Pre-Match View From Coventry

“These  posts will appear on their weekly ‘view from…’ thread where they get excited by opposition fans saying things that aren’t nice about them.”

“They have a what?
Talk about being insecure.”

“I thought November would be the month of doom – aside from sacking one of our best ever managers – bought apart from the Derby blip we’ve held Sunderland and beat Middlesborough away. I’ve no doubt we can do Sheff United on Saturday”

“On paper and on form we lose, but these are generally the games we seem to thrive in. I’m getting Fulham 4-1 at home vibes running through my body.”

“They’ve not blown anyone away, shithoused their way to a lot of narrow wins, which i guess is expected from Wilder and that club in general. I do fancy us for a point but lets see how the players have coped being in limbo land this last week or so. Wright being injured is also far from ideal and damages our chances lets be honest, but i hope someone else can stand up and be counted and start getting among the goals.”

“Whenever I’ve seen them this season they haven’t looked like a cohesive unit”

“when the team shows up to really play it’s a joy to watch”

“Cannot see past an absolute hiding here.”

“Everyone said that about the Sunderland game, including me”

“Sheffield will over runner’s in midfield, I fear the worst, if Lampard hasn’t signed by then he might change his mind after watching Saturday’s game.
I know some people will say good.”

“I worry where the goals will come from without Haji.”

“It’s all about the mood of the camp and the prospect of a new ‘coach’ coming in and players looking to show what they are about. No one hides in this game. So a good performance is what matters most but I think if we do perform well we beat them. We know Gus and Callum’s game intimately so curb them and attack with pace.”

“We will win with a 95th minute screamer from Tats.
O’Hare and Gus momentarily forget themselves with Gus running to singers corner to celebrate whilst O’Hare does his best liam gallagher impression in front if the deflated Sheffield fans following the defeat in their cup final.”

“The Hamer/O’Hare sideshow beforehand is going to be nauseating… Personally I’ll be neither booing or clapping either of them – although you can put your life savings on Callum notching his first goal of the season

Would love to get one up that cantankerous bellend in their dugout however!”

“I don’t want hear one rendition of any song relating the Hamer, O’Hare or Mark Robins during the 90 minutes.”

“If O’Hare or Gus score and celebrate in front of our fans, I think I may need therapy.”

“If Gus scores our fans will probably celebrate with him!”

“Potential to be painfully cringey on Saturday. Fans fawning over ex players. Said ex players not celebrating goals ( self indulgent crap) and people concentrating on singing songs about the ex manager . All ending with O Hare and Hamer doing a lap of honour with Blades fans promising to look after them”

“I fear there’s quite a few who would happily join in a mutual masturbation with him on the pitch if he broke the ice and got it started. At least we could get the game called off with a water(cum)logged pitch.”

“That Souttar is an animal of a defender! One of the best in the league for me”

“It was weird that Leicester bought him but barely played him, he’s better than that clown with the long hair”

“Smash them all”

“Looking at their forum they really are a special bunch
Reckon we have forced a rivalry with them when let’s be honest , most of us couldn’t give a rats arse about them.
They’re the least significant club in Sheffield let alone in our thoughts.”

“thought their fans and Wilder’s bitterness and their assumption that game and the protest was a ploy to disrupt their season was weird (Considering they actually won?) but it’s in the past for me, end of day we were at our completely lowest ebb and it only took us 4/5 years to get back onto a level playing field with them and beat them… It’s just another game and isn’t and never will be a rivalry
I hate the racist scrufs  they share a City with far more than I hate them, a wind up about our old owners gets put into perspective by actual racism against one of our players”

“Why is everyone so obsessed with us? We just do our normal thing and leave a wake of fan tears behind us.”

“Sheffield United fans stoking up a rivalry wasn’t on my bingo card. I can’t remember ever giving a second thought to them. I don’t like them or hate them, they are just another club.”

“It all stems from the protest game which they took offence too and which they won anyway…
It’s very strange and like you said other than looking back at it at a very grim time for our club no one really gives it a second thought”

“I still haven’t forgiven them for the quarter final defeat. I definitely prefer them to scummy Sheff Weds. There were some cracking games against them at HR in the early to mid 00s as well.”

“I won’t rest until Sheffield Wednesday are liquidated and that delipidated shit tip of a stadium of theirs is flattened”

“Have we created a rivalry with them? I dont ever think about the Blunts, I probably think about their Steel City counterparts more the racists. Besides we’ve lived rent free in their heads since the 2016 protest”

“I was chuffed to bits when they beat Wednesday the other week”

“I’ve never liked Sheffield United since they beat us two nil around Christmas when we were flying hard with Tony Mowbray.
They were a cheating, Diving dirty team.
Strangely enough, like most teams in red and white stripes.”

“I hate everything about Sheffield United. Never liked them and I hope the players are up for it. Depends what team attitude turns up tomorrow but we need to give everything and get 3points.”

“Reasons I don’t like them
– that tackle on Lameiras not being a red
– the protest game / singing for SISU
– 1998
– Sorry everyone but I actually prefer Wednesday”
