Feel a bit sorry for them to be honest. They have been a complete embarrassment, but I do admire that they haven't gone the Forest (or even Burnley) routes of spending a shed load of money to be pretty much in the same position.
Football feels like it's become more distorted even in the five years since we were last in the top flight, and personally I'd have preferred the 'big clubs' had all disappeared into the european glory hunters league, which could have allowed for a reform of the domestic league model creating a fairer system for all. It'll never happen as long as the rich boys club are present.
No team outside of that group of super rich teams will sustain a period amongst them. Leicester got themselves relegated, and whilst I hope Villa deny one of them a spot in the top 4, it won't last and they'll be back down amongst it.

34 and that was with a last day of the season victory at Old Trafford when the pressure was off and we were already relegated. Warnock finally let the shackles off that day, wehter he would have if there was something riding on it im not so sure.
We would have for sure!!!
Sala ruined him, he didn't know his arse from his elbow after that, that's part of the reason we would have stayed up, plus having the second-best goalscoring Sriker in France that season.
They were walking out after ten minutes, I bet they wish they hadn't gone up.
Not so sure about that - we picked up 15 points in final 15 games after Sala's death - that's not that much of a dramatic drop off in form compared to the first half and a bit.
100%, I'd personally never turn down an opportunity to see Cardiff in the top flight but it's very rarely worth the actual prize of being there.
He let them go out and enjoy the day. If we'd needed a result I have no faith we would have got one.
We managed 10 wins. 5 were by a single goal, 5 by 2 goals.
17 of our 24 defeats were by more than one goal. Of the 7 games we lost by 1 goal we led once in total.
After we won at Leicester, 4 of our last 5 wins were all 2-0. All of our defeats after that, bar perhaps the Chelsea game, were all pretty convincing as well. It wasn't as if we were narrowly losing matches. Sala wouldn't have kept us up.
In fact thats a better PPG return than the previous 23 games. But lets not let facts get in the way.
Why dont you deal in facts instead of making things up.
The match last night reinforced my belief that any talk of us getting into the playoffs and eventual promotion would be utterly ridiculous.
I think they went with Chris Wilder with next season already in mind. But the model now is to build slowly, play quick football and keep improving your playing staff as you go. The Warnock days of smash and grab are gone. You've got to be good and know your potential while you're on your way up. And then it's STILL hard to stay there and build for a few seasons.
Since the start of the year Sheffield United are the joint 4th top scorers
At Sheffield United's ground!!
I suppose it’s like when people say we would have went down if it wasn’t for Readings 10 points deduction. The games just would have been different.
Exactly….we were “safe” with 5 games to go last season.
It's catching in South Yorkshire! Rotherham 4 down approaching HT.
I think some have forgotten that, on March 18th, our game was postponed at Rotherham with us winning. Had we gone on to win, we'd have been 6 points clear of the bottom 3 and safe earlier in the campaign.
They have the same points as Burnley though but Kompany always gets a pass, yeah they have not been mullered as bad but Burnley spent £70 mill this season
Good point.
Burnley have spent nearly £160 million in the last two seasons, compared to just over 60 million from the Blades. You're right they have got a pass, probably because Kompany is Pep's mate and they try to 'play the right way'.
Remember all the interviews and press and podcasts etc all pre season saying how impressed they were with kompany and he was off to spurs/taking over from pep etc.....
Actually quite funny how awful they have been yet yep he totally gets a pass from everyone.
As someone else said we were awful both seasons in the Premier league but still did much better than Burnley or shef u have done.
Does anyone still want Craig Bellamy in as manager?
I would..
