You’ve piqued my curiosity now. Not English or from Sheffield, then how come you’re a Blade ?With a fairly important caveat that I’m not English (although I live here and hope they win) and the added caveat that neither am I from Sheffield (and don’t live there and hope fervently that Blades win every competition, match and tackle)..
International football is a sideshow, a circus. Might have the majority of the best players there, but rarely even has the best games to watch. I don’t begrudge those who enjoy it though, I see the collective joy (and despair) it can bring, often for people not as involved in football as club fans.
Although, to contradict myself… I remember watching Armstrong scoring against Spain with my dad.. and the sadness watching the Semi Final with my English friends in 1990. But those are brief moments of drama compared to the epic story of the Blades, for I could equally recount taking my dad to see us beat Man Utd in the Fifth Round and the relegation in 1994.
NB.. didn’t vote, as I’m Irish, but Club always.
This poll makes an assumption that probably excludes quite a few of us.
Yours, a Wales fan.
l’m like that . Worrying innit ?I'll still support England in the WC, but I'd rather see the Blades do well.
England could go out in the group stages and yes I'd be disappointed, but nowhere near as pissed off as I'd be about a United loss. Completely ruins my weekend and I turn into a reyt miserable bastard.
Moved to England, was working in Sheffield (Lady HB from Rotherham), was invited along to watch the Blades by some colleagues*. First match was a FA Cup reply against Charlton and was stood on John Street, next match was 4-2 win against Manchester City.. fell in love with the club and city and been that’s about it.You’ve piqued my curiosity now.

Isn’t it you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose?You can pick you friends, you can’t pick your family…or summat like that.
Good choice and sensible colleagues it seems. I actually wasn’t born into it, made my own choice age 12. Thanks for the reply.Moved to England, was working in Sheffield (Lady HB from Rotherham), was invited along to watch the Blades by some colleagues*.

For all of you who suffer the highs and lows of the last decades just remember this… some of us weren’t born into it, we chose it!!
*was also invited to that other team, but I’d been taking an interest in Blades for the couple of seasons before and was keen to see them, so declined that offer.
I'd swap all that just to see Norwood get a free kick on targetI'd even go as far as to say England lose 27-0 in all three group games and don't even get a corner if it meant United definitely get promoted
Blackburn Rovers ?I'd swap all that just to see Norwood get a free kick on target
Yeah agree with this, I’d love to witness a World Cup victory, but if offered the choice of Blades winning the prem or champions league over that I’d be 100% choosing the bladesI'd definitely enjoy a World Cup win more than a Blades promotion. I think a lot of us would, but many don't want to admit it.
Blades to win a something proper would be a different conversation.
