This morning we’ve got something different. Three different pieces from the archives of the DEM Blades fanzine which, coming off the back of two defeats, should provide a bit of light relief.

By Andrew ‘Roy’ Hague

From Issue No.3
By Sam-Bajdala Cressey

From Dem Blades Annual No.2
By John Grainger
Third and finally, a game. Better than Wordle, better than taking a move on Chess.Com, it’s I-SPY.
Nice to know name of music just before kick off.....now downloaded thank u👍😄

“A” is particularly apt considering the actions of one Mr Philip Jagielka on Saturday! And “E” still makes me laugh out loud. A great start to the week; thanks.
Sue.
