Pre-Match View From Swansea

[Edinblade]

"I’d call the Blades a typical Championship side, big and physical with limited football ability- the type of side we struggle with at the Liberty.”

That fucks me right off, we play some of the best football in the league.

I think they need to borrow a spy from Leeds to know how we play.

Cheers Roy

Nice stuff weird one!

Hopefully the gigantic presence of Sharp, Fleck and Duffy is enough

This numpty also put the following on Twitter "

Some facts on our next opponents...the 'mighty' Sheffield United Nickname: The Blades Biggest trophy won: League One 2017 Record transfer fee: £4 million Average away attendance: 358 Current status: Dramatically overachieving

Clearly he is not very bright so I wouldn't take a lot of notice. UTB

Oh dear. Tap in.

Ex-Cardiff Madine to bag a brace on Satdi and stick it up em.

[Pinchy]

That may be true, but as relevant as calling me a Ginger (nothing wrong with that BTW) when I've been pretty much bald since I was 23.

Opening view from can fuxk off. The poster clearly knows sod all about us.

Well we’ve been on the box as much as any team in the league this season, so I can only assume that if they think we’re a big tough team of lumpers there must be a blanket ban on satellite dishes down there...or the hills are blocking the signal.

They do have a point about the Pigs though, the humourless deluded swine wouldn’t know banter if it hit them in the snout.

 

[Brian Deane]

Cheers Roy. Cheeky Welsh feckers. I thought we play a decent game tbh and I also would say we're perhaps one of the lightweight teams in the division regarding physicality.

To be fair it doesn't take much with teh Pinchers

I try not to goad him, I seem to have pissed enough people off lately!

I bet he's a big soft teddy bear really

[diode_blade]

Ta muchly Roy, some silly little boy comments in there as well as a few sensible ones

 

[Foody]

To be fair the guy posts negative stuff about every team they are about to play just to get a reaction. Then he judges how good the opposition fans banter is. Quite funny to be fair .

He seems decent
It's worth getting in on. I've been on the wind up with him this afternoon. There'll be much wittier folk than I on here, so get involved.

 

[Houston_Blade]

After reading those I want to beat the silly Welsh bastards. Obviously don’t know much about the way we play so I really hope we turn up.

 

[Grecian2000]

To be honest, if my only sighting of us this season was the opening day game, I would be wondering how the hell we manage to sit in second right now.

The fact we played Sharp and Duffy less, had Lundstram and Evans "running" things and Norwood was not on the radar, I think they need to be taking this into account before writing us off for tomorrow.
Looking forward to it. if we play as we know we can then I think we'll be OK.

I think there's history between Swansea and the Pigs because I was working there, when they got beat by Huddersfield on penalties. I watched the entire game in the pub and it soon became clear, I wasn't the only honorary HTFC fan that night, from about 30 minutes in, I was getting free drinks once they realised I was a Blade. It was a cracking night out and they were a good laugh, didn't take themselves too seriously and just hated Cardiff, as we hate the Pigs. I never could get to the bottom of their animosity to all things pork though, they were strangely cagey.

I did like his response to them being 13th

We'll they're not wrong about the piggies. Thanks Roy interesting read.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Swansea were always a Championship club playing above themselves in the Premier league. They’ve blended in very well to mid table obscurity.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Big physical team .. last time he saw us under Bassett .. it’ll be a close game tomorrow head says 1-1 heart says 2-1 us .. I’d agree with lad who says Montero changed the game for them st The Lane .. were a lot more balanced side now than the one in August .. sacrifices have meant weve lost the midfield colossus Evans & had to scrape around & use the square peg in s round hole Norwood as a replacement ...hey ho

"I’d call the Blades a typical Championship side, big and physical with limited football ability"

1992 just called, they'd like their stereotype back please

Don’t be pissed off, they’ll keep underestimating us as we progress, they don’t see little old “Sheffield” every week..

Long may this misconception continue..

"I’d call the Blades a typical Championship side, big and physical with limited football ability- the type of side we struggle with at the Liberty.”

Clearly haven't seen us play at all the last 3 years and is maybe just fixed with the idea we still play Hoofball like we did under certain previous managers
