You Know You're a Blade when...

When someone asks me who i support i answer in either two ways.

If i don't know who they support i say Sheffield United

If i know who they support and they support a big 4 side i'll always say United, and when they start going on about Man Ure then i'll correct them and say 'Sheffield United actually, there is more than one United"

If i'm on holiday and see someone from Sheffield, if they are a Blade i usually end up talking for hours to them, if they are Wendesdayites then the conversation is usually a short one.

Whenever i'm out with the missus, if i see a face i recognise from the Lane i will usually nudge the missus and tell her they are a regular at the Lane.

Throughout childhood and adulthood i have always held my breath passing Hillsborough

With you on this one that's exactly what I do:thumbup:

You've just been born in the front room at home. The ambulance woman who delivered you hands you to your dad who, instead of carrying you the two yards needed to meet your mother, takes you out into the hall to see the picture of Bramall Lane.
 
As you can probably see, I LOVE THIS THREAD!

I can't really think of anything else more specifically.

But as an exile, when travelling to the lane on a match day i take a look round at others waiting for trains and then i get smug feeling knowing that I am the one there thats going to the Lane.
 
When there is a car in front of you with a wendy sticker in the back and you scream "Hurry up pig!" at the driver even though you are aware they can't hear you.
 
when you cant resist telling the lad in your hotel wearing the pig shirt that he,s got shit all over it!.....caused plenty of domestics,but i just cant help it,its a blade thing.
 
1. You physically cannot drive past the sty without flipping the bird, encouraging everyone else in the car to do the same.

2. You're driving somewhere listening to 5live and you hear the blades have scored so honk the horn several times.....even if it means scaring the shit out of the poor old dear on the zebra crossing directly in front of you.

3. You genuinely do not know what you want the result to be when dirty leeds play the piggies.
 
every time you hear the can-can music or see it performed, you break out into "nah! nah! nah! nah! eee's a blade eee's a blade"

Or Can't help falling in love, or Hey Jude, or Singing the Blues...you get what I mean.

"Rose Garden" & "You can do magic" on radio 2 on the same day brings a tear to the eye.
 
Getting Annie's song requested by my wife at our wedding reception a couple of weeks ago, standing in the middle of the dance floor arms out stretched with my brother belting out the 'proper' words. Also getting my West Ham supporting father in law to sing along before he realised what it was :)
 
Having to drive the long way around Owlerton so you don't actually have to pass the sty.

Having to drive the long way around Heeley just so you can pass BDTBL.

You have nowhere to put any belongings in your bedroom as every corner has a pile of programmes.

LADIES - your jewellery box from childhood is now filled with match stubs.

You can't throw away your old replica shirts, even though they don't fit, 'cos they cost £40!!! It's a Blades shirt, and you just *have* to keep it.

You keep a copy of the fixture list from The Star next to the tv, 'cos the last time you did it, we got promoted, and the time after you did it, we got to play-off final.

You have to go through the same turnstile into a game throughout a season, and anyone you go to a game with you have to go through in the same order.

you have to take a regular toilet breaks at work on Saturday afternoons between the hours of 3pm and 5pm.... lunch must have disagreed with me again....

You can't not wear your Blades chain, as it's unlucky if you don't wear it.

The next child born in your family has to have a Blades shirt, to ensure they're a Blade.
 
When you keeping telling the partner that the first thing your buying your bady is somet from the blades shop.

When she turns round and says that it will be a Pig to take the mick you say 'I'll leave you If you try turning it in to a Pig.'

Know you are Blade when you get that beautiful gut feeling whenever you see the lane, whether its for a quick visit to the shop or a match day or on a photo.

You own a copy of When Saturday Comes, and when all your mates who say its sh£$ crap you tell em to P%£^ of just because there jealous they haven't got a film about there footy club.

Are you not aware of the film 'Babe'?
 
If you have to leave the house and the only items of clothing to put on are your step son's pig shirt or your missus' blouse, You say "Mmm smashing blouse."
 

You debate in your head for weeks the merits of going to Coventry away on a Tuesday night, everything and everybody is telling you not to bother. It's expensive, you'll be against the clock, roadworks on the M1 at 5pm are an absolute nightmare but have a nagging feeling in your head and say 'oh fcuk it, i'm going, this could be the game fans talk about for years to come'.
 
When you're on the A1 back from Darlington and you see a car full of blades with one on the roof holding onto the roof rack!

When you're going away and you see an Ice Cream van on the motorway with its chimes playing, with about 5 or 6 blades inside all eating Ice Cream... Genius!

When your mate (who's a pig) comes round and you take his son upstairs and send him back down with a blades shirt on!

When instead of New York New York at the end of a party you insist that the last song must be Annie's Song and eveybody hugs and sings, except for the grunters!

When you sing "High Ho Sheff United" at the top of your voice on your own at a wedding because theirs abut 20 grunters singing the other version.

When you turn up at 5 a side to help a mate out who throws you a Orange grunters shirt and says put that on! And your reply is "You can Fcuk Right off!"

When you have to give your match buddy a high 5 every week when you're through the turnstile (Home or Away)

When you're sat away from home waiting for the game to start looking around the ground and can't contain yourself saying "Its not a patch on Bramall Lane."

As above but saying "Our P.A system pisses all over this one!"
 
I suppose its the domestic argument about going to football, where I replied, 'look I was a blade when you met me so live with it or leave' The moral being, calling her bluff didn't work, she chose to live with it.

Or when you know someone is Blades supporter you give then a discount:D

just had my 32nd wedding anniversary.

When we were courting she said one friday night "can we go shopping tomorrow?"

My reply " Sorry I'm going to the game"

Her response " you think more of Sheffield United than you do of me"

My counter "I've known them longer than I've known you"

Ground rules set. Never been a problem ever since :)

Excellent :thumbup:, I heard a joke similar to this where the counter was
"I think more of Sheffield Wednesday that I do of you"
 
When everytime someone mentions scrap metal you think "Head for Housleys" and have a mental picture of an Alan Woodward lookalike heading the letter O

If ever Ive sat down too long or ache and stand up I cant do it wirthout saying "ooh ahh" followed by "Bob Bookah"

Did this once after a meeting down South . The Bloke was amazed as he was a personal friend of bobs . Told him all blades do it!
 
You give customers at work a hard time 'cos you know they're a grunter.

You make sure that your Blades chain is on full show at work when you know you're serving a grunter, and you say "no - you can't have a discount".

I got dumped for saying that!!!!!

You know you're a Blade, when you see a random stranger with a Wednesday shirt on. No matter how old they are, you suddenly get angry, and have a severe hatred for this person; purely because he's wearing blue and white stripes.

You know you're a Blade when all your non Blades mate email/ text you when they their team beats the pigs to say "hope you liked us stuffing the unclean"

On the subject of the other 'afe... I set the ground rules down at the start of our relationship.

Yes the Blades will always come first, above anything, including her.
England will come next
Then Cricket, rugby, motor sport or any other sport I deem fit.

I expect her to know the results and the players i like or dislike. This changes frequently so keep up. I also provided her with a Blades fixture list for her purse and expect her to check the blades website frequently for transfers.

I don't expect to ever have to have a conversation about football after the Blades have played, unless i instigate it.

If we lose I don't expect any conversation. She should no better.

She'll only come to the games if I decide, but if she does I expect her not to ask daft questions or turn her nose up at me eating a pie just because it looks and smells like sh*te.

Other than thats she's the light of me life and my biggest priority.

It seems to work for me.
 
When you use to go in The Royal on London Road and leave with 10 minutes to spare and get there just for kick off. Going back a few years now.

On her wedding day my superstar of a sister walked into the chapel to Annie's Song - with her Leeds fan husband-to-be stood at the altar!! As I walked her down the aisle (I was giving her away cos we lost our Dad a few years ago) I saw my cousin in his full Royal Navy regalia singing the Chip Butty for all he was worth!! :D

Mind you - they did walk out to Leeds' Walking on Together (but I suppose that's kind of appropriate!)
 
When someone asks you what your favourite colour is and you say red. Despite it probably really being blue, due to the amount of things you own that are blue. But, still you can't admit to it being that because 'them lot' play in blue.

When you have a daughter and son both with the initials of B.L.A.D.E. and yet you have absolutely no idea how you got it past your Derby born wife, except that it's just right!

Also when the aforementioned wife, seeing Paddy save a penalty at Derby stands up and gives the Derby fans the two fingered salute while shouting "have that you sheep shagging bar stewards" or words to that effect, and knowing that you have broke her!:hello:

Taking your son straight from Jessop’s to BDTBL to buy him his first kit, aged just 22 hours old.:D

Welling up when your 18 month old daughter points at your shirt and say's "yite ted".

Perhaps I should seek professional help. :thumbup:
