Scumberland or Shitefield ? (26 Viewers)

Dunno why but I feel really down at Sunderland going up

I cant stand them, and don't care much fir Blades either. I just felt after the final whistle at the SOL last week, that it didnt matter, that Sheffield United would bulldoze whichever one of us it was


Feels like another huge missed opportunity

Today is exactly why we have to keep going and trying! Sunderland Absolutly shat way up! All these people saying they didn’t want to get in PO or at Wembley because we will get beat…..nonsense.

agree, feel angry, frustrated now as really dislike them and supporters. Also makes it harder next season for us as SU will be strong.

however, really do feel we are stronger as club and in best place we ever will be - funny feeling for next season - our time will come.

If it’s a massive problem we should just not bother. The system isn’t gonna change.

Nobody is saying that, just that it makes the job harder. Barring any calamities (or sizeable points deductions), you can already pretty much guarantee 4 of the Top 6 next season.

Outside of the parachute teams, we are one of the best equipped, but there will likely be one less place to play for. King said this himself in an interview the other week.

that's it for me. when we lost the semi you could take a bit of relief from the expectation that SU would win easily against us or them.

now it feels like a huge missed opportunity. the hope now is we keep everyone we want to keep and build on this season. get off to a strong start for a change and have a season long push for promotion rather than try and sneak in at the end.

 

[Skybluekyle]

Imagine how fans like Bristol, Preston, Millwall feel.
They’d kill for what we’ve been through the last 7 years.

This is along the lines of what I was going to say.

We lost to Luton on a penalty shootout lottery, Man Utd a marginal VAR decision, even against Sunderland the winner hit the bar on another day could have gone the other way.

The tiniest of margins on the big stage, and it's quite cruel. However, in order for us to get to these moments; we made a blitzing late charge to the playoffs, came back from 3-0 down and, again, to even get to Sunderland we got several last minute winners this season.

We have had one heck of a roller-coaster in recent years, and that is why we're even thinking about days like Sunderland have had today. I am almost certain, our time will come.

Next year will it be harder than this to get up. You've got
Southampton
Ipswich
Leicester
Sheff Utd
Birmingham (hope not)
Coventry
Bristol City
Wrexham (hope not)
Really need to hold on to our best players to compete with these

We said that last year and finished higher

I get it, and the missed opportunities of this year and Luton, it does seem that the same old teams get all the ‘glory’ moments of promotion etc.

but there’s no guarantee that today would have gone our way, despite me thinking for the past couple of days that Sunderland could do it, just a feeling.

just hope next year they don’t ’do a Leeds’ and smash it along with the likes of Leicester etc

I hope they struggle to come to terms with it and the likes of Hamer move on.

Our day will come - what will be will be….

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Can we compete with any of them financially and wages wise. Why would players come to us over any of them? What are we selling to them?

Bristol City? Really?

Vik, Gus, Haji, MVE, Rudoni, Grimes, Dovin, Sakamoto must think different then. New left back in coming too

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I saw a graph somewhere (may have Been on here) that shows them financially in a very strong position and moving in an upward direction. I think they can outspend us

I really hope this is a wind up account because if it’s not it’s the most defeatist soy account on here and that’s saying something

Just think about Chris Wilder. It's cheering.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

When we got those players who else was in for them? Haji i think had Hull interested. Gus Vik were unknowns really, Rudoni I don't think we beat anyone of the top clubs for, dovin the same and Grimes I don't think was looked at by any of the top 8 in this league?

What I'm saying is we must be doing something right to get these players in

Christ u r easily upset aren't u.

If they hadn’t have gone up Sunderland would have flogged Bellingham and had £20m to go again. It’s not that big a deal they won today

 

[PVA]

Sunderland must have been ahead for a grand total of about 7 minutes over the three games. Jammy fuckers.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

20 million is less than 200 million isn't it. That's what they have now and even if they come down will have finances that blow us out the water.
Look if we keep Lampard and most of this squad and add to it then I'll be alot more cheerful. This is a good squad. Lampard is a good manager. I know rumours can often be bull shit. BUT I just have a gut feeling Lampard won't stay, and it was something in his interview after we lost that gave me that feeling tbh.

Could go get Robins back

The most important 7 minutes though.
Same as we were only in the top 6 for the blink of an eye in 2023 but it was when it counted.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

He wouldn't come back under King (I know you are being facetious but still I thought I would respond). Also I think he had had enough anyway. That incident at Preston when he rubbed his eyes at the fans and his general demeanour this season and end of last season in hindsight says to me he wanted a new challenge. Just have to hope Lampard stays basically.

If he doesn’t I fear for us.

 

[Adge]

Fair play to Sunderland-they took their chance when it came along. During the Semifinals and Final they took their chances when they came at the right moments. Sheff Utd will be kicking themselves and it all turned on the Patterson save just before Hamer went off to stop it being 2-0 and basically game over. Will they survive-it’s unlikely.
As for us-we go again and it will be our turn soon. I can see 4 teams that will be stronger than us possibly in the Championship and the usual 7-8 suspects including us in a race for the playoffs. Keep knocking on the door and we will get through.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Well that's why I'm so fed up. It's what I'm worrying about. Lampard is key. His reputation gives us a huge benefit recruitment wise.

What do you think of his managerial prowess

 

[AOM]

Nine attempts at the Play Offs without success for Sheffield United is pretty mad

 

[bigfatronssba]

If he doesn’t I fear for us.

You and robins forever are basically the same person aren’t you?

 

[DT-R]

Sunderland’s squad was worth £140m according to this. They were close to a parachute club already.

When I quoted this on here a few weeks ago it was rubbished by a Sunderland fan. His words were "we've spent nowhere near the amount of 'money bags' coventry this season". So either he's wrong and chatting shit, or this chart is wrong. I would say the former was wrong.

SU forum is a good laugh. Everything from sacking Wilder to surely Gus won’t leave as he loves it round here…

But this one is fantastic..

Sell Vini and sign Coventry's Rudoni, sell Hamer and sign Norwich's Sainz, sell Anel and sign Coventry's Bobby Thomas.

 

[Liquid Gold]

This season was our big chance.

Luton was our big chance to blag it. Now we’re on a path to do it.

I mean TM is bollocks but should be the same amount of bollocks for everyone really.

I think we seemed to have a plan now, and have good infrastructure in place to do it.

compared to our two hahaha

3, it includes all leagues and semis as well as finals.
They were also in a relegation play off and lost that so its actually 10 attempts, no success!

 

[rockwoodfleet]

Exactly how I feel. To the letter. This is a killer blow for me and I really now have concerns what the future holds. We are not wealthy. I was taking the piss out of Sunderland saying they will do a Barnsley....now I'm worried that could be us. Lose Rudoni Wright Sheaf Simms MVE (the last 4 of whom were poor when it mattered most but still are solid at this level) and replace them with less able players because we cannot pay the wages the better players at this level want any I can see us easily doing a Barnsley and Huddersfield. The Lampard lovers on here think he will stay here, I'm less confident and can see him going of he gets an inkling King won't back him getting the quality he wants, which let's face it means spending money beyond just reinvesting what we get from sales.
I am really gutted. Sunderland fans will be gloating as well. Could give a fuck about Sheff Utd never have. Only positive for me today was that Hamer and Ohare went when they did. Ohare isn't good enough and Hamer cannot stay fit at Wembley which isn't all down to bad luck i do not think so I happybwe got 15 million for him when we did.

Fucking clown. Some shit you come out with you wum.
