Long story short.
Picked blades as bottom of league due to family supporting liverpool, man utd etc etc
Went through school being the only southern blade in existance.
Went to the lane for 18th and 21st and others since.
Put up with away trips to portsmouth and (fookin loved it) crawley most recently.
However
Lost my love for it all.
God bless u blades.
May i see you in a bettet light when my son wants a team to support.
Dont let him down.
 



They will.

It's goodbye from me too. I wish only good things for my friends who still believe, but my race is run .
 
cmon guys, we are bladesmen super bladesmen, we dont give up!!

you dont chose a footie team, it choses you. then it cheats on you, lets you down, dissapoints you and betrays you time and time again. BUT every now and again a lovely moment comes along, the full back who is too scared to move across the half way line does, he passes to the winger who hasnt beaten his man all season and he skins him then hits the perfect cross to the striker who couldnt score in a brothel with a packet of hundreds sticking out of his pocket who manages to connect with it like he never has before and never will again, the ball flies in. The cheers and adrenaline are overwhelming and youre so proud you stuck at it for the few moments when it comes right.

supporting a football team will never be easy, we should all support manure now if that is the case, but football is a game of possibility, really anything can happen in the playoffs now. we have as good a chance as any one else, its in our hands we've got to believe we can do it, otherwise let tranmere take our place now and lets give up and support Barcelona (or bayern!).

UTB
 
I'm the same. Sort of
Only southern blade at my school.
But I support them because my mum and dad(kingston Raw) are from Sheffield.
Then my first game was Sheffield vs Leeds aged 6.
I then asked my dad what was that team we saw and said that's my team then.
I try to go to every game near me. Go to a home game when I visit my grandparents.
 
We have been fairly rubbish for years. We've had the odd decent season but they are few and far between. So would I want my daughter to support anyone else? Don't be daft. We are Blades. The few successes are made all the sweeter for all the failures.

I'm still not going to Wembley mind.....
 
if we dont get the feckin cheque book out before next season, i can see the gates going down to 12,000 rapidly.

mccabe has always been useless, but this season hes really took the piss.
 
Sad isn't it, there will soon be 12000 rattling around the place and the owner will blame us. When in his latest moment of kadness he replaced a bloke who kept us hanging in there even after his best striker was sold, then replaced him with a bloke who has never managed a first team game in his life.

Fucking genius McCabe, you brainless cock stain.
 
Totally disenchanted with the Blades but I started to lose a fair bit of faith after we lost to Burnley in 09. I knew after that we were on a shitty slope to no where. Especially with McCabe still running the club and cutting costs left right and center. I knew we had to cut our cloth accordingly but now its at a point where we can't go forward at all without a new owner. Although who the hell wants to invest? no one wanted to when we were in the PL or the Championship when we were in our "Prime" so to speak.

3 Weeks ago some folk were pleased that 'bloke' had been sacked, having morgan in charge would mean passion, you know, that passion that cures everything

It cured us getting automatic promotion alright. It's about the most stupid thing he could have done yet he wanks his way through a q and a session without so much as a murmer of discontent.

We'd gone 9 hours without a goal in the run up to Wilson being sacked. Automatic promotion was a pipe dream at that point.

What McCabe should have done is swallowed his pride, and got on the blower to Neil, with the promise of a whacking great promotion bonus. If his family are chucking a million in to the club every month, what difference is an extra £100k for a bonus going to make?
 
I will never ever ever give up my Blades for a Saturday afternoon shopping with the wife. These comments are just funny and like listening to a group of women on a night out talking about how they are done with their man. He won't clean blah blah

I'm not going to quote how many semi's and finals we've had since '99 cus I'd miss count but it has been a great ride, long may it continue.

Spot on - let's not allow history to be rewritten as times passes. This season has drained the life out of so many fans. That's partly down to McCabe flogging anything with talent, and partly down to Wilson playing a brand of football that would finish the most loyal football fan off. We were going nowhere under Wilson.

So pray tell whats happened to the missing 10000? Fell into a ditch?

We had games in hand and were in a far better position than we were under Mr Motivator 3 games later. And I won't even begin to entertain your lunatic statement about getting a dinosaur to take us back to the dark ages.

Short term stupidity is why we are where we are now.

Dont let him down.

