They felt this result was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least they didn't lose to Norwich, allowing Norwich to close the gap with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside of these clapping fans, almost every fan zone had someone nervously checking their phones for the other match's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"90+2!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"90+3!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kept refreshing, not seeing a 3-3 score but a new page — \"Final!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three to two!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheffield United defeated Cardiff City at home, taking their points to 90!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah.....\" A stir began to rise on a small scale, slowly expanding, enveloping the entire stadium. The applause gradually ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, they felt that a draw against Norwich at home wasn't so sweet after all. In fact, it was a bit unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was apparent that with a draw here in the top clash, Sheffield United was the biggest beneficiary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fack!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a larger uproar broke out in the stadium's South Stand, many fans angrily threw water bottles onto the pitch, ripping their team's jerseys to shreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step down, Neil!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost, look at what you've turned this team into.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Norwich led Sheffield United for a season, and you spent so much money during the winter transfer, where did it all go?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leading by 7 points, only to be overtaken, can you actually lead a team?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Norwich fans seemed to have received news of the victory there and knew their rank slid to third on the leaderboard, out of the promotion zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unacceptable; they had seen direct promotion hopes after 46 rounds and felt increasingly confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this final sprinting phase, they suddenly fell, and are likely heading for the unpredictable playoffs, a psychological shock nobody can handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They care not that the team's points this season might have been enough for the title in other seasons, only whether the team can move up, reach the top league!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queens Park Rangers fans, seeing them like this, felt a bit balanced..... after all, they're still at the top with a 3-point lead, not at a crisis yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, they quietly left the field, leaving it to the enraged Norwich supporters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the stadium, Queens Park Rangers manager Worlock, like their fans, silently returned to the locker room, leaving it for Norwich's head coach, Neil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neil gathered the despondent players together, hesitating for a moment, searching for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took on more guilt; adding last summer and this winter's transfer window together, he spent over 20 million pounds of the club owner's money, and the owner's wrath would be intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the promises made to fans before the media, the pledges given to players in the locker room, expectations from close friends and family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the end of the half-season, I carried my granddaughter around our home stadium, enjoying fans' cheers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose to open the topic with himself to encourage the players: \"Then I told her, at season's end, there would be a grander party here, an honor celebration, and I would certainly bring her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There must be people beside you who anticipate you, like my granddaughter, waiting to join the celebration with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't forget what they place in you, and definitely don't forget the fans; only a 1-point gap, raise your heads and keep fighting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players bit their lips, slowly lifting their heads, Neil clenched his right fist, his right arm trembled: \"Come on, Norwich!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on! Norwich!\" The players shouted in unison, clapping, their fighting spirit reignited, leaving the match's results behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neil led them all to the away fans' stand, lined them up to face their supporters, confront failure head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clap clap clap.....\" They clapped hands, listening to fans' rebuke and even curses, feeling their eyes turn from eager anticipation to disappointment, even despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must remember this moment of guilt and humiliation, strive for one victory after another, ensuring no such emotion appears on themselves again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any aspect, they are, respectable opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>April 16th, Championship Round 42.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bramall Lane Stadium, magnificently lit, with loud song, the match between Sheffield United and Barnsley kicked off here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Janu races past the midfield line, he's still accelerating!
