The Twelve Blades of Christmas

[Paulus]

I hate this time of year - the weather is crap, short days leave me feeling depressed, Christmas is too expensive and I'm always too knackered to enjoy it anyway so as an attempt to raise the spirits a little and get prepared for the festive season I seek your assistance in creating the definitive Christmas wish list for Blades fans in the form of our very own 12 days of Christmas.

As an initial suggestion;

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a greasy chip butty

over to you lot.

 

[TonyAgana]

On the 2nd day of Christmas my true love gave to me,
Two Nuddy Gloves,
And a Greasy Chip Butty.

 

[Santos]

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Three Henderson Bullets
Two Nuddy Gloves
And a Greasy Chip Buttie

OK then I go away and do some work and return to a full set of suggestions so it looks like:

On the twelth day of Chistmas my true love gave to me
12 injured players
11 loan players
ten Heuval
9 Keith Edwards
8 pints of Magnet
7 goals against Wednesday
6 keefs a laying
5 ginger Quinns
4 spoons of cough mix
3 Henderson bullets
2 Nuddy Gloves
and a greasy chip buttie


Not bad but I think we need to improve the rhythm a bit, maybe


On the twelth day of Chistmas my true love gave to me
12 injured players
11 loan signings (How about 11 Blades a winning)
ten Heuval missing
9 Keith Edwards
8 pints of Magnet

6 keefs a laying
5 ginger Quinns ......
4 spoons of cough mix (This needs tidying up but I can't think how)

[Linz]

Greas-ee Chip Butt-ee
Two Nuddy Gloves
Three Relish Bullets
Four packs of Woodbines?
Five Gin-ger Quinns
Six Keefs a-laying
Seven goals vee Wens'di
Eight pints of Magnet
Nine Keith Edwards (could do with another syllable in there)
Ten Lauren Ten Heuval
Eleven Blades a-winning
Twelve inch-high Geary?

 

[Pinchy]

Nine King Keith Edwards?

 

[Paulus]

would 7 goals past wensdi work better?

 

[Linz]

I was right, you are a tight bugger.

Very difficult to get a new chant going. I tried a few years ago singing 'Phil Jagiel, Jagiel, Jagielka' to the tune of The Macarena and everyone just stared at me.
