No, not " To be on your own / With no direction home / Like a complete unknown / Like a Rolling Stone " but to be a supporter of a club which, today, sits proudly at the top of the Football League Championship and is receiving accolades from other fans, players, managers and the media on a scale unparalleled in my ( very long ) lifetime.

The latest of these comes in a fine article in the Sunday Times by Rod Liddle under the heading " .... and the Blades are showing a touch of imperious grandeur ".

IMPERIOUS GRANDEUR for fucks sake !!! - did anyone on here ever expect those words to be written about Sheffield United in their lifetime, let alone within 18 months of the depths of despair we were in at that time ?

Thank God for Chris Wilder, who's given us our club back in a miraculously short space of time and made an old man very happy

I think we are more Inglourious Basterds than imperious grandeur.......... we take no prisoners
 
In my 40 years of watching the blades. I've witnessed some big highs and some bloody low points!!. My feeling at the moment can be summed up in 2 words- UNBELIEVABLE PRIDE. I just can't believe the transformation of my beloved blades under wilder!!. I thought we'd be ok this season but bloody hell to be sitting on top of the championship after 10 wins in 14 games it's fantastic. In wilder we trust. Utb
 
I’m just about at the stage where I’m beginning to think we are the real deal and on the verge of a great era at the Lane.

Can’t say I’ve ever felt like this before. I’ve seen the promotions under Bassett and Warnock and they were glorious. But this time it feels different.

I’m starting to believe we can go up this season, not only go up but go up as champions.

...and when we get there I think we’ll stay there.

It’s all down to one man. He won’t do a Warnock and think it’s all about him. He won’t potentially derail our season by encouraging interest from other clubs halfway through.

He bleeds red & white like we do, he wants it as badly as we do.

The man at the top, McCabe, will have learnt harsh lessons from the past. The Prince will surely step up in January if needed. We’re that close.

My old Blade self would be hesitant to say it out loud knowing our history of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Not this time. The Blades are going up!

The Burton game at the lane with madkins in charge,does anyone remember it?.......Jesus!.
We left the ground zombie fashion,I said to my mate “I don’t think I’ll ever see united in the premier” and my mate said “No chance,it won’t happen in our lifetime”
He said to me a few days later that the game was so bad he coud’nt sleep thinking about it,We laughed in that rather protectionist and self deprecating way that we’d mastered as downtrodden blades and resigned ourselves to a lifetime of disappointment.
Well foooookin el! ..........Enter Mr C wilder and how things have changed ! the sky’s the limit.
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL.
 
What does it mean??
I'm only a lad from Sheffield, never seen words like that before!:p

When I saw the thread title I was thinking more Inspiral Carpets than Robert Zimmerman "how does it feel to be lonely, how does it feel to be small, how does it feel when your world means nothing at all ..."
 
Rod Liddle was one of VERY few journalists prepared to interpret the Ched Evans case on it's merits especially in that spell after he was released before he was proved innocent in the eyes of the law, he's a Millwall supporter btw. I think that probably meant he is better disposed to us in the first place that your average PC Guardian hack.

n.b. North Somerset Blade, "Imperious Grandeur" fits the tune of La Donne e Mobile (it actually fits it better than La Donne e Mobile come to think of it) which I regret writing down because its so politically incorrect, but most feminists haven't probably, properly ever thought to translate it.

"How does it feel ...." is the opening line not only of the song Joe Shaw cites (is that Bob Dylan?) but also 'Blue Monday' is it not?

therefore if some South Yorkshire lyricist can come up with some libretto, it would make for a nice Joy Division/New Order double header when elided with 'Brooks will tear you apart again' .........


.... just saying like .....

Good call. Someone want to get some more lyrics together?

Maybe start with 'We've seen some shite you know....fell down from low to low.......then 18 months ago.....

 
no mate, you're gifted ---- I could only think of 'imerious grandeur' over and over again, then repeated a bit & maybe a dal capo al fine for a laff !

with only possibly a bit of the old rubato to relieve the tedium?
 
Tell me how does it feel, when your heart grows cold, grows cold, cold.....an epithet for the Adkins Years.

Having quoted La Donne e Mobile, you obviously meant this one:
