The Footie Thread

That’s a brilliant turn around - Sheff Utd just sat back too much


Shame the young lad who scored the winner is leaving

Wonder what Bellingham will do now

 

[Don Barzini]

Sunderland are Premier League!

Now…..do we have any Sunderland fans on the board, to join the fray next season?!

What’s this ?

Are you are on about fans just moaning about refs decisions as opposed to a club publicly accusing officials

As for during the Ferguson years it was very much a collective that believed Man Utd at times got “favourable” decisions - Webb being their 12th man

Fans will moan about refs decisions until the end of days

It was mainly fans but I remember a few players posted stuff online too. I think Ryan Babel posted a picture of Howard Webb in a Man Utd shirt

So, not a fan then?

 

[Arthur Wedge]

So that’s Sheff Utd added to the list as well

Guys, let the Forest stuff stop now

Such a killjoy.
I've found it cute to see Swango and Arthur getting it together to troll the Forest supporters for a couple of hours. It's broken the monotony of reading them spending another Saturday trolling each other.

If the league tables don’t lie why have playoffs?

Is it just money.

Yes

Next question

It does maintain interest in the season for more teams as well but it isn't right really.

to be fair Sheffield United, Derby and Manchester United are the only hate watch teams. Extremely indifferent to every other team in the 92

Blimey that’s going back a bit

And yep money is a big reason

It’s the same with the European Cup becoming the Champions League

Etc etc

Good fun to be fair. Came 3rd twice and 6th once then got up via the play offs twice

They do add to the season

Should have them for relegation

Spurs to play united... Off united pop

Wow, where has all this bitterness come from?

I think it strikes a decent balance tbf.
The prem has the European places to play for all season, which keeps plenty of teams honest.
It's not like all the promotion places are up for grabs, 2/3 are still based in the entire league season. Of all the things wrong with modern football, this is last on my list!

Growing up with smug glory supporting United fans at school (I’m from nowhere near Manchester) during the prime Fergie years tends to wear you down and hate United. It’s not a new thing

The championship playoffs, in particular, always produce unrivalled drama. Great to watch as a neutral and the most stressful 2 weeks as a fan.

Don’t mind the playoffs - it does add a little bit of excitement at the end

Most of the time the team coming 3rd does get through - unless your Sheff United
