ED Pubs and foreign football

[SeanMacGabhann]

Don't even know why I mention the spelling? I'm forever getting it wrong. And my typings is atrocious as well!

No need for playoff - I think on balance justice was done and head-to-head comparison seems fair (if Arsenal were close enough to do that we would have trounced everyone at the top)

[mockney piers]

Though you wouldn't have trounced West Ham now would you!!! (not that we were near the top...far from it indeed)

[SeanMacGabhann]

Now I KNOW that as you typed that MP you thought "should I gloat about this or is that risking the wrath of God's of demotion?"

[mockney piers]

Ha ha. Yes, today's the day isn't it.

I've a sneaking suspicion that having survived 4 flights in 2 weeks, I may have to pay for such good fortune with my team's premiership status. (I'm not only a terrible flyer I have a nibbly-pibbly theory of the universe which works a bit like karma but for luck)

[Keef]

There is absolutely no way they will be relegated! Even if the board find in favour of Shef U, the league can still refuse to change their minds.... I suspect the league would rather go to court with Shef U than West Ham, if only for the fact that West Ham are richer!

[Keef]

Oh, and I'd like to add that I hope Shef U rot in the Championship and never come up again. Miserable whinging gits! I've never known a team to clutch at straws so much, and Warnock cursed both Liverpool and Chelsea's cup finals (not that I care about the latter) because he was a sad bitter little man! (6)

[SeanMacGabhann]

say what you really mean Keef

;-)

[Keef]

Grrr... I think my post on another thread just now suggests that I'm not having the best day.

I shall try not to inlict my mood on my fellow forumites.... :-$

[mockney piers]

No worries Keef, sometimes there's too much vim and not enough spleen. I for one appreciated your comments. Plus I'm prone to extremely acerbic posts on days like today. I'm keeping a lid on it today because I just don't have the energy to be bitter. (actually strictly speaking that's sour, but you get what I'm saying)

Any news on the hearing yet?

[SeanMacGabhann]

The big fat dog has come to visit has he? I hate those days

Doesn't mean what you said was wrong tho, right?

[Keef]

Of course not! ;-)

With regards the hearing, I think it's scheduled for today and tomorrow, so there probably won't be any big news until tomorrow evening....

[Keef]

SEE HERE

Any Blades fan who seriously thinks they'll be reinstated is dreaming!!!!

That said, I could end up with egg on my face, but at least then we'll get to see them relegated again! ;-)

>>Oh, and I'd like to add that I hope Shef U rot in the Championship and never come up again.<<

Well If West Ham *do* get to avoid justice and remain in the Premiership next season I hope they finish rock bottom

Pleasantly surprised to see that Liverpool have supported us (i.e., Sheffiled United) at the Arbitration hearing, but I don't think many United fans expect to be reinstated. I am just glad they are putting up a fight. West Ham are clearly rattled by this possiblity though

[Keef]

Aha, I knew there was a Blades fan on the forum, and I couldn't remember who. :)

I did lose sympathy when Warnock basically said he hoped Liverpool would lose the champs league, I just thought that was a bit nasty.

[ratty]

I thought we all hoped liverpool would lose the champs league?

For the record I would love to see wet sham get relegated, or would I? No easy 6 points next season if they are not around.....

[SimonM]

>>I did lose sympathy when Warnock basically said he hoped Liverpool would lose the champs league, I just thought that >>was a bit nasty.:D< . It seems poetic justice to me that Liverpool, having disrespected the Premier league, should fail to win the Champions League.

>>No easy 6 points next season if they are not around.....<<

Wigan, Fulham, Derby, Birmingham, Bolton...:))
