Back to Back to Back?

[Cerberus Blade]

This will probably upset many folk from Sheffield seeing as it's typical to think of the glass half empty but is there any reason why we couldn't achieve back to Back promotions and beat that other Sheffield team to the Prem?

I'm not wanting to get ahead of ourselves but I think there are reasons for optimism - not least the manager and his ability to sign decent players and get them to give 100%. But if Adkins can do it (after inheriting a very good squad) then anyone can do it!

I don't bet - but I wonder what odds you'd get on this now? For sure they will be shorter at the end of this season!

No of course you're not.

Why not lump on winning the Champions league in 2020 while you're at it?

Please football gods do not punish this poor man, for he know not what he say.

There's been some serious drinking going on over the last couple of days.

I think this needs to be merged with the Trophy Cabinet thread and put in the 'Are you out of your fucking mind' section of the forum.

Why did you have to go and do that?

Nope! Champions league definitely not. There's a big difference there. Now you are talking about the Real Madrids, Barcelonas, Bayern Munichs, Paris St Germans, AC Milans, of this world - which we are not.

But Southampton, Norwich, Swansea? I think we are comfortable at that level aren't we?

How empty does your glass look?

Fuck 'em Cerberus. I'm with you on this.

6 months ago we weren't even comfortable with Colchester, Shrewsbury or Walsall so lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

Get promoted and spend a bit then we could have a great chance because this manager/club fit we've currently got is quite a rare thing.

You must be smacked off your tits
The Championship is a lot more competetive now than when those 3 teams got promoted
We would have to spend heavily to get anywhere near the playoffs

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

I know this is a forum to post whatever one wants but in the name of Allah or whichever imaginary friend you care to name unlless this is a piss take why try to outdo the fucking arrogant bastard pigs with this kind of thing.
Christ on a bike.
I'll take a fucking point at Southend,3 if at all possible and then look to the next game.
I hope and expect that's as far as Wilder is looking,and he'll do for me.
Delusions of grandeur can be found in S6,not S2.

Cerebus, are you in the Derby Tup quaffing pint after pint of "Old Star Jumper" ale?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Excellent! Just what I expected!

Enjoy the rest of your half empty glass. I hope Wilder has more ambition than you!

One thing I've learned in life (via the school of hard knocks and the University of Life) is that if you don't believe you can you definitely won't!

I'm not Nigel Adkins btw - I know I may be sounding like him though to some of you!

Put a tenner on it will you?

Take my advice! What to lose? The price of three pints that you'll end up pissing against the wall versus a nice little earner in 2019 that will pay for a family day out at Tay Barns?

The Victor Meldrew's of S24SU seem to forget this.

0% chance this happening.

3 yr plan. Steady progression. PL by 2020.

You sound like a goose at the head of an avian 'V'. We're all flapping along behind you pal but some of us are muttering under our wings and questioning your sanity. We are, after all, Sheffield Geese.

Honk.

Certainly don't want to bet against us. Just don't want to tempt fate.

Being ahead in penalty shoot out against Udders
Being ahead of Pigs on points with games in hand when Ched got sent down
Being in the lead against Hull at Wembley
I could go on and on and on.

Each time I foolishly allowed the thought 'We are actually going to do this' creep into my head.
Never again. And nor should any Blade.

 

[SteveBlade]

There's being optimistic and then there's getting ahead of yourself.

'Oo but I'm a glass half full motherfucker, if you don't believe you can then you won't.'

Shut up. You and your clichés.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Colombian Marching Powder?

It's good shit if it is.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

No chance. We have very few players even capable of making the step up. We will need a full squad overhaul to even survive. Let's just take it steady.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

The Victor Meldrew's of S24SU seem to forget this.

The clue's in the phrase "spend a bit"

 

[I should coco]

We are, after all, Sheffield Geese.

Any chance we could just divert over S6 as this goose feels a runny crap coming on?

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Whilst it would be great to dream, there is absolutely no chance.

The Premier and the Championship have both stepped up since we dropped into L1.

It is only an opinion, but it was said there was a big gap between Prem and Champ 6 years ago - I think the big gap is between Champ and L1.

The Prem is 3 leagues in 1, and the bottom of the Prem is more similar to the top of the Champ now.

If we go up this season, I would settle now for 19th, 20th or 21st in the Champ................but then again, we have CW & AK

Don't mistake possible for likely.

Please don't pluralise clubs of which there are only one, it makes you sound like a half-witted TV pundit.

There's a fine line between optimism and delusion, you would know, as you crossed said line a few miles back.

Dont forget , weve already done it before
not that youd think so
some in here will only cling to the belief we are only capable of constant disappointment
each and every single season , for ever

they dont even believe their own eyes in seeing how we are doing now

 

[Sean Thornton]

Oh no, they've linked up

Remind me how many promotions we've won this season so I can stop believing the hard cold evidence of the last decade.
Thought so.
