Roy's View From... View From Wednesday

[Charlieblade]

The simple truth is that Blades fans have always been uncomfortable telling lies. The other side had to stoop so low, to try and preserve their credibility.
They have a Thai owner, who made his money through gullible customers, by using smoke and mirrors. (That is Thai for telling lies).
All they are doing is following his example, telling the same lies that he uses to try and run the club. They can’t get rid of him, so they repeat his lies. It is a clever way of avoiding reality.

I only realised this while reading Roy’s View From, post match. My bad, I have been gone too long. This is what 15 years in SE Asia has done to me.

“Lets remember we are playing against a team funded by PL parachute payments.”

"We are a 2nd term championship team filled with of freebies and loans."

Cooper - £3mil
Burrows - £3mil
Souttar - Loan
Anel - £4mil
Gilchrist - Loan
Arblaster - Academy
Souza - £10mil?
Rak-Sakyi - Loan
O'Hare - Free
Hamer - £15mil
Campbell - Free

Peck - Academy
Seriki - Academy
McCallum - Free
One - Free
Robinson - £600k?

Even then we bought Hamer and Souza with the fees from Ndiaye and Berge, and we bought Cooper and Burrows with the fees from Bogle, Traore, Osula etc.

I love this myth that we've built our team and squad from parachute payments. We really haven't. We've actually spent less than the value of the players sold.

Somehow in a year we’ve gone from being a club that’s miles out of its depth having spent nothing in the Premiership.

We’re now high rollers after a summer of free transfers.

 

[Bladezz]

That’s a comical read.

 

[Paisley Blade]

The correct pronunciation, apparently, is ‘Rerl’ as in ‘ whirl’.
So if Hull City copy the sausage chant it will sound much more authentic.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

“For me, only Leeds have looked a class above us. Sunderland weren’t that great, it was our kamikaze play on the day.”

So if we'd beat them 4-0 it would have only been down to their kamikaze play, and anything less than that and they've somehow come out winning
Pork logic, absolutely deluded.

Our next game at the Swill will be much better suited to us, and this time I hope Wilder doesn't play the nicey, nicey were both respectful neighbours bollox and totally fucks them over like he did first time we met.

I was going to mention this quote. So we weren't great. Sunderland weren't great, but we're both top of the table at this time. 'Bartender could I have a pint of what that chaps just had'.

 

[Montymagic]

Apparently the only thing we gained today was 3 points.
Well, call me old fashioned, but that's kind of what a league is all about.

Attendances apparently, away attendances are the only ones you can count though.

 

[Working Class Hero]

I know it's just a coping mechanism, but this view that we should have played them off the park just because we're placed higher in the league and have better players, goes against what happens every single week in every division, let alone a derby.

 

[SwissBlade]

The comments are funny and worrying from their fan base. Delusion on new levels

Yes we’ve been in the Premier League but we also have to live within our means and we have replaced an ageing side with a very fresh, younger side.

Two big loans in Souttar and Rak-Sakyi, as well as Gilchrist. Not sure where the £4million loan fee for Rak-Sakyi comes from but we’ve been able to bring these three in because we’ve got a whole bunch of academy lads maturing at the same time. That’s the legacy from the Premier League in many ways that we could invest in our academy

Our game management this season has been to play at higher intensity for short spells, mostly controlling the game and trying to create chances whilst being very well organised. It was as much of a don’t lose game for us as it was for them.

Rak-Sakyi had two men on him first half so Wilder made the attacking half time change bringing Seriki on, whilst Peck also offered more attacking wise than the injured Arblaster, because he was playing slightly further forwards.

This high intensity approach was only activated for 28 mins. At which point we took Rak-Sakhi off and evened the balance up in midfield. We’d got our goal and were confident that we could keep them out, which was done easily.

There was more physicality in this game than I think we’ve seen all season and there will be a few nursing a few injuries today.

