The points available are worth the same as in games against all the other clubs. Still want to beat them though. Luckily I rarely come in contact with any blades so it is easier for me. Don't worry....most of the population of GB don't come into contact with them.....so you are not alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) I'd quite happily lose both games if it meant us finishing in the Top 2. The rivalry's fierce from their side as for us I don't think we give that much of a to$$ about them. Our attitude to your Toytowns and Dingles is a litttle similar and this is what upsets them as they all try to build up a rivalry that just isn't there.

I probably pay a bit more attention to United than others because I've got like most of us United supporting mates but come on we're not as bothered about them as they are about us. They beat us and the all area around Bramall Lane will be called Wilderville whereas we don't even name a stand after our derby heroes Edited June 21, 2017 by Great Big Galaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This topic and many other threads where references to United are made are evidence of that. We hate them, they hate us. You're a liar if you say anything different than that.

Would you accept - hypothetically - them doing the double over us but we finish top 6? Or do we have to beat them this year? As a matter of pride? Personally im not that fussed. It'd be good to beat them but theyre just another team for us to get 6 points against to make sure we go up now. What rivalry, you think they can rival us?

Nero Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Simply put. I fekkin hate em. It makes me completely irrational. So no defeat is acceptable. Finishing below them is unthinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rivalry that just isn't there?...if that's your personal view then fine but you're way off if you think the majority don't give a throw. Sheffield football rivalry is one of the fiercest in Britain if not the world, we've never shut up about the Boxing Day game for nearly forty years, there is genuine hatred amongst some of the fans & yes, while I'd take two losses if it meant promotion it would still hurt to lose those games, being top dogs in the city is a MASSIVE thing & I hate it if we're below them in any way, personally I don't hate them, never have but rivalry, you better believe it's there.

clud17 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I want my cake and i want to eat it. 3-0 at Hillsborough, do them 2-0 at the lane, we get top 2, they get relegated on less points than toy town. i open a can of Carlsberg and await the premier fixtures.

HIGHERSTATE Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) I have good friends who are blades and love talking about football..people come before football. Theyre just getting a bit caught up in the hype and dizzy about the future. I will hate everything about their horrible little fkn club on derby day tho....i think despite the reality of the situation they want revenge for mind the gap..and whatever anybody thinks the build up for the match will be starting soon.

I'm well aware there is a rivalry between us and them, I'm just saying they are more bothered about it than we are. We're more bothered on the day of a derby naturally, they're more effected by it 365 days a year. The lack of rivalry in my original post was directed more towards Rotherham and Barnsley. If I do get pi$$ed off about one thing in particular about United it's more about what they claim they've achieved in the past, usually before everyone else but I think this is probably more driven by the club rather than the fans? Anyway regardless of what happens in the Sheffield derbies next season, for us it's all about finally ending our exile from the premier league IMO.

Harrysgame Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Never used to have much of an issue with Blades yes always wanted to beat them but just like every team, recently the attitude of their fans has changed they have really tried to build up a rivalry as they had nothing else, and diverted attention from years in the pub league. I still think back to the shame they brought to Sheffield Football by falling in to Division 4. Of course they now have a shiny Division 3 trophy to polish, oh how I wish they had done the double and won the Johnsons paint cleaner trophy as well, Blades embarrassing Sheffield since 1889.

Salmonbones Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I personally think the games matter more to them. Do I want to beat them? Yes, but ....I always want us to win. To me it seems the be all and end all to them to win these games, no matter what. Should we finish above them, if they have beaten us, even just once - they use that as the yardstick. They could beat us once or twice next season, we go up, they go down and they would still use it to say they are the bigger and better team. I kid you not.

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Few blades I know and would love to get the double done although , as others said top 6 or even better top 2 and 2 defeats against them I would take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