I'll summarise your post in a two easy lines:
Sob story about being the only blade in the village.
We're not doing well anymore so I'm giving up.

If you can't handle disappointment and frustration at your club do not become a football supporter. I get as pissed off as the next man but I won't stop supporting the lads. Ever. It's in my blood. A way of life.
I can understand people not going as often - football costs a lot of money and watching dross doesn't help. But to give up until we are in the premiership? You have zero empathy from me.

The dark ages of the championship? Who said anything about keeping him on anyway. He should have said "Neil, you're in til the end of the season, no longer. Get us up and here's a fat chunk of cash as a parting gift."
 
Yeah we dont want any of those namby pamby supporters who decide to call it a day. What we need is people who have enough time and money not to give a shit they are pudding it into a black hole with no return.

I havent given up and never will but I totally understand those who think fuck it they arent worth it.

Rubbishing other people's ideas is one thing - who would you go for? And at the risk of picking an old scab, suggesting Wilson was going to get us promoted is a measure of how much you've seen us play this season.

9 hours without a goal is "the dark ages" for most people.

I wouldn't have sacked him end of. It wasn't good but do you want to know why thats was? Because our idiot chairman kept selling the good players and replacing them with utter shit.

I'm a believer in giving a bloke a fair chance and not swapping either early in the season nor late.

Finally, if you are going to play bigger blades with me you are wasting your time. You can pick up everything you need without being there every game. I know it was shit, i didnt have to watch Yeovil, hartlepool or the rest but i also didn't see anyone who could do any better out there.

You can take my suggestion that you haven't see enough of us as a bigger blade competition if you like, I suggest it's just cold hard unemotional fact.

Another fact is no matter what resources Wilson had at his disposal, his brand of football is one that would have finished me off. Something that looking at results from afar can't describe.

If you can't see that a man who's done it 7X before had more chance of doing so than someone who's now failed at the twelfth time of asking, then you really have blinded yourself to reality.

OK I'll give you my world view for what it may be worth. Lets assume Warnock had been the replacement jsut for a minute. He comes through the gates to much fanfare from the masses. Do you think the results would have been different? Because I don't. Lets then assume Warnock was the manager next season, would it make one bit of difference as to what happened to us? I don't. And if he came in and failed (as his biggest critic) I wouldn't blame him). This club has gone way beyond what a manager can control.

When your chairman is hamstringing every opportunity you have then it doesn't matter if SAF himself said he was coming to the lane, you wouldn't see anything different because every time somoene shone, McCabe would have his drawers round his ankles to anyone who comes with any sort of offer.

That is why I think sacking Wilson was a mistake. The bloke isn't Manager of the Year lets be honest, he is purely an average bloke doing the best he can with a shit stick of a chairman pulling the rug from under him.

In my mind, Blackwell would have had us back in the Premiership had McCabe not sold everything we had mid season. And Blackwells a shit manager.

Something else you may choose to have a different opinion on but here goes. Football and footballers have changed recently. A kick up the arse makes little difference to most of them. Most know that if there are several bad results its the manager they want sacked and the players get another shot at it. Going in there and doing a Warnock (hairdryer etc) doesn't do it in 99% of cases any longer. Players know they get paid and mostly get paid handsomely. Even in League one we will have players on £8-£10K per week. Even if they are pulling a couple of grand its more than they are worth.

Warnock was of a time when ripping the arse out of players had a reaction. When players like Brown and the type responded is almost 10 years ago. Its changed. They stick their ipods on and may as well tell you to fuck off. Don't you see it in most (not all I'll grant you) of them when you go to the match?

Finally, I have witnessed us a few times this season and trust me everything you see and say about the team is as I feel, where we differ is I think Wilson had at least as good a chance of getting us promoted as anyone coming in with 5 games to go. And so it has proved. I don't think Wilson has had a run of 5 games all season as bad as the ones Morgan has just had (1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats from 3 home games and 2 away).

So we have changed for changes sake. You can have your hard facts but when I see for the umpteenth time "Forte missed wide right with a shot" on the BBC sport site I know how bad things are.
 



the 10000 we had for a season in the premier league?

And we couldn't do with them now? They are still fans although I know some on here have a view that you have to pass some criteria now to be a blade (shout gettintoem and gerritintbox a lot) but to me anyone paying to go through the gate right now has to be welcomed.
