The emotional outbursts at the end there was understandable, but way over the top for winning the semi final. They have some time to reset before the final, but I think they lose that. Even if they get promoted, they will have a season in the prem on par with Southampton this year.

He doesn’t work that hard and he’s not a RW.

There's a bit of my "ordinary" class solidarity with anyone and anything from the true North. Anything above Manchester that has been overlooked and disregarded. As such, and I did post about it once 😂, I'd have been ok with Leeds, Boro and these lot coming up. Obviously my inherent hatred of Sunderland means that I have to find a way to navigate past those conflicting emotions. If they come up, so be it. You know they'll build themselves up to be world beaters then, as the season unfolds, reality will bite them in the arse. So what if we drop points to them? We've spunked points to worse teams, tbf 😉 Our, ultimate, trajectory won't be impacted by them but will cast a giant shadow over their entire existence. Let them have their Wembo day out. Looking back at the Carabao Cup when Isak's goal was disallowed then he scored again moments later? That was such a sucker punch for Liverpool. One minute they've dodged a bullet and are boosted by the cancelled goal. Very next minute they're in the mud. Them getting beat in the "final" will be even more crushing. It's all very entertaining 😂😂

Aside from the derbies, there’s lots of fun about them being in the premier league- every week being laughed at on match of the day and podcasts.

The season before that though he had one of the highest scoring seasons for an under 21 in la Liga history. So...

His last season in La Liga. 2021-2022. Isak was 21/22 years old. 41 apps, 10 goals. Please don't take this as me thinking Hojlund is or will be anywhere near as good as Isak. I don't believe it for a second, but he has time on his side to become far, far better. That time is dwindling though.

My memory might fail me.

A derby game now for us is a no win situation really . We are so much better than them that even if we win it's basically just job done but if we did only draw or got beat we would never hear the end of it.

Isak missed most of that season though.

I have zero confidence in Sheff United beating them , as limited as the mackems are they are clearly well organised and will just sit in and make it as tough as possible for them to score . The mackems have already beaten them this season as well.

If that's how you took it, then fair enough. I thought I explained it for the layman, but evidently not. Hojlund is 3 years younger than Isak. How many goals did Isak score 3 years ago? 10. How many goals has Hojlund got this season when people believe he's been atrocious? 10. It was simply a discussion on potential, and how Hojlund had time on his side.

We may drop points to them, they will dine off it. We will win cups and finish top 5, not sure I'll lose too much sleep

Agree. Thought it was suicidal tactics. Take the game by the scruff of the neck, get the crowd up and they'd potentially have had it sewn up by halftime. Allowed Cov to get a foothold and in turn to dominate the 2nd half. Didn't watch extra time so can't comment on that tbf.

Genuinely feel nothing to them going up or staying down. We’re on another planet to them and will be for the forseeable. Sure, the may beat us in a one off game, but it will mean next to nowt in the grand scheme of things.

49,000 single flags with the current badge embroidered on to show that it is easy to produce.

Wages will be massive, Liverpool must be letting him go for a reason.

If only. Wouldn't be against a short-term signing like that who'd help us transition the way we play out from the back for a year or two before someone younger came in and continued it. Happy with Trafford though.

‘Barry, put that castle doon will ye? FFS?’

Could we sign Alisson? They are getting Mamardashvili this summer and Alisson is rumoured to leave? Is that realistic? Is he still world class? Seems to be injured alot.

Have we been linked to Weston McKennie? Ticks a lot of boxes; decent age, versatile, experienced at a high level, entering last year of his contract. If Juve miss out on the Champions League, could they be tempted to cash in? Would he back himself to challenge our current 3?

If they go up, we twat them. If they get battered by sheffield we laugh Win win really

Froggy was comparing Hojlund to Isak a few months ago. Sad state of affairs.

Rodrygo is balance with output. Real Madrid selling him is a dumb move, because to get someone that selfishly works hard to offer balance whilst contributing his output will be hard to replace. Side will become unbalanced in attack like we’ve seen PSG over the years.

One off game, sides alway have a chance. But Sheff Utd have far too much quality if Sunderland play the same again we’ve seen across two legs. Sheff Utd will take their chances, then off the bench, got far more quality than Sunderland / Coventry. The prem money will be on show and it won’t be a shock.

All this guaranteed 6 points is nonsense like and exactly why I don't want them up. It's not guaranteed at all and anything could happen - Luton beat us last season, Ipswich beat chelsea this season, Southampton drew with City etc there's a chance, and us not beating them would be horrible.
