Wouldnt be the same without you :hihi:

Good listen that. Blackwell was awful, he couldn't take the jibes.

The wendys on the programme were a bit like the wendys on here, just trying to get cheap shots at blackwell instead of asking about their own club. So nice to see though you look up to us all the time now. You cant beat us in league position every season so you harp on about the two cup finals matches you won against us last season. Says a lot about your club and its fans does that, provided you win against us, you dont give a fxxk about the rest of the season. If your club has that small minded mentality, there is no wonder its in such a state

It was the other way round. Blackwell kept having digs at Wednesday, but no one responded until the last few mins and it really miffed Blackwell.
Wednesday aren't in state by the way, all rosy.

All rosy, yeah right
How much money have they spent buying players in this transfer window,:hihi:
How many other clubs fans are asked to paint in the stadium:hihi:
How much debt have you got, going down is it.:hihi:
Got investment coming in, any idea of the date and year.:hihi:


Thats well rosy

Blackwell has carried on with his aggressive, superior tone that dunt wash with anybody. He thinks aggression means that he's right, and he very rarely is.
He'll be gone before January, one way ort tuther.
If ever a :loopy: was needed, it's needed for him.

He was squirming all right -but when he started with the digs ,what did he expect ?

New investment in the stadium and squad possibly? Retention of our best players? Added experience to our young but good squad?

I'm not usually one for silly digs, but Blackwell was asking for it :hihi:
He was the only one going on about Wednesday. Laws said nothing, then Blackwell got a barrage of abuse at the end and didn't like it. :D

He left himself wide open for it-seems he`s was more concerned with events in s6 ,rather than his own team

His 'team' have been moved on.
He's only got 1/2 a team left ...... sitting ducks!
Roll on the derby! :)

your not saying our lovely neighbours are a selling club are you ?:o:o:o

all teams buy and sell mate-get over it-Ronaldo for example.
we sold and we also paid some good money out-remind me how long it was since you paid £3mill for a player

What's happened then, has someone told him he should spend more time studying his future players before committing large amount of the companys money on them!

all teams buy and sell mate-get over it-Ronaldo for example.

Probably as long as it was since we made a 3.5 million operating loss.

Remember you heard it here first, £3.5 million a year over 5 years is £17.5 million loss and over 10 £35 million.

Ask McCabe how long he will put up with that!

Not heard any of this jargon with the 2 managers i tend to avoid it if i can help it.
What i will say is i think both mangers need to concentrate on the job in hand which is Friday for the Blades and Saturday for us.
We have got quite a few injuries which no one seems to have mentioned.

The day we listen to a wednesdayite about debt is a day i will stop watching football.
McCabe is not daft, if he is losing money he can just sell our stake in one of the clubs abroad for example as we have other assets, wheras the fowls dont have any assets to speak of

People may listen to you more, if you cut out the childish 'Wendies' and 'Fowls'.

Same applies to Wednesdayites using pigs etc.

I stop reading when I read those names.

That won't stop the football part of his businesses losing money though, how long do you think he should put up with that?

Don't listen to football heaven but can't wait for the season to start.

Less made up debt from the Wednesday fans, less jibes about our best players leaving, less talk about the Wednesday Village, hotels, office blocks and 50k seater stadiums and back to the football (well for those who attend and don't just think they know!!)..back to the football and less about the politics (and the made up stuff)...........as we know from last season, the table doesn't lie!!!

for a long time i think, his son is also on our board so when kev gets fed up and wants to retire, his son will carry on his good work

Bring it on Stockers, i didnt used to like you but that post makes my hairs stand on end good on ya.

Yep agreed!

You spent £5 million more than us on wages to end up 19 points clear, would supporters of either club accept that end of season result now!

:D Just tell it how it is why don't you!

Agree with Stockers though, can't wait for the footy. The politics gets boring and isn't why I became a Wednesdayite.

But the club doesn't have such a high wage bill so to finish above Wednesday. (Unlike Mr Strafford, Mr McCabe concentrates on his own club :rolleyes:) The whole business model is in place as means of reaching the Premiership, it very nearly came off last season. You don't win the lottery, if you don't buy a ticket, and all that.

We may not have any assets but we certainly owned you lot last season!

