“‘Lost all 4 Sheff Utd’, with a manager the fans have already turned against are next at Portman Road after the break.
Friday night under the lights should be intense”
“Sheffield Utd are due a win, bad time to play them”
“we need to get our first win, regardless of Sheff Utd’s form or not. We need to start winning games, even whilst not at our best.”
“Looks a tricky fixture, Sheffield Utd busting a gut to get their first points on the board”
“If we don’t beat Sheff Utd McKenna has to walk surely”
“The lack of patience that is creeping in to the fans I find far more concerning than anything else at the moment. We play best when the ground is entirely with the team.
There’s been a lot of anxiety in our home games, and that does spill onto the pitch. We need to get off to a good start, an early goal would be ideal. But if the frustration starts to creep in again, with groans on misplaced passes or when the ball travels back, we might find it a tougher night than it should be.
Hopefully 2-0 by half time and everyone can relax. “
“Nagging feeling for another draw… hope we turn up and do the business but it bothers me Sheff utd are on 0 points, would rather they had a half decent start because they can’t keep losing with some of the individuals they have.”
“The start of a new and successful era. We need to be patient because Shef Utd will, no doubt, try to frustrate us, like Derby did. I think HMS Pish The League sets sail tomorrow evening. “
“For Sheff Utd, who are another physical team, I’d go with Furlong at RB”
“Neither team have put in a good performance this season so it’ll be an edgy game. But I hope we can get through the second best team in Sheffield.”
“I think the northern monkeys generally class United as THE Sheffield team and Wednesday as a team and following from the suburbs and outer villages .. I guess kesgrave and felixstowe stylee ?”
“Prefer Sheffield United to Sheffield Wednesday, not for me but as my wife’s father played for them, before spending time at Chesterfield, Scunthorpe United (replacing Ray Clemence) and Barnsley before finishing off at Boston United and Matlock Town, as well as her Nephew currently play for them, although injured withan ACL, Oliver Arblaster”
“Prefer Blades to Owls because of their greasy chip butty song.”
“Has to the Blades for me
Living in this fine city of Sheffield there is a stark difference between those with rational thoughts (United) and those with ermmmm….. no thought process about anything (Wednesday)
We’re talking different “cliental” and in some respects species
Plus Bramall Lane is my side of the City so ……
United all day for me …if I was forced to prefer either obviously”
“Never liked United after the Taricco vs. Dane Whitehouse stuff, then the Play Offs and then Colin after that too.”
“We had a period of intensive rivalry with Sheffield United during those years under Burley when we were building towards our successful 99/00 season. I think it was just because they were a bloody good team under Warnock and a pain in the arse to our aspirations. I’m not sure whether there was anything more to it than that. A lot of people on here seem to like Warnock, but I still hold a grudge lol”
“I think when I was growing up and first getting into football .. Wednesday were relevant as much as United weren’t .. that’s just an accident of timing .. but certainly United were a 3rd division team ? And Wednesday were an attractive 1st and 2nd with waddles, George’s dad and imre varadi in their ranks at times plus also hillsborough as an FA cup semi venue..and United were bit of a nothing burger.”
“Who gives a toss about either”
“I’m happy enough with Sheffield United since I learned that Paul Heaton was a supporter.”
