    Oh dear blades

    Looks like they could have blown auto promotion..
    Still have Burnley to play though it's now gone from a don't loose game to a must win game. .

    I took her indoors grandson who now lives in Penzance to Argyle today - we?ve been a few times and hes a Notts County Fan really.

    Blades looked sharp but poor finishers - Argyle were poor first half but the last 10 mins was entertaining - the Argyle fans have to be one of the loudest around - only me bein quiet an thinkin of next year in the away end with Hamshaws promotion winning side 🤔🤔🤔

    Never a prem side Sheff U

    I watched the game on Sky and thought the Blades had lost their sharpness and weren't pressing as convincingly as they normally do so it wasn't entirely surprising when Plymouth hit them with a couple of sucker punches.
    It's a bad time to get the collywobbles but to be honest I think all 3 promoted teams, whoever they are, will struggle in the Premier League.

    Mellow my friend, sorry but I have to differ. Leeds will more than hold their own, assuming they go up, and with the Billionaire 49ers owners now in charge at Leeds, they will not be looking to relinquish a 170 -190 Million pay day each season from the FA each year. They will spend as much as they can, ffp wise, in order to stay up in the Prem.

    We'll see Brin but, if Leeds do go up they're going to need a lot of new (and better) players because most of their current squad are way short of PL quality.
    As someone recently said, the PL now comprises 17 residents and 3 guests. It's getting increasingly difficult to change that.

    49ers will be tested but a 55000 stadium is a good start in terms on intent.
    I think they?re serious but I am worried what that means for fans. I?m corporate and we pay ?7000 for two tickets. These may well be ?10,000 each after the rejig which will probably price us out.

    That?s the price of Premier league footy at the top end and by the way, we have to attend 70% of home games or season card not renewed.

    Times have changed Mellow, maybe not at Rotherham but elsewhere certainly.
