A huge amount of Blades fans weren’t happy after Gary Lineker referred Sheffield United to Sheffield Wednesday on the first Match of the Day of the season…
Not hard to get trams right tho is it Gary. Sheffield United are in the prem and we drew at Bournemouth. Were not Sheffield Wednesday they're in the league below . Maybe time to give it up if u csnt remember simple facts like this. Funny how u dont mistake man city and man u

@GaryLineker are you having us on or something calling Sheffield United Sheffield Wednesday. If not that is totally disrespectful to do that on live TV. Do you know how offensive that is to a blades fan? ⚔️?⚪️

Disappointed with your silly Wednesday quip, a lot of people have battled long and hard to get where we have, bit silly of you really.

Though some defended him, stating their own supporters are oversensitive…
One fan said: It’s hilarious seeing grown men get so upset by what was clearly a joke. Who cares, we’re in the Premier League
@Henni_Papenfuss: If you’re genuinely upset about @GaryLineker having a joke and calling us Wednesday on MOTD last night, shut up and go take your toaster for a bath. #TwitterBlades
@GSimmonsB: I think he did that deliberately in response to a tweet earlier in the week in which he was asked not to refer to @SheffieldUnited as Sheffield or Wednesday! ? Still didn’t spoil the enjoyment of watching MOTD from Southern France #UTB
@dantaylor91: Well in @GaryLineker saying Sheffield Wednesday on #MOTD last night ? pretty sure it was on purpose after the tweet yesterday not to call SUFC ‘Sheffield’
@SteveLTurner: Looks like a lot of football fans in Sheffield missed @GaryLineker’s tweet earlier about how he’d never mistake Sheff Utd for Wednesday ? #onstrings #MOTD
