A year since Clough went

[1973Blade]

A year ago today Negative Nigel was shown the door. We were discussing the prospect of getting Positive Nigel in. We were on the up again!

 

[Ricky]

What a great day that was.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Just when I thought we'd put the lid back on that can of worms!

A year ago today, it was my 30th birthday. That's far more devastating.

16 years further down the track from you, hair goes from where it should be, and turns up in some right "what the fuck" places. Also the joys of your knees sounding like a fucking bonfire when you get up from getting something from the cupboard.

Basically, I'll swap yer

When you hit 40 you realise you will never see the Blades win anything!

I dunno, didn't we win the Yorkshire and Humberside cup back in the late eighties? If not then I must be feeling the joy from something else.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Maybe light a candle for him?

 

[sitwell]

What a great day that was.

Yes the Adkins revolution ,what a great fucking day.

 

[The Crab]

Got no candles so I'll try to cut a nice fart in the lift at work. Hopefully it will irritate as many people as he did.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Nigel Clough stood up for what he believed in, what he was doing, and wasn't going to be told what to do by a prawn sandwich eating director of the club when quizzed about tactics etc.

He demonstrated a high level of dedication and professionalism. Do we want board members making decisions as regards Saturday afternoons ?

Hindsights a wonderful thing. Sacking Clough was an error.

No cake but 6 boxes of Thorntons.

Basically that's my friends and family saying "Here have some chocolate you fat bastard, birthdays mean fuck-all anymore"

I hated that fucking picture as a chabby , along with the 2 metal peacocks on either side of it , ( in our house ) .
The rumour was in a fire in one of the vic hallams around from us the picture was the only thing not burned.
Creepy as fuck .

 

[dublin 10 blade]

In a few years you'll find out why viagra , was invented .

If I had any artistic ability and somebody told me to paint an archetypal 70's prog rock album cover, it would probably come out like that!

Ha ha I remember that story doing the rounds, "the crying boy" painting. I am sure that was based on a similar myth in the Daily Mirror about a painting of a green skinned woman which did the same thing, brought bad luck to peoples houses.

 

[Grappler]

Anyone remember this painting from the 80's, I used to see it everywhere, almost as if it had a life of its own.........

Isn't that the picture that the tabloids said caused houses to catch fire in the 1980s?

 

[Damski]

Pretty disgraceful that we've had 3 managers in the space of 365 days TBF
