Having read it again, it's won me over. I'm gonna support them in the play offs. I might even buy a ticket to the final. What's point stopping there? I'll probably support them every week and hope both United and Wednesday win every game and draw when they play another. I might even cheers Barnsley and Doncaster. What a great article.

Same here. I'm going to dye my hair ginger, stick some wet look gel in it, join the EDL, put on an unwashed sondico shirt and start pogoing up and down outside Legends on Hillsborough Corner whilst singing the teletubbies theme (or whatever their latest terrace anthem is) with a half of Strongbow dark fruits in my hand.

It's sometimes used as a Blades pub anyway so I've heard.
 
I have to say this article has changed my life.

I have just got off the phone to Chinese Dave and he is knocking me up a half and half scarf just so I can give Wednesday my support. I am even thinking of getting a season ticket at Hillsborough next season and maybe getting a tattoo of "WAWAW" on my arse. I am not sure what WAWAW means but I am sure its nothing to do with wankers.

Many thanks to The Star, they have completely changed my view and made me see just how MASSIVE Wednesday are these days. There was me thinking the newspaper was just chip paper but they have proved me wrong today.

Danny04 will be so angry if he recognises that as sarcasm he'll not be able to take the details down of someone selling their old fridge in the want ads.

I am sure he is too busy counting how many copies of the Blades 16 page promotion special they sold.

Seeing as those numbers are covered by the Official Secrets Act or something I'm hoping he matches 2ndtenorblades donation to Bluebell Wood.

Oh really? Are those my two options, with nothing else possible?

Strange, because I'm a Sheffielder and yet I'm being completely serious.

Edit: In fairness I live in Leeds nowadays, so I'm not surrounded by Wednesday fans much. That probably makes a difference.

I live in the south. It still doesn't attenuate my loathing for those woeful bastards.

Isn't front Sheffield. Manchester United fan as it happens. It's just his opinion column. See also:

It may be his opinion column but it doesn't excuse the content. It is either widely misjudged or more likely (given that he won't be stupid as a former sports editor - I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt there) it was printed knowing it would spark a reaction and get his article linked on forums/social media and get clicks for the Star as a result. It is a shame that a local publication should try for such clickbait.

Can you imagine the MEN printing an article on why Man Utd fans like Smith should hope Liverpool qualify for the Champions league? The Evening Standard doing an opinion piece on why Arsenal fans should be grateful Wenger has led them out of the top four and below Spurs for the first time in years? No, me neither.

It's not as though there is a local sports news wilderness in terms of subjects to write about either; two local teams promoted - one as Champions, one throwing the Championship away. A local lad about to begin his first summer as England Captain. Two local teams relegated and one about to embark on a play off campaign where there are tons of subjects that could be tackled as a valid 'opinion' piece ahead of the tripe that was published.

A local newspaper with a long history turned into clickbait nonsense that the 'you'll never believe what the Alesi twins from Neighbours look like now' style articles would be envious of. You must all be very proud.

Blades fans, steel yourselves. You won’t like this but it needs to be said - Sheffield United fans should cheer on Wednesday in the play-offs.

Don’t curse, laugh, mumble, groan, screw up the paper or click back to e-bay.


Bear with it. I’m not calling for a fantasy black-and-white 1950s sportsman-like utopia where we all wish each other the very best, touch the peak of our caps and cycle to work as the factory hooter goes off, compelling though that may be.


No, we’re talking about naked Sheffield United self-interest and here are five reasons why:


1. If Wednesday go up it puts pressure on the Bramall Lane board to invest in United so they can get even.

2. United are champions and Wednesday can’t be so you’re one up there.

3. It’s a step nearer having two Sheffield teams in the Premier League – it might not be the step you would have chosen - but it’s a step in that direction.

4. You don’t really want to play them next season do you? Who needs the nerves, the anxiety, the wind-ups at work - not that they will totally disappear obviously but save it until it matters more, in the Premier League.

5. It’s good for the city of Sheffield – that sounds a bit like someone’s gran talking but it’s true.

If Wednesday beat Huddersfield over two legs and then go on to triumph at Wembley, Blades should take the crowing and the mickey-taking, ignore the ‘We are Premier League’ chants and play the longer game.

United won League One as champions with 100 points and games to spare, no team could do more than that. They can’t make up all the lost ground of the last ten years in one season.

