Pre-match View From Chelsea — The View From

"Be nice to get a 2nd win before the break. Especially with Wolves and Liverpool after. These are the ones we should be winning… Hopefully onwards and up! " "Arguably the easiest match of the season. Absolute must win especially after the confidence booster today. Full week of rest too. Should...

Cheers Roy.

Arrogance in plentiful supply with those early comments. They are in for a shock if they think we will be the 'easiest match of the season'.

Seriously, do any of these fuckers actually watch football outside of the 'elite' teams?

Much fairer comments further down however. Surprised to hear that we 'thumped Derby home and away' though I must have missed the away leg.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Top man !

Not very confident are they?

 

[Mojo]

Plastic Chelsea ends

 

[Cheesebored]

Don't think they're convinced by Lampard. Me neither.

 

[vas borbokis]

Thanks Roybgiv.
Confident lot aren't they!

 

[segasonic]

What arrogance. I'll love it if we get something from this one.

 

[Harry's Game]

“Arguably the easiest match of the season”

Yeah..


“Yeah poor opposition no doubt“

Yeah...


“Our next 3 points come against Sheffield United”

Yeah...


“Another championship side for Abraham to statpad against!”

Yeah..


“These are another championship side like Norwich”

Yeah...


“big Sheffield”

Yeah...





“but I’m not convinced by Lampard’s tactical nous”

Oh Yeah...

 

[Isar]

Their expectations are predictable. A team of multi-million pound players.

I think we will surprise them.

 

[BladeInIreland]

Quite confident after reading that. We will win and get a clean sheet.

 

[K1 flabby stick]

Many thanks Roymundo.

Usual claptrap from all but a couple of posters.

 

[Mojo]

Scumbag club with vile fans, hope they get a nasty surprise on Saturday

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

To be fair if I was a fan of there's I'd expect to win. Hopefully we can get something out of it.

 

[Carlton Blade]

The first proper Premier League view from, filled with throwaway comments. Including resting players . They should beat us but their manager is worse, they are poor defensively and it's a reasonably new team.

Of all the away games against the top 8 (include Wolves and Leicester), either this or Arsenal would be the ones where the other teams are the most vulnerable.

 

[fireblade]

Cheers Roy.

On the day of this game, it will be 96 years and 328 days since Sheffield United kept a clean sheet against Chelsea

I would imagine this will be at the forefront of Wilders thinking, as he makes his selections.
Although some of those involved will have lost a bit of pace now.

Is it even accurate? Silent.

 

[1973Blade]

I remember being at Fleetwood when we went a goal down, and some United fans acted as though Fleetwood were totally unworthy of even being on the same pitch as us. We are the Fleetwood in this situation. Let's hope we shock them through!

 

[jt64]

Ah, we've found our first "football was invented in 1992 and has one division" set of fans

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Most of those comments will be tourist fans, fifa fans and armchair fans from the comfy couches of Lagos and Mongolia.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

They’ve every right to be confident as a top 6 side against newly promoted opposition. Fine with that.

But a lot of arrogance in those comments and the usual misunderstanding of what we are about.

I’ll assume it’s from the plastics rather than authentic fans that actually go to games.

Never did like Chelsea after the day they sent us down and showed such delight in it.
Easily got a ticket that day. How times change.

 

[Upton_Blade]

If Newcastle under the cabbage can win at Spurs then we certainly have a chance away at FLC.

Going for 1-1 personally!

Chelsea vs. Sheffield United, Premier League: Opposition Analysis

Chris Wilder and the case of the overlapping centre backs

weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com

This bloke does a decent enough job of analysing our preferred tactics (now tweaked of course).

He explains how difficult it will be to create chances against us based on our third best record in the league.

Then arrogantly predicts an easy 3-0 win for them anyway

 

[zablade]

Look it’s Chelsea, they should beat us even with the self imposed handicap of having Frank Lampard managing them.

No problem with them being confident. they should be.

It’s the disrespect in some of the comments.. Championship side.. no we arent as the League table shows.


Wankers

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

“Last season Sheffield United thumped Lampard’s Derby home and away. Chelsea are not Derby, it’s true, but I’m not convinced by Lampard’s tactical nous”

If thats true then we should have another 3 points allocated to our last season points total.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

I hope even more now we can give these arrogant twats a wake up call. Also teach Lampard that there's so much more to being a manager than having mates in the right places.

[BettingBlade]

Can’t argue against the fact that Chelsea will be looking at this as 3 points for them given the differences between the two teams.

However, the fact they only just stumbled to 3 points against Norwich, yet have the arrogance to still call them a Championship team is sheer stupidity. I think we will cause them a few problems tomorrow, personally still think we will get beat but a good performance is all I want to see. Anything is better than how Warnock used to set up in these types of games.

One things for sure, the atmosphere in that away end will be something else

 

[madeinsheffield]

Arrogant fuckers, I've had socks longer than some of that lot have been fans.

Is it just me that thinks this is the best time to play them, I believe if we're 'at it' we can actually turn them over

 

[I should coco]

“Should play Alonso. He gives us extra height against a big Sheffield and we have few fit wingers.”

A 'Sheffield' and a 'big' but nothing about being overly dirty, or prefering Wednesday.

6/10 - must try harder

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Wonder how post match will pan out should Megastars Chelsea win?

Young pretender teaches old innovator a lesson or two?

 

[Addison]

They haven't forgiven us for the 3-0 thumping we gave them in the Khaki cup final

 

[S64 Blade]

There's currently a clip doing the rounds on YouTube from when we played them in the early 90s at Stamford Bridge. 13k there and this is when the Premier League was in existence.

I think it explains the narrative of their comments.

If Richard Cadette is Chris Wilder after all, I'd stick these comments up in the dressing room tomorrow. They'll need to be high up though, as we have got a big side.
