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

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Pundits and podcasts etc going on like they are Real Madrid.
Always do that with us. Media darlings.


"We're sheff united, we'll tarmac your drive"

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Shef Utd are the third best team in the division. If you win you will be deserved winners. We were the 4th, so to be fair this final being played out between the pair of us is how it should be……..
By the way I have always liked the chip butty song you sing... I just hope I only hear it before the game on Saturday.

Aye
Best make sure you’re not listening @ start of 2nd half then

Any views on “Starman”? - reckon you may be subject to a rendition or two of that n’all.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Cheers Roygbiv, fingers crossed for one more!

 

[Grappler]

No post match if we lose as I'll be getting into shin kicking

Pre-Match View From Sunderland — The View From

"Anyone else just not arsed about sheff United. Pundits and podcasts etc going on like they are Real Madrid and we stand no chance.Our best 11 is better than theirs plus we have a living god in Mayenda playing up front.Give them 2 good games this season and the one at home could have been

Well, seeing as you may not write any more "View from" this season, just want to say thanks for all the effort you put in, week in, week out, it's something I enjoy reading before and after each game.

So, all that is left is to say, officially, to close the 2024/25 season, is.......

Cheers Panchero!

Cheers roy
Personally I think it's going to be a tight ,nervy game where a individual error could decide the game, after their win over coventry I think they'll go with similar sit back tactics and try and hit us on the break.
Its definitely not going to be a game for the purist ,depends on which team wilder puts out how we end up.

 

[Mumbo]

I like it !
Wendy levels of delusion.
How the hell did we finished 14 points above em?

 

[bladesmanluke]

What is this persistent myth about Wednesday getting better crowds than us? It's ridiculous and hasn't been true for years

 

[bladesmanluke]

Duplicate post.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Of all the wanker clubs that bleat on about parachute payments…Sunlan are easily the worst. Maybe if they’d been more careful with their own PP, they wouldn’t have been out of the Prem for as long as they have…I’m more determined than ever to dispatch this bunch of semi-skimmed Geordies…Fuck em.

 

[Charlieblade]

It just proves that most of them are as blinkered as Blades fans.

It doesn’t change the fact that our starters are better and we have greater squad depth from our bench.
We have some experienced big match players too, if they are needed?

Happy with that

Berkshire posting on there too

 

[Large Mendonca]

I've seen so, so many versions of it now that I'm not sure what it is

Even I had to google it the other day

It's the cult of the massive.

You see them everywhere, anytime attendances are mentioned by any club in the 92 or any member of the media there will be a grunter along to tell the innocent party about how amazing their crowds are and 3000 to QPR etc.

They infest any and all parts of football fandom talking about pigonomics and their massiveness. Eventually the lies are repeated so much and so often that it becomes part of the accepted wisdom.

To be fair to them it takes an enormous effort to constantly keep up with their narrative, but you can see first hand what it's like just by looking at PorkTalk, where they just lie repeatedly to each other to keep themselves (in)sane.

“They’ve spent fortunes and had parachute payments that they got because of over spending the last time they were in this league to get promoted.”

Cheers Roy

I found the “they’ve had better results but we’ve had better points total’ quite baffling/amusing

 

[Panini]

Tall Sheffield United player scores header from a corner = big lump bulldozed it in.

Tall Sunderland player scores header from a corner = heroics.

Of course this is a sample of just a few fans but I always thought they knew their onions. This is just the same snivelling, whining shite we see from clubs who never have a sniff of the Premier League. Though they'd be better than that.

No idea what will happen, hoping for a good game and that we turn up. Everything else is up to the gods. Wilder's toughest opponent is himself. Hope he doesn't overthink it.

Sorry Roy absolutely no intrest in reading it this time.

“Wilder is the only bloke edgier than my uncle.”

Loves a bit of edging does his Uncle....apparently.

 

[UTB Blade]

Just loads of the usual cliches with a fake Geordie accent.

Haway, man!

Nee need to gan on like that!

Mackem accent's canny, like!

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

“It’s sheff utd man not the jorman luftwaffe ffs.”

I love this comment.

You can really get the accent (with a hint of true Geordie in it)

 

[I should coco]

Cheers Roygbiv , and clearly there's not much point in us turning up.

I didn't realise just how good they are, and how physical we are. Our only hope is for our giant keeper, to chuck the ball forward to our big lads, Hamer, O'Hare and Brewster.

Hoof!

 

[JPBrods]

“We are far more aligned with Sheffield Wednesday than Sheffield United.”

Clearly we need to book an alignment workshop with Sunderland over Teams to see if we can unlock synergies.

[metalblade]

Strange all this level of delusion from Sunderland, the truth is they have been on a dreadful run of form gifted their first win in ages at Coventry outplayed in 2nd leg and only got through by a last minute goal. I understand why their fans have gone all giddy with the sheer relief of making the final but phuck me they sound like pig fans who think they are world beaters after a few wins.
Going to be a very tough game. I have us down as slight favourites, we aren't the team that played them earlier we are now decidedly better after the January window we can now field a proper bench unlike up at Sunderland where our bench was made up of kids hoping to get on for their debut.

Quietly confident

 

[Frank the tank]

Always really liked sunlan and their fans but this week I'm.really starting to get the impression they aren't very bright from that part of the world

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

There's a cell under our main stand?

 

[diode_blade]

BTW, Roy, as always to you, deadbeat and others, thankyou very much for all your hard work and effort.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Well they keep going on about earlier in the season. If they think our team on Saturday is the same ……They are in for one hell of a SHOCK!!!!!

Thanks Roy one more report to come from you
