Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Watched it tonight, and actually really enjoyed it. Some observations.
1. Our defending was f***ing HORRIFYING. I mean seriously, seriously appalling. Quite apart from Hinsh's comedy OG against Colchester on Boxing day, there are so many HOWLERS where Elphick, Kuipers, Whing et-al are just stood there looking at each other, palms up in complete bewilderment. The Carlisle goals (0-2 at Withers) are a particular nadir and a textbook example of how NOT to defend - ballwatching doesn't even come close.
2. Just how INJURED did murray look for that 2nd Leeds goal. The fella could barely move, let alone chase back. How the f*** Adams and Stewart arrived at the conclusion that he could play a part that afternoon just shows how bloody amateurish we were last season. DISASTROUS decision that ruled our top striker out for the run-in.
3. Tony Bloom. I think I fell in love with him a little bit. There's a shy, understated manner to him, as though he never really wanted all this publicity focussed on him, but of course it ended up being unavoidable once he was forced to reveal exactly what it was he had in his trousers. Despite his multi-millions, he came across as a throroughly likable, decent, down-to-earth bloke who is stumping up this montrous amount of cash simply because of his love of the club, and because it HAD to be done. We are unbelievably fortunate to have him bankrolling this club, and I'm completely confident we are in safe hands with this fella.
4. The Dick Knight montage at the end. Wonderful. I was almost moved to tears in my admiration for this man, from the post-match interview at Edgar Street to his final fairwell as he handed it all over to TB. The word "legend" is banded about so cheaply these days, but in the case of Dick Knight, its so richly describes his part in the tapestry of this great club and in his case, is entirely appropriate.
Top stuff. If you've not watched it yet, you're in for a TREAT.
