Am i the only one that can see it…?

[Manwell Pablo]

It's very doubtful the three teams above the Pigs will finish above us if we lose every game.

However, I can see us finishing a couple of places above the bottom three.

Not sure how that will help the overall mood of the club. You can say staying up was the main objective after the first couple of months but we were literally two wins away from being genuine play off contenders. Then the wheels came off.

So you know what i might actually back track on this, we have Wednesday, Swansea at home who did not impress me yesterday you shot yourselves in the foot after being the better team and we brushed them aside at the liberty (albeit Sheehan was still in charge at the time) a six pointer against Portsmouth, Blackburn and two home games against hull and Millwall, if we do win on Monday 12 points if not more isn’t probable but it’s definitely doable.

Although the major thing that makes the difference is you aren’t going to lose your last six games. You’ll probably end up beating Brizzle Monday and it’ll all be done and dusted, plus Portsmouths remaining fixtures are tragic and they ain’t won in six games.

Of course there is.

With 18 points left to play for we could still finish 23rd.

Mathematically yes. Realistically none whatsoever.

 

[Manwell Pablo]

Mathematically yes. Realistically none whatsoever.

The mathematics are more complicated than people take into account as well.

Portsmouth still need to play Oxford and us.

We still need to play Blackburn, I could go on.

Point is No two teams are taking three points in any of those scenarios.

You’d be looking at a minor miracle for Sheffield United to be in any danger of going down.

Especially given your superior goal difference. It would need to be a complete capitulation that I don’t see coming. Appreciate yesterday was disappointing but you still got a point at the end of the day.

Exactly this. But we like to moan like fuck as a fan base.

Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh is happier

 

[mattbianco1]

With all the bottom 6 playing eachother tomorrow, we'll be dragged right into it when all 6 win

Nobody seriously thinks we're going down.

Not even the person who started this daft thread.

There’s nothing wrong with moaning.

It’s when you’ve got half your fan base trying to kiss the ring of a man who had nothing to do with winning the PL for winning the PL and the other half want to have him hanged from the scaffolding of the king power with a Cambodia flag draped over him that you have a real problem

 

[Racing Blade]

As many have said, it's statistically very unlikely we go down, but it might be a lot closer than it looks now, by early May.

Leicester, Charlton, WBA and Oxford all have 3 points to be automatically added, due to fixtures against Wednesday.

It's plausible that we fail to win any of our next three, so this thread could be resurfacing.

Breezy football? Well it was a bit windy yesterday.

Was a bit windy indoors last night after that vindaloo

A least the end-of-season lap of honour will be interesting!

The part that bothers me is Wilders its going to be a really tough pre season. We know the seasons over but you would expect more focus on whats in front of us before the end of this season. I honestly dont see how a pre season can turn 60 minute fitness into 100 minute fitness. Why have we seen no improvement fitness wise since he came back?. Im not expecting much improvement unless its a clear out and a whole mass recruitment. The lack of fitness of our current squad is appalling.

I’ll be leaving on the final whistle. I have very little respect for the current squad with very few exceptions. Unprofessional, weak minded and lacking in heart or any desire to take responsibility.

 

[cahill]

That we will have to avoid defeat at Derby County to avoid relegation.I am old enough to remember last game defeats resulting in “the drop” and this season has the stench of a repeat of Walsall,Wigan & Chelsea,there are probably others as well,but if you can’t defend properly you are F…..D !!

Now I’m stressed You sadist you

 

[100% part time blade]

Anyone seriously thinking we might still get relegated needs to head down to the bookies.
500-1.

If it happens, you could probably pay your mortgage off, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.

I've heard we've invited Dean Hammond and Martyn Woolford back to lead it

That's fair enough, Nick.

I haven't been to the last two home matches and I've been happy enough with with what i've done instead. I've made my mind up I won't be renewing, too. I'm so fed up with the time-wasting, play acting and just the general attitude of footballers and managers in general. The game has become a get together for show ponies and virtue signallers and I don't enjoy any of it anymore.

The England v Uruguay match last week was the final straw for me as I found the attitude and approach of the Uruquay players utterly reprehensible. No one pays money to see that kind of anti-football shit for 96 minutes.

Love united, hate football.

In that case, I'm in!

What is the problem with your club ? Your owners obviously supported you with signings and at least one good manager choice otherwise you wouldnt have won the PL. How as it gone so wrong in the last few years
Remember Filbert Street proper football ground Im assuming you dont regret moving ?

I’m sure you are a decent bloke that can statistically provide a sensible reason that it would be “ a minor miracle for Sheffield United to be in any danger of going down “
I am sorry,but we have a history of providing negative miracles on the last day of the season,a complete capitulation prior to the last day is quite possible……if you can’t defend you are are dead and buried !!

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

If Oxford and Leicester can make up 2 points a game then they deserve to stay up. I'm the most pessimistic Blade going, but even I don't think we will lose the next six.

Sorry mate,but you are behind me in the pessimistic ‘blades’ league.Unfortunately,you know like i do that we are quite capable of going into the last game of the season needing a point to stay up.
We have history,and more important,we can’t defend.

Just checked Bet365 :

Bet365 relegation from championship 2025/26
Sheff Utd 500/1

Put £10 on,it’ll pay the Gas & Lecky for the next 3 years !!

I know mate, that’s why we are dead and buried

I still maintain the fact you’ll be just fine.

Great question a YouTube video involving that wanker that ruined Sunderland can explain quicker than me typing out five paragraphs for those interested. We are in deep trouble.



I don’t regret the move no but filbert street was special, the away end being in that little shed right next to our kop made for some chant banter you didn’t get at other grounds.

 

[Lane Ender]

If we finish 19th or below it’s a total failure.
Any other club other than us Wilder would have gone after the Norwich game.
