The last time we weren't in the FA Cup Third Round

[1973Blade]

January 1982, the Human League were number one with 'Don't You Want Me', unemployment topped 3 million and Mark Thatcher disappeared in the Sahara Desert. In short it was a long time ago!

 

[WhiteHawk]

And in those 34 years, how many times have we entered the competition in the 3rd round?

 

[Tyler Durden]

Human League played in Sheffield last night too. Spooooky (a bit).

It must have been written in the stars!

Basically, the next time we want to progress in the FA Cup we just need to ring up Phil Oakey and tell him to fuck off.

The reply will be 'Don't ..........

It would be a bit difficult since he lives in Sheffield.

Maybe he has to move to Chesterfield if we ever want to win the FA cup.

It's just a pity that the spooky coincidence wasn't Mark Thatcher getting lost in the desert again.

Maybe I need to shag Joanne Catherall.

I'm willing to do it, for United like.

Suzanne Sulley grew up two minutes from Neil Warnock. There's your bit of useless slightly Blades-related trivia for the day

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

And the last time we lost in round 2, the year before v Chessie in a replay at Saltergate.

 

[RossoDeltic]

Joanne is my favourite, she was at the opposite end of the stage to us.
So losing to Altrincham was the last time. Sure that something good happened at the end of that season.

The circus of death is approaching.

The reply will be 'Don't ..........

More likely "Listen to the voice of Durden"

Was he living on the ceiling because there was no more room down there?

 

[Tyler Durden]

More likely "Listen to the voice of Durden"

"Sorry Phil but sound of the crowd will be greatly enhanced by us winning a fucking cup tie, you've got to leave.

Phil...Phil this is not about me opening my heart, it's just business"

Shit 80s Sheffield electro pop shite supported by electro pop shite from elsewhere.

Completely unbelievable! !!!!!!!

I wish I'd gone now, they were a great band, I loved Living On The Ceiling.

 

[I should coco]

I loved Living On The Ceiling.

Shite 80s band.

Seem to remember a poor taste 80s joke about what was being played in the disco on the Herald of Free Enterprise.

I'll get my coat. ....

Blancmange were very good. Particularly their version of Day before you came (ABBA cover), much darker than the original version.

I was at the Altrincham game lost 0-3 in the replay

And he never said "I love your love action"

Probably the perfect Pop album of my time was Dare. Fucking brilliant. Still gets plenty of play round these parts.

Mirror Man, top tune, rest is shit.

Agree with the first bit, you're talking cack on the rest though. Went badly wrong after about 83 but before that they were genius.

Genius is a word about as devalued as Venezuelas currency these days.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As the album I would take with me to a desert island it is genius. Pop music at its best.
