Roy's View From... View From Wednesday

[I should coco]

So they are all sat together and one wise old sage explains how today was actually a win for them, to much nodding from the rest.

He explains how they were really relegated on day 1 of the season, and so today is merely a mathematiical niciety. Again, much nodding and the odd raised glass.

He explains how we have never won at Wembley (apart from 1925, when we did) and how embarassing it must be to always lose at Wembley. More nods, raising of glasses, and the odd cheer.

He explains only two derbies ever really counted. The Boxing Day Massacre of nearly 50 years ago, and the FA Cup semi final, from which of course they went on to er......, lose at Wembley. Much cheering and more raised glasses.

He explains that since Wilder took over, he has managed 10 derbies and we have only managed to win a mere 5 of them. The other 5 were draws, which the classier club, with the global presence actually 'won', by virtue of not losing

Glasses chinked, much cheering and nodding and then the subject turns to how Man United, Liverpool and Villa, are crying out to have the S6 Massive back in the Premier.

Pigenomics, innit.

28 years before the BDM we'd put seven past them and won by four clear goals. They got their revenge in 1979, winning by four goals. The BDM was 47 years ago and seen as revenge for our 7-3 win (which they never seem to mention)


There's nothing for us to avenge. We've done the double over them for the past two seasons, winning 5-1 on aggregate and relegating them in the second game this season.

Yes I'm fuming.

Since the “Boxing Day massacre”….

• 91/92 (5-1) double against their superstars.
• ⁠three other doubles, including a double-double.
• ⁠most goals scored in an away derby with 4-2 bouncing day win against Carlo’s superstars.
• ⁠biggest away derby win on record - this season 3-0.
• ⁠6 wins at Hillsborough to their 1 at Bramall Lane.
• ⁠unbeaten in 14 years and 8 games.
• and beat them to “officially” relegate them today.

And yet we haven’t “avenged it”. Silly, deluded twats.

 

[Paisley Blade]

Can we get things straight about Boxing Day
1. Bobby Davidson Day 3-1 at the sty
2.Bouncing Day 4-2 at the sty
3.This season 3-0 at the sty
The above buries the ghosts of the massacre

This. This.This times a fucking thousand.

Boxing Day was in the THIRD division. We doubled them in the TOP tier in 91/92 in their glory period.

We like doubling them, we like double doubling them even more.

 

[PrestwichBlade]

They’re right

We had a chance to totally humiliate them

We didn’t

We blew it - we blew that chance

Fact

I don't get this. We haven't steamrollered anyone in recent times. We generally start fast and get a goal or 2 and then... that's it, we end up making life difficult for ourselves. If anyone was genuinely expecting different from us, I'm struggling to see the evidence.

They reckon we need to win by four clear goals to properly avenge it. But as mentioned, we'd already done that in the 1950's. I was at the BDM and back then they were crowing about finally getting their revenge for the 7-3.

So if we've already beaten them by four, won by three on their patch, done the double, done the double-double, got a better stadium, get bigger crowds, been in the PL three times since they were last there, and finally relegated them, I really don't see what they have on us at all.

 

[JohnDenver]

"That result will have hurt them, they were desperate for a cricket score"

Yeah, I don't know about anyone else, but I am proper gutted tonight.

I’ve learned something today. And that is no matter how crap they are, turning them over is always an absolute joy.

Yes they are mind-bendingly inadequate, but this was their big game in a dead season, and they actually had a go for a short time. The fact there were a few minutes of doubt as to the outcome made it a more traditionally enjoyable victory. Whereas when we were coasting early on, it was a different flavour of fun.

Either way, chin chin!

I agree definitely not seen it over a full 90 minutes. We have done enough to win matches and then switched game plans such as first half of Leicester away, probably the best overall performance was against Stoke at home. But when you are down to 10 men for 40 minutes it’s not going to be easy and things needed to change, probably not the best game to take much out of. Don’t forget the “boring Wilder” of last season, so many times I would have taken a boring 1-0 win this season!

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. I will reiterate what I said in the pre-match View From, in that they are absolutely, 100% fucking crackers. They seem to have no grasp of the absolute clusterfuck of a football club they're supporting. Whether it was 2-1 or 10 nowt, we hammered the final nail into that rotten coffin of a club.
Fuck em.

 

[Slug]

Fucking hell, here's me thinking they had just played half a game against 10 men whilst looking utterly woeful and manging a mighty 2 (?) shots?

That will teach me to start drinking at 9am.

I have no idea how I will sleep tonight now after only winning 2-1.

I'd be worried If I were us....

Based on their social media activity tonight, the funny bit is that most of them seem already to have completely forgotten that they were only able to have go when it was 10 v 11 men, and as you say even that didn't last long.

I thought we would out play them, but I was actually shocked at how easy it was to cut them open 11 v 11 and 10 v 10.

