Theme songs

[Newbury Blade]

Listening to the radio this morning I was struck by how appropriate some of the songs were to the Blades:

Passing Strangers (our back 4)

Pretty Vacant (the performance at Watford, though not the "Pretty" bit obviously)

Or how about to sum up the whole season:
Buddy, Can You Lend Me A Team?

Any other suggestions? (And please not The Mighty Quinn, cos he isn't)

How about a whole album with songs appropriate to United? I give you a season review to the tune of Never Mind the Bollocks....

We thought that after the club had had a close season Holiday(s) in the Sun in Malta, we would start off well this season. However, it was the same old same old, with the tactic being to get Bodies in the box, whic rapidly left lots of fans becoming disillusioned and having No Feelings for the club anymore. To add to the problems, costs were cut and some people starting calling McCabe a Liar when it came to the club's funding.

Just as people stopped standing to God Save the Queen many years ago, people stopped giving our esteemed chairman the automatic respect he used to get and to add to our Problems we lost 4 straight games in October/November.

Another issue was the rapid turnover in the team; by the end of the 2009 some Seventeen players had made their debuts for United that season and the club's organisation seemed to be degenerating into Anarchy (in the UK). However, things started brightening up in November and December as we went on an unbeaten run, but our tactics still involved little more than battering the opposition into Submission.

Things went rapidly downhill again in January and the team were Pretty Vacant during the appalling performance at Watford the following month. At this point some said that Blackwell should be packed off on a slow boat to New York and one or two said he was only fit for sweeping up at EMI's head office.

Ok, a bit contrived, but all the songs are in order

I give you The Smiths

I was happy in the haze of Bramall Lane
But heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a match, and then I found a match
And heaven knows I'm miserable now


At the Lane
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?


Two midfielders entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now


I was looking for a match, and then I found a match
And heaven knows I'm miserable now


At the Lane
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?


What Blackwell asked of me at the end of the game
Football purists would have blushed


"You've been at the Lane too long" he said
And I (naturally) fled


At the Lane
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?


I was happy in the haze of a Bramall Lane
But heaven knows I'm miserable now


"You've been at the Lane too long" he said
And I (naturally) fled

On a slightly tenuous link, I missed the start of the match on Saturday (Hey, lucky me huh?) but I could have swore that the teams came out to a Pendulum track at the start of the second half? Can anyone confirm this or is it just my wizened old ears playing up again? I really do hope that's the last we'll hear of that god awful Iggy Insurancesalesman tune.
