To be a Blade

[silverfox]

Just wondering, after all these years watching the Blades, what you need to be a Blade.

I mean things like:

Ability to bounce back after defeat (yet again).

Being able to moan at one player no matter how well he plays on the day....eg Leggy and Monty

Sniffing out a pub at 5 mile distance! Did this one last night!

Over to you lot..........

a shirt

 

[Jack & Helga]

A sense of humour!!

 

[Robbie]

Moan at the moaners

Boo players/management (which is strange, nobody ever admits to being one of the people at boo yet they are there)

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

An over-riding sense of doom. Things can be going so well, perfect even, but you always have this feeling that it can all still go tits up!

If it can go wrong, it will go wrong! And even if it can't go wrong, the Blades will find some way of cocking it up big style!

To look forward to semi finals and nothing more

Semi finals are a very recent thing too!

You need to be pessimistic, definitely!

 

[Sensiblade]

Patience, lots of Patience

you have to have the ability to ignore Leigertwood beating two men and playing a perfect ball down the wing which meets the run of the advancing winger.....

only to go mad and sing the Billy Sharp song when our William skillfully fetches the ball back after its gone out for a throw in!

problem is people sit down when they get told to by stewards or otherpeople all you need to say is how can i sit down if this guy infront is stood up and how can he sit down if guy infront of him is up sorted,ivote everyone stands up at scunny at beginning of match no matter where you are and hpe it spreads round the rest if not sit down and admit defeat

The invisible man is blocking my view in front of me!


i agree there should be standing areas but need seated also. old uns like steve or young one cant stand up all the game.

seated or stood, who gives a hootle, as long as your supporting the red and white wizzardz!