They seem to have got worse than when we hammered them at the Sty, and I didn't think that was possible. Then again, they are without McZidane now.

View From Wednesday — The View From

"Phew. I was at the BDM with my dad who is a United fan as are many of my family. Maybe this is why the BDM not being avenged is massive to me and I really thought today was the day. Sure, if they want to pretend they relegated us then let them- they haven’t

roysviewfrom.com

We're you in Triple point before match thought I saw you but didn't want to be a weirdo an say hi...especially if it wasn't you

 

[100% part time blade]

We do score a bit more than we used to: there was a period from the end of October where in 10 weeks we scored 3+ goals 10 times, including a 4-0 win.

As an expectation of course the ‘6 or 7 goal hammering’ prediction only works if you think we’re the equivalent of 3 or 4 leagues better than them - which this “view from” suggests is how they see us now. Would we expect to hit 6 or 7 past a team in the second tier of non-league? Maybe, but even then the ‘rising to the occasion’ of minnows against clear superiors in the biggest game of their season means it rarely pans out that way.

 

[Korean Blade]

The posts celebrating scoring a goal in a loss at your biggest rivals must be a new low. What a passionless set of shitcunts. Anyway, we shan't be seeing that filth again for a while and we have bigger fish to fry.

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Duffy avenged the so called bdm for me, thank you very much. Love all their salty comments. Thanks piggies, you never let us own

 

[Bladepicker]

Wednesday, what you gone and done, you're going down to league 1. So take your trumpet and take your drum, and go and play with their Barnsley scum

 

[Blade56]

Just watched highlights back. Says a lot when their MotM was (by a country mile ) Dieng in goal

The September slaughter

 

[knowsnowt]

Ffs I turned off after 94 minutes.
I didn't realised we lost.
Bloody hell.

 

[mcbladeface]

It's all very predictable. They were always going to find a way to declare some kind of victory.

Agreed. And if they had any grounds to deny it, beating them 3-0 at the Sty, which was the biggest away win in the history of the fixture, put the matter firmly to bed.

And then we have today. Neither club had definitively relegated the other before. Whether they like it or not, this is historic.

Their last "gotya" event was 2012 and that only happened due to the Ched Evans debacle.

Since then they have nothing.

I’m pretty sure it’s only eight derbies, but that’s good because it makes the win percentage better.

 

[CPB]

Some weird view froms as per.

For me. Wilder summed it up quite well.

Thought we looked good for 20mins and really should be more like 3-0 up.
Then I thought we went really casual with our play.
And the atmosphere dropped because of that.

2nd half they huffed and kalvin puffed. I'm not one to go OTT on him. I actually think he's just got it a bit wrong and there was no malice. Red yeah. Seen em given as yellow yep.
But that gave them a real boost and then they scored too.

I really expected more of a threat from them after but really it just didn't come. If anything we had the better openings that we fluffed.

I sensed another red in the game and I thought it would be for them. I actually thought they would get a red early doors.

10 Vs 10 and it felt like normal service resumed. We really should have made it 3-1. But it doesn't matter.

Main thing is we won. Despite owls fans suggesting we should have won 5-0. They actually rarely lose by more than 2.
So why in a derby would that be different?
I mean it probably would have been if Kalvin didn't get sent off but even so.

 

[Right Back]

I gave up reading after the first few (sorry Roy, I do appreciate your hard work). What the actual fuck is wrong with them?? We’ve beaten them 5-1 over the season and sent them down in record time, but they’re still trying to lord it!! Absolute fucking moron, mouth breathers to a man. I despair.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

They have the delusional vision of Chemical Ali and Hitler in his Berlin Bunker. They are thick and arrogant at the same time which is a dangerous combination. I used to hear them at work “we are massive aren’t we”. Then we have WAWAW. If that was the case, they’d have 1,200,000 fans at every home game. They have the IQ of an average dried up dog turd. Fuck them, and the smell that came with them.

That is how many of them think, certainly their most vocal supporters online. Its quite staggering we are from the same city as some of them.

People were annoyed that we didn't tonk them 4 or 5 nil today but this is the sort of mental gymnastics they would do anyway had we thrashed them. Whether it's 1-0 or 10-0 those lot will give you a dozen reasons why it doesn't really count.

The wendy shithouses lost another derby and got relegated, still think they are massive, Deluded Twats.

They failed to do the double in the boxing day season, drawing 1-1 at BDTBL in the return winning 5-1 on agg that season ,, we have done 5-1 twice since , the Bobby Davison season and this season ,, the 7-3 season we won 10-4 on agg ,

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

On BDM - we still sing about it as well. Perhaps we ought to archive that ???

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Odd comments - I thought we'd won the game and they'd been relegated, but it seems that in S6 that didn't happen.

They live in a parallel universe. A defeat and relegation is a win
