My name is Jehovah and I have a blade problem (applause)

[Jehovah]

I am still feeling depressed about "the curse" which cost us a place back in the championship. It seems pointless supporting a team that is destined to fail for the most inexplicable of reasons.

About 2 hours after the PO defeat, I got a message from a lifelong blade, a poem. I can't remember exactly what it was, but it was some bullshit about constantly getting shit on, but still being a mega blade. I did'nt even read it properly before deleting it. I just cant be arsed at the moment. Its all so uninspiring. Don't get me wrong, I'm usually a positive person, this depression is purley blades related. This makes me wonder.

Are there treatments to give up following us? I want in. Just like a smoker, drinker, gambler, ass addict etc. I'm sick of this constant gut wrenching feeling that follows us around. I would rather save time and money and not bother.

I fully anticipate, " we don't want blades like you" etc etc, but seriously, is anyone else thinking whats the point?

You'd have to change your name to gregos traitorelli and disappear for a bit!

It's easy join me in being a lifelong man Citeh fan

 

[shorehamview]

You don't have to go. Spend Saturdays looking after orphans, or abandoned kittens, or some other worthwhile endeavour.

 

[JohnDenver]

Support England instead. They're good.

Hi Jehovah my name is Raul. I was feeling just like you a year or so ago when the only emotion SUFC engendered in me was rage. I'd wake in a cold sweat in the wee ones, an eternal loop running round and round my head McCabe,Nosworthy,Adams,Justin Ward. All taunting and haunting me,constantly. What you have to do is find something with the capacity to piss you off even more so you can re-train your brain and find peace and pleasure watching your club again. Thank you, Ronnie Irani.

 

[boo radley]

Based on the treatment required to make you think good. Find something even worse to make you think 'What's the point'. A good place to start would be BBs posts.

 

[TarquinDelouche]

I think the trick is to see the club as a sitcom.

 

[Ollessendro]

Jehovah me owd mucker. Y dun that come n elp me mi build mi shed on Sat-di afternoon's?? Tha'll soon be begging t get back darn t'Lane n watch United tek on Crawley Tarn!!?

 

[beightonblade]

I've felt like it since TC was sold.
Mind yer now we have a decent owner things might change

 

[dingledog]

A Saturday afternoon shopping with Mrs D would cure you for good, it might be tough being a Blade but its a darn sight better than visiting Meadowhell and being seriously glum.

Think that every season.

You just hope like when we actually got promoted to the PL that we do get a bit of a break sometimes. We even got promoted well before the end of the season as well which I didn't expect as I thought a wobble would be on the cards.

Au contraire. There's something quite magnificent in finding so many unlikely ways to fail.

As well as the usual (piss poor running of the club and general bad management that any old club can fall into) we've managed to find whole new and unlikely scenarios to exploit.
Who'd heard of "third party ownership" until we came along to be fucked by it? How many players don't get away with the sort of behaviour Evans indulged in? For fuck sake even the other bloke that gave her a seeing to got away with it.

No, we must rejoice in our uniqueness and celebrate the acheivements it give us.

How many would have thought that we could be on the receiving end of the opposition failing to score all of its first 3 penalties and still end up losing when the Goalie blazes over the 11th effort? Absolute genius.

The question "How next?" is far more interesting that most football you get to watch these days so we're lucky to be able to speculate so often.

Wish I could still feel rage. I used to but in the last few seasons it's just turned to apathy. Eventually you just stop giving a shit.

Well almost. Cos when the Blades are truly in you just can't quite shake them off, and I've tried.

What does piss me off is that despite the incredible and often dubious circumstances surrounding many of our dramatic failures and given that we are presumably the most under performing club since the war given our average attendances, that we don't even get the long-suffering tag or unluckiest club tag. We just remain invisible to the outside world - we can't even get that right.

The heart and passion of the club has been sapped over the last few years for many reasons. Going up or not going up didn't really matter in the overall picture of that demise.

In fact the pigs finally getting away from us again and our further demise may eventually give us back that special feeling and passion the fans and the club had about it in years gone by. Providing there are any fans left.

Always look on the briiiiight side of life

Or as a train wreck in slow motion. I just laugh at it these days and wonder what other creative ways we can come up with of fucking up.

Comedy is tragedy plus time.

 

[beightonblade]

7 points in front ...two games to go ....were in wi a chance !

 

[metalblade]

The more I think about last season and us missing the 22nd penalty to lose the play off final the more I think Chinese betting scam .................. nah even they couldn't make that one up, could they ????

 

[cahill]

I think you have to have a sense of humour

 

[Ollessendro]

You have to take a step back and marvel at our tendency to fuck things up. Even after sitting in the top 2 all year, but then fucking things up we still looked to set a new record. Maxiumum points ever for a team to go up. With 10 seconds left United were on 92 points and set to break Sunderland's record of 90 points not to go up. Then we go and concede, with pretty much the last kick of the game. About sums us up really. Not even able to 'win' the biggest losers record.

 

[Guesty]

We fucked up our chance to fuck up in style, in style!

 

[super_pig]

if we were about to win the league..
aliens would land in the middle of the pitch in the 89th minute and the fucking season would be cancelled

Shit happens - you're a Blade aren't you?
