News is that the Blades are a small team who get no respect within the Championship. OK we don't have a barrel of money but there were times when United were discussed within the top echelons of football management. I have recently uncovered letter's sent between Bertie Mee and Bill Shankly.

Now their dream of a Shoreham Street Argos never came into fruition but if we can just put a few quid on the Kop tickets that dream could come true. Come on Blades, lets do it…..
 

Cracking post.

Whoosh 1: Over the head and not getting the joke. 2: Being too young to get the joke. 3: Just hate me because I am a Black disabled Lesbian.
 
I doubt very much it's Spice to blame.

Probably Monkey Dust.

I like to imagine that he has it blown into him a la Stevie Nicks by a robed & bejeweled flunkie, as sits on an ergonomic stool naked, furiously typing his streams of consciousness. :D
 

When you thought it couldn't get any worse........

I actually thought that there might be an older Blade who got this but to get the Argos joke you needed to be at least my age.

The song went: Bertie Me said to Bill Shankly have you heard the news from Highbury, he said no I don't think so but I have heard of the Shoreham agro. My joke was how commercial the game has become and Argos was substituted for agro , Hotel, residential propitiates. Mind you, I am a nutter and do deserve your scorn....

I'm older than you. I "got it". I've sent it to Hislop for inclusion in Psueds Corner next issue.

Not as I remember. The two versions were:

Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly
"Have you heard of Sheff Wednesday?"
He said "No, I don't think so...
...but I've heard of the S U F C"

or

Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly
"Have you heard of Sheff Wednesday?"
He said "Yes, they're in a mess....
.. they're at the bottom of division three".

My joke was how commercial the game has become and Argos was substituted for agro

I thought it was a reference to the Argos order slips that rained onto the pitch in their thousands in lieu of bog roll.

I bet the Argos on the Moor could never understand why every other Saturday so many slips were used with no corelation in increased orders.

Mind you, I am a nutter and do deserve your scorn....

"I'm mad I am"

Hmmmmm

Thanks for the explanation and I agree that you are a nutter and that you deserve our scorn. ;)

Si, Si, Si, Si. You've been opening up the sherbet space ships and sniffing again haven't you?

Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly
Have you heard of the North Bank Highbury
He said no, l don't think so
But I've heard of the Shoreham, Boot boys.

Marcus, please post the above in Latin and Ancient Greek when you come back down to earth. Thanks.
