middle of nowhere

[ourbob]

A few blades will be sat in bars around the world watching the mighty blades this weekend,we've all had the experiences of bumping into blades in the middle of nowhere.

Anyone got any good stories?

I thought this was a thread about our season thus far and our prospects of where we will end up in terms of league position

I will be watching it at my house in Munich via the little internet box connect to my TV, it is hardly middle of nowhere but wife and a few beers for company.

Palma airport 6am on the morning of the playoff final v Burnley, queuing up for a Ryanair flight to Gatwick me and another fellow holidaymaker Blade & his daughter, flying back to watch yet another play off disaster.

Came back on the same flight later that evening, no words exchanged, the looks said it all.

Didn't bump into a "blade" as such, but when I went to New York last Christmas, we took a cab from JFK to Manhattan. The driver was asking where I was from and I said Sheffield and he said, "oh like Sheffield United". He must have been a football fan and had seen a game or two of us. So glad he didn't say Sheffield *********.

Went to Varadero in Cuba years ago. Probably 2006. Got talking to some guy holidaying with his wife who was a blade. Came home and the next game, he's sat on the next table to me in Farm Road Club. He has sat on the next table to me in Farm Road club ever since*. Never noticed him before the holiday but always give a respectful nod in his direction each time i see him.

*Until this season, as we don't go in there anymore

Dubai this year ,stayed in a very exclusive hotel ,only about 50 people around the pool area ,mainly Russians ,Germans and Andrew Castle with wife. I got out of the pool and heard 'all Blades aren't we ?' I looked round and thought this guy was taking the piss out my Blade tattoo. Turns out he was a big blade, long term season ticket holder and we had 3 mutual blade friends on Facebook. He was leaving the next day so just had the one drink with him but stayed in touch since.

Cesars palace Las Vegas, stood on a roulette table with my blades shorts on. Kid on holiday with his missis comes running over just to say 'all blades aren't we' shook my hand then ran back to his missis!

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Bar in Larnaca, play-offs v Uddersfilled. No Blade in sight. Table of Uddersfilled supporters next to mine. Awful.

I couldn`t believe it when I bumped into a Blade in the Australian bush.
Imagine the hilarity when I realised it was my brother, who I was backpacking with.

We still laugh about to this very day.

Cesars, Sheffield, stood on a table with my blades shorts on. Kid in with his mates comes running over just to say 'all blades aren't we' shook my hand then ran back to his mates!

Don't lie...

I was approached in an Orlando theme park on the date of an away fixture vs Man City. Not by a Blade but by a 3 foot tall City fan who kindly informed me of the result by squealing 6-0 6-0 6-0 6-0 6-0 in my face while jumping up and down, arms aloft, laughing.

I had a much darker view of the world for many years afterwards.

You should have kicked him in his tiny bollocks, taught him a life long value to accept victory with dignity.

I was in a hotel in Jamaica looking at the internet in the lobby (in about 2007), when this big Jamaican security guard walks past and says "Luton Shelton man". I said yeah he plays for my team Sheffield United, he replies "yeah I'm a Blade man".........and then took all my money at knife point (I'm joking on the last bit).

I was at a water park in Madrid and had just opened the paper to see the score. As I was digesting it a couple of lads loomed large and asked if they could have a look too. Guess who they supported.........


I then passed the paper to Victoria Beckham, President Clinton and Michael Schumacher who were at the next table, but I dont like to talk about it.....

[cjx blade]

Was working in the internation space station when the astranout next to me said in a thick east european accent "peter katchouro - we all blades arn't we" on spotting my blades tattoo.
Still keep in touch to this day.

I was minding my own business having a drink in a busy bar, when suddenly there’s a big flash of light and a dude sat a couple of stools down from is on the deck with his left arm missing. There’s an old dude stood over him, and I asked him what the problem was and he goes “Pig fan”. I said “Put it there mate” and asked him his name.




“Ben Kenobi”

Bumped into McCabe in a bar in NYC a few years ago, when the Blades were on TV in the PL. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that club directors and owners might be able to access an internal live feed these days? I know it exists for TV highlights purposes, and can presumably be broadcast on a secret link.

[BeatleBlade]

Holiday in France just over ten years ago when I was 10. Another family were at the same place and at the pool they all had Blade's towels, shirts and everything. There was a football tournament later on at the campsite and I managed to nutmeg the guy which my dad was pleased with as he thought he was a bit of a show off and he kept going on about his kids being in the academy. We won the tournament and it was the highlight of my footballing career. It has been downhill ever since!
