May be minimal but those 4 points are the difference between being above us and below.
It's sickening that the Blunts were struggling in League One three years ago only to swiftly progress & deploy the correct decisions when required.

How long have we been in this league whilst the likes of Bournemouth, Brighton, Watford, Burnley, etc show us how it's done ?

If we do then we dont deserve promotion, they are absolutely awful.

We cant pretend this hasnt been a colossal c**k up on our part ( unless we win the next 2 games about 8-0 each).

14 Championship seasons.

Top at Christmas have won the league 8 of those times.

They have been 2nd 4 times.

Only twice have top not been promoted and its been over 10 years.

Its the hope that kills you!!! Only we could throw away autos against the worst away side in the league :(

Yeah I'm not interested in shitty stats, we're just very unlucky.

Stop it Cjay just thinking about it all makes me angry :(

For a top three side to lose 9 of their games to teams 10th to 19th in the league, we don't deserve to go up

It's particularly galling in the case of the bacon wearing, rapist supporting, victim blaming, shoe waving, litigious, hypocritical cry babies that are Sheffield United.

It's not even as if they've been well run as a club, signed or produced any decent players, or have a decent fan base.

What is the point of them in the Premier League, seriously!

No excuse for our form this calendar year, just isnt good enough and you get what you deserve, cant be bitter about it, Norwich and Blades pushed on and we faded, nobody to blame but ourselves, we were 3 clear with 4 to play!!!!

We need to perform tomorrow, cant go into the playoffs with 3 defeats in 4 (provided we beat Ipswich).

I'll be there tomorrow but I suspect the atmosphere will be a low-key affair although I believe the players will receive a good send-off in the lap of honour from the ER faithful for the first time in a long while as some of the football has been the finest we've played since our premiership days

I agree. I hate and despise the club and all it stands for....always have done. Tin pot club. Awful fans. But they have outwitted us this season I'm afraid. Leeds United only has itself to blame :x

Phew, I thought maybe I'd overstepped the mark with my little rant! All my Sheffield friends are Wednesday, so I've probably picked up their bias.