'Owned' us? How old are you then young man, 12? Really we could own you if we wanted to (in the business sense that is) :hihi:

Young man? Why thank you kind sir :)

I don't know why Blackwell would put himself up to be shot at on Football Heaven - it's been clear for a long time that the RS presenters love Laws and won't hear a bad word said about him, and regularly cut short callers who tried to have a go at Laws or the team... but don't seem to take to Blackwell (perhaps they see him as Warnock-lite), and far less likely to defend him (except when some of the numpties were criticising KB during last season's exceptional club record away run).

Long since given up on that joke of a show and the clear bias towards the blue half, it makes some of the discussions on here seem almost of Shakespearean quality!

Robert Jackson would be turning in his grave if he heard it...

Is it possible to listen to todays football heaven again ? If so how ? Thanks in anticipation.

It'll be on bbc south yorkshire site, probably tomorrow.

The same could be said from Wednesdayites, as both presenters are Unitedites. Both sets of fans criticise the presenters of bias quite a lot, but in all fairness I think they do a great job and are pretty impartial.

It's a bit like on talksport, certain presenters get accused of being pro and anti Arsenal, Liverpool, ManYoo and Chelsea at various times!

The problem with FH is they indulge the numpty callers too much just for the sake of sensationalism - a procession of pretty much the same people each week, trotting out lame pig-related stuff either way.

They certainly seem to have more time for Laws than Blackwell (and maybe that's just because Laws is a nicer, more personable bloke than Blackwell) - though Blackwell hasn't helped himself with his reactions at times (he nearly bit Graham Beecroft's head off after the Preston first leg!).

Laws was on Alan Brazil's show this morning and came across well (although a lot was about Notts County). It'll be interesting to see if any of the middle/lower PL clubs will be looking at taking a punt on him as a manager, if things go wrong mid-season at their clubs. He could do a good job at a Wigan or a Bolton.

Laws was on Alan Brazil's show this morning and came across well (although a lot was about Notts County)

He said and interesting bit about them selling 3k more season tickets than last year, 12k last season, 13k this....now i'm not reight good at maths but i know that dunt mek 3k.

He said and interesting bit about them selling 3k more season tickets than last year, 12k last season, 13k this....now i'm not reight good at maths but i know that dunt mek 3k.

Laws' best/daftest comment was 'the milestone is gone from his neck'

He said and interesting bit about them selling 3k more season tickets than last year, 12k last season, 13k this....now i'm not reight good at maths but i know that dunt mek 3k.

we sold 11k last season and 13k this season so he was 1k out, he probably just picked a rough amount out anyway:suspect:
i barely get to listen to praise or grumble but wish i had today. i dont really lisen to it for the same reason a sheff71, too many fans grumble about presenters being bias when they seem to do a decent job considering

I've not noticed on RS, but I have to say Blackwell does irritate me (not because he's United's manager). Laws' seems to be liked and does get onto quite a few shows I suppose. Warnock always got a lot of airtime whilst at United - I actually enjoyed listening to him, whereas Sturrock didn't always get the airtime. Some people take to the media more so than others.

He said and interesting bit about them selling 3k more season tickets than last year, 12k last season, 13k this....now i'm not reight good at maths but i know that dunt mek 3k.

I heard that and was going to mention it, but didn't want to start the ticket thing up again. To be fair, he also did say that his Chairman was disappointed that they'd not got more ST sales.

He's not a dislikeable person Laws, it's just that he has shocking taste in employers :)

That is the big worry , losing Laws to a mid to lower end prem team ,as we cant compete if one of those came knocking . and to be honest it wouldnt be fair to stand in his way if he had the chance to manage in the prem .

He left himself wide open for it-seems he`s was more concerned with events in s6 ,rather than his own team

And this is why Mr Benn along with the other wendy lot have spent all night commenting on here about Mr Blackwell rather than commenting on their own team LMFAO.......dumbasses

When a season is just about to start in Sheffield theres always one side of the City what are looking up more than the other.
This season i would say were more on a level, derbys aprt with Uniteds obvious tough start and Wednesday's obvious easyish start on paper its almost like United are starting on minus before we start.
Some of the game's United have been handed in the first 6 games are horrendous, there definatly the sort of game's you could do with seperating out through a season.
Where as Wednesday's couldn't have been drawn better if any1 tried.

To be fair though, you were above us in the table if I remember rightly after the derby at S6 last year, and we still managed to turn the season around and put quite a distance between the teams, points wise. If you've not got a healthy lead going into the Lane derby (given your favourable start), it could be an even bigger gap at the end!

