Leaping Lannys Perm Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The only reason Woods let Linigan score in '93 was that he'd accidentally put Presman's gloves on. Pressman had been having his traditional half time triple fish and chips and the gloves were all greasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest swfc 4 lyfe Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Wednesday were not awarded a penalty for 82 matches between 26/12/64 and 1/10/66. We will probably beat that with the refs we get now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S25_Owl Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 We will probably beat that with the refs we get now! Another fun fact! Sepp Blatter personally appoints sh!t refs to all our games, because he is secretly a Sheffield United fan (And also a d!ckhead) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sailmaker Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The North Stand is the only stand in the world which has a roof with supporting posts that are perfectly camouflaged to match the expected view of the observer. As a side note, when this came to light in 1986, its original name, the cantilever, was quietly dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
