Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Huddersfield

[Sandygate Blade]

Great to be back. They're a miserable bunch though.

 

[Speedracer]

Yes, it's true, we are back! Another set of miserable bastards though.

Thanks Roy.

When I were a lad they were one of only two teams to have won Division One three years in a row. There really is some history there.

If I've got my facts straight (counting to three is harder than it looks) then:

Huddersfield Town were League Champions in 1923/24, 1924/25, and 1925/26.

Arsenal were League Champions in 1932/33, 1933/34, and 1934/35.

Nobody else won the League three seasons in a row till Liverpool did it in 1981/82, 1982/83, and 1983/84.

Since then Man United have done it twice in the Premier League.

Every day’s a learning day, I just googled Herbert Chapman, I knew that he managed Huddersfield and Arsenal and that he was also won the FA Cup and Charity Shield with both teams.

What I didn’t know until just now was that he was from Kiveton Park and that he played 21 games for us in the early 1900’s. Imagine how different our history might have been if he’d managed us at some point, we were a pretty big club in those days?

My brother is a Wednesday fan and saw the pre season SW 0 Huddersfield 0 friendly and told me that Huddersfield looked really poor and were nailed on for relegation.

A week later we played Huddersfield at the Lane and I was shocked at how poor Huddersfield were. Even more shocked that they cruelly beat us with a last minute goal in a match we totally dominated.

I was very confident Huddersfield would be relegated last season but incredible they ended up in the playoffs .

Just shows how difficult it is to predict the Championship.

No doom n gloom from this Terrier.

None of this International nonsense
Six pints beforehand
A ropey pie at half time
And a 3-0 defeat
Bring it on “

Very sorry to hear that, stay strong mate.

Back in the day I remember beating them away in the cup and a screamer from
Agana at Leeds road then beating them at home 5-1 or 5-2. If memory serves me correctly Simon Tracey made his league debut in the latter. I remember duffield scoring a penalty just before halftime and a lovely long range effort just after. Happy days.

 

[Jan Age]

Sheffield United the gift that keeps on giving after an international break

And the other game against them, away, ended 3 2 to Huddersfield.
Agana scored two.

Thanks UAB, I knew we lost the other game but couldn't remember the score for the life of me.
