A can ear ya all sayin, "Eer eee guz agee-an, that owd twat on about the past!" but summat az allus stuck in mi craw about season 67/68 n the way it ended fer uz Bladesmen. Last match o the season Blades 3rd from bottom, same points az Coventry but better goyle difference. Blades 3pm kick off at the Lane agee-anst Chelsea who ad newly arrived Birchenall in their team, sold to em by the Blades fer 100K. Then fer some strange reason, never bin explained, Coventry v Nottingham Forest 7-30Pm Kick Off, never erd owt like that on a Saturday in them days befoor. Blades loyse 2-0 so it,s up ta Coventry ta folla the script already knowin wot thi av ta do, talk about, Advantage Coventry! Oo-am on leave so pissed off ,out on the piss. Wi the lads in the owd Red Lion behind the City Hall when some pissed off pig shouts, "United av gone down, Coventry av drawn 0-0!". Talk about pissed n pissed off! Especially after readin the Sunday rags spoorts papers, dull afair weer neither team wudda scoored if thid av played till the next Saturday! Cut up or wot? Ta me on a par wi the fiddlin bastards West Ham Tevez saga! So it,s pick theesen up, dust theesen off, ee-ad down, arse up n start tabbin! Gud job God blossomed on the pitch n back weer wi belonged after season 70/71!
