Allus thought their club motto meant "delusion and cope"!

Big mistake in signing Finnieston and then selling Edwards.

I completely agree, and I know I post some completely random crap on here but it doesn't say anywhere that it has to be Blades or football related so I hope no one is offended by my meanderings into craziness on occasion...

Thought Finnieston was a great signing but for the career ending injury.

He already had injury problems before signing for us.

Not stopped us signing hundreds of similar players since then

Like the bit about the Pigs inundating the ticket office for season tickets. Well must have sold millions cos they managed to average 10000.

Fake news!

They averaged over 100k as soon as Charlton came along and went on to dominate the First Division in the 80s, under Wilkinson, regularly getting crowds of over 500,000.

There is no truth in Wilkinson's statement, as he left them in D1, to join Dirty Leeds in D2, that he wanted to 'better himself'.

That must have been the 1977 season. I remember the pre-season friendly they had against Frickley Colliery when 1'283'000 were admitted into the stadium, still the most MASSIVE crowd ever in the whole wide world for a pre-season game. I understand there were over 9 million trying to get tickets as well as I lived in Shiregreen at the time, about 5 miles from the Sty and they were queueing past my house on Oaks Fold Road, all the way down past the Penguin, along Wooley Wood bottom and just past Blackburn Meadows sewage farm. Apparently, some of the disgruntled supporters built Meadowhall while they were queuing but I can't find verification for that.

Anyway, as we know they won the European Cup that season, and the Premier League (even though it didn't exist), the World Cup and the reserves won the Central League. I think they beat us 27 - 0 in the County Cup as well, cunts!

Pictured below is 'Big' Jack with Mel (Meldus) Steelhead and whose nickname was Zonko, after the Russian clown, famous for his big red nose, curly hair and an IQ in single digits.

What a time to be alive, what a time to be a Pig. No wonder we're always in their shadow

My old school, Fifth Park, Brushes building. I loved that place, lovely wooden staircases, hidden passageways, and a proper old stately home sort of place. Then that bastard Godzilla came along...

I can still smell this building, Mr Lynn, taking English in the tower in Autumn, reading ghost stories, legendary! Then it mysterious;y got burnt to the ground……

Glad we've learned from that then
