Since we last won in the Championship...

[TomHeffernan]

Moved house then left wife cos she was mental and thought she was going to be the next Dalai Lama. Had to learn a new trade as didn't want to be a porn star anymore, moved back to Sheffield then moved back to Leeds. Had mental health problems, got put on beta blockers but put 3 stone on cos of them. Learned to meditate, come off beta blockers. Feeling great now.

Smashed tinder to bits.

All the above is a true story believe it or not. Well you did ask!

 

[Isar]

Mum had a stroke and now disabled
Dad had a stroke and died
Father-in-Law died
Step son did a runner after nicking 10 grand from me
On the positive side, one day back in 2014, after a brief stop at the motorway services, I was back driving down the motorway when I realized I was drinking a large McDonalds's latte when I'd only paid for a medium.
Onwards and upwards

Hope you got your money back from the thieving git

 

[TJB.]

Sadly TJB, the only bit that's not true is the f******g coffee!!

Not sure what's worse; all that or the football we've had to endure!

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Sums it up really I'm in Leeds

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Since April 2011?

Negotiated a contract with with a former employer who accused me of making demands like I was a Premier League footballer.

Well if you come chasing me because I was enormously successful before and I was earning good money at time you came after my services then WTF do you expect?

Had 2 knee ops, been to some great away grounds largely dominated by Blades and imbibed some fabulous beer in some great pubs.

Discovered a great band - Where Fires Are - plug plug

Done some folk singing for charity

Oh yes and retired

You've just got to remain positive whatever life chucks your way, if you think you can't do something, you probably won't do it , it f you think you can you probably will.

[northsomersetblade]

I've had a great deal of experience of life and grown wiser by the day. I've tried hard and long to explain simple concepts in plain language to a reluctant audience, sadly damaged by years of misguided falsehoods.

It's a thankless labour but, like Hercules, I'll get there in the end.

Watch out for blood stained shirts

 

[stringjunior]

Lost a business
Went Bankrupt
Donated a kidney.
Got dicked at McDonalds when I ordered a medium coffee and got a small

Oh, the football mate, by some way!!

 

[John Street West Terrace]

I'd settle for the result of our first game of the season the last time we came up out of the third tier

West Brom. 0-3 Sheff Utd

Strange how a newly promoted team of bargain bucket no hopers , cheap buys and lack of household names most with no experience at that level kinda did ok that season ?

Got married, had two daughters and spent a lot of time pissed off at various men called Nigel.

Retired
Bought my first ST since 1976

Downsized so son could buy a house

Made a bomb selling leftover coffee at McDonalds and pocketing the cash.
Pretended to be a psychiatrist in Leeds and gave out chocolate beta blockers.
Nicked 10 grand off some young bloke who hitched a lift.

But tomorrow The Magic is Back

Glad all is well mate but, how's the wife?

 

[Liverpool blade]

My dad died in July 2014. and then my father in law died 8 months later!!. I've been diagnosed with dystonic tremors and will be having an op on my brain to try and control them!. Operation due in Dec/Jan. So will have to miss a few games!!!. Not too many I hope though!. Here's to a cracking season. Bring it on!.

 

[Geordie Blade]

...what's gone off in your life?

Our last victory in the second tier of English football, a 3-2 away win at Reading, came on 25th April 2011. I clocked that date and it really hit me how fucking long ago that was and how much has happened since then.

Since then I've come out of university, my dad and mum have both married different partners, I've been in and out of a 4 1/2 year relationship, one of my best pals has had two kids and gotten married, and I've put about 3 stone on (give or take)

Be interested to hear what events, good or bad, have occurred for other posters in the same time frame?

I also thought one last shitpost before we get down to business was a nice way to say goodbye to pre-season

UTB!

Since we last won in the Championship, people in the United Kingdom have stopped using "got" and started to favour "gotten". I am not sure why.

Ditched all my mates who use wank Americanisms

Seen lots of third division shit football.

Found S2 4SU, the words 'blessing' and 'mixed' spring to mind

Went to Indonesia but everyone seemed to be wanking

Went to MaceeDees and managed to avoid the 'Coffee size wars'

Now have less hair, a larger (but paid for) gut, and am no wiser.

Looking forward to another season - will I ever learn?

 

[Snowman]

So far I woke up every day. I hope that continues tomorrow.
