Will we send Wednesday down?

You should try doing it in General Chat. It's like being chased out of town by Cenobites with purple hair, massive spectacles and nose rings.

Googles Cenobites

 

[54yrblade]

So a bit like your team right?

No

My other team is Bonnyrigg Rose in the Scottish lowland league
Currently top, on a great run and battling to get back in the SPFL2
Also in red and white
Proper football and a great club.

Interestingly enough, there are many English supporters who are sick of the PL and EFL who follow various Scottish clubs.

There's more to football than performative chest thumping, cult following and insulting those you don't agree with.

A few on here would do well to try it sometime.

I'm sure those Scottish players you talk about would swop there lot for the money they could earn in England.Footballers are just a mirror of modern society.
Probably not the tribalism in those areas of Scotland ( excusing Glasgow, Dundee & Edinburgh) two club cities have always had tribalism! Just today it spreads to violence, what these individuals get out of trying to beat up fellows from the same town or city is really baffling .Sheffield is typical of most places,a week on Sunday Blades and Owls fans will given the opportunity unless the police keep them apart fight each other with a number ending up in hospital or even worse can end up dead.
Just what drives this! Could be a workmate or even a relative.
Will this crazy violence ever end.
I can remember the time when fans integrated on the terraces ! Was an occasional bust up due to drink,not the pre planned violence given the opportunity today.
Just ruins the day especially if someone ends up dead.

There you go. Hopefully a place full of like-minded individuals who love their club, you can have a ‘proper’ chat with, and you feel a sense of community with (even if you disagree sometimes). I get that

I love the tribalism we have with our rivals, but it has nothing to do with ‘crazy violence’. This is also true of all the Unitedites and Wednesdayites I know (including family and friends on both sides). It deepens our love of football and ties us together as fans. It is horrible when the other side is on top or wins the latest match, and in this context Blades have lorded it since bouncing day. Hopefully our next meeting will be a historical one we can sing and banter about for a long time. We will still be friends (and family). It’s fun and part of being a fan.

There is of course a small minority whose fandom does include violence or faux violent posturing. Hopefully they stick to like-minded individuals who enjoy that kind of thing. They do not define football tribalism anymore, most of us just enjoy the craic.

 

[Champagneblade]

At the very least, if we avoid defeat at Fratton Park on Saturday and pigs inevitably lose v Millwall then they would be at the magical 40pts mark regardless of whether Leicester win their game or Blackburn win any of their 2 games.

So we’re going to be celebrating their relegation on the Sunday. Only open question is whether than is before kick off or after?

 

[Kevin Arnott]

I'd be celebrating if I were us. All day .

 

[FriethBlade]

We're on 39 points. Still just eight points off the playoffs. If we manage to win away at Portsmouth we then have the pigs. Six points from next two games would put us back on the fringes.

It's the ifs that kill you...we can still make the play offs....if we win at Charlton....if we win at Southampton....if we beat Boro and so it will go on until its mathematically impossible...when deep down we know its over.

The last 3 season the most losses by a team that made the play offs were 17, 15 and 15. We have already lost 16 and there's still 15 games left !!!

 

[brownblade]

Most importantly, IF we nail their final nail on the Sunday... What do we call it? Maybe it can replace the pretty ancient Boxing Day banter.

Super Sunday?
Relegation Sunday?
Sunday Comedown?
22nd Feb when the Wednesday Went?

I know Celtic and maybe others sing the song but maybe we could put our own lyrics to Beautiful Sunday by Daniel Boone.

[Berkshire Blade]

No. Chansiri and his associates sent them down before a ball was kicked this season.

Relegating a team of kids and desperate loan signings, which was absolutely inevitable, is a hollow victory, if that.

Our 11 is younger than theirs. You have brought into their propaganda

No. Their fans sent them down by turning on the man who has probably spent more on them than everyone else in history combined.

