We ain’t got a barrel of money

[Jimmy23]

Not taking anything away from Alan Woodward, Currie and Eddie - they were all fantastic servants for the blades. But..why do we still sing this chant? These players played over 40 years ago? And if that is the case, why don’t we sing about Edwards, Deane or Brown? At least they’re most recent

"We ain't got a barrel of money,
Thank fuck we ain't got Lunny,
With McBurnie, Ndaiye,
We'll fuckin' fly,
UNITED!!"

All together now???

 

[derfblade.3]

Don't sing it then miserable sod. They were special players and were the best i have ever seen at the club. If it upsets you so much then make up your own Deano song or whatever.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

International break time……..

It's going to be a long 4 weeks.

 

[Eza Blade]

As soon as the game finished this exact conundrum ran through my head……wait……wait…..did it fuck.

 

[Fatlad666]

It's going to be a long 4 weeks.

I'm going to need more medication if this carries on

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Top, injuries meaning we haven't really hit our stride yet, players back for the next game hopefully....shit what can I moan about?!

Also why do we sing about Woodbines when they aren't available any more, and are scientifically proven to be killers.

Also sheffield United may not be the greatest team the world has ever seen.

I'm going to have words next match.

 

[Katzenjammer]

Because they've earned a permanent place in the tapestry of our history that's why.

Even I recognise that, and they'd all left United before I was even born.

 

[Greystones Blade]

Because as a pair in their prime they’d walk straight into any England team of the last 40 years - deservedly. They were that good.

 

[JJBlade]

It also tells the whole world that we are a poor, debt ridden, tosspot of a club that is forever behind the likes of Millwall and Wigan, which isn't true, because we have ten times more money that 20 of the 24 Championship clubs were competing with.
I have a really strong hatred for this song and I cringe when I hear being fired up.

 

[Katzenjammer]

And besides, the reason it has endured is because in its essence, it's not really about Currie, Woodward, or Colquhoun per se.

It's about the Unitedness of having fuck all going for you, and then even losing the best of what you have. But hope springs eternal. If that's not the very core of what being a Blade is, then I don't know what is.

 

[JJBlade]

Because as a pair in their prime they’d walk straight into any England team of the last 40 years - deservedly. They were that good.

They would if they left United,
Bit like Ivan Toney would probably be going if he was doing the business for someone other than Brentford.
It is more difficult to score twice against Man City than it is to score twice for Man City, but no England manager will ever recognise this because it's his paymasters that decide who's going and who isn't.

This is the reason why England won't win owt, it's favourite players from the favourite clubs regardless of form

Cheer up chuck, there's 91 other clubs in the league.

Feel free to fuck off to any one of them

 

[JJBlade]

Feel free to fuck off to any one of them

And none of them sing owt as embarrassing

 

[Katzenjammer]

And none of them sing owt as embarrassing

Then you're blessed with the wonderous variety of all those clubs I told you about.

Off you pop

No, I'll just use earplugs when I hear the most embarrassing song in football

 

[Katzenjammer]

No, I'll just use earplugs when I hear the most embarrassing song in football

You've got much more to be embarrassed about than a song...

 

[JJBlade]

You've got much more to be embarrassed about than a song...

I've got nothing to be embarrassed about. Not sure why I should be embarrassed about a song I don't like, other than it not being Bladey, Wadey, Brilliant to criticise it.
It's shit, that's my opinion

Every line still applies.

We ain't got a barrel of money - check
We ain't got Woodward or Currie - check
But we're heading for home, promotion soon, united - check

Everything's shit in your opinion, you one-trick pony. Same fucking shtick for well over a decade.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

"We ain't got a barrel of money,

All together now???

Seems silly considering Mcburnie cost quite a bit

Awww diddums, have you lost your little temper over a song,

 

[Katzenjammer]

Awww diddums, have you lost your little temper over a song,

Aww diddums, have you lost your temper over the very fact of your miniscule existence?

Have a well deserved pat on the back pal, that`s not bad .
