The most sheffield united bottlejob yet

[blade too long]

I've got the 2010/11 season on the phone & they'd like a chat

whats the likelihood of having 4 managers and using 42 players next season
and mccabes gone

 

[YES Blade]

Failure to beat the top 6 sides recently or even get a draw out of these games has been horrendous and so damaging,

Damaging, but it’s not ended our season.

You can take a negative view that we’ve got no chance now and we’re going to lose in the playoffs or you can look at it positively that we’ve still got the chance to get our shit together and finish second.

A win at Sunderland gives us that bit of breathing space back again and again relies on Middlesbrough winning two in a row and us losing two in a row for them to over take us. The longer we can keep them at arms length the better as games start running out.

A draw wouldn't be a disaster but a win, preferably by at least 2 goals also gives a bit of wiggle room with goal difference if it gets that far, which isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

Pipped on the last day on goals scored, it's written in the stars!

Nice looking back and seeing the real faith of our ability from a selection of our fans. Sometimes there's not enough ovens in Sheffield to bake all the humble pies needed

You think they won't spend again in the championship? They have before but this time they have a half decent manager and not agents picking who they should sign. Time to wake up.

And guess who the real bottle jobs were

In 1995/96, I think that Newcastle were 12 points clear in December. In January, with 13 games left, they were 8 clear with a game in hand. During February and March they won twice in eight games (sound familiar?). They ended up 4 points behind Man Utd at the end of the season. So a 16 point swing.

The only other right royal fuck up I can think of which is comparable to the one that I’m currently watching is Real Madrid in 2003/04 in La Liga. They had a 12 point lead over 2nd place with 12 games to go and finished 4th, ending up 7 points behind the winners. So a 19 point swing, which I think is the record in the decent leagues.

I’ll make the bold prediction that we’ll better that 19 point swing this season with Boro, and I’ll also predict that we’ll finish outside of the play offs.

If that does happen, I don’t want any of the current playing staff to ever, and I mean ever put on a Blades shirt again. I want every single one of them out of the club. The shit ones can go and the better ones be sold to fund the rebuild. I’d also want the management staff & coaches gone as well.

This shit happens at United because it’s accepted and people know they can away with it.

What an epic rant....how did we get 16 more points than boro got
91 points the most ever at this level by a United team and not one fit to wear a shirt, despite getting 1 more point than last seasons champions Fulham

I can’t be factually correct all the time and sometimes I only have a moment in which to write down a knee jerk reaction, otherwise it’s power & applicability is lost.

However, I'm grateful when my rare misjudgments are highlighted, so as to remind people that I’m not infallible.

As an aside, disregarding the actual content of my post, I think that we can all agree that it’s structure, grammar and phrasing are things of beauty.

9 out of 10 for grammar
But you've been turned down as replacement for Notradamus

Over the season the melodrama of multiple flouncers, many of them entirely self-regarding, some of them self-anointed as ’important’ or ‘controversial’, a good number of them regular posters, far exceeds the factoid fuckups of you, my friend.

The Blades are going up, the are staying down. What more do we need?

The Doors are still mainly shit, though.

Totally agree, The Doors are shite

And guess who the real bottle jobs were

Thanks for bringing this up.

Some proper melts in this thread (stand up Rifleman, Metal blade and JJBlade to name three). Humble pie is gas mark 5.

Some sensible comments amongst the gloom, but really, some of you should really be ashamed at what tripe you came out with.

I'm a happy clapper, so I've had a great season. Loved almost every minute of it.

Automatics in 2nd place

91 points (best points tally in living memory)

In the autos from October??? and stayed there

Almost the record for lowest number of goals conceded

Promoted with 4 games to go.

16 points clear of Middlesbrough

Cup semi finalists

Hecky and his staff can take a bow.

Fair enough, and thanks for admitting you were spouting total, and utter bollox.

Albeit grammatically correct, so to correct myself, utter bollocks.

Reading through this thread again is a reminder that we’re all fucking wankers at the Lane.

Only when we draw or lose do some of our fans suffer from repetitive flouncicus syndrome. Symptoms include only remembering bad memories, and a turrets approach to dropping any points in a season ....which no team has ever done.

I love threads like this, age like a fine wine

I'm not sure why my three posts on this thread are worth a mention

The signs indicating we would experience what is happening were flashing red a long time ago and those who saw them were slated and derided. Yesterday was the performance of a team and management in freefall. A collective lack of belief and with absolutely no idea whatsoever how to deal with it and salvage something from the game against opposition who largely played with half a mind on the beach. Still it was enough to go home with 3 points as we wandered around aimlessly.
Yesterday was the absolute classic situation where the MANAGER steps up and gives his players a lift and self belief. Our manager has absolutely no game management skills whatsoever which has been plain to see for months. Rabbit in the headlights.

Do you, hand on heart believe our management has the skills and strength of character to inspire a broken squad to lift itself in the manner Dave Bassett would have been able to do? What do you see changing given the opposition over the next few weeks.
Funnily enough I think we'll step up against Blackburn in the cup. It will be fascinating to see if so whether that acts as the catalyst so desperately needed to improve our league performances, which have been average post World Cup at best and hidden behind a reasonable points return. Now we have both poor performances and a falling points return.
Do you think the manager has what is so clearly needed to stop this slow motion car crash?

Looks like he does

 

[Trigger Blade]

I'm not sure why my three posts on this thread are worth a mention

It might be because yours stand out from the crowd as you allied our impending failure with the imminent automatic promotion of our cross city rivals, which, given subsequent events, makes yours look more ridiculous than the average bedwetter’s posts on this thread

 

[Bartleby]

Not to mention melts on shoutbox on matchdays as well, then they completely disappear when we go in front

 

[SwissBlade]

I didn’t know many of these threads even existed until they’ve been bumped the last week or so.

Some proper panic on here in march

 

[SUFC Guy]

When will they learn to keep their powder dry?

Samaritans on speed dial for next season when we will be losing most of our games

Exactly. There seems to be a quite astonshingly large amount of slashers that only log on and spout crap when we are losing or are not playing well. It does seem strange that they all seem to lose the capability to type when we score/take the lead/win.

What is up with these people???

 

[blade too long]

ooooh yes theres loads but no point putting more than necessary

nice to see the BBC is still going strong
the Blades Bedwetting Club that is

The concept of having sex with someone who is masturbating whilst being at a football match has rather put me off my breakfast !!

Well the pigs do still have the play off's to cling to. I stand by what I said about Darren Moore being a decent manager especially when you look at some of the recent shite they have had like the £20 note crusher and him with the Hitler tash who's name I can't even remember. If they do go up Chansiri will put money in we have seen previously FFP means fuck all to them. If Peteboghorror knock them out I will piss mysen laughing.

No mate, we’ve all just had an epiphany moment, that we’re not reyt good.

What’s this, people trawling round the forum for “I told you so’s.”
