Won a trip to Malta to watch the Blades in pre season friendly through the club, there were 6 of us and the mini bus didn't turn up to take us to the match so Dave McCarthy (CLUB REP ) told us to get a taxi to the game and he would settle up with us later. I paid for the taxi £48 and spent the rest of the holiday trying to get it back off him to no avail, the lying get.

Malta or Malaga?

Thought the tourist board and/or sponsors run those competitions, not the club?

Doesn't sound like the Blades to me, I can ask Dave Mac though?

 

[super_pig]

werent we the first to have floodlights?

Before he became a cinematic icon and international playboy. Nick "Monty" Montgomery played for many years in the heart of the Blades midfield.

He is also Pinchy favourite player, the Pinchmeister often makes cute nicknames up for Monty in the same way your current spouse would.

It's not currently known if Monty reciprocates or if this relationship is purely one sided.

Wilf WAS the zone man.

 

[Hamburg Blade]

Bramall Lane is the only football ground to have been 3 sided, then 4 sided, then back to 3 sided then back to 4 sided once more

That can't possibly be true. Most original grounds will have been three sided at some point in their development and if any of them rebuilt a stand they would have gone down to three sides again.

On the other hand, there's a club in Ukraine whose anthem mentions magnets.

Fucking Boundary Commission. It'll always be Yorkshire to me.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Contrary to popular / conventional wisdom, Sheffield United Football Club DO have a barrel of money - unfortunately it contains bundles of unmarked none sequential ten shilling notes.
Whilst Anthony William Currie remains (returned), neither Alan Woodward (RIP) nor Edmund Peter Skirving Colquhoun, now play a significant role at Bramall Lane
As for anticipated promotion .........

It was meant rather tongue in cheek

I'm a very serious person, I'll have you know. We'll have none of that silliness round here.

That's the Tasting Menu at The Happy Crab.

Is the Happy Crab a restaurant or a massage parlour ?

It's a little of both. You can have the Fish Surprise and the Happy Ending both at once.

In the triple assault season Neil Warnock moved Phil Jagielka to right back vs Wolves on the back of a letter I sent him.

In closing, he advised if we lost, he would blame me. We won 3-1 and he stayed there for the rest of the season including the unbelievable strike vs Leeds.

On local radio afterwards, he thanked a London based Blades fan and said Jags had a blinder.

I should add, I lived alone at the time and had a lot of free time on my hands!

In the early years, Sheffield United was owned by strict teetotal Methodists who forbade players from drinking (at least being seen to), owning public houses, renting accomodation that was above a pub, or advertising or promoting alcohol. It was stipulated in players contracts.

I'm beginning to think I've wandered into a recording of 'Would I Lie To You?'. I'm going for 'that one's a lie'.

The Driver of the train that brought the triumphant 1925 FA Cup winners back to Sheffield was a Cardiff City fan called Barry

Even the ones from Barry.

Were you to blame for Jags playing there against Wigan when we were relegated?

In 1924 our keeper Harold Gough (who won the 1915 FA Cup medal) decided to become a publican in Castleford which broke the conditions in his contract, He received a 6 month suspension and then left us to join Castleford Town.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Were you to blame for Jags playing there against Wigan when along with Colin's stupidity and mardiness he relegated us.

Small edit

I’d put my pen down by then. But hey, how do you combat a world superstar like Kevin Kilbane?!

He didn't stay there for the rest of the season!

Later in the season Curtis (on loan) and Kozluk were the fullbacks and Jagielka moved to central defence and partnered Page.

Until very recently there was a Nigerian church under the John Street corner stand.

Yep. Jags played right back that season vs Wolves on my recommendation and we won 3-1.

When left to his own devices, Warnock picked Curtis there and within minutes he’d failed to close down Kennedy and we were 1-0 down on the way to losing 3-0.

How many letters was I supposed to write? I’d already told him once!
