How the mighty have fallen, how our respective fortunes have changed. From turning us down for the mighty Norwich and getting two assists for Stockdale ( apparently norwich's third highest goalscorer that season), from collecting u20/21 England caps to becoming a star for L1 Sunderland

But we, the club he spurned for the Norfolk mutants, grow and grow.

He has talent, it is on show tonight, he is only 29, could we have taken him with us?

At the time quite possibly But water under the bridge now
Very much a sliding doors moment in his career

I suspect he regrets his choice. I honestly don’t care about him anymore. I’d rather have MacAllister.

It does make me smile when I see his name in L1 and couldn't even make it in the Championship. Might make me petty, but I still harbour dislike for him for the way he turned us down and our respective fortunes.

Sad, but he got what he deserved (not a glittering PL career).

He got one over us playing for Norwich though. Stopped us winning the league. Don’t know why we are so bitter saved us a few quid on a dud clearly.

He probably thinks about that decision a lot more than we should. He's an irrelevance now.

SUIYHP · May 7, 2022

He may have picked wrong, but he picked the team that made more sense to him at the time. To his credit he did end up getting Premier League time with Huddersfield, which honestly puts him in a position millions of talented young English lads can only dream of achieving. Let bygones be bygones imho. We’ve moved on and am sure so has he.

I think we lost the league ourselves. We had other opportunities (Bristol City?) and failed due to our hangovers.

Official Old Man · May 7, 2022

Tuned in late last night just in time to see him put in a lovely shot that came off the cross bar. Unlucky. But up until then I was a fence fan watching a good game. I became a Sheff fan from there. Subbed in a fiasco of wrong numbers and players coming off and back on again in the 80th minute.

I also watched prickchard. Even with him in the owl and the pussycat re run, I will never want owls over cats

Still, he can always reminisce about that time he hired a jet-ski for an hour in Dubai. Living the dream! :lol:

Harry Wilson's tackle · May 7, 2022

I enjoyed the game, and would like to see massive win the tie.

Let me rephrase that. I would laugh maniacally to see Sunderland spend yet another year in tier three.

Oh, and massive to lose the final. To Wycombe. Hilarious.

As for Pricktard, all I remember about him now is those two lovely goals he pinged off Stockdale's back. I wouldn't want to mock a stranger for their disappointing career.

He did not stop us winning the league.
We had 3 games to play after we had won promotion, unfortunately our players switched off after the Wigan match.

Something that I still can’t let go

Yup, players on the piss blew a SEVEN point lead over Newcastle with three games to go. Total cocks. Still, they'll have a runners-up medal to show their grandkids

And Newcastle fans have been laughing at us ever since, but fair play to their team for being more professional.
That last home game against Bristol City still pisses me off, should have been the icing on the cake lifting the trophy that day.

I'm still pissed off with our players - for THEIR sakes - for pissing on their own parade. Still vividly recall the Championship Winners podium being made ready at the Amex... and then being quietly packed away again. This is what you COULD have had, you silly ****s

Neville's Breakfast · May 7, 2022

Players often have to choose clubs. You win some, you lose some. Same in the real world career market. He might have made it as a goalie for us though…

Didn't Lewis Grabban turn down Albion once? Looks like he will have to get Forest up thru the play-offs, and might well be replaced if they make it into the Prem.

This. It's time to move on now. In any case he is the one who has missed out in all this, certainly not us.
