He's generally been pretty complementary about us recently, I think.

Cause there is a lot to be complementary about, still a nob for sticking the boot in when we were in the shite

Reverse pyschology I reckon, hopefully Frank will see through this and we focus on spanking them!

Fair play. I don’t mind Wilder. Sort of manager you can easily dislike but you’d like him as our gaffer. I
He has always been respectful of us tbf

Their fans crack me up though. We’re irrelevant and trying to force a rivalry but they’ve started a new thread about us

Since everyone is saying we have no rivals, maybe we should go down the Leeds route of nobody likes us and we don't care???

A draw wouldn't be the end of the world as it keeps the gap to Boro. If you look at the last two as well we'd have gained 2 on Boro and 1 on Ipswich with a point.

3 points would be fantastic though in what is a tough game.

Leicester are our rivals. It's just Leicester fans will say they don't care because that's what Forest and Derby say to them because those two genuinely don't and they're so thick they think that's how you act towards your rivals.

Same as every other fanbase we come across. Now-a-days having a dislike and a bit of banter with another fanbase is "forcing a rivalry" and because we are "irrelevant to everyone".

Utter woke nonsense. You are an opposition fan, of course we dislike you, your team, your manager, your stadium and your city. That's just football in the UK. If you don't get it, then that's on you, not us.

I think it’s easy to prejudge him because he looks like the epitome of a sour arrogant Yorkshireman. But whenever I hear him speak or quoted, he always seems like an intelligent, fair minded guy to me.

Sheffield Utd are an interesting case as a parachute payment team. The last couple of seasons they have made a lot of short term decisions in their recruitment - plenty of loans and quite a few older players. If they don’t get promoted this year they’ll need to be careful they don’t turn into another Stoke City or even West Brom, paying high wages for average or past it players.

As much as I can't stand the man, if they hadn't have sacked sour chops in the summer they would probably be fighting it out with ourselves, Boro and Ipswich, failing that they would be in the play offs as a very minimum

Just driven up to Sheffield. The roads were pretty clear, but got directed around Chesterfield.
I was going to lie and say the roads are a nightmare - in the hope it would put someone off travelling as i still need a ticket

They've got 11 points less than us since Wilder took over (28 games) and that includes us playing like twats throughout Dec and Jan. They'd be in the play-off mix though for sure.

Looking back against them, I thought they'd always been better but a quick look shows Games 57 Cov wins 23 Sheff wins 19 draw 15, so not all doom and gloom.

Other than the now infamous protesting game, I can't recall them coming down to our place and beating us all that often

I think he can often come across as self-important and lacking a bit of awareness.

He's sort of like Warnock in that he sees himself as 'plain speaking', but he's pretty charmless, whereas Warnock, for all his posturing, came across as having a certain warmth to him, and also didn't appear to take himself too seriously.

As for Sheffield United's fanbase, their attitude to the SISU protests sticks in the craw; it's a bit of a theme with football supporters that when a club is genuinely being screwed, that there is solidarity from other support bases. There was the exact opposite from them.

To any Blades lurkers, I'd say it's not so much we don't like you it's a couple of things 1) you were bellends when we were in the shit 2) Some of our fans had a weird love in with your neighbours, that was until most realised they are a bunch of racist cockwombles.

It’s on the Sky Sports+ Channel (404), so in this instance yes.

The + games, if not on a “physical” channel, are not normally on Sky Go…but are on the Sky Sports app.

If we don’t get a win , I will be disappointed.
We are starting our second wind , to push on to the prem & they must be wary of the league leaders , or they are bigger arses than I thought .
Another great away day ….0 - 2 & the skyblue’s go marching on

During the 2000s we seemed to play them at home every boxing day and they always won 1-0

One of my first ever games, may well even have been my 2nd was a 2-0 win against Warnock's side who got promoted in 05/06

If we have no rivals surely it's 'no-one hates us and we don't care'?

Villa are our rivals.

Been other threads on this.

It's just their fans and board level strategies have caused how can I say 'some disagreements'. They were never really rivals in 60-90s.
