I"m confident Blades WILL get promoted, sadly I think they will then do a Huddersfield, but hey ho a season in the Prem will do for me..

Stick a tenner on Blades to get relegated, and Owls to replace em. Best way to be fair. I wouldn't be too keen on us fighting relegation every season in the prem, I'd take being a yo yo team over just making the numbers up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Thanks Padders for the encouragement mate but after watching them for over 50 years realism is a gift not a negative when supporting the Blades .It gives you the strength to brush off disappointment like brushing off dandruff of your shoulders.😂.If we had a multi national organisation with bottomless funds then yes I could see us being a powerful force in the prem but we do not have that .Just being in there and fighting to survive every year is not an attractive prospect .The prem is getting as predictable as Scottish football well perhaps not that bad but you know who out of six clubs are going to win everything.I would find it boring playing every week knowing you are playing for nothing apart from making up the numbers.Can not see the point in it really.Much rather have a season like we have where every match is vital in trying to get to the prem .It is after we get there that the boredom might set in.

Agree with all that. It would take a chairman like city or Chelsea have to even come close to touching the top 6 and now with the FFP coming in it's not like club's can spend like they did before to make it.
