I've said it before and I'll say it again, Howson has to be the most over rated player in the league. I've seen him quite a few times this season and he's awful. I'll give you Pete's lad and Snodgrass, good players but Howson or as I now call him ; How 'the **** do you make a living from football' son ? See what I did there ??
Haha, I agree, Howson is absolute ****e. All he can do is break up play by earning a yellow cant by lunging in.
Gradel > Schmeichel. Kasper's a good shot stopped but he's turning into a bit of an Ankergren and flapping at crosses more, not commanding his defence etc. Didn't seem to be a problem at the very start of the season but his injury appears to have knocked his confidence a bit. Westwood, Speroni and Kenny are all probably better. Leeds fans do overrate him, I admit that, but no-one else seems to know he exists. You don't get 10 goals from midfield by being "awful". He can go missing in games but that tends to be when he's played in a 4-4-2 which, in fairness, means he is playing out of position. Play a winger at fullback and you'll see the same thing. He's still done a steady job. Bollocks, that's the one thing he can't do! Puts in a few tackles but he tends to go a bit AWOL in 4-4-2, however his range of passing is superb and he is also an instinctive finisher, loves a side-footer into the corner of the net. Hence why we play him as a so-called 'CAM'. Rather have Andy King or Adel Taarabt, but I'm not exactly upset that a Leeds lad is our captain and leader and he's having a fantastic season. BTW you two, Howson is fourth in the Championship Actim Index. Statistically the fourth best player in the Championship. A real giveaway of an "awful", "****e" player. Gradel is third too.
Fourth in the what ?? The Actim index, have a word .It's got to be something Grayson himself has made up. Howson the fourth best player in the league.
With the results that have been coming in over the last few weeks it just shows that no team in the top 9/10, bar QPR can be certain of where they will be untill the last few games. QPR have got to either really cock it up or get the points reduction everyone keeps banging on about, however all that matters to moi is where Leicester will be and i'm confident we will be there when it counts In Sven we trust Bring on Drogba and Klose hehe
"The Actim Index is the official player ratings system of the Barclays Premiership, Coca-Cola Championship, and Scottish Premier League. It is compiled and distributed by PA Sport, a subsidiary of the Press Association. In 2010, it was renamed as the EA Sports Player Performance Index. The EA Index ranks players on a weekly basis, according to their performances on the pitch, both by position and in an overall chart, throughout the season. The EA Index rankings are based on a player's aggregate score for all matches played. Each player's contribution to matches is calculated using a mathematical formula developed by PA Sport, alongside statisticians from Salford University. Contributions which are examined include goals, shots, passes, dribbles, tackles, crosses, saves, clearances, blocks, interceptions, time on the pitch and number of points gained by their team." So unless Salford University is actually a front for Leeds United, I seriously doubt it. And even if you don't think he's in the top 10 in the League, the very fact he's in there suggests he's not "awful" or "****e". Anyway, take a look at his goals and assist stats and keep talking trash all you like, it means the square root of bugger all.
I'm not at all. I tried to avoid generalising by saying "are some of them getting above their station". I'm not saying you all expect Rooney and Messi to be joining in the next transfer window, just that SOME of your fans are getting a little big-headed. Or it may just be that they're all ****s, like you Mr Sensitive.
If Sven's done so much for your club (or at all for that matter), why is it that the one point about him you feel deserves recognition in your user name is his genitalia?
****ing hell mate you need to smoke a peace pipe or something. Calm down , take deep breaths and just chill. Oh and here's a little tip for you, if you're going to get your knickers in a twist at L***s players getting slagged off don't come on a Hull City board. Simples.
Howson is a cracking passer of the ball and chips in with some important goals, but he is very dirty (which is to be expected given that he is a born-and-bred Leeds fan), cannot head or tackle and is massively overrated. He isn't ****e, but he's not that great either. He's a good player.
The Actim Index is bollocks, our **** players always come higher up the list than the good ones, it should be called the not-Accurate Index.

Erickson is about as big a bullshit artist as Phil Brown . He just grabs media attention to try to attract a better Employer he like Klose is past it . England-Man City-Notts County-Leicester sounds a bit of a downward spiral to me .(not suggesting Leicester are the bottom rung of the ladder by any means ,but it's a longtime since he last managed a successful team.
