5 Live EFL preview

[Sparky]

just listened to the whole of 5 Live’s EFL preview with 2 hours on the Championship. Call me paranoid but the only mention of the words Sheffield United was when they finished the interview with the Swansea manager and they said they start away at Sheffield United. In depth discussion on just about every other team.

So long as the top 6 PL clubs like us and keep loaning us their best young players, I couldn't give a flying fuck what some 29's something tv exec from London thinks about us...

 

[Harry's Game]

Did they mention Sheffield Embargo FC ?

 

[Blade58]

We're under the radar

All good

 

[Sparky]

Did they mention Sheffield Embargo FC ?

Yes. One of the idiots hosted their 150th anniversary dinner Said what a shame it was that Sheffield hadn’t seen Premier League football for 19 years or however long it was since they were last there! Clearly we are both under the radar and invisible.

Five Live just going thought the motions as The Premier League is still over a week away.

Five Live cover most other sports pretty well but it’s Football coverage is lamentable, it’s just Premiership, Premiership, Premiership.

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Same shit coverage, season after season.
Fuck em

And long may it continue in my honest opinion..

 

[Pinchy]

A lot of hacks don’t realise there was football before the Premier League I’m afraid. Hence the phenomenon of specious “Premier League records” for goals, appearances and all sorts of shite.

Exactly; unrelenting, derivative shite.The BBC in general is a cess pit at the moment.

 

[bromtom]

The BBC really couldn't give a toss about the EFL. Look at their league cup coverage, it's like they don't want to be there until the final.

They don't even have the right badge for us.

Not knowing we were in the Prem somewhat recently is a bit of an oversight even for them though.

 

[Roygbiv]

I don't even know why they pretend they care.

 

[Topplayersleave]

Let them keep ignoring us.
I watched a special programme on Sky a few months ago showing a load of Premier League action from the beginning in 1992 through to about 1996. It must have been on for about three hours.

Brian Deane first ever Premier League goal not shown
No action from ANY Sheffield Derby shown

A one second clip of a goal scored by Dane Whitehouse was the only mention we got and they couldn't even be bothered to show the build up, just Dane Whitehouse sticking the ball in the net.

I started to get really suspicious about conspiracy theories, and this was made worse when they didn't even show a goal scored AGAINST us.

It was as though they'd deliberately erased us

I'm not even sure why you still bother.

Nobody's forgotten you're a pig.

It's because it makes their life so much easier if history only goes back about 30 years!
Makes you appreciate our own Silent Blade so much more

 

[Bath Blade]

Rather than the 5live preview where the panel ‘experts’ have barely heard of most of the teams they’re discussing, try the excellent Not the Top 20 podcast. They’ve got us staying stable in 10th, with Wednesday somewhere in lower mid table, Brentford in 3rd and Hull, Reading and Bolton going down.

 

[PaulHalfway]

Well I suppose we are viewed as a mid table team, no big expensive signings, not going to be in the promotion mix so for anyone outside Sheffield not really that much interest

To save you from the wrath of PeterNdlovu081 its Premier League, Premier League, Premier League.

 

[I should coco]

At the end they they even had the cheek to say 'we haven't forgotten anyone have we..'.

Yes. One of the idiots hosted their 150th anniversary dinner Said what a shame it was that Sheffield hadn’t seen Premier League football for 19 years or however long it was since they were last there! Clearly we are both under the radar and invisible.

It was 'Clem' who knows everyone in the lower leagues and everyone loves him. Really loves him.
A legend in his own mind.

The only mainstream presenter/pundit who has any grasp of life outside the Prem, is Colin Murray. Despite being a Liverpool fan and not everyone's cup of tea, he knows his stuff and importantly, covers the smaller clubs too.

Most of the rest are just lazy. They know a few big names (hence Villa were favourites last season because of John Terry), so then pontificate from a base of bugger all knowledge.

The more the BBC and other media wankers ignore us the better it is.

Do t forget that Lineker said at half time in Mexico v Germany, that Germany won the 1998 World Cup.
Then tried to deny it.
Fucking idiot.

Not a thing we'll ever need to worry about then.

You’ll find that as you get older, you’ll make those kind of mistakes.

Topplayersleave Top players leave even has the current pigs situation as a user name.

 

[Sparky]

They’ve reported Woodburn’s Signing on every news bulletin today. Be nice to think my indignent text to them last night pricked their conscience. But maybe not!

 

[HighfieldBlade]

The more the BBC and other media wankers ignore us the better it is.

It's heading that way. This season's Championship highlights will be on Quest.
