A know cos a married one, still can,t understand wot she,s sayin ayf the time! Mind you, lobbin mi earin aids in the bin dunt elp a suppose!. Arrive at St. James Park surrounded by these ruff lookin geezers, a bit intimidatin ta say the least! Turned out a piece o piss tho az Billy Russel a skoyle tacher in Birmingham scoored a hat trick in the first ten minutes! Ran out 3-1 winners so Semi ere we come! Agee-anst Leicester City at that shit oyle Elland Roo-ad. Stalemate till the last 10 minutes when up pops Goyle Machine Doc Pace n nods uz in front! Guin Berserk time, climb e o,er the barrier n run on the pitch ta celebrate, but wait, bastard in black disallows it fer andball so crawl back o,er the barrier pissed off. 0-0 draw n comin off the pitch Doc shows Mr, Specsaver the muddy ball mark on iz showdwer ta show weer the ball came off, Blades luck agee-an! Replay at Scab land n fer some strange reason follerin Monday 3pm Kick Off? Wonder if scabs ant paid thier light bill? So decision time, skoyle or match? Only One Winner! Last year at skoyle so Donald Duck it! Choo Choo ta Nottingham n oft wi gu ta wetch another 0-0 stalemate n next mornin at assembly pig fan ee-ad teacher calls uz out n wants ta know why me n mi mates wagged it. Eee really musta bin az thick az a Bulls lug! So tek our strokes o the cane like real Blades Men! 2nd replay down at Fog Inspector land, St. Andrews Birmingham, loyse two nowt wi Graham Shaw missin a penalty, n talkin about penalties, that one Simonson took agee-anst Hudderfield in the play off final at Wembley a stand on the doorstep every neet, look up ta the sky ta see it still orbitin the earth!
