European football - ready for this at the lane

[BadgersBigToe]

I did say when we lost at Millwall sending us to the bottom of L1 we would be in europe in 4 years time.

You were correct......Spain once and Portugal twice

 

[ForgeBlade]

We sit 5th, with a good chance of playing European football next season, but all we can think of is chasing Chelsea down for the final champs league spot. It’s mental, and I fucking love it.

4 years ago we were struggling in league 1. Just fucking think about that. 4 years, that's all.

Jesus Christ...

That music sends shivers down the old broken spine !

Dare to dream ?

27,000 votes and we're edging it


I may have accidentally indicated to the forum that I voted wolves. I mean, they're a good side and I'm a pessimist.

 

[YES Blade]

With the teams around us resuming their European campaigns soon, it will give us a slight advantage in the league.

Still don’t think we’ll catch Chelsea to be honest, a top half finish and getting to the FA Cup final will do me.

Having seen the new picture of Sander drinking it in after today's game, and loving his new anthem based on an Oasis classic, I thought you might like this...

How dare you talk so negative!! A top half finish & WINNING the FA Cup Final will do!!

Champs League and FA Cup at minimum or Tufty out.

If we finish 4th we go into qualifying round. Can we stopping messing about and aim for 3rd so we straight into group stage?

Nope. This used to be the case, but all 4 PL teams qualify automatically now, so 4th'll do for me!

However: were we to finish 4th, behind Liverpool, Man City and Leicester, and were Spurs or Chelsea to win the Champions League, and were Man Utd or Arsenal or Wolves to win the Europa League, we would (I'm 98% sure on this) miss out on the Champions League altogether - despite finishing 4th.

So, in summary - it's time to stop cheering for other English teams in European competitions!

I've never liked this tune but now it's growing on me

I’m taking it one step at a time, we haven’t made a final in the best part of 100 years so just getting to the final would be amazing progress.

But I agree, if you get there you’re very disappointed if you lose the final.

 

[Rusty view]

Maybe. Just maybe........

Surely Definitely Maybe.......

 

[BladesOnToast]

Not according to the football experts in today's Observer.

From the report on Man U - Wolves game "[the result] means each remain six points behind the West Londoners in the race for a champions league berth".

From report on our game "After promotion last season [the Blades] now sit 12 points above the relegation zone".

Below the radar, Blades, below the radar....

I’m hoping we get to play Olympiakos

And me.

I'm a real Grecophile and Olympiacos are my team.

I've a fair collection of Olympiacos shirts but I don't wear then in Greece, in fact I don't even wear United home shirts in Greece ever since some idiot Panathanaikos took objection to one in Agios Nikolaos

 

[Maidenhead]

We’ve got a Norwegian now. They’re Vikings. Their gods are all hard as fuck, axes, swords, spears, lightning bolts, thunder, all that palaver. They drink strong ale from the skulls of their defeated enemies. Football gods? Pah.

And if that wasn’t enough to put the shits up you, we’ve got a big lanky Geordie who laughs at head wounds that would put Barry Bannan in a full body cast.

And we’ve got a whole squad of proper men, led by the best thing that football in this city has seen in a long, long time.

Football gods? We’ll laugh at you while drinking our beer. It’s our turn now, so bugger off, or tomorrow you drink in Valhalla, Sunny Jim.

All well and good, except that the geordie is a mackem

We kicked their backsides at Stamford Bridge in 1066 though sv. After that they were never the same.
Couldn't even take 3,000 to QPR
