Weird negativity there tbh. What on Earth were they expecting against a team that finished 2nd in the Championship last year and has strengthened since?
 
Enjoyed that. Cheers Roy.

Chesterfield represent the complete antithesis of our club. As they suggest, we were in the same position just 5 years ago and now look, they've gone to the bottom and us to the top.

I would say I feel for em, but I'd be lying.

If there's any chesterfield fans lurking (and there will be as you're all closet Blades)..bon voyage you sack of shites!
 
Cheers mate. Just got to work. First thing I thought was 'wonder if Roy's View From is up yet?'

Nice start to the day. 👍🏻
 
I was sat with a mate of mine who is a Chesterfield fan (but a realistic one) was even getting angry at some of the chants in their kop... chanting "Premier League, you're having a laugh" when you're 5-0 down 😂

One bloke in Glassworks across road after was telling me how Billy Sharp wouldn't get another 3 goals all next season & If they had their 14/15 play-off team they would have won league one instead of us in 16/17. I think Wednesday must be starting to share their deludamol.
 
So regardless of local rivalry, there is now a huge gulf between the sides in terms of divisions, we were excellent in the second half against them at their place when we got promoted from League 1 and they went down. I'd have expected some of those comments after we beat them in that game.

However, when a Newly promoted Premier League side faces a Conference side in a preseason friendly and the Premier League side is showcasing two of its multi-million pound signings, the result and goals are completely irrelevant. Its just pissing and whinging for the sake of it.

And yes, when that side bring 3365 away fans (more than half of the 6,270 attendance) to a friendly game, and your average last season was 4,503) your club is indeed boosting its coffers and fair play to them.

Some fans don't get what the point of friendlies are, our own are the same. Even Pigs have tweeted that they beat Northampton 0-4 compared to our 0-2. Its nice to go unbeaten, but its also important to get a few things out of the system.

The main thing is for players to get time in their legs, work with new players, face up against sides that will challenge them and perhaps deal with defeats.

Chesterfield players will have most certainly got a lot from playing against United, just as United players will have too, in different ways, Kean Bryan got 90 mins, Robinson and Sharp got a run out together, Freeman, Freeman and Baldock all getting their chance to work on their attacking play as well.

Barnsley will probably pose a tougher test, just as Reims will too.

"we were on a par with the Blunts 4 short years ago".

Actually we played them at BDTBL in April 2016 in L1 and (scraped a 3-2 win) so that's only 3 years and 3 months! Just underlines how far we have come - and also how far they have fallen.

I can’t believe it’s been just over 3 years since we played them at the Lane in our final home game in league 1🙄. The gulf in class now is clearly evident. It still feels slightly surreal that we’re gonna be welcoming Chelsea etc to the Lane whilst they’re hosting notts county and Halifax town😳.
Cheers Roy as always. UTB ⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔
 
"if you think that a pre season game against a Premiership side proves anything, and you shout out things like ‘close them down’ or ‘play it out’ – you probably drink bath water."

Never a true word spoken. That's the highlight of this "View from".

Tarn were really useless though. I thought they'd at least compete athletically but they had no pace, so strength nothing.
Jags outstripped their forward a couple of times, even when he had a few yards start and the less said about their defence the better.

I genuinely thought they'd had some players who had attributes to makes professional footballers but had fallen foul of just not being technical enough to start at a higher level. But they just looked like they couldn't really be arsed. A bit like Fleck when he came on.

Laughed out loud at the bathwater comment!

Me an' all. Brilliant comment.

"or the dee daah bellends who raved whilst offering out fans in a pre season game"

That one too.

They are funny, them lot from Derbyshire but wish they were from Yorkshire. Aspirational dee-dahs. That's all it boils down to with Chesterfield fans.

pommpey
 
"At the lane, at the lane, we're all Dee Daa bellends at the lane"

Cheers Roy.
 
““We need players to beat National League teams at the current time, not Premier League teams. I know it sticks in the throat that we were on a par with the Blunts 4 short years ago & now there is a massive gulf but it really is irrelevant to our current plight. Sheridan is putting together a team I think will challenge so throwing toys out of the pram after tonight really isn’t necessary. Like I say, it still rankles but let’s keep our eyes on what’s immediately in fro nt of us, The National League & winning it.”

To still use the term Blunts when in 4 years your better side has sunk to the level it has whilst United have carved their way into the Premier League is tragic! The only blunt thing being displayed is the intelligence of this particular Chezvegas fan.

I worked in the town for a year and got to a point of really disliking them. Their small town chip out of the shoulder gets very tiresome.

Although to be fair, our players were probably half cut still for that last game of the season. Like they were this season at Stoke.

It's actually just over 2 years since we played them at the Lane.
 
So what if they spent a couple of seasons in the same division as us. That was never going to last. We were always likely to get promoted at some point and they were always likely to get relegated at some point.

Disappointed no one on their forum has called you a weirdo this time?