It doesn't matter what the make up of their team on the 22nd is. The cold hard facts are that if we beat them and they get relegated in February as a direct outcome of that, it's something that will almost certainly never happen again anywhere in English football. It's only a hollow victory if you support them, I'm afraid; for every Unitedite it's at the very least a normal victory.

So are these 'many' English supporters made of straw?
As a 62 year old Blade (but a real one), I only ask, as I have never met an English fan, who gives a toss about Scottish football.
Non league, German, or Dutch football, yes, but not Scottish

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Almost certainly. I doubt very much that anyone has ever finished 30+ points away from safety.

In a 46 match season with 3 points for a win, these are the five lowest points totals and when those hopeless teams were relegated.
Doncaster 20, Division Three, 1997/98: relegated on April 11 with 4 matches to play (only 1 team relegated; they finished 30 points behind 4th-bottom Swansea)
Cambridge 21, Division 3 (old), 1984/85: relegated on April 16 with 7 matches to play (4 teams relegated; they finished 25 points behind 4th-bottom Burnley)
Rotherham 23, Championship, 2016/17: relegated on April 1 with 7 matches to play (finished 28 points behind 4th-bottom FOReST)
Newport 25, Division 4 (old), 1987/88: relegated on April 23 with 4 matches to go (only 1 team relegated; they finished 23 points behind 4th-bottom Rochdale)
Stockport 25, League One, 2009/10: relegated on April 10 with 5 matches to go (4 teams relegated; they finished 25 points behind 4th bottom Gillingham)

The Premier League earliest relegation is Southampton last season at 7 matches remaining.

Let's hope that Wednesday can do what Cambridge did in the 80s and crash through the second and third tiers in consecutive seasons with then-record low totals (the Us finished bottom of the 22-team Division 2 in 83/84 with 24 points).

Yeah, tired of all this Wendy bleating now. They’re using their unfortunate predicament as a crutch….Boriiiing!
Any club could cobble together a team worthy getting a few result in this league…It’s not the fucking Prem is it.

Completely outclassed in one of the most mediocre Championships there's ever been. Even if they added the 18 points back on they would still be on course for the all-time worst points total.

 

[I should coco]

Their fans sent them down by turning on the man who has probably spent more on them than everyone else in history combined.

The reports of the property company, show he was owed nearly £50m from that. I'd conservatively guess, he is owed the same from the football club.

So a bloke who spanked £100m of his own money 'giving it a go', is detested by Wednesdayites, simply because he didn't have more money to chuck at it.

Pigenomics, innit.

Met lads from Leicester, West Ham, Ipswich, Newcastle to name a few, over the border.

It's far more common than many think

My Predictions re the relegation struggle before the 22nd

14th
Portsmouth v SU - SU win
QPR v Blackburn - QPR win
SW v Millwall - Millwall win

17th
Charlton v Portsmouth draw

20th
Blackburn v Preston - draw

21st
Stoke v Leicester - Stoke win
WBA v Coventry - draw
Boro v Oxford - Boro win
Millwall v Portsmouth- Millwall win

So table on 22nd would be

WBA 35
Portsmouth 34
Blackburn 33
Leicester 32
Oxford 28
Wednesday -7

Wednesday could then get to a max of 35 so theoretically could overtake all of them

It seems likely to be on.

That Leicester 32 could spoil it.

They can still get to 32 points after the derby so we really need Leicester to get a point at Stoke as They won't put the R next to their name just because they have a vastly inferior goal difference.

We need at least one team to be om 33 or 34 points before we kick off and only two to be on less.

 

[ancientblade]

lets just beat em convincingly thats all i want theyve been down since october no excuses for us not to put at least 4 in the back of their net

No, Leicester play Blackburn on the last day of the season. Mathematically impossible for BOTH to finish on 32 points.

So what?

Them finishing on 32points won't do them any good if 21 other clubs already have 33.

Remember they need to get above 3 other teams.

 

[Maidenhead]

I know but they won't take that into account when putting the R next to Wednesday

But if Leicester still only have 32 when we play Wednesday then they won't put the R next to their name and they'll be officially relegated the following week.
