Favourite Blades Song......

[Hampshire Blade]

One of my favourite songs was a few years ago coming out of the Southampton ground and every fan was singing.
Ess You Eff cee Kevin Blackwells barmy army
Ess you eff cee Kevin Blackwells barmy army
It sounded deafening and awesome.
Crystal palace a couple of years ago, we got off the train to a wall of sound that was oh when the Blades, oh when the blades, a great rendition and the best I have ever heard it done. The Blades fans had taken over the town centre that day, all the pubs and supermarkets in the town centre ran out of beer. Warnock was the Palace boss that day. Best away game ever.

I remember coming out of Thornton Heath station and seeing and hearing a sea of red and white at the pub opposite, caught me by surprise but the best feeling

 

[Kenilworth]

The Jack Charlton song makes more sense if you imagine a Utopian future.

United have survived. Wednesday have gone under. Hillsborough has been demolished. The pig fans have therefore left town and every year is United's year (1889).

Keep tekkin them tablets, Southers

 

[Sothall_Blade]

Keep tekkin them tablets, Southers

It nearly came true a few years ago before Mandaric stepped in

 

[metty]

To the tune of Land of Hope and Glory:

We've got Hope and Currie,
Gil Reece on the wing,
Dearden in the centre
And Woodward is our King

Higher still and higher
Will our goals be set
Harris who made us mighty
Make us mightier yet.

I remember that song being published in a programme as being the winner in a competition. Shalalalafenoughty

One of my faves from a few years ago, sung at Watford on the last day of the season, when the pigs had been relegated to the then old Div 2
(and we'd reached the playoffs) was .......
Oh W..................y what yer gonna do
You're going down to Division two
You can take your trumpet, take your drum
Cos you're gonna play with the Barnsley scum

Bonus alternative verse:

Chris Turner, what yer gonna do?
You're going down to Division Two
You won't win a Cup and you won't win a Shield
And your next derby will be Chesterfield

 

[Jonboy60]

And another from my formative years...

aye aye aye aye,
Hodgy is better than yashin.
Curry is better than Eusebio,
and Wednesday are in for a thrashing.

Thought it was John Tudor is better than Eusebio. Not that it matters.

Loved that one, sadly life came full circle and we're playing the Barnsley scum!

Apologies if it's already been mentioned but in the 50's we all sang just the one song "Ilkley Moor bar T'at"

Big game after big game we sang that and it was ahead of it's time, other supporters didn't sing anything.

Norwich were the first team to bring their song to Bramall Lane that I recall - "On the ball City never mind the danger......."

Wednesday never had a song that I remember in those days. On the other hand they were the far more enthusiastic crowd and much easier satisfied than our discerning crowd. Whenever Wednesday went over the half way line there was a roar.

Forgive me if I'm just wrong, but didn't we used to come out to that..I started going mid seventies..UTB

 

[Rodley]

Completely agree. 'Everywhere we go' is such a shit, generic song and I for one will never be caught singing it.

I'd say it's worse than "We're Sheff United, we'll do what we want".

I cringe every time I hear both!

Agreed. Both are terrible.

 

[billyblademan]

Dont take me home, please dont take me home, just dont want to go to bed (or work), I want to stay here and drink all yer beer, Please dont, please dont, take me home

I thought it were the same, but instead of 'I just don't want to go to bed/work', it were 'I just don't want to go away'.

Anyhow, has been sung in the shower since the Orient game. Didn't go to the playoffs, do you know whether it caught on? I quite liked it actually, a catchy number

Sheffield Wednesdays fucked it up again.
There's only one Danny Wilson, he used to be shite but now he's alright always made me smile.
And there was another when Wilson was in charge of the dark side but can't remember it all,
There's a circus in the town, in the town,
Danny Wilson is the clown
??? anyone remember how it ended?

I remember an older version of the circus song where

Jackie Charlton is the clown
With Rodger Wylde and Tommy Tynan too
They're the monkeys in the zoo, zoo, zoo

 

[Eskimo]

You're going home in a Sheffield ambulance.

Joe mercer said to the bill shankly
H ave you heard of puff Joicey ( wed centre forward )
Joe said no and I don't think so
But but I've heard of the S U. F C

 

[bertieblade]

Blades supreme

 

[bertieblade]

Not that would advocate him coming back but

Billy sharp is Magic
He wears a magic hat
And when he knew we wanted him
he said I'm coming back
He could have gone to Norwich
Or Wednesday but their SHITE
But he came to sheff Utd
Cos their fuckin dynamite


Apologies for the expletive

You're correct.. I'm pretty certain it was in the programme for the Watford match on the last day of the promotion winning 1970-71 season. I also think that a band played the song before the match and the fans were invited to sing along. A classier idea than playing a recording of the GCB or Tom Hark.

He plays on the left
He plays on the right
Kevin McDonald makes Xavi look shite!

Jack Charlton is dead, and the city is red

yeah - that works.

always hated that song btw
"and the year is 1889" is the lyric that most sing and it doesn't make sense.
There's often pig fans in town, they haven't fled - Hillsborough is still there, albeit a shit hole - the song just makes no sense whatsoever. It's stupid
If the year was 1889 Jack Charlton couldn't have been dead as he hadn't been born - OK Hillsborough wasn't the home ground of the pigs until 1899 so the only grain of truth in it was that there would be no Hillsborough to sadden anybody's eyes. Now people are stating the lyrics are "every year is 1889" Doesn't anybody work on logic any more?

I actually like the continuous round of Sheffield United, repeated when one group does it followed by the other.
Although it normally coincides with no actual action going on - at least from our perspective.
I remember losing 4-0 away at Grimsby (well in Cleethorpes) last game of the season when we sung that for about 80 mins of the 90.
We'd all past caring by that stage - pigs had got promoted and we couldn't give a flying fuck
That match was also noteworthy for the fact that I got the badge off John McPhail's shirt - nearly had the whole shirt but in the scrum it got wrenched from my grasp and the badge was all I could salvage.
Put it in a square, brushed aluminium frame (round window) so it frames it perfectly - Ken Junior inherited it as soon as he could say "Blades"
The match was also said to be the game where Reg Brearley decided to invest in the club - because of us lot at Grimsby.

Anyway - Shoreham Boys is another good one - although I have to admit that, whilst I have partaken of several ales in many reaches of England's football league, I have never just turned up and began shagging any of the local women.
I'm far too refined for that.

Too refined ?
What ?
You take a comely Sheffield maiden along with you ?

He's fat, he's round,
He wanks with his trousers down Shipperley, Shipperley. Repeat to fade.

Dem pig fans have an unhealthy degree of optimism , bordering on fantasy.
Us Blades have an unhealthy degree of realism , bordering on scepticism.

Pig fans are strange beasts - no amount of reasoning can dismantle their world.

In contrast , if we could just nudge that positivity lever slightly upward , we'd be the most well-adjusted fans in the country and certainly the wittiest & most inventive.

Sung in response to Liverpool's
"Champions of Europe , you'll never sing that"

"Champions of League One , you'll never sing that"

Conceived & performed on the hoof.

Aint got a barrel of money, we've got Woodward and Currie with Eddie Colquhun
Promotion is soon United, all together now. Always brings a smile to my face and memories of singing it
In 1970, when we had the privilege of watching that Legendary Team.
