A bit of a no-win Derby now

[metalblade]

I know what your saying GCB this time keeping it to a 3-0 defeat will be a moral victory to most pig fans. To me that is a load of bollocks after today if they have anything about them they will show a reaction, how many times do teams lose 5 on the trot ? If we don't turn up with our "A" game them lucky bastards will do us.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Are you fucking INSANE!??
If we beat them 5-0 it will be sang about for the next 100 years!
Do you think when our grandkids look back on it they will say "they were on a bad run of form and lost 4-0 the week before though"?

What a weird way of thinking, how pessimistic can you be? Let's get them battered.

OK 5-0 then, but you think that will happen?
More likely a win by a 1 or 2 goal margin if at all.
That's what makes it a no-win, or should I say a no-lose for them when it comes to bragging rights.
Say what you like, if we narrowly beat them, it won't be the same as beating them when they are being all cocky and deluded.

 

[Pierre's PC]

Coupled with the fact that in the villages of Bradfield, Outibridge, Stocksbridge, Chapeltown and Grenoside it won't have actually happened

Like marriage outside of the family

Mate their arrogance will always be there. They won't change, it's in their DNA. They will always have an answer for whatever happens, they will always find an exquse... truth is, it's a massive opportunity to humiliate them and I for one hope we take it.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

I seem to remember Bristol Rovers coming to the Lane a week after they'd lost 9-0 '77/'78
At the start of the game were singing 'We want 10, we want 10'
We drew 1-1 with them (they went on to finish 5th bottom)

 

[The Hobott]

Yes they're not great at the moment but rather than worry about that isn't this where we try and put the proverbial foot on their neck?

 

[blader]

It’s the absolute opposite, it’s no-lose in real terms.

If we win, then we will go top, we will have won the Derby AND contributed to their further demise.

If we don’t, we are still miles ahead of them and that one result would be a slight glint of hope in an otherwise turbulent period for the club. They will still be shit.

Honestly, I love having them as rivals. They have shot themselves kn the foot so badly these last 18 months - it’s kncredible! I won’t list all the reasons (we all know) but they are a gift that continues to give.

SWFC are the best rivals you could wish for - FACT.

 

[Stretch]

Every game against them is a must win, always has been and always will be, regardless of what else might be going on for either club.

 

[rednwhitedogs]

Friday will be won by the Sheffield peoples club. The team that play for their fans and their city. The team that play for each other. The only team in Sheffield that put in 100% every week UTB

 

[Sheff de party]

I'm not saying I don't want to win mate. I just feel we'd need to win about 70-0 to be able to 'give it to them'
Maybe I didn't express myself well enough. Nowt new there then!

Haha. Imagine if it was 70-0. Even 7-0. Now that would be something.

I appreciate what you’re saying, was trying to cheer you up! Mainly before the excruciating week of nerves kick In.

One thing that makes me feel better is if there’s a single player in that dressing room who doesn’t know what this means to the fans, Billy and CW will be letting them know about it!

Form book goes out of the window in derby games. We aren't as good as we think we are and they aren't as bad as they are displaying. Will not be as routine as we think.

Exactly this.

Although we can be as good as we think we are, on our day.

And it sounds like they were as bad as they think they are today.

But I still agree with your point.

However, can you imagine if we were as good as we think we are, and they were as bad as they think they are, next Friday...

An if they are at their best and we are at our worst next week? I will not be happy with 4-0.

Was just trying to be positive, as we should be in our position. However I share your apprehension, hence my first two words.

 

[SB_90]

its a win derby because we have to win not only for the league which I feel is unprecented as I said on different thread top 5 12 months ago was seprated by 9pts this season after 16 its 2 points. but also for everyone who on Saturday Sunday Monday has to get to home work other & want the bragging rights. I think last 4 games 1st half v derby & 2nd half v wigan we have played anywhere near how we can

no game is a gimme. just look at wigan v man city in FA cup last season that was a game no-one outside of wigan & probally 95% of wigan thought they had no chance & they won. upsets happen & if they get the 1st goal. it will be very tough

 

[Sheffsteel]

Win and what? They are expecting it, the bookies are expecting it, they are in turmoil and for once, a defeat against us is more likely to be met with a 'couldn't care at the moment' response. It might even end up being welcomed in a way, if it means Chancer making changes that they think will rescue their season.
A defeat on the other hand.....furkinell, could you imagine them if they beat us after what they've seen other teams do to them recently?
Not looking forward to this one at all.
Please tell me I'm wrong.

Think you’ve let yourself get brainwashed.
They are down playing their chances and building us up for the fall, it’s the oldest trick in the book.

Front runner for stupidest thread of 2018

Got some fucking red hot competition to be fair.

Hey, thanks for your efforts mate.
Sadly a bit too late to prevent the nerves kicking in though. That happened about 2 minutes after the fixtures were released!
7-0 would be nice wouldn't it?
But then, as our friends and neighbours, maybe we should be a little benevolent and say 7-1.......nah f**k 'em, 7-0!!

They will score at least once.

Along with every other chant theyve sung over the years it's been stolen or reapropriated from somewhere else

[norfolkblade]

A no win derby?

Christ just look at the scenes when they won 0-0 against us last season. Imagine if they actually managed to score more goals than us, it'd be pandemonium.

Nah. Fuck that.

Please don't let our fans sing this. It would be embarrassing if we do.

 

[Danny_Boy]

I hate losing but actually the loss against Forest yesterday has made me feel a bit better about Friday. We won’t get complacent & Wilder will be looking for a reaction. I’d guess Wednesday will put 11 men behind the ball and play for a 0-0 and we have to be careful we don’t get done by a wonder goal. But on current form their defence will struggle against our movement & intricate play. We should really beat them & beat them comfortably but it’s a derby & anything can happen. I’ve never gone to a derby game confident.

On yer own, on yer own, on yer own.....


There is no way I'm singing or doing that, that would be as lame as them singing the GCB

 

[west_yorks_blade]

We need to treat them with kindness.

They’re hurting at the moment and have just been horribly thrashed.

Let’s show some common decency and go easy on them. And if we do win, show restraint in our celebrations.

We wouldn’t like it if the shoe was on the other foot. Treat other people as you wish to be treated.

Don’t fall for all the pigs rhetoric.. you should hammer us 3 or 4 blah blah fuckin blah .. there doing anything to to soften any poss defeat or if we’re lucky a hammering ( which I don’t think it’ll be ) .. any win at anytime against those wankers is sweet .. just remember all the shit they’ve been spouting in the past and particularly when we were in the ‘ pub league’
I’ll take any win against them even if comes from a 22 rebound own goal off the woodwork.. hopefully we’ll heap more misery on the suicidal porkers

 

[nopigfansintown]

There is no such thing as a noo win derby. For either side. Any win will do for us Blades.
