The Warriors…

[Bladeulike]

…the iconic 1979 film. There’s a point in the film where the Warriors gang is being chased by yet another rival gang through New York when the leader suddenly stops, turns to face his pursuers and says “fuck it, I’m sick of running”.

That’s where we are now. We’ve all been mesmerised by goal differences, comparison graphs, promotion algorithms and games in hand calculations to the point where we have begun to lose our focus and direction. I honestly think the players have suffered from this too, to a large extent. In other words, we are suffering from being the pacemakers rather than the chasers.

It’s now black and white. No more cushions, no more ‘what ifs and buts’ - it’s a straight fight for every point. I think that will help the players and the coaching staff with their narrative and their clarity of purpose. Blackburn supporters, amongst others, describe us as the ‘dirtiest team in the division’. Let’s take that as a compliment. Not in terms of fouling or cheating, but in terms of physicality and drive. Time to change the mind set, drop the passengers and face up to the dog fight we are now in. Let that be an integral part of the process of team selection. I think we all know the players that need to step up those that should step down. We are still in a great position, stop running, start fighting!

Its the bit where a split faction are being pursued by the fitter, more tooled up Baseball Furies through a park. James Remar's tough guy Ajax character is running alongside the less fitter Vermin when Vermin says he can't go on. Ajax, still in stride and outpacing the Furies asks for confirmation to which Vermin affirms and Ajax says: "Good. I'm sick of running from these wimps!"

They both turn and although Vermin gets a fucking spanking, the remainder members of the Warriors turn the baseball bats on the Furies and kick their fucking heads in. As they walk calmly away, Ajax says "Should have figured they were wimps!"

I fucking LOVE that film and everything about it. Youtube is alive with everything 'Warriors', including all their reunions and other such niff-naff.

The film is STUFFED with quotable content

Is there a part in the film where the most expensive gang member who happens to be Norwegian lethargically runs around doing fuck all and looks completely disinterested for the whole film??

No. That isn't in the film at all.

I feel like we’re at the point in Deep Blue Sea where Samuel L. Jackson gives that speech about how the enemy is out there and they should all be working together.

Beat Reading and it's seven points with GD eight points effectively. Fuck the fixtures and ifs or buts. We'll do it the hard way but we'll do it. UTB

The bit in the old Jacobs Marshmallows advert, where it's the scene from Alice in Wonderland and the dormouse says "Everyone's a fluffy one."

“ You’ve got to Fxxking die to get 3 points”
That’s what’s required Tuesday.

If we lose Tuesday is Zulu the film reference

 

[Frank the tank]

Is there a bit in the film where the audience sneer at the actors for not trying hard enough and then start crying like big hairy fannies ?
