Wow, Becchio was at Barcelona? Who cares. There's a reason he ended up in the English 3rd tier! And by the way, even WINSTON BOGARDE played for Barca, Milan AND Ajax in the 1st team.
Don't forget to mention the fact that he used "your" as opposed to "you're". So he's now had an English lesson as well.
They achieved their plan! Their staus was that they became the biggest joke of Europe, and, an abject lesson (still taught at BIG clubs) on what not to do with your money, no matter what Ridsdale might say!!!!
Leeds is a f***ing rats nest, abit like bellend road. Its the only place i know where you get egged for wearing a british army uniform in public.
That's 'cause they think you are the local council coming to carry out environmental improvements, or, the Environmental Health Department!!!
Next time load with live rounds, and shoot the c****. Then blame delayed combat stress. You thought you were in a Baghdad slum, coming under attack from the ragheads! Easy mistake to make in that slum!!!!
That must have been the reason you ended up getting relegation to the third tier of football, you were paying Nicky Barmby a fortune to play for us, I get it now. Face it Leeds missed the prem boat years ago, gambled and lost big time.They will never be a serious prem team again uncle Ken is too tight to spend money and not even a daft arab or rich oriental person will touch them with a 50 foot bamboo pole. Leeds United are now a championship club with a few more points than us thats it and I know lots of Leeds fans that quite happy being as such and have given up on dreams of competeing in that crazy money go round up top. Enjoy your team my friend where ever they are in the league and quit spouting crap about Becchio and Barca. If you are not happy with just watching football and feel the need for a bit of glory perhaps you could change your shirt and go support that joke of a clum Manchester (harlem globe trotters) United
Hear, hear. The Premier League table doesn't lie, and currently it's telling me that on no grounds do Leeds deserve to be there.
I couldn't give a nat's piss how big u think Leeds are, what matter is on the field of play & this season it's honours even 2-2 & 2-2.. so if u are so f****ing good then why didn't u win either game? Yes u may well make the play-offs and not us, but I doubt your defence will be good enough..
Right, that's enough eyeball rape reading all that tripe. Let's get some things sorted. 1. The reason you are above us in the table is because you have gained more points than us. Please stop referring to this, because you don't know the full story of what went on at our club. To cut a long winded and painful story short, it came out in early 2010 that we were in fact in a hell of a lot of debt. Debt which had only taken two years to arrive, given that when PB took over we were fincancially in the black. This was down to mismanagement of club finances by a man who knew nothing of football. We were lucky not to end up in admin, or even liquidation this summer. So to balance the books, we sold our first team squad (all of them bar 5) and promoted several youth players (perhaps prematurley in the case of Cullen) to fill the gaps. All of our signings were frees or extremley low fees this summer so needless to say, with the club being completley stripped and rebuilt, team bonding was going to take months, which it did. Had we had the team we have now back in August, we would be up there in the top 6. So that answers the league table question. 2. You claim your club is gigantic. Well, your support is ****; I went to Leeds away a few times in the last few years, and each time the support is minimal. Why is that? It can't be the rugby league team, because we have two of those and we manage to practically fill our home capacity each week. The only thing I can surmise is that people would rather go and watch Wakefield FC than pay their hard earned pennies to watch you play "football". 3. Our club isn't very big. It's average sized, a little bit like Barnsley FC. But not small, like Lincoln City, York City or your brain. We came from the deep murky depths of the football league and thrived in the upper echelons. When it didn't work out in the PL, we end up back in the Championship and are hoping to finish in the top half. That's it. Historically, speaking, no, we can't match Leeds in terms of qualifying for Europe, although we did qualify for Asia the summer before last. 4. If you gave us a decent fee for him, Bullard is all yours. Yup, a technically gifted player, but one with the health and lifespan of a diabetic knat. As we speak he is injured again, but if he does perform for Ipswich, he then comes back to us. If he performs really well, he will bypass you and go to a Premier League club. Oh, you will be, you say? That takes me nicely to point 5. 5. Now, being a football fan for all of my 23 years, I have come to learn, among others, two important things. One, contrary to the sponsor name, never eat the chips at Scarbrough's McCain Stadium and two, the seaon isn't over until everybody has played 46 games (Play offs aside, of course). You are in the playoffs now, but come the end of the season, any one of Burnley, Reading, Leicester or Hull could easily go on a run and pip you to it. Your run in is no picnic, but even if you do finish in the top 6, you then then have to win 3 football matches to get through. I guess the big question is, what if you are wrong, and you don't go up this season? For all your bragging and certainty, you don't seem to have grasped that the football isn't controlled by you, but by 11 people you have no power over. Ergo, if you don't go up, you will look a bit of a tit. Which being from Leeds, should allow you to blend into the populous perfectly. Just wanted to clear that little mess up.
I thought he had a grubby little hole in the ground, joined the Leeds old-bottle-rush and gave his life away to looking through dumps for old bottles. Similar to how they were in America with the gold rush, except I imagine an old bottle is more glamourous in a Leeds tramps eyes than gold...
He was fishing for a move to the scum long before we demanded his sale. WHAT?! Billy Bremner, Eddie Gray and Lucas Radebe are club legends. People who gave their all for Leeds United and showed determination and loyalty. Not little traitorous sell out twats like Alan Smith. Smith wasn't even with us long enough to be a legend anyway. At the time he was a hero, now he's the antichrist as far as I'm concerned. A giant cesspit which somehow got onto the Best five places to live in the UK poll. Of course Hull, the team you support, and the city of Leicester, where you live, aren't giant cesspits in any way. Snodgrass has three years left on his contract as of the end of this season. I wouldn't be so sure. And I'd take Snodgrass over Bullard any day of the week. Sheff Utd game this season. Since then it's been closed because Mr Bates has decided to build some executive boxes there. Have you seen our matchday prices? I agree in principle, we should get more fans, but I've come to accept that Leeds is not a sporty city, and those that are sporty are for the most part from families who've moved to Leeds from outside so support other teams, then there's the large rugby element. Prices are what keep a lot of people away though, why should they go and watch Championship football for top Premiership prices is the argument. I don't subscribe to it, but I'm a sucker. Don't get me started on our appalling season ticket policy. Yeah but so's the home support of nigh on every other English club, so I don't get what your point is. We're louder than the average lot, would like to be selling out every week but circumstances are circumstances and they clearly don't allow that to happen. A club can be big without having huge attendances. Do you think Juventus are a small club because they only get about 20,000 fans? Don't be stupid, they have a huge fanbase (many of them non-match attending) in the same way that Leeds do.
Il Duce: I am aware that not everybody can get to a game, for whatever reason. I was talking about the supporters who go to the games. I am based in Leicester, but I still have a season ticket and make the journey to the KC as often as I can. But if the stadium remains as empty as I have seen it, they can't claim to have the brilliant support they say exists. By that nature, if Juventus had a fan base of say 750,000 people for example, but got 75 at a game, would you say they were a well supported club? An exagerration perhaps, but the empty seats at Elland Road made it feel a lot more desolate than it should of.