As long as we get to see SOME interesting, attacking football this season... not enough overall last time, but when we did step up, we did look real quality...!

i think part of our problem last season was ,we were ok while we had our first choice 11 playing ,but as soon as we had a few injuries it took its toll as we didnt have any depth in the squad to cover those injuries ,and had to throw kids in to the team ,and rely on kids filling the bench .

Those kid's what were on the bench last season need to hit the benchmark this season.
Boden should be good im looking forward to seeing what he has to deliver this time around.
Im also looking to the like's of Esajas + Jeffers to earn there coin.

blackwells attempts at being witty and funny were pathetic,he made himself look a right "shirt front" can anyone in attendance confirm it was blades fans booing when he was introduced last night :D:D:D:D

Is it possible to listen to todays football heaven again ? If so how ? Thanks in anticipation.

it will appear on here shortly



http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_radio_sheffield/

Will probably only start listening to football heaven again from Thursday, just cant wait for new season !

I'm not usually one for silly digs, but Blackwell was asking for it :hihi:
He was the only one going on about Wednesday. Laws said nothing, then Blackwell got a barrage of abuse at the end and didn't like it. :D

I only listened for half an hour and then got bored and switched off. Blackie doesn't seem to be someone who can tolerate jibes being thrown at him. I'm sorry but if you dish it out, you've got to be prepared to take stuff back. We all like to have a dig and take the preverbial out of the other lot when the chips are down for them, but when the boot's on the other foot, you have to stand tall and take it on the chin, otherwise don't ever dish it out in the first place if you can't do that. I have NO respect for fans of any persuasion who think they can give it out but can't take it back with dignity.

I haven't listened to Praise and Grumble years ago and i've never really bothered with Football Heaven, you get muppets phoning up both who most of the time haven't even been to the match.

you cant beat Talksport for post match phone in`s -Good Honest Unbiased opinions

I agree- there should be a rule (for the team thats playing at home at least) that they don't put callers on who havn't been to the game itself.

As long as you want to talk about Chelsea.

are you basing that on the fact that some of the presenters looked at both sides of the tevez farse rather than just slaughter west ham abd say they were cheats . thats what the presenters are supposed to do -be balanced

The West Ham issue was a real issue ,that fans all round the country wanted to debate

Where did scottf mention anything about Tevez or West Ham, yet again it was you who brought it up. I agree with him though, TalkSport are the Daily Mail of the radio station world. :)

some blades on here( there are a few) had an issue with Talksports coverage of the Tevez issue at the time .

Unlike BBC five dead ,Talksport give an unbiased view of sport.

If it didn't say that in the green 'un or on cefax he won't understand it

! chance of going to a game this season the friendly at his second (and local?)team (Stocksbridge Steels) and didn't go cos it was drizzling lol lol great supporter:loopy:

BTW careful what you say the local spammer will be on here soon he's a great mate of benny

im making the point as to why some blades on here wrongly have a problem with Talksport

Because obviously they are trying to make a one sided story a 2 sided story much like yourself keeps doing.
I see you doing the same thing with Mr Dave Allen.
Dave Allen is right to want whats his

im making the point as to why some blades on here wrongly have a problem with Talksport

Why is someones point of view over the matter wrong
Because it differs from yours?
Could it be your view is the wrong one?
For your information I don't have a problem with Talksport only with a couple of the numb nuts that open their mouths on there without engaging their brains
Like a poster on here in fact

im happy to debate the issue ,and enjoy some banter ,but can we please stop the personal insults ,because ,as HappyHippy said the other night ,take the mick all we like ,but personal insults wont be tolerated.


Anyway , i stopped listening the BBC football phone ins years ago (just had a listen on monday ,as laws was on radio sheff),as there somewhat PC presenters ,dont debate the real issues ,or give an honest personal opinion ,where as the coverage on Talksport is streets ahead

Not really- it has nothing to do withthe tevez issue at all- to be honest i never pay any attention to anything to do with that unless its offical club news now.

Its got more to do with the fact that to get listener share they have to come up with outragous statements that gets peoples blood boiling and therefore listen in the vain hope that someone comes on and tell them to shut up . . . . unfortunately the presenters on there are so childish they prefer to cut them off rather than have a adult debate.

Its radio for morons in my honest opinion.

If it is my comments you have a problem there is a button to your left which says report post you have admitted to using it before, let the mods deal with it.

