The life of a sheffield united footballer

[judge]

What a way to earn a living
Keep up with the latest trends ( beards tattoos or anything else that you can look back on a few years later and think what the fuck was i thinking ?)

Post the odd remark on twitter to prompt hundreds of replys telling you how great you are and why we need you in the team and such like

Drive a flash car ( usually parked up as youre too hungover to drive most of the time )

Get yourself down town most nights with the local slags all over you they dont know youre stealing a living

Not really sure what else they do

Tattoos ?

They loose football games

 

[wizadry]

They also wear their caps back to front and slip all over the place on the pitch because although they get shit loads of money, they seem to not be able to afford studded boots.

I have a beard and tattoos.

Unlike the cunts at United however, I also have to fulfill my job description or I'll be out of the door.

Have you got the local slags all over you ,that's what we need to know ?

Sadly not, a recent survey showed that two-thirds of women in Yorkshire don't like men with beards.
Seriously considering moving to Canada and becoming a lumberjack.

Well, you'd be part of a fine Sheffield tradition...

Probably be cheaper to have a shave?

 

[Bladesman]

Perform shit

Go home

Get paid

BLASPHEMY!

Really important one: Talk a good game.

Oooh, another one: Disappear from Twitter if you're a first team regular. It's easier to bury your head in the sand that way.

 

[BushBlade]

Get booed at, called a cunt, have pissed up lairy fuckers in your face whilst you're out wearing a jumper round your shoulders. Career ended at 35 with only about a 10% chance of getting a job that pays anything like what you're used to, wishing you'd saved a bit more of your cash and not pissed it up the wall with your promising career, whilst watching some kid you knew from youth football becoming a pundit on Sky because he didn't go out drinking, worked hard at training and got a move to a PL club.

They think it's great now.

McNulty seems to spend more time tweeting than playing football. Seems Adkins doesnt rate him any more than Clough (yes I know he signed him). Think he will be one of the first out of the door (they'll just let him leave I think) to the backwaters of Scottish non league...mean League One.

McNulty gets right on my tits with that. He only goes on Twitter to announce that his big fucking entourage is coming down from Edinburgh to get pissed after the match. Exactly the attitude we need to eradicate from this club.

I agree. Not sure he and Scougall and those been given a chance realise the opportunity they have - sadly they are not good enough and do not care enough. Maybe when there agent is giving them the options for the next contract between likes of Yeovil or Alloa with awful facilities in front of a 1,000 or less on probably a fifth of wage they are on now they might realise they will have never had it so good.

Probably accompanied by Done, sadly, as he seems distinctly unhappy at the moment, probably wishing he hadn't left a big club to join our failing outfit.

 

[Deadbat]

Yeah Done was one I liked but he seems as equally useless as the rest of them at the moment. He is not even running around like a headless chicken any more.

I dont rate him on the field. The only good thing about him is his finishing (despite that miss at Swindon) but the rest of his game is poor

Hopefully we can get him out on loan somewhere this month and he scores a couple. We might be able to get a few quid for him in the JTW. Try and get that daft lad Dalia or whatever he's called to buy him.

 

[Hamburg Blade]

Being serious though, what exactly is the weekly training routine for a SUFC player? For the wages, I would expect full time as far as hours worked is concerned. I would expect a mix of training pitch time with the team, gym time, play analysis from video footage and learning tactics from the coach. Anything else?
I always have the impression that they spend half the week tossing it off and the other half in light jogging around the training pitch, but I don't know where I get that image from. Anyone know the truth of their full time activities?

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Personally I think the adolescent pratts should be grounded, their twitter accounts closed, their iphones confiscated and their pocket money stopped until they get their chores done. Oh and no lollipops. Absolutely woeful United. You are an embaressment.

 

[bornablade]

Those players show no respect for Blades fans whatsoever.

Next home game as the GCB is played at kick off they'll be looking at each other, scoffing - 'listen to those stupid pillocks, as if that's gonna make us try any harder.'

Sooner we get rid of those at the club who don't feel the same as the rest of us the better.

I watched the last half of Match of the Day last night and the WBA v Leicester match was on. Leicester are clearly punching well above their weight and I noticed that as the final whistle went, Vardy and a couple off his teamates immediately fell to the ground absolutely exhausted. It does make you wonder if their league position and the energy expended might just be connected.

Obviously our lads would have been out clubbing, but I'm hoping Nigel watched it too

Leicester, Watford and Palace are well placed in the Premier League because like all other reasonable sized clubs they are having their turn in the spotlight.
It happens to ALL reasonable sized clubs at some point in time unless of course you happen to be Sheffield United.
Leicester, Watford and Palace have just decided to play their own game and see how far it takes them. They aren't worried, they aren't in awe of anybody and they don't waffle bullshit about how delighted they are just to be in the Premier League and give their players a free pass to be shit because nothings really expected of them.
In my lifetime Forest, Derby, Blackburn, Wendy, Wimbledon, QPR, Swansea, Middlesboro, Ipswich, Norwich, Southampton, Portsmouth, Bolton, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Sunderland, West Brom, Wolves, Brighton, Luton have all finished in the higher echelons of the top flight but this club will never do it because even if by some miracle they made it back to the Premier League they'd have their stall well and truly set out to escape relegation.............and that's it, that will be their only remit and the only ambition they'd have..............So they'd get relegated, if not the first season then the season after and once again have a fan base feeling let down because they never even tried to compete.

This is the worst thing of all and its something that fans of other clubs never feel. Things might get bad for other clubs but there's always that hope that things will get better again because it's happened before.
What hope do we have.................Some anti footballing 1980's throwback hoofball dinosaur might get us promoted back to the Premier League but even then it will still be shit.

Fantastic isn't it ?

We finished 9th in the top division in 91-92, so we have done it at least once in the lifetime of anyone 23 or over./

The depressing thing is that United have only finished in the top half of the top division 4 times in my lifetime (66-7, 71-2, 74-5 and 91-2) and I only have any memory of the last 2 times :-(

Who was the player(under weir) that pissed and moaned on twitter because he had to go on a preseason tour to Scotland and miss a lads summer holiday?

 

[BeatleBlade]

Probably accompanied by Done, sadly, as he seems distinctly unhappy at the moment, probably wishing he hadn't left a big club to join our failing outfit.

What makes you think that? His body language or are you ITK? Really hope not, he has been one of the better players at games I have been able to get to.

After a quick check, it's almost poetical justice that he gets to spend all year up there now.
In sunny Kilmarnock to be precise.
I say "spend" rather than "play" because it looks like he's only played ONCE!
If that isn't a warning to future prima-donnas then I don't know what is.

Surely a career headed for non league then.
