I have the following table sorted....

 

 

1. Reading GD +40 pts 85

2. Wolves GD +26 pts 85

3 Sheff Utd Pts 84

4. Brum pts 81

5. Cardiff pts 76

6. Burnley pts 72

7. Swansea GD +13 pts68

8. Preston GD +2 pts 68

9. Bristol pts 67

10. QPR pts 64

11. Ipswich pts 63

12. Coventry GD -3 pts 61

13. Doncaster GD -10 pts 61

14. Derby pts 58

15 Owls pts 57

16. Palace pts 56

17. Watford GD -7 pts 53

18. Norwich GD -8 pts 53

19. Forest pts 52

20. Plymouth GD -14 pts 51

21. Barnsley GD -18 pts 51

22. Blackpool pts 47

23. Southampton pts 43

24. Charlton pts 34

 

Sadly it sees Wolves going up, which I don't think they deserve as they're not that good. But it rightly gives Reading the title.

 

Sadly also Barnsley don't go down, and Burnley get in play offs even though I don't rate them.

 

The Blades miss out on auto by one point as I have their GD as +30 for season end.....

i still say Wolvws and Reding go up in automatic place

Blades, Birmingham ,Burnley and Cardiff in the play offs

 

religation - Charlton,Southampton and Forest

[Stockers 10]

Wolves look like they're up, Brum are in a dodgy patch, as are Reading.

 

We'll see, i dont see the Blades getting an automatic spot though, i think it'll be Wolves and Brum and we'll lose out in the first round of the Play Offs to Cardiff.

Reading are tripe of late, they'll not go up.

 

We do tend to choke in the play offs, you never know though 3rd time lucky!!

i think the play offs are a lottery -i think league form goes out of the window and the blades ahve as much chance as anyone

I got Wolves on 91 points, with Reading (84) just pipping blades (82).

Birmingham, Cardiff and Swansea in playoffs

 

Wednesday 15th - only 1 more win this season, against Southampton.

 

Charlton bottom obviously, with Plymouth second bottom and Southampton somehow just staying up relegating Blackpool on goal difference.

True - it's not very often that the team finishing in third actually win the playoffs. Look at Wednesday in 2005, only won 1 of the last 9 league games finishing 5th, and then won all three play-off games.

with southamptons parent company calling in the recievers today (talksport news this morning) i think they are in serious trouble

[sam69 10]

cant count automatic out just yet. we have to play reading. and birmingham have to play wolves and reading.

 

if it is the play offs then so be it. 3/1 shot lottery.

 

i've seen nothing to be scared off. and we are going in to the end of season in good form.

 

got the hotel booked at docklands for the palace weekend today.

 

cooooom on you red and white wizaaaaards.

I've seen the blades in the following BIG matches and been let down time and time again;

 

Man U ('90) - FA Cup quarter final

Wednesday ('93) - FA Cup Semi

Palace ('97) - Play Off Final

Newcastle ('98) - FA Cup Semi

Sunderland ('98) - Play off first leg

Arsenal ('03) - FA Cup Semi

Livepool ('03) - League Cup Semi

Wolves ('03) - Play Off Final

 

Chuck into that Chelsea away (relegation in the last minute '95) and Wigan at home 2006 (relegated at home on the last day of the season) and you've got plenty of depressing times supporting the Blades.

 

Don't get me wrong getting to all of the above Semi Finals, P/O finals etc has been a great experience as have 2 promotions to the top flight but i would like to see us win on the big occasion just once
