Have we upset the footballing Gods?

[BarcaBlade]

It's not the football Gods that are the problem, it's the cricket one we really upset when we turfed Yorkshire out in 1973.

I reckon Wilder has right royally upset them last season by buggering up the 13 year curse too, hence what's happening this season, they've even thrown in a worldwide pandemic they've been that f***ed off with United and CW.

The footballing Gods had gone on a lengthy holiday thinking their work pretty much done. Even when they picked up a 3-day old copy of the Daily Express from the Costa del tobacconist in summer 2019 and saw we had somehow turned up in the Premier league, assured by the 13-year curse and the views of such leading lights as Steve Nicol, they decided to extend their vacation for another season.

Upon subsequently overhearing a conversation in some bar in Albufeira about how well the Blades were doing, instant global pandemic was the chosen remedy. Gave them time to sort things out a bit. Since then, they have managed to patch it together so it's not so obvious and have concocted a perfect storm of the Blades being a bit unlucky, suffering some questionable recruitment, and a large dose of being complete dogshit.

Is Lundstram back for the next game?

The regular footballing gods must have been usurped for a few seasons. They are clearly back on their Sheffield United hating thrones again.
