Sad for the 'True Blades'

[lenners]

Looks like you're going to get mugged big style.
A truly shameful state of affairs for what should be a proud club to be in.
Kevin McCabe, how you could say nothing today is something that everyone connected to United will never forget.
You let United down, you let yourself down.

 

[Stafford Blade]

and match day prices will be going up............... could be bigger crowds at some chesterfield games than our games next year. What a pathetic shower of shite the club has become

 

[gavtheblade]

it`l all come out in`t wesh.
dont worry,christ.

Agreed. I think we got from him exactly what we all expected today - precisely nothing. Money doesn't buy you class and I think Kevin McCabe is a true testament to that fact.

Why so sad? The team, especially in the last few games have given everything. The atmosphere, despite the best efforts of people like yourself has been great and results and performances have improved. With the crop of young players coming through next season is looking promising. True Blades ARE at the Lane.

 

[Oreyt]

Len WANTS to be sad. He wants EVERYONE to be sad with him. Don't engage, it only encourages him.

The club is currently a disgrace to the city, to its own history and to its supporters.
The supporters that are left are likely to get fully done over this summer.
It's an utter shambles and the bloke that owns our club says not one single word.
Feel free to mug yourself Rattly but at some point you're going to realise you're part of the problem.

I am treating this as a wind-up post. "The team...have given everything...the atmosphere has been great and results have improved...next season is looking promising". I think 'True Blades' actually care and don't spout this kind of trite nonsense.

 

[Rattly Noise]

I care about having a good time and enjoying myself. Not being a miserable bugger who only supports the club to fulfil their masochistic needs or something. Football might be more important than life and death, but i'm still going to enjoy it or what's the point?

 

[Vancouver]

I'm wondering what the original poster knows about 'True Blades'? I would suggest someone who deserves such a tag is one who actually supports the team rather than use every opportunity to criticise them.

I support the club and always will.
I do not support people who have shamefully failed to manage our club properly and have hidden from their failures and continue to do so.
Those who continue to remain wilfully blind to what has happened and what will happen unfortunately deserve all they're going to get.

Well if you have 'enjoyed' the demise of this club over the last three years Rattly I honestly think it's you who is into the masochism.

how can any fans be part of the problem len?we are the most loyal set in the world!

 

[lenners]

By no means all the fans.
But the remaining few who continually defend the indefensible are colluding with the disgraceful mismanagement of a club that has been a big part of countless thousands of lives for more than 100 years.
This club deserves far, far better than fans running idiotic polls on how much we can sell our young players for and fans mindlessly supporting the drivel being spouted in a statement in the names of a few faceless underlings pathetically sopped out after the match.
Until we regain the heart and soul of our club from the people who've sold it, we've no chance.

The problem is you seem to take too much pleasure in things going wrong with the club. If you pulled back on this a bit you might not get such a critical response from people. Unless of course that's your aim.

I think the problem is that it appears it's the only pleasure he takes from the club.

If you think the problem is anything related to me, you're a wee bit deluded.
Criticism from people who are blind to the reality means absolutely nothing in any sphere of life.

 

[gavtheblade]

lenners,we can harp on about this mismanagement of our club,but until a rich foreigner comes in wake of our call there is nothing at all we can do about it-and now we are in the 3rd division,i find it hard that we will achieve that.However,its crucial next season that behind doors we keep a low profile-big earners gone-youth-tied down with contracts that will be keep them here for the foreseeable future.
Mcabe wont go,you know that,i know that-it`d take a bomb to get rid of the bloke.

Read my post again Len, that's not remotely what I said but I don't think you'd pay any attention even if I spelled it out.

I do admire your optimism RN but I do wonder; how many of the young'uns will be with us for the start of next season. BTW True Blades are spread across the planet.:hello:

And if/ when he cuts his losses and sells, will we really be any better off? Anyone coming in with a chunk of gelt will not want McCabe around, to stand side by side with him solely for the good of OUR Blades. Investors have their own agendas. What they may be, who knows? Looking around the Pemier League, unless I am mistaken, the top four clubs are in foreign ownership. Why is this, and what do the owners want? Place your bets everyone, who can come up with the right answer?

