The footballing gods.

I bet you wish now that you’d kept your powder dry eh SR? I reckon you thought ‘what could possibly go wrong at this stage of the season...apart from plague or pestilence’

I wish I'd said (posted) that!

I did call it in post #14. Dem gods will always find a way to screw us.

And the pigs build an all seater stadium near Barnsley with a 25k capacity lol

Sigh, that’s dome it. I can see the headlines now. ‘European football suspended for a season due to Corona virus fears’.

Lottery numbers?

"They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth."

They’ve had it in for us for years and years, from the Chelsea game 93/94 to the Adkins era and everything inbetween but one of these gods must’ve had a little bit of spare time on his hands in early-mid may 2016 and gone through a bit of paperwork. On seeing this paperwork ran upto the main footballing gaffer god and said
“I think we owe these lot something special”

Looks like we’re getting it.

The rest is history and the future involves champions league finals and mixing it with Real Madrid,Liverpool,Bayern Munich etc in a few decades we’ll all be reminiscing on our 30k single tiered kop about that final in Amsterdam against AC Milan when George Baldock scored the winning penalty after Dean Henderson did the old spaghetti legs in the shoot out.

Add in missing out on Europe in 1975 because one of the 'Gods' decided to change the Inter City's Cup to the UEFA Cup, Don Givens' penalty, Seamans' save at Old Trafford, 11 straight play off/semi final defeats, losing a penalty shoot out after the other side miss their 1st 3 penalty's, Ched's wrongful conviction & Pigs overturning 4 pt gap.
I'd say we're well in deficit where the football Gods are concerned.

The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.

You should have bought a lottery ticket too

I've said many times that it is not the footballing gods.

They are in the queue waiting to put the boot in, but sporting god etiquette demands that those with the earlier grievance go first.

It is the CRICKETING GODS that have done this. We were a cricket club first and allowed a football team winter access onto the hallowed turf. We then took the piss somewhat by taking over and then building a bloody great stand on the cricket pitch.

you've missed out going down on the last day of the 1968 season.

Oh yes, 67/68, the season those anti SUFC Football's 'Gods' persuaded the gullible, pathetic Board to sell both Alan Birchenall & Mick Jones in the same season.
THE SAME F##KIN SEASON FFS.
Me dad still shakes his head silently, whilst looking towards the heavens, at the mere mention of either name.



Another heartbreaking opportunity in our history where the SUFC Board failed to show ambition after finishing the previous two seasons in the top 10.

A dark force works against us. I’m serious. I’m not into 9/11, JFK, 5G conspiracy theories. I don’t believe in aliens but I’m certain a dark outer force is against our club.

Could work in our favour

If they close but take any of the award options .like France has done we will be in Europe
We may have fizzled out and missed out


So don't think we are cursed just yet

Never believed in them until now.
Imagine it the other lot at S6 had made it to the Prem.
No Pandemic.
World Economy booms.
Eufa decide to give all premier league teams 80 million to do their grounds up.
English Premier league decide to introduce a draft system allowing them to have the first 5 choice of Europes finest under 23s.
Tango loses 15 stones and ends up on " Come Swine with me."
FA give one team a bye straight to the cup final. They get drawn out.
FIFA put them straight into pot B of the next world cup.
Footballing God's why always the Blades.
