Could even have a wide forward by then too (Rashica?). Think we'll see this team, good guess if so! Traore to come off the bench assumimg he's eligible For the record, I'd go with Fred over Cash if it was me picking.

alreadyexists Posted September 20, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2020 Will Traore be eligible to play? The official site said he’d signed subject to international clearance... has that come though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has details of him playing some friendlies (and he was registered in time) then I'd start him too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should hear it when I wear my Grealish shirt that me mum got me before she passed. Guaranteed a utd fan will open there mouth and try say something but never get it from Wednesday fans (maybe that is because they are truly S**t and a bunch of pigs. One thing I've never got used to and when I first came to sheffield is how men call each other love n duck n other things. I remember first arriving at sheffield and having a bloke call it me in shop I said ain't bloody gay piss off because down Midlands if you went round saying that youd be on floor lol. Like I said I've still not got used to it and it's stupid to hear. Edited September 20, 2020 by Dave-R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should focus on their own team rather than slagging off ours and our fanbase. Too much hatred in football which isn't necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 They do come across as a bunch of bitter clearings in the woods. Imagine there’s more than a pang of jealousy as they are seemingly just happy to pocket the Premier League money whilst we are free spending. This continual obsession regarding the “phantom goal” is so laughable as well, as if we were so lucky with technology and that’s the sole reason we stayed up. Let’s ignore the stonewall penalty VAR didn’t give us in the SAME game and the numerous horrendous calls we’ve had throughout the season and who knows if that game would have even finished 1-0 had it been given? Idiots. Other teams are going to hope/expect results against them because whether they accept it or not in terms of individual quality they are right down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Reading a few more comments this morning shows how out of touch they are about us. Saying we were lucky to get promoted, lucky to stay up, lucky not to go bust. Should be grateful to finish 17th, blah blah blah. How about we flip the other side of the coin and say we were ridiculously unlucky from 2011-16, to go from challenging for a European place every season to flogging our best players and replacing them with shiiiite like N'Zogbia and Ireland who went from high performing Prem players to cannon fodder, battling relegation every season and then losing our place in the top league for the first time in nearly 30 years. Or how rather than being lucky to go up, we underperformed for most of the season then turned it on in the final dozen games with clearly on paper probably the best squad in the league. Or how we were lucky in the game against them but totally unlucky against Palace and Arsenal away to come away with nothing and lose three key players in the space of 2 weeks in December/January which completely derailed us. And no, 17th is not the goal this season thank you very much. We may have had a bit of good fortune over the last 2 years but it's been long overdue. If we're looking at lucky teams you only need to look in the direction of Chelsea and Man City who are run by oligarchs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Football fans hate others for many reasons, one is they see another team as simply a 'bigger' team. Take Villa for example, our haters know we are back, and they also know we practically invented football, our history is magnificent and we should now look to get back to where we belong. Another fact is everyone knows we are loaded too and one of the richest clubs in Britain. The fact we now have a Brazilian and Argentinian internationals playing for us is also a reflection of how better we are. Last season I thought we'd have a better season and if not robbed of three of our better players for half the season we'd have been much higher up the table. I don't know where Sheff. Utd finished last season and I do not care either but one thing is certain is they will struggle to do any better. They might beat us as an opening fixture can be tough to predict however we should be better than them. If we carry on with our form from the last few games of last season and improve with our new acquisitions then I'm confident. UTV 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only the first game of course but I think it's important we start well to build momentum and hit the ground running. Of our first 8 home fixtures 7 are against teams we can beat (Liverpool the only one you'd say we'll almost certainly lose). Sheff U finished 9th last season and had a fantastic season, one of the best in their history and certainly their best in the Prem years. They'll be very hard pressed to better that and as I said I do think this season will be more of a struggle for them, but at the same time we must respect them for what they did last season and match their effort and work rate from the off.

robby b Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Considering we're at home tomorrow, I'm a bit concerned that out of the 14 matches played so far, 9 of them have been away wins! :s So it looks like home teams are missing the fans advantage quite a lot. The other five were home wins though, not a single draw yet! Draws are so passé. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 i wonder if Sheff utd having more games under their belt will impact the game, this will effectively be the first competitive game most of our players have played for a couple of months. Im under no illusion that Wilder will have his team ready to fight/compete from the off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
