Reading back through this now, their arrogance does seem hilarious. Or at least it would do, were I not reading similar comments from our fans r.e. Friday. The pigs won't under estimate us twice, and they have a new manager at the helm.
If we do manage to do the double, it won't be easy.
If you were to offer me a draw, I'd probably take it. But fingers crossed we take all 3 and can get back to planning the Chris Wilder statue. I don't think the statue should be too elaborate, just a simple 50 foot statue, made out of solid gold, encrusted with diamonds. Like I said nothing to elaborate.
I have a couple of piggy mates and they’re quite sensible in their comments, but what they both said was that they hadn’t really followed us during our Wilder revival. Fair enough.
I consider myself a football fan, I like to keep up to date on local football teams, including the Pigs and Chesterfield. I couldn’t understand why they continued with the “it’s a tough league, you’ll struggle to stay up” and “we’ll be too strong for you” in the summer when we chatted. I was continually saying how good we were and why. Plus how Wilder has brought in a playing style based on fitness, hard work and organisation, which would make us something more than the Championship whipping boys.
I said in the build up that they need to watch out on 24th Sept. Just like the pork talkers, just like the Piggy players, just like Carlos, they didn’t heed the warning. The signs were there. We’d started strongly and we were hitting the fitness levels we saw last season.
During the game things started to dawn, since the game I’ve continued to remind them that I’d told them that their own failings were clear to us Blades fans, I said that writing us off was the worst thing that they could do.
I’m looking forward to the pre match view from for this game. Reality has hit them this season. Had we not smashed them at their place and had we not been above them, I don’t think things would’ve changed at all at the Sty.
The problem is that whilst their fans seem to be getting it now (and we’ll see this in the pre match View from), their owner hasn’t got a clue how Sheffield football works.
