A very cringeworthy but "typical" comedy act.

Me and the better half couldn't be bothered to cook this afternoon so I suggested going out for a pub meal, I thought I would buy myself some browny points pre christmas so I suggested I would drive and stick on the coca cola

Anyhow we got to the boozer, a nice little vintage inns boozer on the edge of sheffield on the route out towards Hathersage........it's funny because on the way in I saw no advertisements of the any comedians or family entertainment in the form a clown?.

Anyway we sit down and it's pleasant enough apart from this family over the other side of the room it was fairly empty which was nice, got served straight away and the food came rather quick and was fresh and nice.

Back to the comedian.........I couldn't help overhear.....well I say overhear the truth is that this bloke obviously couldn't hold in his 1 and a half pints of shandy and had a mouth that you could fit the eurostar into. Anyhow he was spouting off to who I could only imagine were his family about his away day at Watford yesterday and how they ran Watford off the pitch.

I bit my lip a little knowing I was with the missus I didn't want to ruin a nice quiet meal by pointing out a few "facts" about Wednesdays performance yesterday. Now i'm not into violence, never have been as a general rule and wasn't going to break this general rule in this situation it's only football after all plus I would much rather out smart a pig with my knowledge than get into fisticuffs.......therefore at this point I was rather eager to point out the fact that in all fairness yesterday Wednesday got a lucky result from a free kick and were hammered allover the pitch and had it not been for pathetic finishing they would have been dead and buried by half time. I mean the stats show only two shots in goal in 90 minutes........but in the true early spirit of Christmas I thought I would leave him to it and let him have his false glory as inaccurate as it all was.

And he went in for the finale, a comedy moment that would be enjoyed by every Blades fan throughout the world, his closing statement before I moved the missus closer to the bar so I didn't have to listen to the CUCKOO was.

"Look at our last three results! They show that we are better than anyone in this league (erm but you lost against forest? kind of flaws your argument). We are going to finish in the play-offs at least you watch (big ask but you can't knock ambition even if massively deluded)..........In fact fuck it we are going to get automatic have my word for it. After watching that yesterday we are a new team without jones and we are going to get automatics you watch (I nearly spit my coke out wanting to laugh and at this point one of his partly an elderly gentleman says don't be stupid to him)............He go carries on about how they could beat anyone in this league and were to be automatically promoted.

A couldn't help it I had to participate in this enthralling comedy performance so I politely butted into the conversation by saying "You reckon they will get automatic then pal?" he replies...."i'm telling ya, guaranteed mate.........we can beat anyone in this league"

I reply if you can beat anyone in this league then why have you only won like 2 or 3 games so far this season".........he stutters on that one and has to think of a response...........he replies "yes but that was then look at our last three results we are a different team now without jones.......we just beat 3 of the top teams in this division on the trot".

I reply "You lost against forest"............."no we didn't he snapped, we beat em, we beat Leicester, Forest and Watford.....I reply "I can assure you that you lost against forest". He quickly replies "we beat em".......at this point the elderly gentleman it his table intervenes and backs up my point and says in a more abrupt voice "they lost against forest so-en-so, he's reight"

At this point to clown closes the conversation with "Well i didnt go to that one so I dont know do i but I could have swore we beat em. Still beat Watford and Leicester though and still think we are going up".

100% CLOWN!

Might have been the same deluded bloke who rang P&G last night to convince everyone that they would finish in the top 3, but topped by the first caller who complained that the ref was crap, he let the bad fouls go, and booked the niggly little ones, turns out he hadn't been to the game and made his judgement from the radio commentary. Deluded isn't the word I would use for them.
 
I don't doubt the delusional are about, but you could equally have been listening to a very similar story from some fellow blades.
 
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude. Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding.
David Dunning and Justin Kruger of the Cornell University conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others".

Basically Blades are highly competent and are therefore generally over pessimistic and the dark side are incompetent and are always overly optimistic..... works for me anyway :D
 
Sounds like it could have been BTL's evil twin.
 
Wouldn't waste my breath on 'em frankly, the obnoxious deluded twats that they are :-)

That was a Blade 100%

He started by saying, it was great at Watford. We played in blue & white. The amount of people that i've spoke to now slagging this bloke off is unreal. It was clearly a wind up
 

  1. The blind guy says I might be blind but i could tell you any emblem on any ball in your shop, the assistant takes the blind man over to the footballs and hands him a ball, "What emblem's on that ball then?

    The blind man puts it to his ear and quickly says "Norwich", the assistant is amazed and asks the guy how he did it, the blind guy said "When I listen to the ball I could hear Canaries.

    The stunned shop assistant hands him another ball, the blind guy quickly says "Newcastle" and said he could hear the Magpies.

    The shocked Shop assistant hands him a third ball and in record time the blind man says, "Sheffield Wednesday", WOW the assistant says, "Did you hear Owls hooting?

    "No", the blind man replies, "That one was the easiest as it's going down...It had to be Wednesday!!!
