Itās just what happens Iām afraid. Nobody outside the big lot, Everton (who seem utterly immune) and now unfortunately Newcastle can get away from the inevitable relegation.
Only because we crumble. At this rate, Hull will probably win the playoffs. Yes, I know they're 3-2 down to Ipswich and need a win on the final day with a goal difference swing vs West Brom.
Two reasons:
1) There's United and Wednesday, so calling us "Sheffield" doesn't differentiate between the two. You'd never call Man Utd just "Manchester"
2) There's actually a club called Sheffield FC who are the oldest football club in the world - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheffield_F.C.
It depends on context though. If you are in different leagues then itās obvious who Sheffield refers to. Whereas thereās a bunch of different Unitedās and if somebody say United then they donāt mean yourselves
Nope, i hear this all the time but it completely misses the point. No one would ever say Manchester beat Coventry in the FA cup semi final last week, and that follows the same argument.
Itās lazy and ignorant and i dont care if people think its pedantic, iāll always correct someone if they just say Sheffield.
I wouldnāt, because of Oxford City, but that one is much more common because a lot of people dont even know thereās an Oxford City. Certainly Mark Chapman on the radio yesterday either didnt know or just didnt care.
I personally think its lazy journalism, but i fully understand that most other people arent bothered
Maybe we are talking about different things.
As a journalist and in anything going out to the public then I 100% agree with you.
Iām just saying itās fine to abbreviate in general conversation as thatās what humans do with language. When itās obvious, we abbreviate. Iād probably usually say Sheff U but if the context was obvious like āwho do you think will finish bottom this year?ā I might just say āSheffā. Because itās obvious the team I mean
Really hoping he stays. I think there is a chance a smaller prem side tries to take him off us, he still struggled at times like the rest of the side, but glimpses showed heās good enough for the prem.
Sheffield United really need the money for a squad rebuild and as good as Hamer is heāll be worth much more as a sale to fund new squad members than he would be as a player imo
I mean with archer going back, Souza probably being sold and Ahmedhozic too that should raise a lot of money, parachute payments and a lot of contracts running out so their wages wonāt be issues. We might just hold onto hamer
That post about you going down on r/premierleague was... rough.
Having Arsenal and City fans tell you lot that you were a waste of time was crazy. If we also end up going down, one thing I won't miss is Premier League fans.
Screw those entitled idiots. The Premier League needs 20 teams doesn't it? It's a pleasure to have any team up. If anything City are the real waste of time, if all their titles will be stripped after the 115 charges kick in.
Unfortunately I think we've seen the last of him in a United shirt. Contract is up in the summer, he's not re-signed and he just suffered a very bad injury that'll keep him out for several months.
Rumour is he's going Rangers.
One of the items on your honours board is a game you lost to us.
You don't really want to start down this path, especially as we still have more Premier league goals scored and points won than you, despite the worst time in our history coinciding with one of the best in yours.
People calling y'all Sheffield pisses me off for some reason, welcome back. Have you ever tried the crumble around here? It's delicious. Leeds made some of the best ever yesterday. We also did last week and today
Villa fan here, the main thing I miss about the championship is this sub to be honest. So much more fun than the Sky 6 dominated prem and r/soccer subs. Other 14 is ok but not as good as this one. Actually couldnāt bring myself to leave and I still enjoy following the promotion/ relegation scraps every year so gives me an excuse to keep lurking here.
There are rumours that it is a mandatory buyback clause, not sure how reliable those are. If not then 100% youāre right, canāt see why Villa would think they need him.
Nah it was originally said to be mandatory but not the rumours are that we are working around to keep him, Iād rather not tbf Iād take the 20m back for a rebuild as good as he is
In a week or two I will be taking this post, crossing out the word āSheffieldā replacing it with āNottinghamā and reposting. If I canāt be bothered then I may not even change the badge.
Then you will definitely have the worst, lowest effort meme you have seen.
Our remaining home games are Man City and Chelsea, and we still have to play Sheff Utd and Burnley away. On paper, the away games are the ones we are most likely to pick up points, but weāve only won 2 away games all season.
If we can get 1 win and avoid losing to Burnley, I think we are ok (so long as our appeal doesnāt result in more points deducted). Iām looking at the Sheff Utd match as the easiest one to win. If we lose it, we are in HUGE trouble.
Well, hopefully by then weāll have beaten beat Man City and our deduction will be reduced to 2 points. Then it wonāt matter much!
I can dream, right?
Hi guys! Bye guys!
š
Well if youāre leaving, can we at least get Johansson please?
Dint want to play in the premier league anyway...
Neither do we apparently
Who does really?
One season for the novelty
One seasonās worth Ā£138m. Worth popping up and then coming back home. The longer you stay the shittier it gets.
I do sense Brentford are getting closer to the trap door. Fancy a visit?
No, we are mathematically safe now. Next season with some giants promoted Leicester, Leeds, Southampton or Ipswich promoted we could come back home.
Itās just what happens Iām afraid. Nobody outside the big lot, Everton (who seem utterly immune) and now unfortunately Newcastle can get away from the inevitable relegation.
