Danke bitte 1,144 Posted July 7, 2021 After all the stick Sheff Utd fans have given us over the past couple of years this almost feels a bit like a "Farke you": us in the Prem, them just having been relegated playing a pre-season friendly. Bit like rubbing salt into the wound. 😄 I don't usually get bitter about mild football rivalries but Sheff Utd just ground my gears, I even remember getting stalked on Instagram once by one of their "fans" after I commented on Chris Wilder being more like Gene Wilder. A peak in my otherwise lowly internet career. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 7,093 Posted July 7, 2021 Different manager, somewhat different team, and let's face it, travelling's going to be hard work hence why we're not off on a German tour this time, so expect all the opposition to be British teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He vanished last season, no clue why.. 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have had a similar conversation in regards to Billy Gilmour. It was around him playing a handful of games, looking great and influencing games for us and then................. Oh well, let's see what the footballing gods have in for us (good or bad) this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This 100%. I guess it'll be a different Sheff Utd now without Wilder, but still, I shudder when I see the Norwich V Sheff Utd fixture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Load of Squit 6,054 Posted July 7, 2021 The S Utd web site says they will be streaming the game, there's a link to purchase a match pass. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not, there's always Radio Norfolk ( I presume) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would watch a paid for stream! Last season, the games in Germany were on YouTube but I think the clubs we played had their own YouTube channels and it seems that this is often normal practice over there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
