I feel sick

Anyway, 5 years ago today we beat Bristol City 1-3.

The finest result of our entire stay in League One.

They were top and ended up winning the league with about 140 points.

And we were losing 1-0 at HT.
 
We will feel even sicker if we miss out on Europe by 2 points. We will all think back to that Didzy goal away at Spurs.


Or what if it goes the other way, we make it on goal difference and that goal that wasn't given could be the reason we make it

if that didsy goal had been given the game could have been totally different, we could have ended up losing at spurs, who knows
 
It’s bloody Valentine’s Day and I have just told her summer holiday is I hold as funds need diverting! Me thinks I should have waited a while ! 🤪
 
I took a huge dose of psylocibe semilenceata at stonehenge during the summer solstice in 2017.
I know where shit is at. I know reality has to resume at some point. 🍄
 
Think some Piggy must have spiked my drink with Deludamol tonight. Just got home, looked at the forum and everyone is going on about us being in either the Europa League or the Champion's League next season! WTF? I just wanted to give a good account of ourselves and stay up! Bloody good stuff this Deludamol!
 
The conclusion of the court case seems to have revealed so much about the way this club was run. This isn't an anti McCabe rant, rather an insight into where we were and where, under new and apparently more ambitious ownership, we seem headed. Time will be the great leveller, but this season will go down as one of this club's most adventurous and galvanising episodes in United's history. Suddenly we appear to have grasped the opportunity to step forward, with a manager who is arguably the finest this club has had, and a board who, from all accounts, are reading from the same page and showing the same level of ambition, something I once resigned myself to believing would never happen. Not now it seems, and the fact that the team are performing so well in their return to the Premier Division is all any of us could have wished for.

There's part of me that wants to wait for three or four seasons before commenting on the turnaround in our fortunes, but this season has been spectacularly good, so much so that it feels like the re-birth of a club that had lost it's mojo and were prepared to be part of that group that were happy to be no more than one of football's also-rans.

I know, I know, we've not achieved anything yet, that is unless you consider the rise under our exceptional management, culminating in such a fantastic season, one that has delivered such amazing rewards, with the promise that under Chris Wilder we'll show far more of what most of us imagined was never going to be rightfully ours.....how wrong was I. No assumptions or presumptions, no doubt Wilder is reminding the squad of exactly this point, but I prefer to trust my own eyes and the way we're adapting to the toughest of standards in what is clearly one of the toughest divisions in Europe if not the world. My one wish is that what we've seen this season will become the norm of this great club, and that we, the supporters, are party to the evolution of this wonderful football club as it makes the type of strides no one once felt possible. UTMB!!!
 
I agree completely.

Our current strategy of not having a scooby what 'trad nsters' are will definitely have to change. Maybe we will even have a social media account exclusively devoted to this important subject. Maybe....

#Free_trad_nsters
#trad_nsters_are_innocent
#etc_etc_etc

Are you always a joker that's not funny ?
You know what I meant and some people have to a be a sarcastic idiot just saying
 
But but...... in our first game in Europe 6 of our players are certain to get season ending injuries and don’t you all realise it’s a mathematical fact that if you qualify for Europe you end up relegated the following season and then we will probably lose Wilder and that downward momentum will see us back in league one but but...........
 
Without being accused of being a party pooper, it seems a proportion of us are being carried along and sucked in by the strategic media ‘love in’.

We are, in typical British media terms, being built up beyond what we’re used to. Why? So the story of our fall from grace is all the more poignant or in the unlikely event, we don’t, the media can claim ‘they prophesied the second coming’.

Also, with the league over early, it makes for a different story.

Realistically, the big guns, with the bigger squads, experience, etc. will end the season stronger than us and we’ll finish maybe 8th, 9th, or lower. Still, what an achievement. Think about it.

My biggest concern is that if this does happen, there could be a sense of regret and disappointment, given the European talk and that’s a shame. True, we may become victims of our own success but we need to be objective.