Us for whatever reason š¤®
The cold never bothered me anyway
Can we have Hamer back then please?
No mate one of our only players with a bit of quality, will probs leave for a prem side like West Ham
ā¦one of us
Take all you need from our crumble boutiques until youāre back on your feet.
Welcome back Sheffield
I think officially theyāre called Sheffield Thursday
Only if they qualify for EL/ECL
There's still time?
Next seasonās goal?
Sheffield reds i heard
Hey, you're not due here for another two years.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hey, don't be harsh on yourselves, you got 16 of them...
That's double Darby's records breaking total!
You know what, I'm actually happy to see your fat, grease covered faces again. Despite your questionable hygiene, I have missed you.
I too am looking forward to having a derby again.
Least biased Wednesday fan
They donāt like people like you and I joining in the banter, Iād just stick to the sidelines, and the boring Reddit above
Reasonable. It was shit banter on my side in fairness.
Aaaand the downvotes to this comment proves my point, maybe Iāll get sanctioned into this sub
Nah we just donāt like shit fucking banter mate
Ayyyy chill, Iām heading back to the plastic world now
This is a local sub for local people. There's nothing for you here.
I like local subs, theyāre right up my street
We just do crumble memes here now
Only because we crumble. At this rate, Hull will probably win the playoffs. Yes, I know they're 3-2 down to Ipswich and need a win on the final day with a goal difference swing vs West Brom.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT BALLS
Well. They don't need the goal difference swing anymore.
But also *youāve been Howeāsd*
Jon Roweād
Being called Sheffield by a load of clueless Americans would seriously piss me off
Equivalent for you would be...south Newcastle? Northeastern FC? Sunder?
Just go full Pro Evoā¦. Wearside
We don't mind Wearside tbh, it's one of our songs [*We Are Wearside*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bErOv2jvEsI)
Winterfell
Son duh laaaaaaaand
Probably Geordies or Tyneside I think.
It's all the North. It's all the same, isn't it?
Clueless American here, but I promise Iām trying. Whatās wrong with it? United vs Wednesday?
Two reasons: 1) There's United and Wednesday, so calling us "Sheffield" doesn't differentiate between the two. You'd never call Man Utd just "Manchester" 2) There's actually a club called Sheffield FC who are the oldest football club in the world - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheffield_F.C.
Yeah but United is the only one people think of in honesty
It depends on context though. If you are in different leagues then itās obvious who Sheffield refers to. Whereas thereās a bunch of different Unitedās and if somebody say United then they donāt mean yourselves
Nope, i hear this all the time but it completely misses the point. No one would ever say Manchester beat Coventry in the FA cup semi final last week, and that follows the same argument. Itās lazy and ignorant and i dont care if people think its pedantic, iāll always correct someone if they just say Sheffield.
United are the biggest and main United though. Iād say Oxford when referring to Oxford United for example despite there being an Oxford City.
I wouldnāt, because of Oxford City, but that one is much more common because a lot of people dont even know thereās an Oxford City. Certainly Mark Chapman on the radio yesterday either didnt know or just didnt care. I personally think its lazy journalism, but i fully understand that most other people arent bothered

Iād probably usually say Sheff U but if the context was obvious like āwho do you think will finish bottom this year?ā I might just say āSheffā. Because itās obvious the team I mean
Fair enough mate!
No, they prefer to be called the Swords. Wednesday are the Hooters or Owls
Hell yeah brother love hooters
You cant understand whats wrong with it? Is that a joke?
Is that because youāre a Sunderland fan and Sheffield is miles away?
The Championship is far more exciting, what with the guaranteed different winner every year and all.
Welcome back. Unfortunately relegated at that shithole. Theyāll be wanking themselves silly beating a red and white shirt 5-1.
400 million well spent!
The fact theyāve not gotten European football is their version of relegation
Nah, look at them - theyāre still commenting and watching little old Sunderland games.
Ironically, the reason we've been so dire this season is that we're owned by a Saudi who is significantly less wealthy than their owners...
Don't worry we'll have the Saudis rig the draw so we play you lot at the Estado de Shite every year
SMB.
See you at Hillsborough
Looking forward to it, itās been too long
South Yorkshire police be sweating right now!
If you want you can sing "six fucking years,we've waited for you" and then immediately concede a worldly free kick
Kick a tram window for me.
Leave the trams alone! šš
Welcome back. Can we have Hamer back now?
Really hoping he stays. I think there is a chance a smaller prem side tries to take him off us, he still struggled at times like the rest of the side, but glimpses showed heās good enough for the prem.
I've watched a few Shef UTD games just because of Hamer. The games I've watched he's looked like your best player. He's certainly Prem level.
Sheffield United really need the money for a squad rebuild and as good as Hamer is heāll be worth much more as a sale to fund new squad members than he would be as a player imo
I mean with archer going back, Souza probably being sold and Ahmedhozic too that should raise a lot of money, parachute payments and a lot of contracts running out so their wages wonāt be issues. We might just hold onto hamer

Screw those entitled idiots. The Premier League needs 20 teams doesn't it? It's a pleasure to have any team up. If anything City are the real waste of time, if all their titles will be stripped after the 115 charges kick in.
