Think I'd actually play Pears in this one. Wahlstedt should be starting the next league came, confine Pears to the cups games from now on.

Sheff Utd are skint, like the rest of us. Probably trying to grab as much cash as possible from this season in PL and take relegation and the parachute payments that come with it. Do you know what Chaddy, if we were taken over by the Saudi state, spent hundreds of millions and just brushed aside a newly promoted, winless team 8-0, I actually think I'd view it as a bit of a hollow victory. Effectively beating a championship side that are only there to make up the numbers and pocket as much cash as possible, with consummate ease isn't something that I'd view as worth celebrating with much vigor tbh. Like watching City routinely dispatch mid-lower premier league teams with ease, it's not really exciting, it's fairly bland and souless. I don't really care who Newcastle or Chelsea have bought tbh, neither should have been allowed to spend that much. How can you be comfortable with those 2 spending insane amounts of money without batting an eyelid and just 1 league below, you have us, who struggled to sign what will arguably be our No.1 keeper for just £700k? Beyond mental. The European super League is the only way to restore parity, remove the super rich clubs, have a more even distribution of the money, make things more competitive, even up the playing field more. I was against it when it was first mentioned but now, I'd happily see the back of these "big clubs", the ones that basically make the rules in English football, in order to improve the English game outside of the premier League. Brentford and Brighton's success won't last forever, it relies on a number of pieces falling into place every time. Sooner or later, they will make a wrong call and they'll find themselves in trouble, just like we did as well as countless others in seasons gone by. If you don't understand why there should be a greater distribution of wealth then you are, quite frankly, part of the problem.

Survival is the right word and it won't last forever. They'll both struggle again in a few a seasons.

Yeah they are what they are, a championship club (albeit a top end one) but at 6-0 up, Newcastle sub on £120m worth of players (just 2 fucking players at that) Time for the European super League, this is just a pointless hollow victory.

What's the point in the prem now? Sheff Utd, Dingles and Luton get promoted from the Championship but then have to come up against a clubs like Oilcastle that can just pump extraordinary amounts of money into their club at will. What chance does anyone have these days?

Games only 8mins old but Sheffield Utd look like an absolutely woeful team.

Hedges potentially missing for a while. He’s injured and he will be out for a while,” Tomasson told RoversTV after the game at Portman Road. “I don’t know how long at the moment, but it didn’t look great to be honest. “We’ll need to wait and see on the medical report and he will probably get a scan on Monday, but he could be out for a bit of time.”

Top 6 is some way off if we can't stop conceding for fun.

Yeah, I'd definitely like to see us move to a 3 man midfield.

Just watched the low lights, not sure wtf Pears was doing for some of those goals, he literally punches one straight to their lad. On the plus side, Leonard gets another, despite having a defenders arms wrapped around him and Szmodics finish was superb. Still, no points though.

He also needs to strike a balance on the suicidal attacking football and the couldn't score in a brothel stuff from last season. We'll get relegated shipping 3/4 goals each week.

Only going to go 1 way now, it'll end 5-3.

4-3. FFS!

Needs goals. Brings on Dolan. 🤦‍♂️

Could be 5 goals by the end of today!

We've conceded 3 goals in 25mins, JDT needs to get a grip pretty quickly, we are conceding far too many goals.

How many people raised concerns that he wasn't a No.1? (lots)

Not seen the goal but a few on twitter saying it was poor goalkeeping.

We held for just 4 minutes. Gonna be a long day.

A perfect description for us.

Sigurdsson starting! Unexpected but most welcome.

Difficult to look past a loss being away from home and currently in a bad habit of conceding goals. Feels like another situation similar to Plymouth/Sunderland where we go for it, don't convert any chances and then concede. Hirst will probably have a worldie as well.

Yup, 2-0 loss for the U21's, when we needed Sigurdsson to bag a hat trick.

Boro won't, they'll sack Carrick soon enough and they will stay up.