Sheffield needs two teams in the Premier League and one of them probably has to get there first.

There will be Owls and Blades full of scorn who don’t give a damn what happens to the other lot, in fact they’d rather they went out of business than do well. Don’t be so small-minded.

Wednesday and United in the Premier League makes Sheffield a world-class football city and that’s good for both of them and everyone else.

So smile Unitedites, remember your 100 points and the champions’ parade through the city last week, cheer on Wednesday and suck it up if they win.

It’s all part of the Sheffield master-plan . . .

Problem is, you put this up and a load of people will have clicked on it to read it. Mission accomplished as far as they are concerned. This doesn't exist for me.
 
I don't click on shit like this and if I did I use an ad blocker which would put one of those whining messages on the bottom of the screen imploring me to allow their page to be shown as they are really skint and face going out of business.
 
Wednesday simply aren't ready for the Premier League, but in my opinion they have a good chance of achieving promotion.

All this means is we have next season for stability, preparation and team building, while Wednesday will be getting battered by the top flight and wondering why the mighty Mr. Rhodes isn't worth a tenth of his price tag.

The season after we'll be pushing for promotion, while the recently relegated will be receiving a much needed wake up call.

Tortoise and the Hare my friends.
 
I remember some pig fans once sat behind me in the walkabout pub in Doncaster for the play off final v hudds.

As soon as Simonsen skyed it they were jumping around like monkeys going crazy. And laughing at me.

A couple of my mates had to bundle me out of the pub before i did something stupid.

1st of all i would never dream of going to a pub to watch the pigs in a play off final.

And secondly i would never cheer them on either.

I hate them bastards and their scummy cunt fans and I hope they get to the final again only to lose.

I might make a return visit to that pub this year......

Sorry but SWFC hob-nobbing with the elite and crowing about it will definitely put pressure on United to get up there.
Nature of the beast.

I would disagree with that. It seems for the past 50 years we've hardly been in the top flight together. It always seems to be when one of the clubs is on it's uppers the other one's fucking around in some sort of crisis. I'd say about 3 years together in the top flight over the past 50 years, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Another wembley failure would be funny.

I think I'd rather deprieve them of the joyous feeling you get when you win the first stage and get to Wembley. Just knocked out over two legs would be fine. They can't come back with the fact that 3rd should go up as they didn't manage to come third. I don't want any bollocks about being able to fill wembley if ticket allocations allowed. Just a nice straightforward loss over two legs and let them get back to moaning about Carlos, despite him over acheiving again this year, in my opinion.

Then let them find out season tickets have gone up to £1,000 each and a pie costs £9 next season.
 
Having a PL club in Sheffield would benefit the city, doubly so if there were two. There'd be an influx of wealthy people (players, coaches etc) moving into the area spending their money on fast cars, big houses and giant watches and three thousand plus visitors to the City every week, spending money. The stadia would be redeveloped so plenty of building work up for grabs.

Sheffield is missing out on a lot of potential money, much of it from foreign sources, by not having clubs in the PL.
But, as I don't live there anymore, I can be selfish about it; fuck the pigs, hope they stay down and go down again next season. And the season after. And if they were playing in my back garden, I wouldn't just shut the curtains, I'd set the dogs on them.
 
I'm more than happy for us to go up together next season, as long as we finish 1st/2nd and they finish 2nd/PO Winners.

Seriously wouldn't mind us all being back in the premier league. Just not the first. Please footballing gods, please.

S5, I admire your tenacity, but wanting the S6 ladyboys to do well to incentivise the Blades Board? Since when was this ever a reason that United have needed previously?? We're not competing than them, our reasons for progressing are uncomplicated and stare you in the face. We now have a manager capable of doing something wonderful for our club, not just any manager but someone possessed of drive, an abundance of ability, and an understanding of what it will take to help us move forward. Using Wendy as a reason for anything is about as feeble as any I can think of. It's nice to see you attempting to summon up a reason for United's success mate, but this??!!!!

I wouldn't waste my full bladder if they were on fire .
 
Martin Smith, author of the original article, steel yourself. Here's why you should lick the crusty shit from a tramp's arsehole.

1. It needs cleaning.
2. You've got a record for writing shit, have a go at tasting it for a change.
3. You'll be doing the public that encounter the tramp a massive favour.

I'm sure other can think of more reasons.
Wonder if Mr. Smith reads this forum?
