Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Wednesday

[brownblade]

I can't wait to watch a Global Presence™ at the Lane on Sunday.

 

[Stretch]

A pathetic bunch of losers. Imagine trying to pretend this fixture doesn't mean anything. Some of their Owl supporting ancestors must be turning in their graves.

We win, and it's a "pyrhic" victory, but if they win, draw or even score a goal, they will be singing about it for generations.

Chansiri, and their own arrogance has driven most of them mad. I hope we bury the cunts.

 

[shorehamview]

Sweet lord, where do we start with that lot? There's some proper loons in there, picking one out is like sticking your hand in a bucket of diamonds and pulling out a diamond.

 

[Balham]

That's just made be angry. I absolutely despise them.

That's not me being obsessed. It's embarrassment at their fuckin arrogance.

4 League titles and 4 cups versus 1 League title and 4 cups - 12 of those 13 shared honours were 91+ years ago - They go on like they're decorated like Liverpool FFS.

When did it become a rule that we're no longer allowed to celebrate beating them BTW? Was it after the 2-4 at Hillsborough.
If the shoe was on the other foot, they'd shout about it no end.

I'm just gutted that Wilder allowed them those three 0-0 wins.

Copium by the tankerload over on Porktalk.

It's 3 FA cups for them by the way. Their League Cup victory was the bookend of a period which saw such luminaries as Oxford United, Norwich City and Luton Town win it. It was also 35 years ago this season: since they binned off Bannan they no longer have any players alive when they won it; only Ben Mee in our squad was alive and he was 20 months old.

 

[TJB.]

I always approach these games with a level head, just wanting to pick up the win and get it out of the way.

Then I read the mountain of arrogant nonsense they spout about themselves and the baseless drivel they spew about us, and I can't help but wish for us to slap the living piss out of them on the pitch.

They just live in a different stratosphere. Bunch of jebsniffers, the lot of 'em.

 

[Large Mendonca]

If anyone, in a moment of temporary weakness, feels sorry for them in any way - just read that “view from”……

Wankers and hope they rot.

 

[Chief]

“The end of one of their best period in their history leaves them... a mid-table Championship club with two disastrous premier campaigns and one failed play-off campaign.”

Not sure a club with a league title, four FA cups, and the majority of its history in the top flight would call 3 seasons out of 10 in the Prem one of the 'best periods in their history'.

I'll accept its the best period this millennium, and we've nothing show... but thats still 3 more top flight visits than they've had in 25 years. We've been up there more seasons than they've even managed to get in the top 6.

I'll also give them 2 embarrassing rock bottom finishes in the Prem... but come the end of the season they'll have finished rock bottom of the Championship twice.

Muppet.

 

[BalticBlade]

They keep banging on about having a team 'full of kids'. The average age of their starting XI last weekend was 25. In comparison, the average age of our starting XI last weekend was (checks notes)... 25!

 

[Cheesebored]

The irony of the Karma comment can't be lost on them, surely. They're right that what goes around comes around and nows their time to suffer. Let the bastards have it both barrels.

Muppet.

Its their new lie. This is United's best period in our entire history. They all know it's not true but they keep saying it because they're really, really upset

 

[TJB.]

I like the bit where the fella outlines how we outperform them on pretty much every metric going but goes on to say Wednesday are still the better club.

 

[CrookesBlade]

That's just made be angry. I absolutely despise them.

I think it goes back to at least 2005. When we beat them at the Lane with an Alan Quinn goal I remember seeing their supporters celebrating because we hadn’t battered them.

Similarly in 2009 both sets of fans were celebrating at the end of the 3-2 Blades win at the lane. Us because we’d actually won the game and them because they got a couple of goals back.

 

[LurkerBlade]

90% of this sounds like being drunk in the pub with a mate and you're trying to make him believe that the girl that just dumped him isn't worth it, all the while knowing she is a 10 and he's never gone get anything better.

We will send them down and it will be a glorious party.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

First! From down under.

Oh boy they're disillusioned

 

[Carlton Blade]

Obviously, no View From should we lose or draw so hopefully see you all on Sunday evening

Pre-Match View From Wednesday — The View From

"Realistically, it’s likely to be a difficult scoreline for us. Wilder will have them well organised and highly motivated, so they’ll probably start with intensity.I expect we’ll be competitive for a spell, particularly if we stay disciplined and compact. However, over the course of 90 minutes...

It's not even the biggest derby this season. I've still not seen a single person claim this is more than a great opportunity to laugh at them

 

[Davalon]

Actually agree with some of the stuff about relegation. It's like kicking a dog after the vet has just given the injection to put it to sleep.

But my God, and they wonder why we talk about delusion.

Global presence LMFAO

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

I really feel that they should stop celebrating the 93 cup semifinal given the disparity in the two squads.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Apart from the first comment which is reasonable they still are the deluded wankers that they always are & will be .
Trying to play down that a Sheffield derby means nothing to them while cowering behind the settee .
If we do hammer them & personally I don’t think we will as it will their players last game of relevance this season , I won’t give 2 monkeys fucks if they’ve fielded a side from tea ladies & the Under 8’s , the history books only remember the result

Weve won more FA cups than them.... which is by far the most prestigious cup competition in Britain. Its also 2nd to winning Premier league.

