Not getting at Jim as I like the Bloke a lot. I was just interested in his comment about our cup run bringing out the reasons as to why we first loved the Blades.
When I first watched them it was with my Father and Grandfather. Woody & Currie were playing against Leeds, we lost 2 nil and it was downhill from there even down to the old fourth. I didn't know what a promotion was like until the fourth division. I'd suffered the Wendy Boxing day fiasco, the Don Givens fiasco, Relegation after Relegation. But My first season where I bought my own season ticket was when we were in the Fourth, I only knew disappointment up 'til then.
So the "feel good winning" feeling wasn't the reason I became a Blade. It was the Kop it was funny, witty, exiting and great standing watching the match, standing with my mates, having a laugh about the opposition, the anticipation before a game (Which was usually dashed by the end of it) the singing on the Kop. That's what I loved as a kid. Winning later on with Porterfield Bassett and Warnock was good as well but not the reason I became a Blade.
