[Football] The Championship playoff final

[Doc Lynam]

Probably the greatest game for schadenfreude in the football tier.

But who do you want to win?

Blades back up for a season or the Black Cats with the media saying they’re final back where they belong?

 

[Chicken Run]

Sheffield all day long, of the two, Sheff will more likely to be in the bottom 3 all season

The thought of Leeds and Sunderland in our division with their entitled fan base is depressing

Sunderland, so we can have them and Newcastle away I'm the same week.

I have family in Sheffield, family in Yorkshire so it'd be perfect to visit them if Unite come up... but... but... but... had to go Sunderland. Stadium I've never been to and a fan bade that have SUFFERED so much (and we've all been able to watch on netflix) I'd love to see them in the Premier Leauge next season.

Road Trip!!!!

My mum lives in Newcastle so I wouldn't mind Sunderland. Naff all to do on Wearside but fancy a trip to some of my favourite Newcastle pubs

 

[Uh_huh_him]

BBC has the kick off time listed as 15:01
The same is happening for the other play offs 13:01 & 15:01

any idea why this is?

 

[BevBHA]

Sunderland. So we can smash them with Jason Steele in goal to really take the piss

 

[Mackenzie]

Sheffield. It’s closer, and a good day out.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Sunderland.

All day long.

Son is married to a Mackem, and we'd have a brilliant away day/weekend.

Plus, I've not been to the new ground (went to Roker Park back in the day)

Plus, Sheffield Utd stunk the PL out last time. and would do again.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Also, Newcastle v Sunderland is always a good watch (if only for the horse punching goons)

 

[RM-Taylor]

Sunderland - need to tick off the Stadium of Light - although I imagine there’s quite a few who are also in the same situation so an away game up in the North East might actually sell out

This. Voted purely on easiest trip for me.

British Heart Foundation drawing attention to CPR - "every minute matters".

 

[PeterT]

Sheffield United. The away seats at Sunderland make those at St James’s Park seem almost acceptable by comparison!

I think Sunderland would struggle massively....but agree, the levels of entitlement (and media love-ins) would be through the roof with Leeds AND Sunderland.

 

[BBassic]

Sunderland because I had a good time managing them on FM23.

 

[Easy 10]

Sunderland all day long. Great stadium (I went to the 2-0 loss back whenever that was), and it's someone "new" to play in the PL.

Just imagine having fixtures with Burnley AND Sheffield Utd. I'm yawning already.

Quite Sheff United is just dull, them being back straight away after letting in 100 goals in the league should not be allowed

Yeh shame they moved it. When we went there in 2005 or whatever it was we were directly behind the goal

Nowhere near as high up as SJP though surely
