bladebloke Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Sheffield United is a contradiction in terms, as is Manchester United. Neither city is united in football, .: it was the unite'ing of the football and cricket clubs that gave us our name. and were all united in being blades arnt we.
al_partridge Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 it was the unite'ing of the football and cricket clubs that gave us our name. No it wasn't. The original cricket club founded in the 1850s was called Sheffield United Cricket Club. Contrary to what you like to boast about, you weren't even the first football club to be called United. First professional club yes, first football club no.
canadablade Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Who are these so called fan's what your talking about, ive also lived all over the shop including Wales, Chester, Chesterfield, Manchester, and believe me even now Sheffield Wednesday are the first team off peoples lips generally when Sheffield is mentioned and there's no doubt about that whats so ever. Nationally where known as "the Wednesday" to a lot of other fan's where as if someone would mention "Sheffeld United" when it came to the Blades, it would be Sheffield United due to about 30 other club's sharing your name Thats rubbish from a good poster. nationally you are known as the Pigs :hihi: And having travelled all over the world i can assure you no one mentions Sheffield United, we are always called THE BLADES As for outsiders seeing who is the bigger club its got to be United now and as a Blade i will admit for the wrong reasons but they are the Tevez Affair, the one season in the Premiership and now the Paddy Kenny fiasco plus we have been in a few Cup semi finals and play-off finals while you lot have done nothing for many, many years now and living off past 1990 glories
