I cant explain what Im feeling

"Football Gods" is definitely one term that has really fucking grated on me this season. There's no such thing. You succeed or fail on merit.

Unless you're Sheffield United, in which case the football gods allus have summat out of leftfield up their sleeve.

You say that but Thor just scored a hat trick in the Valhalla cup final with assists from Jesus, Loki and Ra.

 

[Ricky]

I've got a theory that having a genuinely good football team overrides superstitions and the 'football gods'.

 

[JJBlade]

You've done it now disrespecting them bastard fucking twatting cunting football gods.
Why don't people ever learn.

 

[Groucho Blade]

I

this time I know its the real thing
I cant explain what Im feeling

I'm lost for words
I'm in a daze
Stunned and amazed
By those mighty Blades

 

[Stretch]

One game at a time

 

[Ricky]

Got to try and enjoy it because it will probably be a long time before we have anything like this again.

[LoughboroBlade]

I haven't been this confident of a successful end to the season since we beat West Ham 3-0 at the Lane...

 

[Harry's Game]

You aren't a believer in the game changing money appearing and leading to back to back promotions then?

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

And now you're gonna believe uuuuuuuus, the Blades are going up!!

That post reminded me of cooperblade 's similarly confident post on BU the year we won promotion to the Premier League. Let's hope you're spot on as well!

 

[Superblades]

Gonna be a right paddy on here next time we lose one. Ffs!

Said pretty much the same on the Bolton Demise thread yesterday. In the past we have failed because we were shit or we bottled it. This time it's different. Instead of celebrating some of our fans would rather crawl into a fucking hole.

 

[PokerBlade]

Been saying for a couple of months now that if we finish February on top I can't see who's out there that can stop us. Get a result vs. Bristol and we'll leave Scunthorpe and Bolton needing to beat us and a draw or win for us from either (hopefully both) would be huge.

Still a long way to go after that so I'm not saying more than that. I'm not superstitious or anything, I'm just a coward.

 

[Jehovah]

Agreed, we're up. If this league were a penalty shootout, then the opposition have missed their first 3 so we're laughing.

 

[Fairweather67]

Saturday 18th March v Charlton. A 5-0 win in front of 30,000 will do me.

 

[Pinchy]

No. We've had six years of misery. No excitement, exhilaration or enthusiasm permittted at the Lane Library. No criticism of the Trappist fans either. They're too traumatised to make any noise you know....

Well now you've gone and done it....

That's brought the thread down to earth with a bump......Jeff bleeding Bourne!

(Or 'Bourne idle' as he was not so affectionately known ).

I'll concede that it definitely feels like a promotion season but it's still tight. Bolton and Scunny both have games in hand on us and there could potentially be just 3 points separating the top three - and we have games against both our rivals coming up. Remember, we have blown it from similar positions before, notably when we were 2nd with a healthy gap to third place in 2013, and when we had pulled well-clear of the relegation places in 2007.

Take nothing for granted - a couple of losses could see us down in 3rd place,

Sheff Utd 31 24 63
Scunthorpe 30 25 58
Bolton 29 18 54

 

[I should coco]

I agree things seem different this year, but please remember we were top in February 2013.
That season closed with that wonderful climactic defeat to those 'Monsters of Football ', the mighty Yeovil. That won't happen this year but equally no one has ever been promoted in February.

One game at a time gentlemen, please.

He sure knows how to find the back of the Odin bag. Or something.

 

[coaxingstar71]

I'll celebrate each victory as happily as the next fan, but I won't believe we'll be promoted until it's mathematically impossible for anyone to catch us. I would imagine the club players and management will feel the same.
