Will we send Wednesday down?

[Geordie Blade]

I know but they won't take that into account when putting the R next to Wednesday

Yes they will.

 

[Geordie Blade]

But if Leicester still only have 32 when we play Wednesday then they won't put the R next to their name and they'll be officially relegated the following week.
(See also reply above)

Leicester are irrelevant in that table though - they’re third from bottom. If Wednesday go above them, they would still be in the bottom three! They’d have to pass Blackburn (on 33).

I am sure they will

 

[Zero dark thirty]

Zero hope. Dark future. Never get a 30k average league attendance. Useless.

Try winning at Wembley it's good

 

[ZLB]

Try winning at Wembley it's good

We have won at Wembley thanks.

 

[Missing Spark]

We have won at Wembley thanks.

Yeah. Both have won at Wembley and both a long long time ago.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Previous poster mentioned songs to sing and I think Sit Down by James will go down as a classic.

"Pigs are down, Pigs are down, the Pigs are f_cking down... Etc."

 

[Loco Blade]

Ice forecast for tomorrow. Any bets they get their game with Millwall called off to prevent the public execution at the lane week Sunday?

This, the more important thing is as long as Blackburn lose to QPR then it's impossible for them to be relegated before the derby game, added to the Blackburn v Leicester game last game of the season meaning that one or both will go above the 32 they're currently on, as long as Pigs lose to Milwall, then we will relegate them with victory on the 22nd

Definitely. If there's a chance that they can get it called off due to the weather they'll do all they can to make the pitch unplayable.

Not bad.

I guess we could just chant the classic Going Down Going Down Going Down, over and over. Hard to explain the tune, but a football standard chant.

 

[brownblade]

Beautiful Sunday

I know Celtic and maybe others sing the song but maybe we could put our own lyrics to Beautiful Sunday by Daniel Boone.

I'll have to Google that though...

 

[brownblade]

Bloody Sunday.

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Considered that one but felt a bit of... a touchy subject.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Nah, need Bannan to score against them tomorrow and then for us to put them down next week. What an awesome 8 days that would be

 

[Darren William]

Why's that ,it's a mathematical. equation

I watched blades ramble last night and gary sinclair was on talking about the songs there planni6for the derby like ' when will I see u again ' Really funny stuff .

 

[Chief]

The teams above them are yet to play eachother so its probably more complex than this but, in simple terms, we need them to be between 39 and 42 points behind 21st when they arrive at Bramall Lane.

They'll have 14 left to play beforehand, 13 after. Anywhere outside of that threshold and they're either still safe even if we beat them, or they're already down.

Just remember the magic numbers, 39 and 42... then its just the mammoth task of beating them.

Bit of self correction... I was wrong and, as others have pointed, the magic numbers are 40 and 42.

39 and 42 doesn't even make sense as it suggests a possible 4-point swing from only one game

Great videos of Dundee fans singing this when relegating Dundee United at Tannadice (think it was a monday so that replaced the sunday).

Just listened to it. Don't think I've ever heard it. It's really bad.

 

[Torrix1889]

I love the tribalism we have with our rivals, but it has nothing to do with ‘crazy violence’. This is also true of all the Unitedites and Wednesdayites I know (including family and friends on both sides). It deepens our love of football and ties us together as fans. It is horrible when the other side is on top or wins the latest match, and in this context Blades have lorded it since bouncing day. Hopefully our next meeting will be a historical one we can sing and banter about for a long time. We will still be friends (and family). It’s fun and part of being a fan.

There is of course a small minority whose fandom does include violence or faux violent posturing. Hopefully they stick to like-minded individuals who enjoy that kind of thing. They do not define football tribalism anymore, most of us just enjoy the craic.

I hate everything to do with Wednesday with an absolute pashun, I want them to fail and take their arrogant deluded fans down to the National League ....but I have absolutely zero desire to demonstrate that hatred by kidney punching any of their fans. I live in Leicestershire so not many Owls down here, (or Blades for that matter) but I do have a Pig neighbour who lives just round the corner and I take great pleasure in flipping the finger in the general direction of his house everytime I walk by.....childish I know for a middle aged man!

Just had a search and can’t find that one but plenty of videos of Dundee United singing it, could be it’s their song and Dundee fans were taking the piss singing it back to them..

One things for sure if the stars aline for next Sunday and it goes to plan it will always be a Beautiful Sunday to me..

 

[Sean Thornton]

They’re having a party,
They’re having a ball,
Having a party
While they fall,
Having a party,
Having a ball,
And when the party’s over
They be minus 15 points.

Let’s have a party,
Let’s have a ball,
Let’s have a party,
While they fall,
Let’s have a party,
Lets have ball,
Let’s invite Dejphon,
The man who caused it all.

Yeah that was exactly it. Relegated your rivals at their ground and sing their song to them.

 

[Stretch]

The Pigs will be conflicted about tomorrow's game.

If there is any chance of getting it postponed, they will want it called off. But at the same time, they are desperate to give their "legend" a proper send off.

Do they chicken out or man up?

Well, as they say, it’s always -7 in Hillsborough.

I considered printing a load of ‘L’ s and an ‘R’ (one each on A3 paper, perhaps A2 if you have a printer for it) to hold up in a row if the stars align.

As far as I know it is original, easy to do, easy to organise and easy for others to see.

But then… I am not convinced those I sit near in the South would do it. I would be delighted if others used the idea though

 

[Jinxy1966]

The taxman’s taking all their dough
Don’t even own their rusty hole
Relegation Sunday afternoon

They can’t even score a goal
No Balding Dwarf or Sausage Rohl
Relegation Sunday afternoon

Thank you, thank you, thank you Chansiri
Started with a MASSIVE spending spree
Until he’d wasted all his cash
And now their team is fucking gash
Relegation Sunday afternoon

Relegation time
Relegation time
Relegation time

Down to League 1, off you go
Their fans say “Am I bovvered though”
Relegation Sunday afternoon

They want to party at the Lane
In fancy dress to hide their pain
Crying on a Sunday Afternoon

So have a beer & listen to their wails
Build a coffin, bring a bag of nails
Cos they will sob & we will grin
As we bang that last nail in
Relegation Sunday afternoon

In record time
Relegation time
Celebration time

If we're going for song suggestions.

Swapping "Port Vale away ole ole" to Stocksbridge would be my suggestion.
