Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United are experiencing contrasting Championship seasons.
Several Sheffield Wednesday fans are making the same joke at the expense of their city rivals, Sheffield United.
The Blades currently sit second in the Championship standings – three points behind the joint league leaders, Norwich City and Leeds United.
But the following Owls supporters are convinced that Sheffield United are destined for promotion, after the arrival of the Chinese new year.
This is what they’re saying on Twitter…
Fans of both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United famously refer to the others as ‘pigs’, although the true origin of the slur continues to be debated.
The two clubs meet at Hillsborough in less than a month’s time, where 16th-place Wednesday are likely to be focused on denting the Blades’ promotion push.
The Owls have, however, turned a corner since parting with Jos Luhukay in December, winning four and drawing two of their seven Championship games since then.
Joking or not – will the Sheffield Wednesday fans’ prediction come true this season?
