monzaman Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Now we all know the Blades are garbage this season and the quicker we go down the better BUT why is it Burnley and Company are still praised as if they are doing brilliant. Am I missing something or is there an unwritten rule in the media that you cannot slag Company off or do the media just hate "Sheffield" as they always call us.

abbeyedges Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Kompany is seen by many (media & pundits alike) as a Premier league icon. Wilder and Hecky before are not held in a similar light. Our goals against column (including 5 at Burnley) have also made us the butt of many jokes. The 'pundits' have applauded Kompany's Burnley for trying to play the right way (whatever that means) and we haven't. We could realistically finish above Burnley. Would things change then?

prince al Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 It is strange that Burnley and Kompany haven’t received the criticism that Blades have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main differences between us are that we've shipped a load of goals, spent next to nowt by Premiership ' standards ' and have a grumpy Yorkshireman as a manager. They've spent over £100 million conceded sixteen goals less than us and have a former international class player as manager. Also the media and the pundits love to have hero's and villains to sell their wares. A few seasons back we were the hero's when we went up and finished ninth. This season the real hero's are Luton, Burnley are being given a free pass mainly because of Kompany and they've got their villain in us. I'd agree though that seeing as how Burnley have spent that amount of money ( peanuts though it may be in the overall scheme of things ) and at the moment aren't doing particularly better than us it can be annoying. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/einnahmenausgaben/wettbewerb/GB1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyedges Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The pss taking continues. I cannot do a link but there's a new Paddy Power promotion that shows San Marino are looking to play the Blades in an effort to boost morale in the nation that continually loses matches.
