Nobody could ever remove a ball from Joe Shaw.

Silent Blade do you have an encyclopedic knowledge, or a huge Blades reference library?

Ive read you went to the library for years to study the Blades (is that right?) so did it all go in?

Fulham 3 Blades 1 just after JFK got shot in November 1963 (notice the black armbands). This loss knocked us from the top spot in the league.

I think you're alluding to Ian Ure, Arsenal and Scotland, but can't say it's him for certain.

Bert is alluding to him, but on further inspection it's probably not him.

You can't jump to conclusions like that HighfieldBlade! Let's get VAR to have a proper look at it! We can go for a piss and a pie while it's being reviewed.

(Nice one of Ian Mackenzie btw - I'd forgotten about him).

Ah Captain Pugwash and his friends Roger the Cabin Boy and Seaman Stains. No way you would get away with that now.
