The derby

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Their fans have nothing to shit themselves about

If we score 2 goals, we'll stop. It's the usual way under Wilder

Like against Blackburn, we just stopped bothering?

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

If we win I'll join you in a tin.

It'll need to be a bath for you both to fit.

 

[Torrix1889]

I really don't see where this tag about being great one minute and woeful the next.....they are barely average.

West Brom apart their other victories, (Plymouth, Portsmouth & Coventry) have come against teams in and around them.

They have played 5 of the current top 6, losing 4 of them scoring 5 whilst conceding 16. They also lost 3-0 away to Millwall who had not won a game at that point and drew with Bristol City, QPR and Swansea.

If any other team was coming to BDTBL with that record we would be expecting a comfortable victory. As others have said, play the game, not the occasion and we win comfortably, let them worry about us, we play our normal game.

So you’re saying Sanguine is a fat bastard?

Just larger than a tin.

 

[Silent Blade]

How many times have the pigs ever won at the Lane? Post war can't be many

January 1965
September 1967
February 2009

Also in the FA Cup

January 1954 (replay)
March 1960. My dad and my Uncle Ronnie missed the match because that day was the wedding of their other brother (who had no interest in football)!

 

[blade too long]

Owt can happen in a Sheffield derby. Keep your powder dry and hope for the best.

well wednesdays won once at bramall lane in a league derby in 55 years
and won one derby double in 111 years both in 2008 09


so paddy power wont be giving them short odds

In a bath of rice pudding with Sean Thornton? People would pay good money for that.

As long as I don't get the tap end I don't mind.

 

[MILLERtheBLADE]

I hope they approach it like we approached Leeds away.

[Frankie as in Howard]

You do realise form, squad strength, class, momentum and league position count for nothing.

wrong they count for everything, that's why we 3rd and they fending off relegation

See Only Fans…….

 

[Sheffsteel]

Yeh think that's a certainty.
They'll sit back in numbers trying to frustrate us....then trying to sneak a 1-0 win.....on the break or from a set piece.
We've said this before....but 1st goal is key.

Well, Sean would, but beyond that I'm not sure It's certainly cover the rice pudding costs.

It’d need a lot of rice pudding to cover me tbh.

Damn you and your facts!! We only like pearl clutching. And people slag Wilder for bigging up other teams (at least Boro and Leeds are half decent)

 

[Irv]

I for one love derby day. Start the festivities Saturday night, continue as long as possible then hair of the dog Sunday morning in whichever establishment is letting in via the back door (oo-er). Good sing and chat with fellow Blades then Win or Lose it will alll be a blur

They’ll be pumping it down the channels to Gassama from minute one. Stick Gilchrist on him and, with his pace and love of a good heavy challenge, I think that will be a dead end for them.
If he even thinks about playing Max Lowe (for the ex-factor) I can see Rak-Sakyi torturing him all day long.

Surely if that was the case then we shouldn't have done the double over them in the 91-92 season. I am old enough to remember both and based on form, league position and relative squad strength, we were massive underdogs that season.

2 shots 2 goals in that quarter final at the lane both by wilkinson i think they were under the cosh from start to finish

 

[metalblade]

The answer is once since the 50s... But, delete the post quick

Twice actually 67 and more recently when Blackwell fucked up oh and my first derby game early 60's 2-3

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

I'm going to wait to give my predictions until Roy's column as we know they will give a fair assessment of their team. The level headed comments should give us a window in how a sane minded football fan thinks......
Bollocks
7 - 0 Blades. Someone is getting a stuffing this season, might as well be our "sus scrofa domestics" pals

 

[Bladesthorpe]

A pig pal predicts brewster will score, and they'll get a penalty.

He thinks they're going to score their penalty too.

Both overdue.

 

[Super Furry Blades]

Just out of interest & I haven't read the entire thread , did wilder ever play in a Sheffield Derby? I'm going to say no , but I could be wrong .

He didn’t play a huge amount of games for us. A very limited player.

And I think the gulf between the sides in terms of quality was bigger then than it is now. But I don’t know how anyone can be confident before a derby. In fact, before the final whistle and the game is won! I remember one game we were 3-0 up at half time and cruising and they pulled it back to 3-2 to make us sweat. 2009 or 10, I think.
