Unusually pessimistic from them .. have to agree re Friday night games after international weeks .. but the EFL sold their soul of the last deal & im afraid you take what comes with it .. that said think their getting excuses in early .. hasn’t Souttar been back & forth to Australia .. without a doubt it’ll be our toughest test to date & would def take a point

 

[1889]

Surprisingly, only a smattering of arrogance

 

[NateDogg]

How many calling us Sheffield?

“Not played anyone good yet!” - there’s ya pig.

Let it slide pal, it’s a compliment.

 

[S64 Blade]

Good comments and tbh, I’ve warmed to Leeds a lot more since the last promotion under Wilder.

Met a few Leeds fan last season at a pub in Kings Cross after we’d been at West Ham and they were all sound.

“Seems Blunts don’t have lots of the ball but are quite direct and aggressive.”

“wilder will target Meisler! Wilders sheff U side will be physical and they’ll just bully Mes..“


Could just copy and pasted variations of these comments for the last 30 years

"They could be ideal for us if we beat the press, or they could be a nightmare sitting deep whilst we ehave 70% of meaningless possession then smack us on the break a few times and score 2 or 3 goals.”

This

I'd be more than happy with a draw here.


Cheers Roy.

Sadly not mine.
Mrs says she'd love me to come second for a change.

Friday is going to be a bit like the Basham's arriving game more than the Brookes game I feel (where we dominated for large spells). They will have lots of the ball in attacking areas, they will create chances and we've got to be on our best to defend it, but we will get breaks and we will get chances.

Think it could be a tough watch at times having controlled pretty much all our games since QPR but might be one of those we really only enjoy once the final whistle goes if you get my drift. Think we could easily get something though I'm much more confident of us beating Boro.

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. Cheerful bunch these and weirdly pessimistic.
Ironic slow hand clap being done (yet again) as they chortle like 2 year olds with an activity centre at calling us Blunts (yet again).
Hope we fucking batter em

 

[Chimes]

Quite surprised to see elements of negativity towards their performances and Farke.

Without the unusually high points totals accumulated by Leicester and Ipswich last year, they would have gone up comfortably. What little I've heard about them this season (mainly the longer piece from George Elek at NTT20 this week) points towards a continuation of that strong season, with Leeds being statistically the best team in the league. They have a very strong defence and creative attack. As such, I'd be very happy with a point here.

Very interested to see how we do against a 'top' team, though I think we may have already seen that when we played Norwich.

 

[JayGreen17]

First goal crucial here, if we concede first it will be difficult for us.

I’d be happy with a draw to keep that 3 point gap.

I took it as a tongue in cheek comment.

 

[Varkanoid]

Their keeper is awful though I still dont get why he plays. That howler in the last match would surely get him dropped. Bang on to have best game of season against us but yes they dont like Farke do they.

Cheers Roy

“Wilder looks a lot like dropped pie”

Yeah, but one you'd still eat. Cheers boss man

As much as we all love him, we won't have Bash as our box to box midfielder this time.

I might be setting myself up for a fall here, but I don't see Leeds or many teams dominating us this season. We are pretty solid in and out of possession and can be lethal on the break.

We need to be at our best, but if Leeds have any sense about them, they should be wary of us.

Well given where we are in the League, bar one team, we can only play those below us. Clearly if those clubs perceive themselves as not being any good, as reflected in their respective league positions, that is their problem. it will be a tough game though.

 

[Fatlad666]

Strange bunch , thank you Roygbiv for your time and effort sir

 

[derbysufc]

Still say now
Leeds 1-1, v blades
Our 1st defeat will be boro away

You wouldn't warm to them if you lived in donny pal, surrounded by total arrogance and full of gob shites. When they win on Friday it's only a matter of how many points they win the league by. Can think of another team not too far away with similar fans.

 

[dn5 shaun]

And if your going on Friday I'm sure you'll see how much they will warm to you

Cheers Roy not he usual rhetoric and bile from the weeds
