Not as bad as I first feared. Can he really be any worse that Cannon?

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Scum fans wishing him well here

No.

 

[Rodley]

Decent write up from Leeds fans.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Haven't been this excited since Gary Madine.

 

[Stanthemanfan]

Well this will get the fans onside won't it?

I now have to cheer along farking fauntleroy. Wonder if we are paying for his butler as well?

 

[fifty shades of blade]

No.

At least he will improve the intelligence levels in the dressing room. Excellent school qualifications led to him being offered a scholarship at Havard University that he turned down to concentrate on football. Can converse in Spanish French and German. Can play the guitar saxophone piano and violin. Well he was always good at fiddling.

Its all about fitness. He's a forward that can hold the ball up which is what we are missing whether he can make meaningful contributions in the short term is the question. Along with Maddison at Spurs top of the belly flopper performers in football when someone breathes on him. None of us will complain if he does it against the Pigs and wins a penalty provided he doesn't take it.

I never wanted Madine back but he did contribute. Bamford has to do the same to win the fans over.

He went to the same secondary school as I did, but sadly I have never had a butler !! None of my mates from school are as posh as you suggest.

He went to Nottingham High School. Fee paying. Not a state secondary. That, to me, is posh.

"A better player than we sometimes give him credit for. Also, he was always best in a front 2 yet we have always played him as a lone striker"


That's the end of that then.

 

[LBA_Blade]

“A fit and firing Patrick Bamford is a tremendous asset”

The above with them also saying he shouldn't play as a lone striker makes me think, he could do a job if he stays fit. We (collectively on this forum) have said that even though we are strugglingly massively "the league doesn't seem to be that great this year" and a squad like ours should be doing better. If we can create chances get ball moving quickly, he should be ok for the Championship.

Can play the guitar saxophone piano and violin.

Tony Agana also played the saxophone, and had a streaker at the Lane..

"We were on benches pitch-side and she (a slim, but well endowed, topless blonde) came running on and we were all laughing. Someone went "She's running this way!" and I said "Yes she is...err. Yes she is!" and then she jumped on me, planted a kiss and ran off. She was a lovely girl and she did apologise. Post-match a call came into the bar and a shout comes over, “Tony there's a call for you” and I am thinking who is this? Anyway, it was the streaker and she said that she wanted to apologise for any embarrassment she had caused me.”

At the close of Part 1 of this interview, which you can read here , Tony had just joined the Blades. But within a few months it was a case o...

I went there, paid for by the local council. I was born and raised in Norfolk Park and at Woodthorpe Junior school, so not posh.
Do not assume that all at public schools are fee paying.
More importantly the background of any player ( excepting unacceptable criminality) is irrelevant if that player is an overall benefit to the club he represents.

Most are posh, well, privileged anyway. Last I looked only 1 per cent of private school pupils in the UK didnt pay a penny in fees, just over 5 per cent received bursaries. About a third received some form of financial support thru educational excellence. So most families do have to pay a fair whack, £1000s per term (nottingham high school is £7k plus per term!) so out of the reach for many. Bamford's dad was an architect. I know plenty of them through a former job and a distant relative, all are absolutely rolling on it. Private education opens doors for many, doors which are not accessible to most of us state school plebs.
By the way, I wasn't talking about his football ability...though I do know most private schools have fantastic sporting facilities, great coaches and sporting contacts which open doors of opportunity. Of course, you do need to be talented to take advantage of them, but it doesn't half help to have those opportunities available to you.

Privileged I agree, but not necessarily posh. I don’t accept that those who are state educated are plebs.
Anyway let’s get back to the football !!

Ok, so he’s a mardy, cheating little cunt. But so long he knows where the opposition goal is…That’s good enough for me.
It doesn’t seem to occur to our current crop of shot-shy ne’er-do-wells, that you have to score goals to win games.

so do you think Bamford is somehow morally corrupt and unlikeable because his parents sent him to a fee paying school?

Point out where I state he is morally corrupt and generally unlikeable. All I am doing is outlining the advantages available to those who go to private school. That sticks in my craw as I think all kids should have access to the same resorices and opportunity. Sorry if that bothers you. All the best and have a great weekend

Doesn't come across as very complimentary to me, but as you said, we can still have a good weekend

It's probably fair to say it's slightly bonkers to think that public schoolboys have any advantage in football; marvellous facilities, pitches like bowling greens and cocoa at bedtime before unspeakable practices nothwithstanding.

Apart from the fact that public schoolboys invented the game, formed the world's oldest club and won the FA Cups until the game became popular with the hoi polloi they have largely been left out of participation as professionals since the end of the 19th century.

I did at one time think that the notorious ticket tout who became chairman of Barnet was the same character as appeared in Tom Brown's Schooldays, but even that turned out to be false.

Even their double-barreled names have become popular with the lower classes now.

The trouble is, speaking as the product of a bog-standard ex-secondary-modern Comprehensive, all kids don't have access to the same opportunity. Some are taller or shorter, stronger or weaker, mentally agile or feeble, handsome or ugly, richer or poorer. For better or worse football has always had a way of letting the best rise to the top regardless of background. It's probably the closest there is to a meritocracy.

Back on point it's nice to see that the club and its management don't think we have enough injury prone players that it's not possible to sign some more.

It was a half tongue in cheek comment about someone who comes from a privileged background. That said, compared to my childhood (pitsmoor council estate kid, no dad around, mother on benefits who never worked due to mental health issues) most other kids grew up privileged - Luckily I broke the chain, went to uni and was similarly patronised and sneered at by the many private school kids I met once they found out my background. Works both ways. Anyway, again, have a great weekend
