Blades - ask a question to the poster below...

[Linz]

Pre-season... it's always the same around here. We have a flurry of new readers and members as the season draws to a close... then all of a sudden, there's nothing to talk about.

So to keep you nattering, let's play a game: ask a question to the poster below.

I'll start a thread by asking a question related to the Blades and/or your support of said club. Another member then replies and includes a question of his or her own.

The thread meanders on with both questions and answers becoming increasingly more bizarre and the loser is the first person to be sectioned under the Mental Health Act for their own safety and the safety of those around them.

Your first question:

This could run to longest answer ever...if we limit this to players in a Blades shirt....equal billing for a full-back called Tony Moore and a forward from Scotland called Duggie Brown. Both as inept as each other!

Nov 2002 at Bradford. 5-0 win for the blades. Just a fantastic day out. A fair few of us went from our village, 9am train to leeds, straight into wetherspoons for beer & breakfast, few more beers around leeds before heading to bradford. Caught man utd v newcastle in one of the boozers and that was a cracking game. Our game was even better, destroyed Bradford with Kabba & Windass up front. After the game police rounded quite a few blades up to march them to the station, we managed to avoid that and hit a few more bars before heading straight back to wakefield to meet up with the mates for a night out and to top of a great day out pulled a stunner in the club - Happy days

If you could pick a former blades player from an era to play in our current squad, who would it be and why?

Why have United got no ambition ?

 

[happyhippy]

It's just that the ambition is so high, we can't see it

How come it took BB so long to mention 'ambition'?