Like you say they go on about history yet majority of their fans base now has never seen them in the Premier league, its the last old guards that's clinging on to their over inflated success years.... which makes it worse that its 50-70 year olds are going off like that.

 

[Tarqs]

These lot are just fucking nuts.

On one hand we're so far ahead of them, celebrating a win against them is 'tinpot'.... yet they still perceive themselves as the greater club.

So... what exactly is it?

The very definition of tinpot, they're fucking irrelevant.

 

[Harry's Game]

 

[TCsLoveChild]

Am I the only one getting second hand embarrassment for them? It’s like watching an episode of The Office, you can’t help laughing but you feel bad for doing it. UTB

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

The same individuals who claim the game doesn't matter and that we are tinpot presumably wouldn't celebrate like deluded fuckwits if they actually got a result?

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Of course I'd be thrilled to send you down and talk about it for years to come you silly sausages.
Call me out as much as you want for that.
Oh, and while you're at it, call me out for remembering that in the last 12 months, we've won more games at your ground than you have!

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Come on own up who are the United fans that would rather relegate them then go up ?


Just for the record I couldn’t care less if we relegate them or not they are just another club to me. Admittedly a deluded scrounging whining club who play in a awful dump of a stadium, they are totally irrelevant to me and probably every other football fan out side of Sheffield.

 

[metty]

Cheers Roy

 

[SwissBlade]

That was such a hard read. I've read less arrogance in the views from actual big clubs, when we were having our disastrous premier campaigns (one of which was top 10 disaster levels)

From this I've concluded that they're not bothered as they're the greater club and they, Chansiri FC are on -7 so they've been down all season.... something, something they'll be back. Apologies to Roygbiv for having to trawl through the trough to find these absolute gems, but i couldn't read to the end.

I did think that this stood out though:

“The end of one of their best period in their history leaves them………….a mid-table Championship club.
With two disastrous premier campaigns and one failed play-off campaign.

Right now, they can only dream of this "best period in their (our) history in their future. The pig mentality summed up right there.

Didn’t wanna win. Next.

 

[MKY]

“even now in our lowest ebb and their highest peak, they are nowhere near us. This Sunday will at best for them be a Pyrrhic victory. . Trophies, global presence, history set, recency of historical significance, overall highs are much higher, overall lows are still higher, legendary players in their own right, stronger community engagement. They are the better team and “franchise” right now, but Wednesday are the greater club. “

The deludamol is strong within this one…..

 

[mattbianco1]

I asked Co-Pilot to summarise it. Even Artificial Intelligence is laughing at them

Here’s the emotional temperature of that thread in a nutshell — and it’s a fascinating mix of bravado, fatalism, bitterness, gallows humour, and a few flashes of honesty.

“The Five Stages of Wednesday Fan Derby Grief”​

1. Denial​

“We’re not bothered.”
“We stopped caring in August.”
“This isn’t even a derby, really.”

Translation: They are absolutely, 100%, deeply, spiritually bothered.

2. Anger​

Directed at:

• Sheffield United
• Chansiri
• The universe
• The concept of football
• Anyone who mentions the word “relegation” within a 12‑mile radius

The vibe is: “United celebrating this is like bragging about beating a toddler at arm wrestling.” Which is a bold statement from a fanbase currently being pinned by said toddler.

3. Bargaining​

“If we lose, it doesn’t matter.”
“If we win, it’ll be the funniest thing since Carlos’ Wembley dance.”
“If we lose by fewer than four, that’s basically a win.”

This is the emotional equivalent of trying to haggle with fate at a car boot sale.

4. Depression​

A deep, existential sadness hangs over the thread like fog over the Snake Pass. Comments include:

• “We’ve been relegated since the warm-up of the first game.”
• “I checked out months ago.”
• “I’m only going for the beer.”

This is the kind of melancholy that can only be cured by a 94th‑minute shinner off someone’s backside.

5. Acceptance (with banter)​

The final stage. The Wednesday fan superpower. The gallows humour that has carried them through decades of emotional cardio.

Examples:

• “Let’s take inflatable ostriches and bounce even when we’re 3–0 down.”
• “They’ll make a DVD if they beat us.”
• “We’re the bigger club anyway.”

It’s like watching a man fall down a flight of stairs while insisting he meant to do it.

Bonus Themes​

The “We’re Massive” Defence Mechanism​

When the football is bad, the history gets louder. It’s like a forcefield powered by 1990s nostalgia.

The “We Don’t Care” Chorus​

Repeated roughly every three comments. Always a sign that they care more than oxygen.

The Tiny, Forbidden Hope​

A whisper in the wind: “What if… we actually win?” Quickly drowned out by: “Shut up, you’ll jinx it.”

​

In short: The mood is a chaotic blend of despair, bravado, self‑mockery, and the kind of humour you develop only after years of emotional relegation cardio.

It’s Sheffield Wednesday fans doing what they do best: suffering loudly, joking through the pain, and secretly dreaming of limbs in the away end.
