My firm opinion? Since Frodo has already run off to do a film about his favorite football team, perhaps Boromir should do the same. Regardless of artistic licence... though Boromir standing atop the battlements of Osgiliath dressed in the Sheffield colours is an entertaining thought.

My response to Mattius: *facepalm* Thank you.
I've heard of that movie, too: just didn't know it was about Sheffield.

Anyway, in terms of Sean Bean rallying forces behind Sheffield vs. Boromir rallying forces behind Gondor... where does Aragorn stand in? When Sean Bean goes down to the Green Street Elite, will someone (Viggo Mortenson? impossible) ease his last moments with the reassurance that the Blades are doing fine, that they'll stay in the league...

Agreed. 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...

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...

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...

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!
