuters.

I tell you, things aren't what they used to be, apart from the shoddy third rate "journalism". That's still as shite as ever.

 

[blade too long]

Im willing to give Wednesday as much support as Id give to making Jimmy Saville a saint

 

[2ndtenorblade]

You did

How many?

 

[Nade]

Rather like saying sharks are nice fish and not to be worried about while you live halfway up a fucking mountain.

A fair point

Hey that's not fair. They bought that telly.

That's what I would rather do.
