Ten years ago today...

[maxtheblade]

2-1 home defeat against Wigan relegated us from the Premier League.

Not much happened since!

 

[coaxingstar71]

10 years.... frightening!

Remember it well, I was working and a Man U fan said "nothing to worry about, that team will still beat West Ham."

 

[Blade for Sale]

I was meeting the priest who would preside over my nuptials. Made him say a prayer for us. My journey to atheism was complete.

 

[Gavlar]

Remember it well. A sad day indeed. Never liked Manure before or since..................

How Webber missed I still don't know

We lost 6-1 at Forest on my first wedding day (1976). I knew it was a bad omen. Next time (1996) I made sure by getting married in Australia in the middle of June.

 

[Baaaaaaa Blades]

Horrible day and must admit didn't feel confident at all all morning,
something just felt wrong !
, end of season last day was always bright and sunny but that day raining all day , oh the omen !

But what a next ten years we could have now with CW and AK !

Did we lose 5-1 then?

 

[cahill]

I had to work that day. Remember sitting on front of a computer in my office in a semi fugue denial state.
I've never forgotten Liverpool fielding a team of reserves v Fulham or Champions Man Utd losing at home to Wham despite "Fergies" words

 

[cahill]

If it's the match I'm thinking of it was 6-1

 

[Kenilworth]

If it's the match I'm thinking of it was 6-1

Whoosh!

Colins fault. Jags at full back? Previous game away at Villa was abysmal but Colin didn't seem worried. After all, Wet Spam would have to win at Manure and us lose at home to Wanky Wigan. Now that could never happen..........

 

[South Bucks]

Never thought we'd go down that day until it became apparent manure had spinlessly decided not to try. My lasting memory that day was sitting on the kop at full time with loads of season tickets whistling pass my head towards the pitch accompanied by not so polite advice for Neil.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Nah it was Phil Jagielka who relegated us remember? All part of a Machiavellian plot to engineer a move to Everton.

According to a few silly tinfoil hat wearing cunts that is....

 

[Treeton Blade]

And it carried on the tradition of us getting relegated every 13 years since 1968.

1981, 1994, 2007.....2020??

I didn't get a clear view of Jags handball that day due to the guy in front of me wearing one of those

Yeah but 2011 ruined the sequence. Which means that 2024 will now be the 'quivering ringpiece' season.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Dem Blades...

Hope I`m around to find out

 

[Norderner]

Warnock should have been sacked as soon as we got promoted to the premier league. Dinosaur manager and a conniving charlatan to boot.

 

[cahill]

Whoosh!

The magic dragon lived by the sea

 

[DaveBassettsgoneonholiday]

Sat in a bar in Tallin watching on telly no other Blades with me...other 5 tellys all had Man U West Ham match on ....being watched by another stag do of about 20 Hammers fans.....not a good day.

 

[Billyblade]

One of the worst days of my life.
For family reasons and then the football just fuckin capped it off

 

[1066blade]

This above.

Fuckin tragic.

Brought my son for the first time to Sheffield that season ,
Chelsea at home , I'd already been to see us beat Middlesboro as I had to buy tickets for 2 games don't ask me why .
Anyroads he went as a schevchenko loving Chelsea fan but left as a fully ( and still is ) now I know what you mean dad Blade ,
if we hadn't missed that penalty against Chelsea , everything could have been so different .

and what was with allowing Ballack's goal for their 2nd ? he basically took a ride on Monty's back with that header
