The derby

[blade too long]

I've copied ucandomagic and drawn up how they've faired so far against the current league table. West Brom result aside, they're nothing to write home about.

15 % win rate v clubs not in bottom three 30 per cent if you include them

Sky+

Fuck that. There must be a million better things to do with your time than analyse Sheffield fucking Wednesday on Sky+.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Tonight's finish ended up being the perfect set up for Sunday.

[Zeblades34]

Only good thing about the derby is the build up in the week

We know this is the most important thing over at the morgue. Imagine when they all found out we won in the 98th min, absolutely ruined their night

They were putting our score up in the 60's just like we did.

Nowt new here.

Nowt new here.

The difference being, they evidently only put up our score these days when we are losing.

Afterwards they flashed up our attendance, which was 0 as we were playing away from home, but that was enough for their deluded fans to declare themselves as massive.

I had a scoreboard like that on the Subbuteo set I got for Xmas 1993

Is there an older scoreboard in the top 2 divisions? It was installed in 1991 apparently.

Bert has no idea what goes on at Hillsborough these days.

I suppose when they only use it to show our scores they’ve no real need to change it. Like a pensioner with a Nokia 3210

That board looks like it’s from the 60’s

 

[Houston_Blade]

Dangerous this one now, we’ve just won 3 on the bounce. I looked at the last promotion season in 22/23 and we did manage a winning streak of 3+ games on 5 occasions, let’s see if we’re still capable.

That’s some trip. And no atmosphere when you got there.

Bannan is really shitting it

 

[sheff_blade90]

as i saying yesterday nobody will remember tuesday but they will remember sunday. its interesting the stats before the most recent sheffield derbies 2017/18 2018/19. going into the derby we had won 2 & lost 2.

interestingly we went into bouncing day on the back of a home defeat to Norwich

before the 1st 0-0 draw in return fixture we beat ipswich away in the FA cup

Before the Last Home Derby. the 2nd 0-0 it was on the back of a home defeat to Notts Forest

Before the Last Derby. the 3rd 0-0 we had just beaten West Brom away & actually it was apart of we had a 7 game spell we won 6 & Derby was only 1 we failed to get 3pts

& interestingly its dejavu. we come into this derby on the back of 3 consecutive wins & just like we did march 2019

 

[Bert]

Wednesday drawing.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Nowt new here.

Every match in the division was put up back then - there were tiles around the pitch perimeter each team identified by a letter and the scores underneath with the codes in the programme if I remember right?

Half time and full time but Wednesday's was always updated.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Just to be clear for the sake of the young ‘uns. We are talking wooden cricket score tiles - none of your electric witchery!

 

[GrayBlade]

Proper **** fans the Pork.

 

[Charlieblade]

Form goes out the window. Who wants it most?

Can Wilder earn his corn on Sunday?

 

[Rodley]

Seen the odd person over the age of 10 on social media saying we should beat them 3 or 4 nil on paper - amazing there’s people who’ve can’t have ever been to a derby game yet.

Organisation, bottle and composure gets the result. Form and quality of team goes out the window. Being the away team is much easier IMHO.

I’d take a 0-0 and then look to spank them at Pigland.

He seems nice.

They can sing "die die piggy" too... straight after paying their respects to all the innocent people that died
