Privilege stinks of farty old bollocks with stinky blue cheese. I mean come on. Do people still fall for this tired old shit? I'm not talking about the individuals, but the actual positions. It's ridiculous. Who would we vote for as president? I'd go for Joe Royle (hint of irony there), but i think the nation would go for Bradley Walsh or co-presidents Ant and Dec. I'd accept that as a democratic choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I'm no roylist, but for all the money in the world I wouldn't want to be woken up in the early hours to be told today's the day it's been arranged you're unveiling a plaque at some shopping centre hundreds of miles away. That's the life he chose and despite his outspokeness did some good things like his awards scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm proud we have such a great woman ruling over our nation and she can be as privileged as she likes as far as I'm concerned Without her and her husband, this country would have been less than nothing.

the_mighty_bosh Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Late to the party but... First 35 mins not much happen other than Whelan and Walker failed attempt at the most comical piece of defending, but 7 mins later and after 2 smart DKD dribbles, a McAleny pen that squeezed home and a brilliantly peculiar free kick routine (that Curle has given Paul Butler credit for) and we're 2-0 up. From our first goal to their first goal I thought we played some of our best football of the season and could've scored even more (Bahamboula deserved at least one goal), but as soon as we conceded we absolutely shut up shop. I want Curle to be in charge next season but if he's going to set us up to defend a lead often then we need to sign players who have the discipline to do it! Before DKD's first goal they could've easily drawn level. But DKD's two great finishes to counter attacks were pleasing to see. While Curle clearly values structure and shape above all (not a problem in my opinion) he's not stifled our attackers creativity and flair in the last two games which I've feared might happen in order to try to improve the defence. Bahamboula coming back and looking more comfortable in the set up definitely helps but the he wasn't involved in the fast breaks for the last two goals, so it shows that the team as a whole is allowed some freedom. Again I'd be more than happy to have the same XI at Morecambe (whenever it happens) as no one played particularly badly despite odd error or two. DKD absolutely deserves the MotM award for his hand in the first two goals and his finishes for the last two goals. I'm really interested to see how good he could be next season, if we bring in a good target man for him to play off then I wouldn't be surprised if he does well enough to soften the blow of McAleny leaving. Incredible that I'm saying that after some of his "performances" earlier in the season but he's improved so much that he deserves the praise.

Incredible that I'm saying that after some of his "performances" earlier in the season but he's improved so much that he deserves the praise. DKD was involved throughout the game and shows a rare composure when on the ball. He still has moments when his control lets him down and maybe he could improve his contribution when out of possession but his eye for goal is top class. His development as a player over the season is a huge compliment to the coaching staff and the lad himself. He didn’t figure much until the end of October and only scored his first goal in the league in December. A salutary lesson for those who write players off too quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