Are you a Jehovah's Witness... because this is precisely the sort of doom and gloom stuff I'm used to getting from them.

Compare "Join us in our fun-free lives just so we can be one of the anointed few when Armageddon comes round... you can't say I didn't warn you" to "Join me in being bloody miserable and not having a season ticket next season because you're going to get mugged - you can't say I didn't warn you."

The JWs might be right. You might be right Len. But seriously, is that any way to live your life?

I quite enjoy the experience of going to matches. Having a laugh with my mates. Hopefully watching United win. And no amount of miserablist postings from you Leonard is going to change that!

 

[lenners]

Seriously Linz, I'm quite happy living my life being honest about SUFC, not accepting the bullshit, pointing out the failures and hypocrisy, advising other fans when they're either wrong or allowing themselves to be taken for a ride.
None of the above stops me enjoying going to a game, wanting them to win and enjoying a beer or two afterwards.
The two are quite separate and quite easy to understand.
Being a supporter never did and never will mean conning yourself about the reality.
And if you really thought about it, who is actually closer to adopting a Jehovah's Witness approach to being a Blade?

 

[shorehamview]

It's still more sackcloth and ashes then.

We know United are shit. We know United are run about as well as the average banana republic.

We just don't take the same perverse delight in telling all and sundry just how correct we are all the time.

Why not go out and get a little sunshine on your face lenners? Rather than telling us all how correct you are all the time.

It's nothing new. Take a day off. Have some jelly babies, or a lollipop with a joke on the stick. Zooms are nice. Look at some lambs in the country, or go for a walk in the park. Smile. Try it, you might just like it.

umm well we've been relegated for starters? hello?

Why not go the whole hog Shoreham and throw a relegation party, just don't invite the many thousands who are genuinally feeling gutted to the pit of their stomachs this morning, and who know that the words of Len are not only spot on but wholely justified.

Shoreham,
The perversity comes from those fans who refuse to see the reality, not moi.
And sadly, those fans who bought season tickets are now likely to get royally done over. It'll be worth remembering what that marketing campaign involved in the weeks to come.
I'll have a few more pennies to buy my jelly babies and spend on petrol going to look at the lambs.

The words of len are repeated more often than Top Gear on Dave, and about as well edited.

You think I'm happy we've been relegated?

Well, here's news for you. I'm not. I just refuse to let it get to me. I am wholeheartedly fucked off with what's happened to this football club. I do however resist the impulse to tell everyone how I and I alone predicted the downfall. Unlike some, as sure Clarkson and his mates will be on every day until the end of time, with the same programme five times a day.

You can either get over it and get on with life, acknowledging that there are other things in the world other than Sheffield United, or you can get carried away with the sound of your own voice, endlessly typing "I told you so" over and over again.

We know we are shit. We know the club has been badly run. The world is not about to end.

Lollipops are still on sale. So is beer.

Just because Sheffield United have been driven into the third tier through incompetent leadership doesn't mean you have to give up on life. Perhaps relegation could be the spur to enjoy the summer - showing that Blades can be optimistic about life after relegation, and there is more to life than endless repeats?

I'll have a few more pennies to buy my jelly babies and spend on petrol going to look at the lambs.

So no season ticket then? Well, enjoy your sweeties. Really. The lambs in Hathersage are particularly cute, and will no doubt be very tasty in a year or so.

Please don't patronise those of us who choose to buy season tickets though. It's our money, after all.

 

[lenners]

Shoreham,
Your words would hold more water if you hadn't at the time been so keen to pour scorn on what was being said.
Ironic who ends up looking the emptiest vessel and with virtually nothing to say.
Here, have a jelly baby.

I'm not sure who the mindless ones are, I can't think of any poster on here who falls into that category, whatever their view of any aspect of the club. I suspect you mean the ones who take issue with anything you say.

Evil prevails when good men stand by and do nothing. You're probably a good man len, you've definitely stood by and let all this happen, refusing every chance to get involved and sort things out. Saying the same thing every day on here changed nothing.

So now, "we" need to regain the heart and soul of the club you support "and always will" . What's the plan, how are "we" going to do that? I am, as always, clueless, I need your leadership.

Thanks in advance for your constructive guidance.