Presenters on Radio Sheffield have never given 'personal opinions' all they do is present the program not come out with verbal diarrhea like some on Talksport

surely every radio station needs to attract listerner share (apart from the PC BBC stations ,where we have to pay for it anyway and it dosnt matter if no one listens-and i`d be surprised if many do )

i was talking to brian the blade today (he's one of my customers) i asked if he'd be ringing in tonight but he said he didn't think so....he's well pee'd off with the comings and goings down the lane and says he doesn't have owt to talk about..i think he may be tellin porkies :D

Its a shame you cant transfer fans isn't it, though who would want him on a free transfer:hihi:

oh i agree they need to attract audience share- every commercial station does- but to do that using the methods that they do is just . . . . well- childish is one word i would use.

Its a shame you cant transfer fans isn't it, though who would want him on a free transfer:hihi:

he's actually a top bloke in real life you know....he has great knowledge on our beautiful game that sometimes just doesn't seem to come across on the radio:hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi:

Must be because there are not many callers on the phone and they think we will ring brian so he can bore the rest of them to sleep for 10 minutes before the programme ends

Just listened to the first Football Heaven of the season back on BBC iPlayer what a immature person that Kevin Blackwell is, having a go at people, treating the people asking questions like idiots he shoule be ashamed of himself and take a leaf out of all the other managers' books and have a bit more decorum about himself

Blackwell appears to be a very angry, wound up man. Even when he talks about something beneficial to his club, he snaps and snarls like someone's just about to enter his domain and shoot him or summat.
He rarely weighs up what he's going to say before he says it, and comes across as a right plonker. How he gets the respect of the players, I'll never know.
I couldn't play for him if he made me the top paid player at the club by £20k a week.
He has no self control whatsoever, and one day his head is going to explode.
He starts the season off talking like he's top of the table by 4 points with only one game to go. He assumes that United are going to be 'up there' again (as if it's a right) and that every other club in the Championship know that they're inferior to United, and that United are the team to fear, and to beat.
Well, Mr. Blackwell, you don't scare me, you don't scare Brian Laws, and you don't scare Wednesday.
You're only a Championship club when all said and done, as I said you would be towards the end of last season. :)

On non-match days, Talksport concentrate on about 6 Premiership clubs.
All the talk is about one player or another, moving to one club or another. About how the player HAS to go because the buying club are doubling the players wages. Players crying off and threatening to do this, that, or the other if they aren't allowed to speak to whichever club they want to. EVERY PLAYER should strive to play for the 'big 4' (Man City this year making it 'the big 5') according to them.
They just fuel the money, money, money aspect that has ruined the beautiful game. The presenters of course, can do this, as they themselves are on ludicrous salaries for what they do. They want to try being a nurse, or an ambulance man, or a fireman etc .... and then see who's worth the most money. Alan Brazil was livid when Gordon Brown raised the top level of tax to 50%. He let it slip that he 'earned' more than £250,000 a year !!!!!
What? !!!!!!!!
Every programme is sponsored by a bookie who spout that Sunderland are good value at 7/4. ...... 7/4 .... good value ???
I call 10-1 'good value'
While I'm at it, my apologies to Marcus Tudgay who 'I tossed aside like a sucked orange' when I thought he was hankering for a 'money move'.
I underestimated the lad's attitude, I'm glad he's signed, and I'm sorry for my flippant attitude towards him a couple of weeks ago.

I have to agree with most of this, I thought he defended his record quite well but apart from that he just seems so immature, some snips that amused me:

"It's the biggest crowd Sheffield Wednesday have had recently"- Well actually you can't get any more recent than your last game, ours was an insignifcant end of the season game against Cardiff and theirs was a play-off semi final and what was the attendance at those games.

"We all have to work within tight budgets"- Oh really I understood yours was one of the highest in the division

"All I'm bothered about is that they are below us and at the momen they are"- I thought we all started level, and I'm sure the United chairman would have higher expectations than these

"I'd need to put a hard hat on to go to Hillsborough as the ground is falling down"- Well actually it isn't, I'm taking my kids on Saturday and they won't be wearing hard hats

"I want to finish above Wednesday, so I know if he is looking at a player then I should have him"- I'll leave that to the United Chairman to decide if he wants his manager spending the clubs money in this manner

To summarise, I can't argue with his record at United after Robson although he has had money to play with, but he does come across as a complete P*****k!

BTW apologies if the quotes aren't entirely accurate but they are as close as I can recall!

Cheers for the reminders Titanic, the quotes are near enough.
These few 'quotes' sum the man up totally. I think he gets his Sheffield knowledge, his put downs, and his quips from outside a school playground on the Manor, or Arbourthorne or summat.
He's not funny, witty, well educated or balanced.
Good post pal!

