Wednesday are the original Sheffield club, being over 20 years older. They originally played at Bramall Lane, and were nicknamed the Blades. United are usurpers, also rans, and classless wearers of bacon. I always want Wednesday to win this one in convincing style, but sadly I think they're going to get battered. Could be Luhukay's last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Andy Hinchcliffe nicely putting the boot in on Luhukay. ’They’ve been awful all year and are lucky to be where they are’...bloody hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozza Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Is it me or my tv, the red stripes on Blades shirts don't stand out as being red on the long range camera view bit poor considering it's hd. Or do I need optician or new telly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I forgot how much the Sheffield Derby is 90 mins of average players trying speculative efforts rather than playing football and making proper chances. Similar to @Andicis in that I know one too many smug United fans and my Wednesday mates usually talk sensible football so if I have any allegiance it’s there So who’s coming down to smash up The Cremorne with me later?

TuffLuff Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Funny how Sky have tried to make out that United have dominated this game and played well but haven’t they only really created the penalty they should have scored? In fairness to Wednesday, although some of the defending has been a bit desperate, they’ve kept them out pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like they "dominated" the 1st half against us despite only creating the one chance which resulted in the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I prefer Wednesday because I don't like teams called United when there's more than one team in the city. It doesn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, I really dont see the hype around them. A very average Sheff Wed team have been able to cope with them. Local Derby or not it’s a game they should be creating chances and winning. ...and there’s ANOTHER terrible speculative effort ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hit the post three times, should have had a penalty and their right back should have been sent off”. Oh shut up it’s football. Them, Leeds and Forest are all the same. A faux working class identity yet think they are owed something rather than having to earn it. And yes I’ve been drinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It’s the full backs that make Sheffield United look good those 2 bombing down gives them so many options going forward it’s hard to defend against, Wednesday defended well but over the last 2/3 years the money they’ve spent you’d be pretty annoyed having to go defend like that against your local rivals.
