One for the notice board in the owls dressing room

It's Monday morning. The Blades are still buzzing after the Mighty humbled the Massive at Hillsborough Stadium. We have perhaps all since seen Roy's View From (https://roysviewfrom.wordpress.com/category/view-from/), which is chalk full of the denial and delusion of people who just received a bit of bad news: As it turns out, they are not better than the Mighty, either on paper or on the pitch. Sure, their books of account will tell them that their players each cost them more; but, as we all know, the only paper that matters in these contests is the unlying, ever truthful black and white of the Table and, on the Table, the gap is growing, with the Blades in the playoff places and the Owls heading towards midtabledom. A long season lies ahead. It is too early to let expectations swell too large, but what the Blades can expect, the Owls cannot: i.e., that their players will play as a team -- a single unit. For our part, as Blades, we do not have to field our best, most prolific scorer to expect that each team member will selflessly give everything for each other to get a result. We are dependent on no single player for the belief to remain, for the passion to persist. The Mighty are united. They are well developed, well recruited, well trained, well selected, well organised and exceedingly well supported. They play for each other and for the badge, giving 110% everytime they step on the pitch. #HappyDays, Blades! Owls, #NotSoMuch

A subjective/biased comparison of our team based on one game - I'd much rather our staff draw their own conclusions re our performance on Saturday not some emotional Unitedite who's shooting from the hip.

Who the f-ck is he, never heard of him so couldn't care less about his opinion 

[Orlando_Trustful]

Some obvious delusion, but you can't disagree with large parts of that to be fair. 

[Socialist_Owl]

Oh please.  The only bulletin board material this club needs is a video replay of their own poo performances.

Delusions of Grandiose!

Thought they might have learnt their lesson after their infamous 'mind the gap!' season. He who laughs last and all that...

Good old Prof Denzil Dexter 

 

 

Funny thing is, this is literally the best thing that's happened to them in YEARs.  Even getting promotion with record points last season. 

[Owl999]

The fact is that we made them look good by being abismal, we gifted them each of their goals and defended like a Sunday side playing a Premier side, if we play like that against any side in the Championship the result would have been the same .

You are assuming they can read

Can't imagine anyone at Hillsborough giving two fks about what Jim Phipps thinks, well at least not enough to stick on the dressing room wall.

What's wrong with that? Surely that would be considered a succession season, a mid table finish after promotion and hammering Wednesday on their own turf.

 

But the worry is, deep down, there is a chance they can do better. Look how long people have been writing them off....laughing about their players and they've proven everyone wrong.

 

I think it's about time we started to concentrate on why our team of stars continues to underachieve rather than hoping the other lot fail....as if that is considered some sort of success to us!
