Sean Bean Nation

[Sleepy Ranger]

As awesome as I think it is that Sean Bean is coming out to defend the Blades and everything and as much as I enjoyed seeing you guys in the premiership last season. (The first day draw against the scousers comes to mind) I honestly think you should let it slip. You got relegated, the table doesn't lie. I'm confident you guys'll be back up for the 2008-09 season with a much stronger squad.

I've never liked West Ham but they played some wonderful football and (somehow) did the double over us but yeah, that's a wonderful reason to dislike them.

On another note, Boromir playing up front for Sheffield United would so rule!
Just so long as the Red Devils get Aragorn.... and Glorfindel...

When I went to see The Hitcher, there were several middle-aged ladies (no children, no husbands) in the audience. Now, maybe it's just me, but I can't see any reason for them to have gone to that particular movie, other than Sean Bean's presence. If there are any of those ladies around, correct me if I'm wrong...

Ahem...I believe I might have been one of those ladies...and you are correct in my case; The Hitcher isn't my usual fare.

Sadly I think Boromir, errr, Sean needed a Ring of Power as his bid has failed and his beloved Blades stay where they are in the second league of football! What has this city done??? The Blades go down together with all that lost revenue, our million pound super-nightclub Gatecrasher burns to the ground and then we get flooded out in a freak storm!

Is that a swarm of locust on the horizon?

Oh yes and now Sheffield United have launched an appeal in the High Court. They should just let it be...

[Sleepy Ranger]

Couldn't agree anymore. Just let it drop. West Ham were already fined an awful lot. All this is just making Sheffield United look liked sore losers, and hey, I actually liked them over the season and honestly thought they'd avoid the drop but what can you do.

Btw, Middle-Earth Football World Cup is back again!

Can't believe I'm getting into a footie discussion but I started it...but a low league side, Burscough FC (Hookbill will know them) this season fielded an illegal player for just one game and not only got a fine but lost points so there was precedent - and Mr Sean Bean and his fellow Blades were quite right to feel aggrieved.

Of course, should any of you fellow Beanites (Beanies? Beanie Babes? ) want to catch an eyeful of the man himself it should mean that a match ticket will be cheaper next time around...and I can direct you to his favourite drinking holes. He's a real 'man of the people', just like his portrayal of Boromir comes across in the films! But then I don't think a stuck up Tyke would go down too well

[Sleepy Ranger]

Burscough FC? I thought Bury were fined for fielding an illegal player. Something to do with the number of players you can have on the field who are on loan I believe. Wait... are Bury Burscough? Now I'm confused.

Ooo! And now everyone go check out Middle-Earth Football World Cup since it seems we do have a fair number of football fans here. Then go take part in the ME Fantasy Football tournament as well.

Oh and by the way, does anyone here play Fantasy EPL? The 'Downs had a league last year though we just had 4 members. Perhaps we could make a bigger one this year if people are up for it.
