Have let in five in each of their last three home games and they’re 3-0 down to Arsenal with less than fifteen minutes played :facepalm:
They’ve just made a tactical substitution :facepalm:

No one is in a position to pick and choose, if the opportunity is there you have to take it. The issue with this is the ridiculous imbalance of 2 teams in the same league, supposedly the best league in the world.
Any side with an odious scumbag such as mcburnie deserves to get smashed every week and not a big fan of wilder either
Make that 5-0. Two teams who are miles apart. Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal are virtually untouchable to the rest of the premier league, and will be for some time. Their managers have been given time (and money) to create empires.
It’s game over for the rest of the teams.
Still beat Derby's points record
The gap is growing all the time, but in this particular case really is a blatant attempt to pocket the money from their owners, you'd be absolutely fuming as a fan. At least we gave Warnock and Malky some money to spend and we were competitive in most games.
Their best player is a very good Championship player, but a Championship player none the less in Hamer. They went with Chris Wilder as an attempt to stay up despite the fact he left them marooned at the bottom of the table the first time around. You look at that squad and you genuinely wonder if they'd even be top half in the Championship next year. Shocking.
We might not have stayed up either time, but at least we were never spanked like that when we were in the premier league.
So bad they've resorted to karaoke for the second half.
McBurnie substituted
Apparently he told his team mates they were still in it as he can’t count past 4
Just 81% possession and 20 shots for Arsenal so far.
Interesting that Arsenal’s goal difference is better than both Liverpool’s & Man City’s. Could be crucial.
Last season's championship was very poor, we would have struggled to be mid-table in L1, luckily there were even worse-run clubs than us.
+6 better than Liverpool but Liverpool still have Sheffield United to play at Anfield so could easily wipe out that +6 in one game the way Sheffield United are playing.
They would have been better off asking the Premier League and EFL last May to let them stay in the championship for the 23/24 season. Give them some sort of monetary award for winning promotion and in lieu of future parachuite payments because they have been an embarrasment to themselves and the league.
Minus 50 goal difference after 27 games. Whats the point. Im shocked they have managed to get 13 points.
If I remember correctly, our worst defeat first time round was 4-0 to Sunderland of all teams.
As for last time, losing 5-0 to Man City was our worst result, then 5-1 to Utd and a couple of 4-1 defeats.
Sheffield Utd are on another level entirely. Losing 8-0, 6-0 and 5-0 on 4 separate occasions with nearly 1/3rd of the season left to go.
The three teams that came down in the Championship are still much better than the three teams that went up.
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.
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.
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!!
