From the DEM Blades archive
Three short snippets from the DEM Blades fanzine
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.
From Issue No.6
By Andrew ‘Roy’ Hague
First up, a timely reminder that the pervasive pessimism of Sheffield United fans comes with its own lexicon.
From Issue No.3
By Sam-Bajdala Cressey
This wasn’t meant to be a stonking great metaphor for the ruthlessness of football. But here, now, in this context, I think it is.
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👍😄
Thanks! Always good to have a recap and I must admit I’d forgotten about Andrew’s brilliant “Phrase and Fable”.
“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.
