So no one really fancies us - Good

Makes for good reading, doesn't it? We'll have a better idea when there are fifteen games to go, but these 'experts' are plain illogical. Like a gambler who keeps backing against something because it has to happen at some point. As it stands, we keep winning and when we lose we bounce back. That could feasibly change, but it's funny how most of those journalist don't even talk about us!

Just how I like it.

Just read it and it will be music to Wilder's ears that we are expected to fizzle away as the Leeds journo says.

 

[Rusty view]

Think there's some very nice compliments in there. Especially from Notts Forrest.

I’m reminded of the 89/90 season when all season the pundits said we’d fall away.

I remember Stancliffe on Goals on Sunday after Leicester been interviewed saying something along the lines of “to all our critics, Up yours” Silent Blade may remember.

 

[Smirth]

Very happy with that.

Happy for others to think we will fall away because of the quality other teams have, whilst completely overlooking the quality we have because we didn’t spend big money on them.

This will be motivation to the whole team to carry on proving people wrong.

 

[boo radley]

Love it when so called sports journalists think they know what they are talking about.

 

[blade too long]

journos , absolutely clueless

wolves , who we wiped the floor with are unstoppable , but are full of portuguese players used to a 38 game season
yet we , the fittest team in the league will fade away . good logic

couple going for norwich who have been terrible yes they won at the Lane but it was daylight robbery
Villa are there on name only , they still havent impressed
and Boro and Cardiff started on fire but are no where near as convincing just now

ipswich wednesday leeds not a chance , all 3 looked a division lower against us

 

[originaltrueblade]

Long may it continue that they underestimate us. We thrive on that

Always liked our Stan. A damned fine fellow.

In Bassett's autobiography he recalled being in a holiday (in Spain, I think) before the 1989-90 season. He met Harry Redknapp (Bournemouth) at a bar. Brian Talbot (WBA) happened to be there too. Talbot wasnt being friendly to Bassett and at one point in the evening when Talbot was having a conversation with Redknapp some yards away from Bassett, he was talking loudly, dismissing Blades chances in the 2nd division and was criticising Bassett's style of play. Bassett was openly smirking which seemed to annoy Talbot even more. Unknown to Bassett at the time, Redknapp then offered a bet with Talbot that the Blades finish above WBA at the end of the season, Talbot quickly took the offer!

At the end of the season Talbot wrote a card to Bassett congratulating him on proving him wrong but dont think he mentioned his bet with Redknapp!

I read that Star article and thought 'what total bollox'

Moat of it is just illogical nonsense written by people who think spending money must mean teams are better - ignoring all the evidence of 15 games that have gone before. My Grandma could probably have made a better fist of making an accurate prediction of who will finish where....and she's been dead for 15 years.

100% agree there, it will be music to wilders ears. Miles more damaging to be thought off as potential champions.

 

[Harry's Game]

So the journalists from Leeds are twats as well, who'd have thought it?

 

[blademark]

Strange that nobody tipped the massive to go up, aside from the Star reporter ?

Except he doesn’t; he says they’ll finish in the top six, which is far from outrageous considering they’re three points off.

and about the spawniest bastards that ever played football.

 

[Bladepicker]

I dont think we fayre too bad. Get some decent mentions. Suprised how many still tip Villa to be top 2 - I've seen them three times this season on the box and they've been awful every time.

Is she ITK with the footballing gods?

It is classic consumer psychology that the most expensive items must be the best

All companies that sell overpriced garbage know this

 

[Rodley]

Great article

 

[Weasel]

Easily pleased then.

Spot on
Villa are the beats audio of the championship.. crappy 30 quid headphones masquerading as top end Sennheiser/AKG

The question I would ask the thick cunt from Leeds is: you expect us to fizzle out, so presumably you must have expected us to be there in the first place? Especially as we were the red hot pre season favourites! I bet the answer is no, just another fucking clueless journalist who hasn't got any idea about football and spews swill from his vile gob whilst thieving a wage. Fucking oxygen thief.

Don't hold back, axel. Tell it like it is!

 

[Berlin Blade]

And what are their weaknesses?
They were inconsistent from game to game before the seven-match unbeaten run, and they remain inconsistent within games - a good half here, a poor half there.
The midfield has been short of balance for much of the season - they play a 4-2-3-1 - and I think manager Gary Rowett is still undecided on his best strike pairing.

Ah the old '4-2-3-1 with two up front' formation
