    No idea Al, why is it being played before the end of the season?

    World Club Championship, same reason why the transfer window opens for several days from 1st June

    The Play-off curse strikes again,I was hoping we'd be shot of the Blades!

    I’d love to climb inside Jacky Clarke’s head for a minute right about now. Not the greatest career move he’s ever made.

    He's stolen a living off us for a year,I don't think there's too many here who'd be sorry if you wanted him back!

    He’s out of the 14 day money back guarantee.

    Your problem now, I’m afraid.

    How do you guys feel about Sheffield losing out, would you prefer them as competition or would you have preferred Sunderland

    Not sure, at least only one relegated side went straight back up.



    I hate the play offs. Blades 14 points clear of Sunderland at the end of the season.

    Yeah but that’s because they went at it full throttle right up to the last game of the season. We knew our fate with 7 games to go so mainly played the kids and reserve players continually rotating, we lost the last 5 games. Paid off for us.

    It wouldn’t have been anywhere near 14 points otherwise.

    Have to slightly disagree, they had a two point deduction, they knew their fate with two games to go, I can’t believe Sunderland rested players 7 games out, you need some momentum.

    No doubt there would have been a bit of rotation and they probably felt they were the better team yesterday. Without the points deduction and all things considered I’d say there would have been at least a 12 point gap to third

    Same to you, Evesham. Ipswich never done me any harm. All the best to you, hope it’s a quick return.

    And I’m glad you beat them, I’m saying you definitely never rested yesterdays starting 11 from 7 games out to go, they would have needed to keep the rust out

    Look at our fixtures and you’ll see we were constantly resting and rotating players. The results didn’t matter, one bit. We lost the last 5 games.

    Our manager nailed it.

    Forest owner’s attitude looks to be the reason that they have blown it.