Wednesday brought pace on with Musaba and it meant that we naturally sat deeper to close the space and restrict his chance to run in behind. It’s a risky strategy as we know like to have a go from distance.

The problem Wednesday have is always going to be in possession. They are a team comfortable out of possession and using the wings to get in behind teams with long punts into the channels, we saw this before the derby and they tried this yesterday and it was mostly nullified. So they don’t have a lot of the ball, 41% yesterday, which is about right for them in most games. Our possession was down a bit, but so was our passing accuracy at around 77% (we’ve been in the 80’s in recent games at home). Their accuracy was 67%, low even for them in recent games.

I think for them to say they got a moral victory because they didn’t get hammered as they can’t compete against Parachute FC is a bit defeatist and probably also explains why they’re where they are and have been for a quarter of a century.

In reality, yesterday was a fairly easy and straight forward win. We were below our usual high standards, but we faced a very defensive side set up not to lose. We also were mindful of not losing the first derby in a few years and yet we also had enough quality to up the tempo and get a goal.

They made attacking changes to force an opening bringing in pace and physicality… yet they didn’t have a single shot on target from 10 shots and 6 corners. They lost 2/3’s of Aerial duels.

They can talk about how it was tighter than they expected and Rohl, their players can also say that no team deserved to win, but when they take a look at themselves they got what they deserved.

I think when we look at it, we’ll be slightly disappointed that we didn’t create more against a lower mid table side but we got 3pts and a clean sheet to move us back to 2nd, level on points at the top as well as 2pts clear of Leeds that we lost to at the start of this run of games. 13 ahead of our neighbours…

 

[Bladesman]

 

[S64 Blade]

That's the difference. They can only imagine doing so. We've done it loads of times, so it's not a big deal really.

“Could you imagine if we had the chance to go joint top and were playing the pigs at home? Hillsborough would be deafening “

Bouncing one might even say! If anyone ever asks for the definition of cope - just show them these comments. Thanks your Royness

 

[Beans]

Four straight derbies where they haven't scored and been broadly happy with how the game has gone. Come and have a bloody go next time.

The last time they celebrated a goal against us was a) over 7 years ago and b) immediately ruined by one of our best-ever moments in a derby

 

[The Crab]

They defended well for most of the game, lots of stops,freekicks.throw-ins etc made it difficult to play fluently. First 15 minutes of second half we did look abit more like ourselves. Good subs, Peck and Seriki changed the pattern and we scored. Probably hurts them more loosing by the odd goal than a stumping. Pride and points were at stake and we did what we needed to get both. Two weeks we're at Coventry, then Oxford at the lane before a friday night vs Sunderland at bdtbl. Great to enter the international break on 3 wins in a week. Hopefully all available for Coventry. Even Tom Davies could be back.

I feel like Elvis will be back before Tom Davies…

 

[The Crab]

They have fallen that far behind us that a 1-0 loss is something to celebrate… will they put it on their honours board and maybe bake a cake ball to celebrate the nil.

They love being our cuckold…

 

[anglian blade]

Half of Wednesday's team yesterday were older and our oldest player (Hamer). That doesnt really bode well for any Wednesday fan thinking they might get better.

 

[The Crab]

Cunts

TLDR…

 

[SUFC Guy]

Major Lolz at the Wendy.

Kicked off from a winning position and they fkd it up!

"0-0 and you fkd it up, 0-0 and you fkd it up, 0-0 ......"

 

[Everblade]

Cunts

A wonderful and insightful appraisal.

Pretty much sums them up.

 

[Lucky1979]

Even my “sensible” Wendy mate was flirting with the side of stupidity yesterday saying it was a mistake in a game they were controlling that cost them. Showed him the zero shots on target and 37% possession and asked how that equates to “controlling” the game . No reply so far.

 

[Tom Bott]

I live in S6 so am surrounded by people who claim to be Owls but don’t actually go, when they bring us Boxing Day I ask them which division the game was played in, none of them actually know.

