If offered now would you take....

[Bladepicker]

If you were offered the below now would you take:

Second place and promotion - something we have done twice in the last few years and four times in living memory.

Finishing 3 - 6 and a play off final (not winning the play offs, just being at the point of winning the semi) - yes we are shit at them but the potential to go up winning what would be the biggest game of lots of our lives and probably the biggest game/trophy we are likely to ever get the chance to win at Wembley in our lifetimes.

I know that's quite defeatist but honestly the chances of us winning a major trophy become slimmer by the year, I really want to shuffle off this earth, rolling a seven having seen us win something at Wembley. The only realistic way to do that currently is in a play off final. I'd love us to win the league but, failing that, I honestly would be ok with a play off final appearance rather than finishing second again and it has been long enough since our last final fuck up for me to get excited by it.

 

[McGrath]

Never ever ever do I want to go to a play off final ever ever again

 

[mattbianco1]

If you had put Guaranteed Promotion at Wembley, I would have chosen that.

 

[thehet]

If we could take points off Leeds and Burnley at home and not chuck games away like the Sunderland one, we probably have he best shot at the title we’ve ever had.

 

[Billyblade]

Winning the Play Off Final must be one of the most exhilarating feelings as a football fan. I'd love to do it but we know full well the one time we do do it it'll be the most heart-stopping, backs to the wall, tin-hat finish to a game ever and we'll all nearly die several times.

Finishing second would be mildly less heart-attack inducing but if I'm honest I don't want us to get promoted at all

 

[Bladepicker]

If you had put Guaranteed Promotion at Wembley, I would have chosen that.

That would have been too easy though and what surely everyone would choose. I want to know if you'd gamble!!!

 

[LudlamBlade]

Would you rather marry the woman you're with (attractive, stable, bit boring though) and know you'll be happy (if a bit bored)...

...or would you rather risk the lot on nobbing her fit sister...who you've tried it on with several times...and always failed.

Choices, choices

No. Why gamble when option 1 is guaranteed promotion?

(Oh, and to even try it on with her sister you've got to take her for an expensive weekend in London, whether you fail or not)

I know someone that did that several days after he got married.

Suffice to say the outcome hasn't given him long term happiness.

 

[Bladepicker]

No. Why gamble when option 1 is guaranteed promotion?

For the reasons stated. Yes I'd want us to go up but I want to see us win at Wembley, to do that we realistically need to be in a play off final so I'm taking that chance.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Not sure my nerves could take the second option but I’ve voted for it anyway as I’d love to see us win at Wembley.

The thought of playing Wednesday in the playoffs semis though is enough to make me reconsider my choice

 

[Houston_Blade]

I’d love to win in the play offs but I’ve seen a few and we haven’t scored yet so it’s unlikely.

Plus if we go up in the top 2 then we can always trot out the line: “we get longer to plan for next season” before we don’t plan at all and make all signings in the last week of the window.

 

[Shadota]

Guaranteed promotion > possible promotion.

When there is no difference in reward, it's a no-brainer.

Why go through all the stress of the play offs, when we could finish 2nd and watch everyone else suffer instead?

I see a blackmailing opportunity present itself.....not that I would stoop so low

Hey you never know we could get relegated and win the papa John's trophy or whatever it's called at Wembley

 

[Keen Blade]

We've lost PO Finals at Old Wembley , Cardiff & New Wembley.

We've lost PO Finals in L1 & Championship.

We've lost FA Cup Semis at Old Wembley , Old Trafford & New Wembley.

We've never won a major game since probably 1936.

Only a masochist Blade would choose PO route over Auto route.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

I'd fancy our chances at Wembley with CW and AK at the helm.
Also probably a last chance for me to see us win at Wembley

 

[The Crab]

Autos 100%

Too much heartbreak from Wembley. It’d be like sticking your head in a lions mouth and flicking its bollocks with a towel.

Then going back for seconds

Then thirds

Then fourths

Fuck that for a game of soldiers

That reminds me, your missus and her sister needed me to pop round for business reasons. Please DM me there numbers and a few of their profile photos.

Who's voting for playoffs and why?!

Would you get a chance to Flick its gonads with a towel though

 

[Corkblade]

I've been at every play off final, you'd want to be mentally deranged to pick a play off final with our record, over automatic promotion,s it's a no from me

 

[Tony Currie]

The thought of playing Wednesday in the playoffs semis though is enough to make me reconsider my choice

Not in a million years is it going to happen - they have no money to strengthen and Windass is apparently off!

wednesday aint getting to the play offs no way their finishing above boro and baggies utb ftp

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I’ve not checked their fixtures but if my memory is correct they’ve got most of the top teams to play away too.

Away: Leeds, Burnley, West Brom, Norwich, Blackburn, Watford.

 

[Blade for Sale]

Would you rather shag a 9/10 or risk it for a 10/10 who has a 50/50 chance of giving you a vicious STD?

 

[Broomhall Blade]

100% 2nd you still get exactly the same just minus a trophy.
While it would be nice to win the championship it's not the end of the world.

Play offs let's face it we are crap at them, but the thought of the S6 Scrubbers making it into them you just know we would play them in the final.We would end up getting a player sent of the the ball would then hit Pattersons big arse and go in.
The thought of 75,000 delusional piglets in their Sanderson and Chupa a Chups shirts celebrating dosent bare thinking about.
It's not that I'm scared of them because I think 9 times out of 10 we beat them but you just know what will happen, even though we are apparently the spozzy ones.

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

I'd take the play-off final if it was vs the pigs and a chance to avenge our Wembley loss in 93.

Otherwise automatic is fine for me.

Need nerves of steel for a game like that.

 

[JustLookin]

I’d go for the play offs option with a chance to stay in a division where we can compete and not just keep getting our arses handed to us on a weekly basis.
