Nor can I really, I'm doubting that bit myself tbh - but then two legged final and replay v Walsall (1-3 2-0 & 0-4 :( )

Correct Rossi as you are about Sheff Utd

Beat them 1-0 at AG ((Walshy)

Drew second leg 1-1 after Shutty gave us the lead with a diving header - What a good night that was !!!!

Sheff Weds fans on street celebrating as much as we were !!!

This time next week we could confirm our championship status, win vs QPR with Blackburn losing away to Forest. Win at Ewood would keep us up! On the other hand we could be 2 points away from safety!! Defining week that will say a lot about LJ and his players. Who would have thought we could stay up with 3 games to go, quite feasible and we need to make sure we are up for it!

An air of complacency on here that is not warranted. Take your scenario above and reverse this Friday's results. Blackburn to win at Florest and we get mugged by "he who doesn't like us".

We are then One point ahead of Blackburn and with our away form, we are not even sure of a point at Ewood Park on Monday. Leaves us sweating on good results at home against Barnsley, who won't need a team talk from their manager that day, and Birmingham who wouldn't do it to us again, would they?

I now think we'll be safe but it won't be quite as easy as some on here believe. "Always believe that if Bristol City can.............................!

Amazing how things can change really, when you look at the top 6 the season we were in the championship play offs, all are now in the prem bar us....

QPR are a whopping two - two - wins better than us this season; this omnishambles of a season. Same goal difference, just two more wins. There is a bigger gap between us and Wigan, than us and QPR.

Which makes us two wins shy of being "no mugs" then! 

Yes but they were not saddled with an inexperienced manager and a terrible owner!  I bet the QPR fans are renewing their season tickets! They think that Freeman will be their top scorer next season! :chant6ez:

I was thinking of adding an 'except.....'

But I hate even talking about them.

For me, not playing them in the league is my biggest driver for staying up. If they were still in Div 4 or worse, I honestly don't think it would seem as bad!

:clap::clap::clap:

Yes a lot of older ones remember that magic night when we beat Pompey and then promptly lost the last match at home to Notts County 1-2. Its a Bristol City thing although a friend who follows Ipswich says they say the same about them !!

It's possible. I honestly think Blackburn will indeed get relegated, but wouldn't it be nice if we did it to them? Can't remember the last time we relegated another team...

Phillips sent the gas down, lalalala

Did we send Coventry down during our last stint in the Championship?

For what its worth i don't get any satisfaction out it and i never join in the 'going down' chants. Being relegated is horrible, and the fans of said team know it. There's no hiding from it and all of us have been through it. It strikes me as just too mercenary,a bit like chant 'going bust' at a club, i just don't like it.

Seem to remember , I think we were on our way to relegation and were away to Millwall. Pretty much everyone sang 'going bust' to those cheery lads to rub in their money troubles. Just banter init :shifty:

Not for all of us. We had our coach turned back at the turnstile by the OB, they asked someone on the front of the coach if we'd stopped in a pub (we had for directions and we had a swift) so they sent us home with an escort to the MWay. Not only that when we stopped at Cov on the way back they turned up within minutes. Must have had lookouts on the motorway all the way back !!

That is really outrageous treatment of innocent citizens.

One of the stranger things I remember about this match was that the Blades fans all seemed to arrive at the same time about three minutes to kick off.

Also Joe Jordan  owning ' Bramall Lane '

Think we beat Rotherham 3-1 that day and Forest needed us to slip up to finish 2nd. I also remember Rotherham staying behind to clap us of the park. Was a nice touch.

Remember we got a corner with about two minutes to go and left six players back in defence? Always stuck in my mind that.

Think the players being on the lash , (quite rightly) for a couple of days after Pompey didn't help

From memory wasn't one of their goals a screamer , from distance , at the East End ?

We often seemed to lose to Notts County .

In fairness they are a shadow of themselves these days but they had à spell in the First division and  were also managed by our old friend Colin .

We have often been a soft touch .