Let alone the time we beat them 7.3 , Wendy history chooses to not go back that far.

 

[Igor]

We Won, Nuff Sed.

P.s.
Seeing Souza reaching down, patting Bazza Bannon like a little schoolboy in a school football kick around was a classic moment

 

[ZoneManWilf]

The sausage Rohl stuff it not cringy, it's beautifully childish school playground banter and works on multiple levels.

- It's a childish play on his name (see also Goal "Washing" Machine, Gary Madine).

- As football chants go, it's pretty benign, with no swearing, even better for the young uns at school today.

- It's easy to sing and directly mocks their chant for him and it was very loud so he and they know exactly who we're targeting.

- He's had an easy ride with them, most of them think he's Jürgen Klopp mk.2, now he's had 29k people taking the piss out of him whilst his team gets beat, and he's then immediately a mardy bum in his post match interview, if I was from North Wales I might even say "rattled". He's already mentioned his reception from our fans

- he's German hence sausage connection.

- the clincher is obviously that sausage rolls are made from pork, so it fits perfectly with him being a piggie as well.

A perfect footie chant.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

BBC Sport:
After a largely forgettable first 45 minutes, the home side made a great start to the second half when Tyrese Campbell finished coolly after being slipped in by Callum O'Hare.

The Owls struggled to create anything of note in response, with sub Djeidi Gassama going closest when he curled a shot wide.

The Blades have now kept six successive clean sheets at Bramall Lane and did not so much as allow their rivals a single shot on target.

 

[steve26272]

Two big loans in Souttar and Rak-Sakyi, as well as Gilchrist.

.

Not sure they have the maturity and intelligence to work out the reason we attract top young talent like JSR, Gilchrist, McAtee, Doyle, Henderson etc is that we have a proven track record in developing youth

Be that our own current crop, or going back DCL, Harry, Adams, Jags, Klye's, Brooks etc

They look at us like a scrubber seeing his ex bird getting into her new fella's 2 seater sports car and nudging his mate saying

"cant do a dumpit run in that tho can he?"

How i wish Gary Sinclair added this song to his pre-match playlist alongside Taxman... absolute uproar from them piggies in away end

 

[Rochdaleblade]

If the pigs are so happy with a 1 nil defeat, couldn't we just agree to settle for a 1 nil win in the next Derby? Everyone is happy and it saves any fans having to risk their lives in the old slag.

I think you missed that sausage rolls look good and you think they'll do the job, but in reality leave you feeling empty and wanting more....

 

[elgoog44]

They are a special Breed, they brag while telling you how worse off they are while telling you they are the best, do they sell deludamol on Tap at hillsborough?

Neither team played well and I am glad we can admit that as blades, it was cagey and tense which was to be expected, first one in a while, and "Our Premier League Team" of which only 4 players are still here from the premier league, but let's not let the truth spoil "there version" still play none have ever been in a steel city clash before, but again let's not let that narrative get in there way either!

So they are better than us but poorer and the league table is a lie, and a 1 - 0 loss is a win, so we as blades live and learn i guess, Do you think they will ever show any grace or dacorum, or still roll around in there pig shit and tell us it smells like Yves Saint Laurent or Dior!

Glad we beat the Pigs and on now to the moaning myrtles that are coventry!

 

[Roygbiv]

This is good. He even argues with himself at one point trying to convince himself they played well

 

[Westran]

Keep hearing this 'we expected to spank them', did we really? All I was hearing was nerves and expecting it to be tight.

Favourites for the title? Are we? I thought we'd been predicted as top half, maybe playoffs.

Apparently they used the ball better?! Less possession, no shots on target.

Controlled the game without having much of the ball...! Lol

Wilder will be disappointed!

United scored more goals in the first 15mins so he new they were safe!

Calling Anel out for pulling their players shirt, when their player did the same, calling it dark arts

He said he didn't feel down about it a lot, doesn't come across as very happy about it

Also quite bad for you, ultimately.
