Happy May 5th day

[Pollingtonblade]

To Blades everywhere

 

[Weasel]

Great minds think alike. I woke up this morning, realised the date and instantly thought about that beautiful day 27 years ago. I also thought about that headline on the green un. A classic day and still my best day ever supporting Utd (though this season has been totally wonderful too).

Happy 'Saint Bassett' day to all.

 

[cahill]

Blimey, didn't realise it was today.

 

[Blade56]

Always remember it as the day after Star Wars Day

Maybe we should have another yellow and red combo away kit for this return to the division?

Can you just imagine the Stir headline now if that happened again;

"Lucky Blades......Owls cheated"

Two great days, Leicester and Northampton away. Great memories.

I know this is a light-hearted comment, but the Star has been a Blades love-fest for the last 2 weeks. There is still a lot of positive stuff in today's paper. Presumably with the other lot in the play-offs, the focus will shift, but they have given us a good run for our money recently.

I remember singing...
"He's fat, he's brown, he's taking Wednesday down, Atkinson, Atkinson"

which inevitably turned to...
"He's fat, he's brown, he took the Wednesday down, Atkinson, Atkinson"

I got off with the most beautiful girl I've ever seen on 5th May 2001. Been downhill ever since.

As people were so incensed by the Star's 'Sports Retro' section on the 1993 semi-final...

That's OK then.....a Pro Blades Stir for 2 weeks a year....wtf am I moaning at!

Wasn't it "he's fat, he's round he's taking Wednesday down, Atkinson, Atkinson?!

Not he's brown!?

Not he's brown!?

I've heard both versions. I think the brown was reference to his perma-tan.

ah, fair play of course! I always remember singing he's round but he did always have the permanent tan like Phil Brown!
