I have heard something quite unsavory about Thompson from a reliable source saying he took a crap inside a cup. No reason why this person would lie, but very odd thing to do. Don't know where it took place or when.
We can't do any worse than redfearn. He says we played well tonight. If THAT is his standard... Oh my ****eing god! Wooton should start up front next week. More a striker than Sharp. Redfearn just blaming the strikers for not scoring saying that Mowatt is only one goal behind the top goalscorer. Don't drop the top goalscorer for 3 months then!! Christ alive is he thick!!!
Davy unfortunately it doesn't seem to matter who is in charge, there will always be people on sites like these that will start slagging off if there isn't instant success. I was prepared to give Cellino a chance, but I'm done with the twat. I said in the beginning that I didn't want eyties or **** foreigners on the books, but I gave them a chance too, Well a part from one or two I think I've been proved right.
Evening Leedslover. I wasn't suggesting this was necessarily a tactic of Cellino, just a very poor and strange decision to destabilise everything just as we put together a decent run and fans started to feel optimistic for once. It can't have helped Redfearn's authority with the players, particularly if they think he won't be here next season. I'm also sure "industrial language" is common place in football, if players managers etc got suspended every time there was a disagreement and swearing no one would be left in the game. Either way, surely the instability can't help his investment in the club.
After tonight's Millwall result, Leeds should be looking closely at the Wigan squad, who have wildly under achieved this year. Good players to be rehabilitated?
A Doctor?, a Surgeon or Brain specialist would be more appropriate..... We had 3 shots with only 1 on target, this is a similar stat for virtually every game. 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 is not our formation, we were scoring better with the 4-4-2 formation. Redders midfield wouldn't know how to feed if they gave'em each a big spoon, and sticking with Morison or Sharp shows why Redders is purposely blind to where the problems are. Redders has gone from "We have the best midfield in league" to "The young lads are going to make mistakes and get caught with the ball" to "we're a young side and we're building", he's going backwards with his statements, what next, "grass wasn't cut short enough to allow the young lads to play to their potential". Redders can't help himself can he, after the last four games he keeps claiming "we miss Cook"............where?
And when the next owners roll into town it'll be the same speech at their initial press conference. Fans are great but they must greasiest it'll be a two year job to get promotion and funds will be tight for team strengthening. Same old story every time and they'll lose interest after six months when they realise it's a waste of time and money
Listen Eire, I've travelled over since the 79/80 season before the luxury of Ryanair and not staying in hotels and seen a lot of ****e then. But as a supporter(and I'm not preaching to you) you have to take the good with the bad. If I wanted success I'd change my team every year or support Barcelona. It is blind faith, but I'll die a Leeds United fan, so will my lads. I could never and will never turn my back on this club. Remember I support the club, the players and supporters, not the owner or board members or the politics that go on behind the scenes.. LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS
Why get so hung up on what Redders says? Every manager in every division rolls out the same tired cliches. We had it back in the O'Leary days when we were good. They all talk ****e to cover their tracks
Shaks, agreed. Thing is starting over from scratch every feckin' year has just got old now. So Redders isn't the complete article? Agreed. But he's the best chance we have of preventing the PL offers from turning the heads of the best of the true Leeds prospects - only had their trust for 10 years. Tell me who the alternative is Leeds Lover? Chippy? Too easy to destroy with no alternative suggestions. Put up or shut up. Ultimately it's irrelevant anyway, we follow or feck off, which isn't an option for most of us.
I've no intention of turning my back Shaks but shelling out hundreds for a game for me is a non runner when I know the game will be crap and team couldn't be bothered. These overpaid ****ers aren't even trying anymore so why in Gods name would I fork out for that. Wind up travelling home in a foul mood after watching that. I've seen my fair share over the years too, not as many as yourself or others but will not tolerate players not trying 100%
That's what Warnock thought he was doing when he bought half the Pompey team (unknown to us Pompey were still paying the majority of their wages)
Personally I haven't a clue what the answer is. I just roll my sleeves up, dust myself down and get ready for the next season. Then when its over by christmas I do the same for the season after that.........sad I know, but that's what I call supporting a football team.
I don't think I suggested you would turn your back Eire. But personally I couldn't stay away while we are crap and then turn up when we start having success. Like you say, each to their own.
Everyone here Shaks supports them. We wouldn't be on this forum continually otherwise. We just have differing views, mostly influenced by age. The teams of sixties and seventies we grew up with were Leeds players through and true. Same with most other clubs. Vast majority now are mercenaries. I wouldn't have a tenth of the respect for most. Odeon day footballers
Really annoys me that Redfearn doesn't know how to use a balanced side. How can you play 4/5/1 with Sharp up front, or even Antenucci for that matter. At least try it with Doukara. He should be able to hold the ball up at least
