I would always rather be a Cardiff fan. Our misery is always better than someone else's misery!Quote:

They are depressed, disillusioned, and have mostly stopped going to Bramall Lane for more pain. Their only consolation is that the other lot in blue were nailed on for relegation - but even that doesn't look certain any more.
When I worked in Sheffield in the 1990s, I had a lot more sympathy for the Wendies. And they have a lot more to complain about than the Unitedites currently.
I lived in Chesterfield at the time and knew a few of their fans. They called all the Sheffield United and Wednesday fans "dee-dahs". It humored me.
Sheffield FC (the oldest club in the galaxy) play in Dronfield - half way between Sheffield United and Chesterfield.Quote:

Even Derby didn't concede three consecutive fives at home - especially with two of them to the same team!Quote:

Are they also the home of KFC? :sherlock:Quote:

Don't think they have the firepower to hold off clubs like Everton and Palace, but if they play like that they've got a real shot. Sheff Utd are just crap, even their big additions have been top end Championship players, it seems like they're quite happy to take the money and the parachute payments.Quote:

I often look at the teams doing really badly in the Premier League, especially if they are newly promoted (so Sheffield Utd and Burnley currently) and trying to remember if we were THAT bad?Quote:

That is the hope that I cling to! For no particular reason :-/Quote:

Careful Bob. I vaguely remember as a kid watching us lose 6-3 and 6-1 at home in consecutive games against Luton and Sheffield United.Quote:
