Wimbledon away at Selhurst before the semi against Arsenal. Freezing cold night and so few people in the crowd the ref could probably hear everything everyone said. As soon as the opportunity arose, with the ref daring to venture near our end for a corner, Maidenhead lead us all in a rousing chorus of "Who's yer father..." It's probably the first time I've seen a referee not only smiling, but properly laughing.

Terrible game though.

Was that when their fans were boycotting too so the crowd was really small? Just needed one of Selhurst’s famous nuclear pies/sausage rolls as a hand warmer !

I was in the home end behind the goal, there was nobody sat within 6 seats of me either side front and back. If it's the same game.

They all probably didn't want to risk you taking your usual tumble and laying on them 🤣
 
Against Watford away. Pretty sure it was the last match of the season around 2004/5?

Anyhow, everyone started singing “Peter Reid has got a monkey for a heeeed” (head).

Lasted the whole game for no reason whatsoever. Peter Reid was nothing to do with Watford
 
I remember pretty much the entire United crowd spending the entire second half away at Bury, may they rest in peace, taking the piss out of a local and his bucket hat.

"He's got a lampshade on his head"

"Did your mother buy your hat?

"We don't like your hat" [to the tune of Who Ate All The Pies]

And so on. Only a modicum of attention was paid to the actual match.
 
Not surprising really, don't forget he played 8 and a half season for us, man and boy, was first name on the sheet, and played an average of 45 competitive games a season....
The other song I associate with that period was "Rose garden" ...... ;)

Go on then. Lots will remember this one. Manchester United at home early 70s, “Georgie Best Superstar carries a handbag and wears a bra”. Within minutes went all around the stands.

Believe that was the match where Georgie did sweet Fanny Adams, was never in the game, with, as you say, crowd on his back, Blades winning 1-0 from first half. Last 10 mins., got ball beat two maybe three players passed, 1-1, felt like a loss as I left.
That was George Best and the seasons return match for the away game with 'that' Best goal.🙁

Should have been at that game. Unfortunately laid up with a pot on a shattered ankle. What year and date was it?

71-72, April 4th.
Funny you should say that, Silent put on a photo of the Ipswich 7-0 victory, same season.
Three days earlier I fell through a roof, so mi grandad came round to regale me all the details whilst I was laid up at home.

It was SB. Took the eldest lad, well only one at time, just three weeks off his seventh birthday.
Tuesday night match, believe, had to go home first pick him up, so couldn't get on terrace so went on kop. I had a right job getting to John St to meet my grandad and uncle, his youngest lad, as they came out the stand.
The late goal deflated everyone as it wasn't too bad a game, most expecting Blades to hang on and were by and large on top.

Can you remember who was in the net for Man U?

I remember that one.
We went two nil down but won three two as I recall.
'Two nil and you fucked it up ' was the chant then.
 
Anyone remember the ball boy, stopping a 'goal during a cup game with Liverpool? Think it was late 70s? Liverpool on the attack, linesman signalled offside, the Liverpool player carried on, rounded tge keeper and rolled the ball towards the goal, ball boy ran on stopped it crossing tge line,, standing ovation!
 
Was anyone at the Lane when Chic came on at half time and performed Freak Out, and it went down like a lead balloon? Completely bizarre, and as the introducer, like a desperate Alan Partridge during a feeble North Norfolk Country Fair, tried desperately hard to get some enthusiasm going, the guy next to us mumbled "Give it up for Glen Ponder and Chic".
 
If you wear a yellow jacket you're a c**t sung at Stoke away after it all kicked off in the away end in 2007.

Stick your f**King Tower/other objects up your arse usually at Blackpool then someone randomly shouts sideways.

The random Go on then chant when we got a corner

In a very girly voice

A random chant that started at Grimsby was

"Cock, cock, cock, cock, Cockerell,
Cockadoodledodadoodleoooo"

Everyone jumping about like lunatics to the Cockadoodledoodadoodledoo bit

Remember an older Blade telling me that the Grimsby fans, keeping with their general fish theme and in reference to this player's infamously big proboscis, sang "Thompson is a swordfish, Thompson is a swordfish, na na na ooh..." in a match around the same period.
