Confess your unpopular opinions regarding SUFC

[super_pig]

I think we should take on 'The Pigs' moniker for real. Settle the argument and be The Pigs. Be proud of it and accept what we are. We could have fluffy stuffed pig key rings with blades hats on. Violent looking muscle pigs on t-shirts, with "We are the Pigs and We're Coming for You!" emblazoned on the front in a kind of tattoo-style with ribbons and swords.

Really take it on and commercialise it.

Though it would probably irk those in S6 and then they'd be arguing that they were the real pigs.

yeah.. then they'd 'want' to be the pigs if we did it. perceptive post mate

Ok I'll put this out there. I detest Tony Currie. Horrible man.

There is no such colour as 'wednesday' blue, or Chelsea blue, or Colchester blue, or United blue.
I think it's fooking pathetic that we have an aversion to a colour just because our rivals home shirts contain it.
If we had an away shirt in blue, it would say to the other lot that they don't own the sole rights to the colour, and that the Mighty Blades will play in whatever colour we want.

hmm .. no actually the shades are specific pantone colours.. hence the outrage about Liverpools shirt the other season being 'too red'

 

[super_pig]

And the player or players who wore a Blades shirt and who were better than TC are ...............?

absolutely no-one

Who's lying ? I fucking hate the Wilder love-in that some fans have with him.

Wouldn't disagree with that and the proof is out there, he's been here 2 years and had 2 new contracts. I know people argue that we need to keep him but that doesn't mean he should screw the club for more money at every opportunity.

Bladesmad in its hey day was the finest social media site for Sheffield United Football Club ....... ever . The influx of BM posters to this site has made it the best it's ever been but it's still miles behind where BM was in its prime .

The ' bigger blade ' bollox that's so frequently spouted on here is the work of full weight twats .

I agree with that.

We've had blue twice (albeit navy) in my lifetime and they're both my favourite ones. Sadly, our dopey fans have decided that they want radioactive flourescent shite as an away colour instead.

I despise Wednesday as much as the next decent, intelligent human being but it doesn't mean I hate the colour blue.

I always preferred the BladesUnited forum over Blades Mad, though the BladesUnited layout was bloody awful.

The 2002-3 Navy Blue offering was a personal favourite of mine. Memories of Steve Kabba speeding through the Rotherham defence at a soaked Millmoor in that kit amongst others.

Before the Premier League, I never saw Jags have a good game for us.

Disclaimers:

I was at uni for most of that time and didn’t go that often.
He always seemed to be at right back when I saw us and he was always out of position.
He is a very good footballer.

Fans forums are mainly attended by demented clapping seals loyal to McCabe who can't cope with any criticism of their beloved club.

Wednesday do not (and never have) played in South Barnsley. They play 2.5 miles outside of the city centre.

There is no such place as 'South Barnsley'. It is an exagerated construction used by our fans to mock our rivals for their geographical base. It is known as a 'joke'.

The Wednesday (note, not 'Sheffield Wednesday') moved to Owlerton in 1889 when it was OUTSIDE the city boundary. It became part of Sheffield in 1901, hence they moved out of the city. This is another exagerated construction given that they left Sheffield and moved slightly closer to Barnsley. You could say in fact, this is also a 'joke'.

As per the Wilder Updates thread, here's mine: Simon Moore is not good enough to be a top-10 Championship goalkeeper. Furthermore, George Long has the potential to be a better keeper than Moore.

In addition: the anniversary shirt was decent (if you got the sponsor-free version); luminous away shirts are cheap and nasty; Enda Stevens is a decent wing back and the upper tier of the Bramall Lane stand is the best place to watch a game from at the Lane.

He has got an annoying tone to his voice, still don't think he's from Sheffield either.

Yeh had four years living in Kent between 6-10 which is behind the twang. Depends on your definition of ‘from Sheffield’ is but being born here and living from 0-6 years - 10 onwards must be pretty close

He also went to Southampton fairly young and stayed there for a while.

Don't forget the Pig farm map joke. And the joke about Big Fat Ron being a racist. Or Les's Club 9 joke on his own fans. Or the betting scandal joke. Ooh err, hold on......
