Then there's Sheffield United. Admittedly, I know far fewer United fans. Some of them, (generally the ones aged above 30) are decent lads who you can have a conversation with. But it has come to the point where when I meet someone from Sheffield, I can usually tell what football team they support based on how they act. If they're a bit of a cock, 9/10 they seem to be United fans. Had an incident a few years ago out in Sheffield. Met some lads around my age, United fans, had a chat, a few drinks and sung songs with them. Seemed decent enough lads. Then got back to the trainstation going for the last train, and the United lads were on the opposite platform, and all of a sudden, decided that they were "hard". Throwing bottles and "wanting to go". So hard that they had waited to do this just as their train was pulling in. Hopped on said train and started flicking the V. There was another lad I met on holiday, thought he was a cock at the time. Wanted my phone number to keep in touch; me being the pleasant chap I am obliged. Said chap only ever text me when United ever beat us after that, just to tell me how many fingers I had and how shit my town and team were.

Then there's the fans on radio Sheffield. Wanting their manager sacking g if they're ever below 4th in the league, including when they were in the premier league. Brian the Blade and his very very very accurate attendance rants; we average 5,000 allegedly. The ones who constantly phone up the programme asking where the money has gone, as though every penny which is received in a transfer fee should be put back into transfers. "Where's the Tevez money gone", "Where's the Kyle's money gone",
"Where's the Maguire money gone", have a day off!!!

Then there's the activities of their club. Starting with Neil Warnock's blatant cheating in that game with West Brom all those years ago. The handling of Iain Hume's assault. The handling of the Tevez fracas. Their intention to sue anyone who caused them to suffer financially. Then there was Kevin Blackwell. Then Daniel Bogdanovic who stated that signing for Sheffield United was a dream come true, nothing to do with the free flights he would have no doubt received through main club sponsor, 'Visit Malta'. And their history isn't that good and their attendance isn't anywhere near as good as Wednesday's. And besides, even if it was, it's gotten them 5 points further up the football pyramid than us, so well done to them.

So that's why I don't like Sheffield United. And if that means I'm having a 'love in' with Sheffield Wednesday, then so be it.

I can't think of anything else but Daniel Bogdanovic. Terrible bit of poaching that. What a fanny he was.
 



If such a derby game will turn abrasive and it needs a bit of fight, are we equipped to compete with that?
I'd be surprised if Doyle doesn't start tomorrow and if he doesn't I can see us getting bullied out of it too much.
Always see Dingles as the cocky ones - they are always bigging up their chances and gloating afterwards. Be nice if they had nowt to gloat about tomorrow - but I am. It so sure they won't.
 
I hate these inbred fucking redneck hillbilly cunts nearly as much as I hate the pigs. Leeds, in third place, don't even come close. People used to think 'The Hills Have Eyes' was a horror film until they realised that it was actually a documentary set in Bhaaaaahnsley.
 
The question springs to mind, how did they know about your blog Roygbiv? Did they have a nosey on a rival team's forum to see what was being said ahead of the game?

It's a great service you provide us for nowt, and must take a fair bit of time so thanks for the effort. And not just the pre and post match ranting of idiots (a lot of the time), the loanee updates and new signings views provide some great insights. Keep up the good work :)

It really doesn't take as long as people imagine. Probably about 15 minutes at most. I enjoy doing it too. Certainly since I turned into a blog.

Imagine knowing as much about Barnsley FC as these no-lifes know about Sheffield United. Jesus Christ. Would be desperately sad if it wasn't so funny.
 
They're an odd bunch. Have a few Dingle mates and they seem to have some irrational hatred towards us. I really don't care for them either way to be honest.

Think we'll win tomorrow, we seem to do well when the expectation is on the other team and we can dig in and break. 3-1 United.

In the main the dingles are a bitter twisted bunch of twats who love their south Barnsley neighbours and are close on just as deluded as them.

Metal - we've disagreed on a few things over the past few weeks but not on this! You've got that 100% spot on! The only thing worse than a dingle is when you come across dingle who supports pigs.
 
When you are at Barnsley tomorrow and they are all singing the same Song just remember they are all related to each other, more inbreeding than Rotherham, just.
 
More gold

"when all's said and done, we're similar size clubs. They might do us on gates, but Arsenal get more in than Liverpool, wouldn't suggest they're any bigger though. We're a small town club and considering that, our attendances are impressive. I'm sure that were we to have an extra 200,000 people living in the town/city/borough we'd get 20,000 too."


On the same thread they accuse us and Wednesday of being deluded too!!!!! Classic
 
What I found most bizarre about reading 'Tykes Mad' is how most of them type how they talk. My personal favourite is 'buits' as opposed to 'boots'.

Ha ha ha, that is priceless. I like how when it comes to clubs arguing about "size" some fans forget about anything that happened prior to the 90's. A clubs size has to take into account their entire history. The dingles have had 1 year in their history in the top flight, how the f#ck are they anything like us.
 
I'm sorry to admit this but I work in dingle land & I must admit that they are all thick twats!!!!
 



I'm sure that if any town's population suddenly doubled they'd expect attendences to go up.
 
They really are as thick as shit in Baaaaarnsley ................ I'm just surprised so many have the internet, fuckin hell electric must have been installed recent like.
 
Have to agree with them on SYP though. What tensions? Plod trying to stir shit?!?
 
“when all’s said and done, we’re similar size clubs".
. A team who has spent 1 season in the top flight is as big as a club that's had 60 seasons in the top flight... hmmmmm

And our average attendance is almost double theirs. Thick dingle twats.

The more they bring the more will see what a gulf in class there is now between the teams which met in november.

They can’t beat us. They won’t beat us.

A gulf in class sounds about right. Back in your box, Dingles!!!
 
Brilliant stuff. Might read this post over and over again.....

If we lose and Chesterfield win as they surely will then we have a real fight on our hands.

I agree with Clough that we must not lose but I think the best way to avoid that is to attack. No chance though. Our individual defenders are not reliable enough to take pressure, unless Kennedy is fit. Collectively they are even worse.

Wrong, wrong and wrong eh? Attacked from the off, they had 0 shots on target and we stood the pressure fine.

Thanks Bladesway, I was just going to say we won because we attacked just like I suggested in the very post you reply to above.

I am delighted we won and I am delighted we attacked. Now why don't you reply to a few of my posts last week which advocated attacking football, 4-4-2 and being more positive. Sorry lad, I was right far more than I was wrong but so pleased Clough must have been reading my posts. Thanks for the feed!!;):) UTB.

Sorry you can't make those Bostik "sly" jibes stick I'm afraid.

Turn to the medication jibe next, it's often quick to surface when you're out of your comfort zone;) And I thought you were getting all educated too!:)

Not high at all, just plain happy; even you are amusing today!

After reading that, today's win becomes a whole lot more satisfying. They can spout as much bile as they want. It doesn't alter the fact that we completely outplayed them today in a match that they desperately wanted to win.
