Following from Ollessendros W******** afternoon thread (sorry couldn’t bring myself to say the word), just a bit of fun.
You see Ollessendro states he would be happy for us to lose 5-0 to the pigs if it meant Blackwell would be sacked, ''Hypothetical situation (or maybe not completely so)''.
He does live away and cannot be going to the game or he would never have asked that question. (Assumption by me). We are a diverse bunch us Blades and long may it continue and 'We're all Blades aren’t we?' So just 2 questions.

1. Do the Blades fans who wish us to lose to gain something else outside of victory on the pitch against the pigs need a little re education?

2. Do we dilute our feelings about gaining a victory over the pigs (and a double taken back in 1 year) for some sort of political gain off the pitch?
 

no .. sorry olle but i disagree with you on this one.. we need to beat the pigs five nil.. so they get RELEGATED :-)

Oh Boo you are a naughty boy!!?

Did you not work out how to add the poll application!? :p
 
Hoping we lose in order to gain something is fatally flawed. How about hoping we win every game so that we dont need to change the Manager ?
 
Olle needs a lot of re-educating if he wants us to loose 5-0 just to get Blackwell sacked.

It was all hypothetical and my commment was extreme. I do not want us to lose. It was merley an example of stating how much I think that we need a change at the helm and then gaging how much others felt the same way.

How exactly do I need re-educating? The same way the stuffed pig was beaten outside Weatherspoons at Palace last year??

It would be agony to lose to Wednesday by that margin. I would be miserable for months. But it shows how strong my feelings are that Blackwell is not the right manager and is wasting all our time.

Yes it says this 'Hypothetical situation (or maybe not competely so)' you also back your point up later by saying you would take a 5-0 loss to get rid of Blackwell. Are you now withdrawing from this comment?
 
I'm still bearing the mental scars from 1950 when Wednesday pipped the Blades to promotion on goal average (0.008 of a goal I think).

I don't think we've ever had the pleasure of sending them down. I might be tempted to dance in the streets if we do.

No I'm not retracting my statement. I would take a 5-0 defeat to get rid of Blackwell. I think that it would make a massive difference to the club to get a new manager in. Hence I'd take the pain of a defeat to the pigs for that purpose. Doesn't mean I want to lose to them of course.
 
Things arn't that bad that we need to lose to the piggies. In fact I can't think of a situation where we would ever want to lose to them?

The manager is not a bad guy just needs to grow some balls and play some footie instead of his percentage game.

Come on Blackie sort it and we'd all love you.

Honest.
 
I'd rather we smashed them 5-0 to help them with their push for relegation personally! get the double back within one year, and laugh at the pigs, UTB!!
 
Said it before and say it again, he should get the boot - minimum requirement was play-offs, not getting there, so even if we win 4 straight games to round off the season, he should still go. I would never condone anyone wanting us to lose to them to get a manager sacked.

Well said... understand that the whole thing is hypothetical (or not according to some...) but I can't think of how this would be a good thing. It would make whats been an average season into an awful one. Chances are we wouldn't appoint a new manager for the last few games so it'd be a confused mess of a final run in, The Swine would probably stay up thanks to the the three points and they'd be singing and shouting about it all through the summer.
 
5-0 loss against anyone else yes, against them no. The haunting memory of such a loss would remain long after the memory of Blackwell flaws.
 
''I'd take a 5-0 pounding if it meant getting rid of Blackwell.''

Olle you said that. Now as you'd say if the Genie came out of the bottle and said to you ''Olle if United lose 5-0 to pigs Blackwell will be sacked and i can make that happen. Is that what you want?''. What would your answer be? just a straight yes or no to the genie please, no ducking, diving or any other avoidance answers please.
 

Losing 5-0?

Even hypothetically speaking, this has obviously been uttered by some young whippersnapper who wasn't around for the Boxing Day Massacre and subsequent aftermath. Any Blade who has suffered that over the years would never, ever entertain an even worse scenario, whatever outcome that brought!

Feck me Ollie!!! Some of us have still got mental scars from the last hiding we took at theirs, and that was 30 friggin years ago.!!!

You need some serious aversion therapy to get such bizarre thoughts from your head. Electrodes, testicles, that sort of thing...

No Olle not quite the same way.
Check out what these fellow Blades are saying.

I may be wrong but i bet your one of our younger members. Now those of us that were there in 1979 would wish to educate you in how painful that was. You living out of the area has dimmed your feelings as to what it means to beat S6 shit. So we will put our arms around you and accept that your perspective has been altered through lack of regular contact with the unclean. We understand that you have done your best to keep up the intensity of feelings towards the Blades by being a member of this forum.Please understand this.
IT WILL NEVER BE ACCEPTABLE TO LOOSE TO THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. I think that is the re-educate part.
If I have not quite summed up - or spoke out of turn in a presumptuous manner for those who were there with me i apologise.
 
Losing 1-0, 2-0, 5-0 or whatever are all unthinkable.

I think Olle needs his head reading on this one.

I don't want Blackwell anywhere near my football team, but I also don't want us to lose just to get him the sack. I'd much rather we absolutely trounced the pigs with a style of football akin to that of Barca, Monty doing a 'Messi' with Blackie coming on the radio at the end and stating thats the minimum standard for every game from now on and giving Monty a new contract there and then....

Yep, you raise some very valid factors. I am 27 and don't live in Sheffield. Hence I don't have to face Wednesday fans every day and I wasn't around for the drubbing you speak of. I remember living in South Yorkshire and it was always horrible when they beat us. I hated facing people every day and therefore sympathise with Blades who had to face pig fans every single day last year/season.

I am not stating that any other Blades fans should feel the same way. However people can't prove that I am less of Blade, wrong or need reducating becuase it is simply an opinion. I am not claiming any facts, more just the strenght of my feeling. That is the main point of this, i.e. to show how strongly I think we should get rid of our joke of a manager. I stand by my opinion whether people think that I am a lunatic, need my head examined or whatever.

You still dont get it do you? Here's a little help kindly provided by Foxy and in support of all who share similar memories to me. Click Here
 
Visiting swillisboro on Sunday for the first time since Boxing Day (Is it really 30 years ago!!) I vowed never to go back there after that defeat but I've been persuaded/harranged by my son that we need to be there to help them on there way to where they belong (any division below us).
I can't see any scenario that would justify us losing to them. I had a discussion with my Dad on Saturday who thought that the club would be loathed to lose the revenue that a derby would bring over a home fixture against Palace.
Lets hope we can replicate the first half of the game earlier in the season and then match it in the second half and really put Boxing Day to bed.

UTB

Thanks for that. If there is anyone who still beleives after watching that, we should lose to get blackwell out they want their head examined.