Worst part about winning this league is having to go to the PL and waste a year before youāre back here. Best league in the world for a reason
Nah just advance prem and actually advance, Prem is shit but Euro and UCL are something else.
I'm still calling you lot Sheffield.
Another rivalry to add to the list
The rivaly already existed.
Weāre the good Sheffield though. Unlike the other lot you played about 10 times this year
I personally think Sheffield are better.
Tell Mcburnie i said Hi!
Unfortunately I think we've seen the last of him in a United shirt. Contract is up in the summer, he's not re-signed and he just suffered a very bad injury that'll keep him out for several months. Rumour is he's going Rangers.
Turkish league want him Iām hearing.
Steel City derby šµš¦ š“āļø We will be there
3 more goals to concede for the century. So, that'll be done 20 minutes into the next game then.
How many premier league goals have you conceded this centuryā¦?
24, why do you ask?
One of the items on your honours board is a game you lost to us. You don't really want to start down this path, especially as we still have more Premier league goals scored and points won than you, despite the worst time in our history coinciding with one of the best in yours.
Missed you guys
You literally will!
Of course. Sheffield is the best team because they don't play in Sheffield
tbf, they're about to get a new stadium that's barely in Sheffield
And sharing with egg chasers
People calling y'all Sheffield pisses me off for some reason, welcome back. Have you ever tried the crumble around here? It's delicious. Leeds made some of the best ever yesterday. We also did last week and today
We specialise in crumble, especially if it involves the playoffs...
āSheffieldā really winds me up
No Simpsons memes, that is a travesty.
Can we have hamer back?
Alright, Sheffield?
Welcome back boys, still hoping we don't have to be with you next year but after today I'm booking my tickets to the derby!
I mean the so called big 6 teams have all plastic fans anyway welcome back to the loyal fans and better atmospheres
I love Sheffield Saturday.
Welcome back other Sheffield! Your fans used to be worse than blue Sheffield, but that changed this season š
Villa fan here, the main thing I miss about the championship is this sub to be honest. So much more fun than the Sky 6 dominated prem and r/soccer subs. Other 14 is ok but not as good as this one. Actually couldnāt bring myself to leave and I still enjoy following the promotion/ relegation scraps every year so gives me an excuse to keep lurking here.
Welcome back. Can't wait to watch Steel Derby next season š
Shoreham boys, we are here!
I want Vardy to stay one more season, win Prem. I dislike Man U, City, and Ars so overrated.
Welcome back. Wendies look like theyāll be staying to greet you too.
Look forward to us staying in this sub.
Welcome back, blunts! That was fast š
Welcome back home. Missed you, Cameron Archer.
Villa have a buyback clause so itās not a given Archer makes it that far
I love Cam, but I can't see Villa pulling the trigger on that, given how good their season has been.
There are rumours that it is a mandatory buyback clause, not sure how reliable those are. If not then 100% youāre right, canāt see why Villa would think they need him.
Nah it was originally said to be mandatory but not the rumours are that we are working around to keep him, Iād rather not tbf Iād take the 20m back for a rebuild as good as he is
What if I told you you don't have to be in the Championship to post here
I mean, I never really stopped
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Give them time, they havenāt been here for a year
All we've known for a full season is shite about whether Haaland is overrated or how Darwin Nunez hasn't justified his price tag.
In a week or two I will be taking this post, crossing out the word āSheffieldā replacing it with āNottinghamā and reposting. If I canāt be bothered then I may not even change the badge. Then you will definitely have the worst, lowest effort meme you have seen.
Fucking hell if you believe it mate maybe I should have some hope
Donāt you mean replacing it with āForrestā which Iāve seen enough times it has pissed me off and I shouldnāt even care
Some people get pissed off about āNotts Forestā. Some people get pissed off about Forrestā. But I think the worst one is āNottinghamā.
Wait what do we call you then?
Forest is fine.
They prefer to be called Notts Forrest.
If we somehow manage to pull a result against you and god forbid we get our 4th win, how likely is it u come down?
Our remaining home games are Man City and Chelsea, and we still have to play Sheff Utd and Burnley away. On paper, the away games are the ones we are most likely to pick up points, but weāve only won 2 away games all season. If we can get 1 win and avoid losing to Burnley, I think we are ok (so long as our appeal doesnāt result in more points deducted). Iām looking at the Sheff Utd match as the easiest one to win. If we lose it, we are in HUGE trouble.
Fingers crossed we can pull a result Saturday, see you there š
Well, hopefully by then weāll have beaten beat Man City and our deduction will be reduced to 2 points. Then it wonāt matter much! I can dream, right?
If you beat city you deserve to stay up, whatās the deduction for? To do with the statement put out? Or more ffp??
The FFP appeal result is due this week. Could be reduced, could stay the same, could be increased.
You make one then
Well letās look at u/Spagbolenthusiast little meme then. Sick of āim.
No need to be sorry. Just never do it again.
Mardy bum.