We’d all be delighted if it does happen, and yes I accept with some, the European talk is ironic and traditionally self-depreciating but for others, it reminds me of the pigs under Francis in the early 90’s. We’re beginning to take ourselves too seriously and that’s not like us.

Look, this season has been the best, let’s all make sure we remember it that way.
 
Agree with much of that. I think the point is that we are having the times of our lives and love talking about the possibility. I haven’t seen anyone say it’s nailed on that we will qualify.

And in complete mitigation is certainly beats the crap out of talking about a tough game at home to gillingham 😀
 



They're stressing me out again. Champions League, Europa, or a nothing 7th finish :).

The stress.
 
We will only get stronger and better. by the way according to a Pig on F/Heaven, this is the worst Prem League in history.
 
City will appeal, the hearing will not happen until after the end of the season so they will be in the CL next season and it will still be top 4.
Why make a statement that contradicts the facts of the matter so greatly ?
Why not do a little research and then comment ?

It doesn't contradict, but there is a bit of educated supposition in there. They have made the appeal to CAS, who generally take their time about these things, which probably means City will be in next seasons competition appeal pending. They will still be found guilty as CAS rarely overturn anything by UEFA, but it will be a reduced punishment of a 1 year ban for 2021-22.
 
As a Leicester fan, who went to Uni up in Sheffield, it's fair to say i'm pretty pleased that my adopted second club/home is now joining us on this great expedition of disassembling the so called 'Big six'.

You will be told that 'x' player/manager/coach has outgrown your club and will NEED to move on in order to reach the heights they could.
You will be told that because you can't compete financially, your club will NEED to be 'realistic' about what you can achieve and thus sell your better players/lose your better coaches.
You will be told that you are simply a flash in the pan....A 'One season Wonder'.....Well, it is down now to you, Sheffield United, the NEED to prove them wrong.

The moment for me, when I realized that you are likely to be more than just a flash in the pan? Your January signings.
The Model that a non-established 'Big/Top 6' club has to follow in order to get success, is that of Borussia Dortmund.
Buying players with huge potential, at the very beginning of their career - Berge and Retsos are two players, in my mind which fit that perfectly.

The similarities between what you have done, and what we did, are vast......Wolves too, but to a much less extent. (Neither of us had a Foreign Agent on board to assist).
Don't be surprised by the love in you are now receiving from the Media....And don't be surprised that it will soon end once the media realizes that this isn't a 'Fairytale' after all, but dare i suggest, a much longer story.


There will be bumps along the way, no doubt.
The second season is a test, as you become a predator, rather than the prey.
You will be presented with a new influx of fan, who is not satisfied that you are not beating Burnley 3-0 at home in the first 5 minutes.

And the big one......There will be talk of Wilder's departure.....Which will hopefully not happen, unless his daughters develop a fondness for throwing racial insults at Thai women during Orgies.



Strap yourselves in, enjoy the ride, and most importantly, don't believe it has to stop just because the Fooballing Media Elite is telling you so.

That's more likely but both parties are likely to ask for the process to be concluded before the season ends
 
ITS very much like when Leicester won the title . Every week fans from everywhere kept saying .no they will implode .they'll have a bad run . They will bottle it.

But the gods shone on them .

It's starting to feel like the path in front of us is being showered with petals . Welcoming us to a bright new future.

Or is Shred taking the football gods out on the piss down heavens version of London Road
 
I remember Tuesday night games in L1 when there were no Prem or La Liga games on, but the Champions league scores were read out at half time.

We all commented about how they might as well be played on Mars, for all the relevance to us.

Who in their right mind, would think that just a few years later we'd be in with a shout.

Pinch yourselves Blades, pinch yourselves..

#unreal_times

I wish they’d have put the champions league games on the big screen tbh.
 
Why ? As it stands they are banned from Europe next season what benefit would delaying the decision have ?

An extended appeal means they can compete in the CL next season, another years worth of that income isn't to be sniffed at even for City. Also gives them more time to sort finances, player contracts and the like.
 



So should we be hosting champions league football at the lane who’s gonna change their mind about half and half scarfs?
