I always thought Norman Rockwell paintings had deeply sinister undertones, especially that one of the too-perfect family about to tear a turkey limb from limb, before quite possibly starting on each other. But maybe that’s just me.
I had to look up Norman Rockwell but yes I completely agree. I think they’re supposed to be sinister?
I don't know enough about Rockwell to be able to judge his intent. But the guy almost out of frame in the bottom right of Freedom From Want looks like he might have something subversive to say. Rockwell's most famous paintings were illustrations in magazines, so it wouldn't have done for him to deliberately undermine his subject matter. But it wouldn't be unusual for an artist working on commission to squeeze a little bit of doubt or satire into a painting that ostensibly celebrates it's subject.
I see they play Villa tomorrow, at least we have 2 more recovery days than them. And being positive, if Diallo and KWP are back available we will win.
Have left the Land of Despair and am now in Coma Country....can stick pins in my arms and not feel it A game against Sheffield United should produce a miniscule of hope, but I know it's a trap, so am going back under my blanket.
What we really need on Saturday is to score early. Their heads will drop and we'll start to relax and will probably win by 2 or 3.
SFC need to sharpen their passing to find their cutting edge in attack. A defeat would be like a dagger to the heart!
Score early? With our history from leading positions? I am hoping to score the opener in the 98th minute. Even then I am worried we may lose 2-1.
I ignored the Everton game. Deliberately went off to play on the XBox. Was obvious we would lose. Came back to see we lost. No shock. I expect us to lose to Sheffield too. We are simply dire at the moment. However, this time I am hopeful of being wrong and will follow the game... but maybe not watch it. I am too old to get stressed about a bunch of strangers kicking a ball around on some grass these days.
We’ll know for sure on Thursday but I think KWP and Diallo will be back for this. Redmond needs to be dropped, and Ings, Adams and Bertrand need to up their performances. McCarthy KWP, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Bertrand Minamino, JWP, Diallo, Armstrong Ings, Adams Tella or Djenepo if Minamino isn’t back.
You hinted at how joyful your might be having to do a thread which involves writing, which may involve the use of pens. And if you haven't used one in a while they could be pass their sell by date. Besides, look at SU nickname!!
I had the perfect excuse not to watch as am +3 GMT. The only surprise l got from the result this morning was that it was only 1-0. Not expecting much from this game either. Hoping that they come at us and we sneak a late breakaway goal and hang on for a point or more.
