Well-Known Member
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Mitre and I am the official spokesperson of the 5 Football Gods who comprise of myself, Subbuteo, Gola, Scudamore and Dubbin. May I apologise first of all for the delay in responding to you all, following the end of your season at Yeovil on 6 May.
We recognise that many supporters of Sheffield United loathe the Football Gods with a passion, particularly in view of our antics in recent years. Indeed, the message we received from Blackheath Blade and a few more of you a couple of months ago made us all realise that yes, we had been especially harsh on the fans of such a fine old club.
As such, we held a meeting to decide your fate and by a majority vote of four to one (Scudamore voted against but admittedly, he is a cunt) we decided to take no action against The Blades this season. Instead, we chose to dish out some ill-will and bad luck on the teams surrounding you, in the hope that Danny Wilson could lead you to automatic promotion.
We took steps to ensure that the teams around you dropped vital points, in the hope that The Blades could take full advantage. The Gods sat back and waited for your promotion challenge to gather momentum. Although we were concerned at your home form, we made sure that you picked up some good away wins which kept you in the hunt, while casting a spell on the likes of Tranmere, MK, Stevenage and even Brentford, so that they all slipped up along the way. (btw, don't blame us for the away game at Stevenage as we were all on a stag do that day).
What happened? What the fuck happened guys?
Danny seemed to lose the plot and made sure that his team never got out of their own half during home games. Somewhat confusingly, he seemed to have hit on a decent formula by bringing Porter back into the team and when the young lad McFadzean played well,he was dropped for the next game. Even more mysteriously, he continued to play that Doyle fella in midfield which we all thought was odd and had us all shaking our heads in disbelief.
When Wilson got the sack with five games to go, I honestly thought Scudamore had broken our vow but he was adamant this was your Chairman's work because Mr McCabe didn't want a rough ride at a Fans Forum.
Although Mr Morgan provided a glimmer of hope for the last few games, we stood back and watched in sorrow as your challenge petered out. For Christ's sake, we even helped Sheffield Wednesday avoid relegation in the hope you'd be playing them in the Championship next season.
We are truly sorry for our past misdemenours and we will really try to give you all a decent rub of the green next season, as we believe that The Blades are due for some good luck and success very soon.
Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to explain the thoughts of the Football Gods. I'm now due to meet with the other Gods to have a say on your new Manager, I just hope that Scudamore has got me the file of Gary Megson. . . . . . .
