Boxing Day Massacre ('79)

[Ginger_Potts]

I don't think that crowd for a 3rd tier match has been beaten or ever will be.
Makes you think what potential crowds we can get when we get back up top.
Bragg...it's my 40th year full time ,this year...had a dad that wasn't that bothered & living in Stix annall. But my lad was lifted over turnstile as a babe to compensate .

This shows what a sad, sad bunch you are. You live in 1979 despite the fact that since then United have had the better of the derbies including a double in 1991/2.

Only thing I can remember stood on Lepps Lane was about 30 quid in two pence pieces zinging their way towards that anchor Curran when the 4th went in

I was surprised the tight b'stard didn't try picking the f'kers up

That is a considerable amount of 2ps! Considering Curran came away from this unscathed the accuracy of your fans must have mirrored that of your team.

Well you see that's not true Worsley...
Since 1979, and including that seasons results, there have been 29 meetings, in cup and league of which we have won 11..drawn 11 and lost 7

So why do your fans still sing about the match? It is still significant and certainly more recent than a victory for you lot in a Wembley game.

Still, at least you have another big day out defeat to remember, gallant losers much like Wycombe were when they flew the flag in the semi-finals for the 3rd division.

Oh and by the way, are you sure that you have won more competitive Sheffield derbies than we have since 1979? - view external link

Spot on Hirsty.

Claims we live in 1979, then goes on to talk about 1991

Wordleyblades - you sing about losing 4-0 in 1979 every game. I feel embarrassed for you when I hear you singing it, it's still a big mystery to me as to why you sing a song to remind yourselves you lost 4-0 to

The ONLY good thing about Porktalk is you're guarenteed a good laugh from the bitter Pigs who come on here.

Get over it Worsley...Just cos you lost you come on here and try and take it out on us...The boxing day song yesterday was very cringeworthy though mate...Like Roth says, you're just reminding everyone that we hammered you 4-0 in '79..
