The curse… should we be worried?

[Sheffsteel]

On Friday’s Radio Sheffield Football Heaven before the Hull match
Rob Staton said he’ll just read out some of the messages he’s received and he said he’s receive one….a strange one with no name on it but it simply says

‘Today a curse has been put on Sheffield United”
‘Now the dark forces will start to work against them and all that they do”
“I praise the day that brings them pain”

We then had a shock defeat against lowly Hull with some bad luck.
They hardly created any chances…yet somehow scored 3 goals.
We had a goal wrongfully disallowed and had several good situations but it was either blocked or put wide.

Giddings and Staton did take the mickey out of the message…wondering if was from a Wednesday fan.
If we fail to beat bottom clubs Derby and Portsmouth in our next 2 matches……then I’m blaming the curse.

Could be the curse, or playing burrows in midfield.

 

[YES Blade]

Didn’t we get a curse put on us when we got rid of the cricket at the Lane? Or wasn’t it something to do with gypsies?

 

[bornablade]

There was a curse put on the club in the 1970's by those Yorkshire cricketers plying their trade in the heavens.

It was, if Yorkshire cricket is banished from Bramall Lane then the club would find itself in Division 4.

Of course in 1975 we laughed off the prediction as we had only just missed out on a European place and the future looked bright.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

There's no such thing as a curse so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

1968, 1981,1994, 2007. 2020 broke the curse, but Covid was our punishment. No curse due in 2025…

Are these curses like storms? Should we be naming them alphabetically??

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Perhaps a named scapegoat for each season. 1981, ‘the curse of Don Givens’?

Anyone know a shaman, just in case?

I'll ask the woman who fixed my foot to see if she can do out

Theeze are goode.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Always be afraid of a curse.

The only way to fix this is for a hardy band of S2 4SU posters to take shoes (and everything else) off and dance naked in the car park at sunset.

Who's with me lads?

May I suggest a remote countryside car park ?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

May I suggest a remote countryside car park ?

Nah, been done before.....don't need nature for pagan rituals, just access to bogs and hot drinks if it gets cold.

Youd be had up for dogging with that one!

Who put the curse on the pigs never to see the Premier League again?

[Blackheath Blade]

Given some of the brainless comments on the "Pig Staton" thread, I expect he'll get the blame for this too and will be hung, drawn and quartered live on tonights Football Heaven.

Under Warnock we lost 4 in a row.

 

[blade too long]

17 games to go 51 points to play for

leeds have won 5 of 14 away games 1 in 3
blades have won 8 of 15 so won 1 in 2

9 away games leeds have dropped points in blades dropped points in 7

lets not panic

 

[Snowflake]

Didn’t know I had to retake a dog. R v Byrne relevant ?

 

[Houston_Blade]

This one should be named ‘Alfie’

 

[Yewsman]

I have maintained for years we are cursed. So many events in our history which would surely never have been predicted or happen to any other club. e.g. the whole Tevez situation.

 

[FH Team]

Just a bit of fun Blades

We did have a Blade text in last night to say he put a curse on Wednesday when they were relegated in 2000, saying they wouldn't make it back to the Premier League for 50 years, which raised a smile.

Anyway, here's part of the show:

 

[McGrath]

Somebody has had voodoo dolls of our players over the last couple of years given the maddening amount of injuries we've had

I’d say it’s more likely that we’ve employed muppets on the strength and conditioning side of things.

 

[reedy63]

Hull beat us in 1971 in that battle at Bramall Lane. If my memory is correct we did not lose again until George Best did us at Old Trafford. Quite a run won promotion and we were top of division one.

Please tell me where I've said that I don't like Rob Staton and shouldn't tune in to Football Heaven?

I think you may be missing my point. Frankly, I don't give a toss who he (or any of the FH Team) supports. Like a lot of people on this forum, I listen to the show sometimes and think that on the whole, they do a decent job reporting on all our local teams. I find it a bit laughable that some people have nothing better to do than to single out Staton for abuse because he's a pig. So what?

I respect you've chosen not to listen to FH for years and that it's "just nonsense". That hardly qualifies you to advise me to stop listening to FH does it? I'm capable of making up my own mind thanks, regardless of the team that Rob Staton supports.

It may be Anel's Dad who said Anel's wife had performed black magic on him. She sounds a useful ally.
