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

[Chimpan-A]

Got to have a Like for the use of 'ensconced'

Ensconced is the feeling you get after stuffing yourself with a cream tea whilst on hols in Devon or Cornwall.

 

[Chimpan-A]

I'd prefer it on the wall I reckon

Probably be read most if it was on the ceiling directly above the treatment tables. I always imagine the Blades treatment room like those army field hospitals you see in war films, loads of injured writhing and moaning, calling for morphine.

entitled glory hunting home 'support'

Not sure who would be hunting glory supporting Spurs. We have won 2 League Cups since 1991.

I would suggest that any glory hunters would choose Woolwich or Chelsea before us.

I see you're not contesting 'entitled' though mate

 

[Bobby b]

They've had a good start, but how many times in the last few years have they played well and their supporters truly believe they are world beaters before they turn to shit, and those same supporters start turning on the management, players and their owners, I don't know whether our season is going to turn out well but I've got a feeling theirs isn't going to be how they at present think.
I'm not confident of a result but I've a feeling we'll put on a good performance.
Thanks Roy

 

[Argentinemanager]

Cheers roy, this is the way i like it , everyone of them confident they will smash us, bring it on

 

[AnotherSpur]

I'll give you that one.

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. "They played like a turtle living under a nuclear bunker" is a line I never,ever thought I'd read.
No surprises in the comments though. They absolutely think it's nailed on. Be great to ruin their day.

 

[JPBrods]

Honestly had this weird feeling in my bones all week that we're getting a result tomorrow.

 

[Sean Thornton]

If they had joined that proposed Super League they’d be getting similar comments from the 11 teams that finish above year in year out.

Watch out outside the Bill Nick pub where several elderly baker boy capped “hooligans” - some almost tall enough be be a dwarf - will be screaming at you as you walk past.

 

[CPB]

Surprised at how nervous they are....

 

[S64 Blade]

“Their defence held up well against City only a few weeks ago but it should be a comfortable three points in the bank”

Makes sense...

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Not the cockiest fans by any means. Have quite a few spurs mates here in Melbourne and they'd rather focus their energy on dissing Arsenal than support their own team. Cracking fellas mind, but I'm going 1-0 Blades.

 

[Chimpan-A]

Is that result a 4-0 defeat?

Heard a rumour that the Antwerp Arms lets away fans in, is that correct?

Also heard the Beehive down near Bruce Grove will as well.

Either of them true?

 

[SwissBlade]

This one about nails it for me....

“Yes I know you’re joking, but let’s be serious
1 against Palace
2 against Forest
2 against City
2 against Everton (got a point)
Burnley on the other hand play wide open football and have conceded 11 goals in 1 less game than Sheff Utd
The football will be better, I expect us to win, but we’re going to have to work for this one IMO. “

Sensible comments. I like the way that they assume because they beat Burnley that they’ll beat us.

They undoubtedly will beat us with their set up and form plus we’ll need lots of luck to stay in the game again, but with each game we’re getting fitter and stronger as well as more organised.

Again, keep the score down, stay solid and we give ourselves a chance with Archer, Hamer, McAtee all game changers

The spine of the team is stronger and despite being park the bus specialists, we have counterattackability

 

[AnotherSpur]

Yep. Both of those accept away fans. Home and Away fans together. Never any trouble.

The Bill Nick can be a bit lively but it's not the top chaps boozer. I'm sure your like minded fellas will know where they drink if they are so inclined.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

We really should have got at least 2 managers sacked by now. (Cooper & Dyche) It’ll be a difficult task to dislodge Ange, but It’ll be nice for the media’s new golden boy to have to explain away a marvellous Blades victory.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Cheers Roy, I was slightly confident until half our defence came back injured from internationals. Owt could happen now.

But we’ve only got one international so how can that be?

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

We’re rapidly improving, with nothing to lose and we’ve much more talent than people think we have on paper.

Bring on tomorrow

I can help with that. “The referees didn’t clamp down on our bulky boy tactics, that was definitely a penalty, our goal should’ve been disallowed, what is VAR there for if not to look at that?”
Imagine that said with an Australian twang.

That should read “bully boy”. We have no bulky boys until Fleck comes back.

 

[BarcaBlade]

Thanks Roy. Great set of comments which give me great hope.

One question relating to this comment: 'It’ll be 10 men behind the ball with no space in behind.'
Are we getting a player sent off in the first minute or where is our 11th player?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

They should be worried.

What i am going to say will make them cry.

We beat Burnley 5-2..........the next game we played lowly Rotherham at home..........we lost 1-0.

 

[JOE SHAW 1956]

“been a while since we can start looking forward to our games again....... Christ supporters of what is nowadays top 6/8 teams ... they had a terrible year poor things watching a team of International players finishing a lowly 8th and only reaching the 6th round of the Cup...!! poor sods my heart bleeds for them it really does ?. Would they have stuck with it had they lived nearer to Leyton for example , mind you I bet a lot do....?.

In the net with his gloves on

Didn’t think the North London home of the Lollipop Guild l mention were “Top Boys”. Which was the point.

Last thing we need is Sean Thornton whipping things up, taunting them about their grammar and choice of wine.
