My Laser is Like My Wife

[ucandomagic]

A lot of years ago a friend of mine in Norway turned on a laser measurement system in a lab in Bergen and nothing worked. He looked at me and said “My laser is like my wife. I go to sleep at night and everything is fine, I wake up in the morning and everything is wrong!”

CW must think the same about
our team - and I guess that’s where the magic dust matters. Harry Kane/Keith Edwards - not inspred, gifted players but, see the ball and the goal, and the one always headed towards the other. Norman Hunter/Trevor Hockey see the ball and the man and only one ever went past.

We have a team where each player has his day yet few, if any, have every day.

Sprinkle some more magic dust Chris. Magne said, “I just switch her off, tell her I love her, and turn her back on again. Same with my wife.”

The season starts for real on Saturday. Just tell them you love them and turn them back on Tufty. This really can be our year.

Up The Magic Blades
(I love this Scotch!)

I know that only us old cynics are online at this time on a Friday night - but don’t you always feel that this moment, before a new season, is like looking at your new-born son with the potential to achieve anything, and just dreaming?

Old cynics don't have dreams like that, even after a few drinks! Avoiding relegation is the height of an old cynic's dream.

Eeh lad! You must absolutely love this club to pieces to draw comparisons with something as special as that?

I must admit, I definitely don't look at our club and marvel at our potential to achieve anything. I may look at it and hope desperately that we can sneak a promotion back to the Prem. But I'm also a realist. We are "pond-feed" in the grand scheme of things compared to many smaller and less historic clubs who are actually light years ahead of us, and arguably shouldn't be.

Things have been managed badly almost throughout the entire 50 years I've supported United. Our club, once described as "a powerhouse of football", has punched below its weight for most of that time and there's been a major change in the game, with the advent of big TV money, that we've failed to capitalise on - and consequently we are so far behind now that it may never be possible to actually catch up again. I'm not talking about "promotion" by itself. That could, and hopefully will, happen. But there are teams above us now who have had years of raking in big money in the Prem. Take West Brom as an example. They're up and down like a yo-yo between the top 2 divisions - but that doesn't matter, the fact they keep popping back up in the Prem and raking in the big bucks puts them on a different rung of the ladder to us when it comes to finances and long term security.

Even lickle old Bournemouth - a 3rd division ramshackle outfit for donkey's years - can blow us out of the water when it comes to having the readies to take our best players from us. That was simply unthinkable a few years ago. In fact, you'd probably have been taken off to a lunatic asylum if you'd held such a view.

So, the only thing I dream about when I look at my wayward child, Sheffield United, is that the mistakes of the past few years have been learned and that he's going to buckle down now and get his arse up to that Premiership as soon as possible. Because the longer we stay away from the top table, the harder it will be to ever get there and stay there.

Yes, Yes, Kev always learns from his mistakes ........

Unfortunately he always finds a new way to fuck it up ............
