Do you work in a Unitedite or Wednesdayite office?

Thankfully the majority of my work colleagues are Unitedites, so we can either celebrate together next Monday morning or console each other. Unfortunately last time round I was in a Wednesdayite office and had to put my up with 'banter' for weeks after the two defeats. If we win next week I will regret not being there back for revenge!
 



Mostly Wednesday at amine but the boss is a blade. I've not really mentioned the derby yet but the other day one of the Wednesday lads asked me if I was looking forward to it. I said yes, obviously. When I asked him, he said he was scared. He was sure they'd beat us 3 or 4 nil, "but anything can happen in football." Add it all up and I don't think he's very confident at all.
 
Thankfully neither of them. I sit next to a fulham fan on one side and a scunny fan on the other, both of them hate SWFC and Leeds so Monday mornings are always pleasant :D There wont be any piss taking next week if we lose!
 
Our transplant has gone from 1 Wendy, to 4 blades in the space of 7mnths!
Foundry manager is Wendy, but overall were level pegging on bodies, we just smash them when we look at IQ!!
 
I work for Royal Mail so it is a mixture although I know more Wendy fans (particularly two of them who always discuss football in a honest way) but they aren't as cocky as most in North Korea Talk
 
Neither, most of those at uni don't follow football or follow someone generic like Man Utd or Liverpool.

I hate it how people follow a football club nowhere near where they're from. On another note, isn't Clive Mendonca before your time? :)
 
A few part time Wendy but plenty of non football fans. 1 Blade who hasnt been since Jock Dodds was a lad.

Whatever happens won't impact the atmosphere in my office in truth.

I preferred it years ago when it would even if it meant risking ridicule.
 
One Wednesday fan who watches a couple a season. Banter is non existent.

Two Blades who seem to have near zero interest.

Better than the Man Utd 'fan' from Rotherham who I used to work with.

It's a r8 shithouse at my place for football conversation. I don't work in an office so at least I don't have to sit next to the fuckers all day.
 
Man Yoo, Leicester, Villa & Newcastle in my office.....no Wendies or Blades......but I do work in Northamptonshire!
 
Pigs at work haven't said a fucking bean all season so far. If they go above us at some point that will change obviously- they're so full of shit. Can't talk footy with them as they just spurt bollocks
 



At school it was always slightly more Blades than Owls
And at my various work sites it's always been more Blades than Owls.
Although half of them rarely go to matches, so are they supporters?
 
My immediate office has 1 Sri Lankan, 1 Colombian, 2 Indians and a Philipino. Based on the pig claims of having a million fans around the world I expect they are born and bred pigs but I haven't asked. Wider than that there's a Derby fan, Forest fan and a Hull fan in the next office along but they are all proper ex-pats so probably haven't been for years.
 
Fucking surrounded by cheating spammer fans would you believe, oh and one spurs fan. After all these years the tevez affair still pisses me off, and all they can say is,they paid us for it, suck it up and forget about it, NEVER.
And of course they hope the pigs smash us.
 
More United fans at our office, at least that I know of. The Wednesday fans who are there are a level headed bunch to be fair, which shocked me when I started.
 
Work: in Ireland so it's all Man U, Liverpool & a few arsenal & Chelsea.

School/friends: mostly pig. Being from chapeltown/high green meant I was in the minority growing up.

Family: mostly pig. When my grandad passed away Nan remarried a pig & therefore uncles, cousins etc have curly tails. Stepdad & his family are also pig. Leaving me, my dad & my son as Blades.

This weekend means so fucking much to me!!!
 
I was doing some training at a Travel company in Glasgow a few years ago and the subject turned to football, we were having a laugh about Sheffield football and football up in Glasgow, Rangers, Celtic and all that, i was getting funny looks from the manager. After about 20 mins i got pulled into the office and told in no uncertain terms to stop football talk as it was banned in the office. One side of the open plan office was Rangers and the other half Celtic and fights had regularly broken about over a bit of friendly banter, to the point they'd had to call the police in to split it up (there were about 200 plus members of staff).
 
Mainly grunters in my team unfortunately, but the building as a whole seems more fairly split.
No worries though, I get on spectacularly well with most of them and most can see the bigger picture with a love of football first and foremost. There is one though who I dislike and they seem to genuinely hate United. Naturally I enjoy winding that one up the most.
 
At my office we have Leeds, Bradford, Barnsley- the odd Man Yoo and Liverpool but no Pigs at all.

Oh and 1 other Blade aside from myself.
 
The in-laws are the problem for me, horrible die-hard pigs the lot of them. My wife doesn't care about football otherwise we'd argue about it all the time as well. I get random pictures on the anniversary of this and that (normally the cup semi, them getting promoted, boxing day etc) sent me all the time from them, what would be best for me is if we win and I can take the high ground and not resort to sending them pictures, that will annoy them more than me giving it the big one. If they win they will be all over it like the set of classless pigs they are.
 
4 Chelsea 2 Spurs one reading, two Man U and 1 Watford and of course with me One Blade :)

but I work In Langley just out side Slough so was always going to be the way.
 
The guys in my office are just getting their excuses in. 2 are saying they are going to batter us but lose because they are unlucky.

Not being able to kill off games is not unlucky I keep telling them
 
Working in Huddersfield, I've got an Arsenal fan (who has bought a Huddersfield ST to go with his step-dad this season), a Man Utd fan (who tbf to him has had a ST since he was a lad) an Everton fan (family ties) and a Halifax fan. It works out pretty well as there's a good mix of piss-taking and a bit of affection for each other's clubs. Halifax have sort of become everyone's 2nd club which is a new experience for me.