He is one funny funny guy that fella, even for a Blade lol :loopy::loopy::loopy:

Listening to RS now. Is it me or is McCabe starting to sound more and more like Dave Allen?? :gag:

Can I ask this question.

If someone was to put an absurd comment live on air, could that person be traced and possibly reported to police?

How does this show stop this ?

Not heard any of this jargon with the 2 managers i tend to avoid it if i can help it.
What i will say is i think both mangers need to concentrate on the job in hand which is Friday for the Blades and Saturday for us.
We have got quite a few injuries which no one seems to have mentioned.

Shall I mention the injuries ?:) (gets coat):roll:

I don't care what any of you say to be honest at this moment in time Brian the Blade is honest and is a pure legend.

Leaving aside the obvious attendance jibe at the start...

KB has had to work to a tight budget, given the mess he was left by Robson. Players Robson had brought in for big money just couldn't be told to leave, could they? Not without having their contract paid up. Paying off Robson wouldn't have been cheap either. Then he gets his star striker sold from under him... you could argue that in that respect, Laws has recently had better support from his chairman than Blackwell, with Wednesday's only striker of note Tudgay staying put. Blackwell hadn't spent big too often - Henderson, Cotterill...and now recently Evans.

Had Blackwell taken over when Warnock left, we'd be in a much healthier situation all round, even if still in this division.

Can't believe you brought up the hard hats quote - you'd think no-one representing the owls had ever made a joke about United...! Bearing in mind quite a few owls fans have commented on here about parts of your ground having been unsafe last season...

Why should he not be able to say he wants us to finish above you? Owls fans were happy enough when Laws said the opposite prior to the first derby last year. If he'd said he didn't mind if your lot finished above us, then i'd be annoyed at him! And technically, United are above Wednesday in the league already...alphabetically :hihi: Doubt that'll last beyond 10pm Friday though... :(

As for using Laws as his Chief Scout, then why not? Laws seems to have a decent eye for a player at times, so if you're happy to get the players fit for us, all the better :)

A lot of people had already made up their minds about KB as a person before this, including his own personal hate squad on here, so whatever he'd have said he'd have been torn about by the Owls fans and the anti-Blackwell brigade - biggest question is why he wasted his own time participating in this, as Laws is much more of a media favourite than him, particularly at RS. I think they miss Warnock, and just don't see Blackwell as in the same league, as a rentagob.

Personally, I think he tries too hard at times to live upto the Warnock legacy - when he's interviewed on his own, and not being fed provocative questions, he comes across fairly well. In these staged shows, he just isn't that good and his attempt at humour looks immature/misplaced at times. We'll have to keep an eye on all Brian Laws' interviews this season though, and see when he lets his guard slip... He can't be Mother Theresa all of the time...

When you consider what KB's had to put up with in his 18 months in charge... taking over a team lacking in belief and heading down, and brought in clearly to try to balance the books if possible; the long-running Tevez affair in the background; the Morgan-Hume affair; BT sold off; the Kyles sold off; Paddy Kenny and the Pharmacists... he's had a lot of rubbish to contend with (and that's not even including two poor derby games, and him apparently quitting after the POF)!

I don't care what any of you say to be honest at this moment in time Brian the Blade is honest and is a pure legend.

He is as representative of United as Mr Allen is of Wednesday.

Be honest that was mega mega funny m8

Just listened to him - he's just a sad old bore who's read someone say we've got £25m to spend in the Green 'Un, and then thinks we should be splashing the cash around on Ronaldo and Kaka! If KB had done as he wanted and kept BT and the Kyles, and the club had "Done a Wednesday" and spiralled out of control, he'd have been the first to just on McCabe's back for being irresponsible!

How he's got the cheek to call the Chesterfield fans boring is beyond me, he's a legend in his own lunchtime... however biased that Jason bloke may be at times, at least he tries to be positive and even handed!

Just to clarify though - that clip you put up on the other thread, is that not from the same show Blackwell was on?

To be honest i don't even listen to Football heaven, i search youtube every now and then on newest added from Sheffield and that came up.
And any1 who say's that clip wasn't funny then there nose must be very very long, it's an absolute classic. :hihi:
Infact seeing as its a nice quiet Thursday morning i'll av another listen lol.

I agree with this, I thought he aquitted himself well when he defended his record at the end.

For the rest of it though he came across as very immature, you just wouldn't see any top managers behaving like this.

You can't knock his record though from taking over from Robson!
