'Memries' Sheffield United 1980-1981

[JJ Sefton]

At least its all uphill from here.

 

[Cheets]

I can remember we won our first three games without conceding and took the lead in our fourth game. Sigh...

 

[1973Blade]

My first season, I've been waiting for this one

 

[Tyler Durden]

I quite like that kit.

 

[coaxingstar71]

It's quite disturbing how the team evolved from fairly decent when HHH took over to a shower of shite when he left.

 

[VLYDONIMIR]

To combat the pain of watching that, I am now toothless, no anaesthetic either.

Akin to showing post-war German kids the seasons between 1939 & 1945.

 

[JJ Sefton]

The interviews with Peters and Haslam at the end of the Swindon game are hilarious. "Haslam's done a good job here"

 

[Red Hot Currie]

Christ Walthay. ...... why do this to Blades of my generation??? Just why???? I've spent most of my life trying to forget that season and that utter dog turd of a kit (Tyler.... you're kidding us aren't you???). I just couldn't stop myself watching it though. Now I need another drink..... sob....sob....sob....

 

[coaxingstar71]

Bring on 1981-82 quickly!

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Dogshit team, dogshit kit, dogshit pitch, dogshit season!

It's a decent kit! Striking and bold. Could probably get rid of the thinner side stripes I suppose.

What happened to Matthews after the Walsall game? I hope a lynching was at least attempted?

Played regularly in the 4th division season before leaving the club on a free

Are you doing this to prove to the young uns who say we've never been as bad,that we have

Or do you just like to see grown men cry

He took a shit penalty but at least he had the balls to take it.

On the Video about 14:08 look at the Swindon No4 - is it Lionel Ritchie ?

It's not all depressing videos.

 

[blade too long]

the kop singing , were going to win the league at 3=0 up against Swindon seems a tad optimistic in hindsight

Texted our mutual friend Ricky about you this morning! ;-)

 

[JJ Sefton]

Haslam - "I was asked if we'd make a team, I said 'Well you've got Peters and Lee now you've got Peters and me so what's the difference?'"

Is that the daftest thing a Blades manager has ever said?

He is fine and well. Still making people laugh with his jokes and impressions!

Wasn't it inspired by Ajax? Except we played like Jifs in it!

Isn't it actually a young and future blade, the supremely talented Chris Kamara.....

I know, "Unbelievable Jeff!".

He doesn't say what of, perhaps he meant "Haslam's done a good job here... of dismantling a good team and replacing it with a bunch of journeymen, has-beens and no-hopers".
