🚨 Sheffield United Captain Blasts Sheffield Wednesday After Shock Defeat to Grimsby
Sheffield United’s captain has launched a scathing attack on city rivals Sheffield Wednesday following their humiliating defeat to Grimsby Town, branding the Owls’ performance as “dumb” and “embarrassing.”
The Owls, who were heavy favourites going into the clash, fell 2-1 to lower-league Grimsby, sparking anger from fans and mockery from their Steel City rivals. Speaking after United’s own fixture, the Blades’ skipper didn’t hold back in his assessment.
“The whole team is dumb. How can a club like Sheffield Wednesday lose to a lower-division side like Grimsby? It’s a disgrace,” the United captain reportedly said.
The outspoken comments have added more fuel to the long-standing rivalry between the two Sheffield clubs. While United push for stability in the Championship, Wednesday’s shocking result has left their supporters questioning the squad’s mentality and the direction under current management.
Fans on social media were quick to join the debate, with Blades supporters mocking their rivals, while Wednesday fans demanded answers from the players.
Grimsby, on the other hand, celebrated one of their biggest results in recent history, with their fans hailing the victory as proof of “heart over reputation.”
With tensions in the Steel City running high, all eyes will now be on the next Sheffield derby — and whether the Owls can redeem themselves after a stinging criticism not just from pundits and fans, but from their rivals’ captain himself.
