Jubilee

[JJ Sefton]

The last time a British monarch celebrated a diamond jubilee Sheffield United went on to win the League.

Believe!

And we're pretty good at doing things that haven't been done before - losing 4 play off finals, failing to go up without conceding a goal in all three play off matches, only team in the third division to fail to get promoted on 90 points etc etc. So now it's time to win the division, which we have never done, and in so doing collect the full set of league titles from divisions one to four.

We had a chance to be the first ever team to win all 4 divisions before.
We blew it and Wolves achieved it instead.

In all the times we have been in the running for promotion out of this division I don't think we have ever really had a serious chance of taking the championship - not at the business end of the season. We have always been a few points too far back to stand a realistic chance of making up the gap.

I wasn't saying winning all four had never been done before. I was saying it's never been done by us before.

I know you weren't OB. I was just pointing out yet another of our inglorious disappointments

We've been given another chance then...

If there were a team that could win the division and still not be promoted, then Sheffield United are that team...
