How are we going to fuck it up this time?

[Panini]

Happy New Year to all.

Have you thought about just trying to enjoy it?

 

[Sheff de party]

Happy new year everyone! I think we won't fuck it up as our team is good, the squad is nearly up to full strength (for the first time this season) and we have done well, so far, with terrible injuries. It will take an almighty collapse, injury to key players and an unprecedented run of form from a club around 35 - 39 points to catch us. I don't think they are good enough, so I'm going for automatic promotion!

Then again I've just got home and fairly pissed up, so I might post a different opinion in the cold light of day, when the benign glow of John Jameson's wears off!

UTB

We don’t need Sander Berge to go up

 

[CPB]

Keeping N'Diaye is key.

 

[Charlieblade]

The new owner is McCabe

Ouch! That hurts.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Ouch! That hurts.

I have night sweats thinking about it

A forum member finds a magic lamp and asks the genie for the Blades to be promoted to the 'Premiership' and we are forced to play Rugby Union for a season.

 

[derfblade.3]

Nervously looking over our shoulder at the galloping advance of our neighbours to the summit of the pub league following momentous victories over sublime teams like Morecambe, Cheltenham, Accrington, Burton, Fleetwood, Cambridge and Forest Green Rovers will lead to us falling apart at the seams. We're doomed!

 

[JJBlade]

Please do. We gigged two venues in Sheffield last March. No one from S24SU showed up, mind ...

The gig was fucking hard, but enjoyable work. Audience was manic.

pommpey

The audience being manic wouldn't have encouraged anyone from S2 to show up

 

[Eels]

Brighton recall Khadra and loan him back to Blackburn - they win twenty games on the bounce.

 

[Sheffsteel]

The obvious dangers to going on a bad run are

1: injuries to the star player or main striker
2: loads of injuries to squad or
3: drastic loss of form amongst several players.

However we have a good level of insurances against all those negative possibilities.

1: We don't have a single star player, we have several very good players. Also unusually we're not relying on a striker to score loads of goals. This season our goals have come from defenders, midfielders and strikers, spread throughout the squad.

2: We've already had loads of injuries amongst the squad for almost the entire 1st half of the season and we're still officially the 2nd best team
when having a severely weakened bench and having to play players out of position.

3: Our squad is probably the best it's been in our entire history.
Our 2nd choice players are almost as good (and in some positions the same level) as the 1st choice.
So if anyone in out 1st 11 loses form, we can easily replace then with an equally excellent player.

Fighting King Kong in Sheffield 2? Think I've sobered up now!

They actually meet for their final showdown at Swillsborough, laying waste to the place whilst improving it at the same time.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Got to be a negative nancy, after all, I'm a Blade!

Nuclear war? Global pandemic? Godzilla attack? Ndiaye and Berge sold to Arsenal for Arteta's bumfluff and a half-eaten packet of Love Hearts (fun size)?

Don’t worry about it, we’re Blades. We’ve seen a hell of a lot more famine than feast

 

[Northyorksblade]

But hasn't it been great with no VAR for the last two seasons, just enjoying scoring a goal?

That's the spirit.

 

[Frank the tank]

In all seriousness isnt the ched year the only time we have fucked it up ?
Im 50 and in my lifetime i can think of numerous times weve got promoted when in a good position

Wilder twice
Warnock
Basset twice

Our play off record is atrocious but the only time i can think of us being in the autos and looking good before dropping out is the ched year so why the pessimism ?

 

[Shirty Blade]

Hecky invents a time machine and signs the following players from the past and puts them into the first team:

Nicky Johns, Paul Williams, Martyn Woolford, Len De Goey, Danny Cadamarteri, Stewart Houston, Jay McEvely, Steve Thompson, Jonathan Hunt, Mick Henderson and Dean Hammond.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

The whole back line and midfield get injured after an accident on the Congo river rapids during the team bonding trip to Alton towers. We have to play a back 5 of u23s and lose every game in 2023.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Old Brian Moore’s Almanac 2023 (Crab Industries “Bettis” edition) alludes to a toxic combination of Jeremy Hunt, Monkeypox, chemtrails formed from Bazza’s wig glue, and Widler.

Either all at once in an Extinction Level Event during early May, or incrementally in differentiated doses following QPR Away.

[TimofeeVee]

I'm going with hecky to be arrested for people trafficking, and it transpires that it all started with wilder and most of the team have been smuggled in illegally and are playing under duress, panorama 90 minute special

Hecky gives away his location, ordering a pizza from Pinocchio's......he was in Sheffield all this time!!?

 

[Ned the Donkey]

But hasn't it been great with no VAR for the last two seasons, just enjoying scoring a goal?

Yes. It really fucking has.

 

[S64 Blade]

That walrus that was in Scarborough yesterday will probably turn out to be a scout for an invasion of arctic animals, who’ll invade Britain in March, after being pissed off about global warming and us pumping raw sewage into the sea. The season will inevitably be cancelled, thereafter.

[reedy63]

Put it this way, it,s ours to lose. we are in a great position. all we need to do is keep it up.

 

[bornablade]

I think China very soon will lift the ban on travelling outside the country.

 

[wavy-blade]

The rots started Blackburn have just won a 1-0 thriller , if we lose against QPR it will be melt down on here !!

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Ollie Norwood is stood waiting to take his penalty already.

 

[Bladesince59]

Khadra is no loss

 

[Nightsweats]

I have night sweats thinking about it

In your dreams!

 

[Silkblade]

Injuries and we will finish 7th probably. UTB

 

[Steelcitysenior]

McBurnie and Ndiaye are going to be caught having a threesome with a 5 year old cocker spaniel.

Did someone say Spaniel, not guilty your Honour.
