<< Parts of the Belgian media are currently rather interested in Sheffield United.

With Belgian club Beerschot Wilrijk recently announcing HRH Prince Abdullah Bin Mosa’ad Abdulaziz Al Saud as an investor, and with the Saudi now looking to take his 50% Sheffield United stake to 100%, there’s a link.

This is what prompted Gazet van Atwerpen to send a journalist to Yorkshire to see what they could find out about the owner, and to watch the victory over Leeds United. That resulted in a big article this week, which is really more about Sheffield United as a club and the culture, it seems like the journalist fell a little bit in love with aspects of the Blades and their support ETC >>

The best line:

He is the boss of the largest producer of toilet paper in the world. And everyone needs that. Every time someone clears his hole, United becomes richer again.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Clears their hole? Wednesday fans hate Leeds more than us? Who was this guy talking to?

‘Never make the mistake of ordering a chip butty when you are in Sheffield. It is no more than a double buttered toast with greasy fries in between.’

C'mon, own up. Who parred off the foreigner with two slices of Mighty White and kebab house chips?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Magnet.

Settled.

I suspect he used the kiosk on the Kop. Dry breadcake would feel toasted although it was a decentish day as he never mentioned chips frozen in the middle. No mayo probably did it though.

"We're all illiterate kidney punching disabled orphan assaulting Scum, who mocked poor Coventry fans" said Blades fan "Danny".....

Love me some of that old fashioned Bramall Roar.

It's funny how much of a different aesthetic Billy Sharp's name has without the "y".

 

[Sean Thornton]

Love me some of that old fashioned Bramall Roar.

It'll be "too fast"

 

[bromtom]

Get him back and send him to a proper chippy, our food is already laughed at by Europe without them badmouthing our chip butties too.

Nice to see a bit of coverage though, even if it is in Belgium, thank fuck he found some sensible Blades to talk to.

[FinchleyBlade]

What is this 'Bramall roar' Mark is speaking of?

I don't think he's been to many home games this season...

“So now (the day of the Leeds match), every Wednesday fan hates Leeds more than United.”

No they don’t

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Interesting how The Leeds match and the atmosphere gets a positive write-up from a foreign journalist, when this forum has been full of complaints about the lack of atmosphere...

 

[Grecian2000]

Schoolboy error I think Raulers. I'm much happier with "so called fan". I think "fan" implies so called if it's in quotes.

It's a bit disappointing it's fallen out of use, almost, over the last season or so. Used to really enjoy it's many different forms.
Sadly we seem to be stuck with the knobheads having a go at anyone over 45 for not singing, rather than the more vitriolic "so called" option.

But imagine watching Kortrijk vs Waasland Beveren from the 'Leffe end'.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Belgian journalist Patrick Vincent has clearly been impressed by the Kop, even if he does say it’s ‘f***ing this, f***ing that’ all the time.

The Bramall roar when ‘local lad Bill Sharp’ scored against Leeds United is highlighted for the Belgian audience, as, once again, is the chant, with made Vincent’s hair stand on end.

The above must be fake news as it was reported on here and RS by a United fan from Wakefield phoning in to say that the atmosphere was pretty quiet on the Kop.

When does a ‘so-called fan’ become a fan, by your criteria then?

Too much waffle, not enough maggots!

“So now (the day of the Leeds match), every Wednesday fan hates Leeds more than United.”

No they don’t

I do think that Wednesday fans seem to dislike Leeds more than we do Leeds for some reason. My mates who are Wendies have said they don't like Leeds almost as much as us, whereas to be honest although I don't like Leeds, beating them is not almost as good as beating Wednesday.

When Leeds play Wednesday I always want Leeds to win unless it benefits us for Wednesday to win. I guess because we don't have to share a city with Leeds fans whereas we obviously do with the pigs and Leeds have actually some reasons to be arrogant whereas Wednesday don't and yet are equally arrogant.

 

[Bladesman]

I don't remember fucking this and that at a match.

I was there to watch the football.

 

[Groucho Blade]

Nice article but someone tell him it’s ‘come fill me again’

You fill up my senses...
...Come fill me again

 

[TTMeysh]

No-one coming from a country where they dispense droopy chips with mayonnaise out of vending machines can criticise the peerless Chip Butty.
