Still not watched one game in this World Cup. May get interested for tonight but hoping England get beat as I need to see Southgate and his woke management kicked out. Enough said on this shytshow as I have already said my piece on the hypocracy of the pundits who talk bollox about gay rights rainbow laces, diversity, women must be included as pundits Blah blah blah. Anyway enough of that, here’s me saying Dan James is ****. Not good enough for Leeds as a starter, not even good enough to start at Fulham a club who were favourites to be relegated. He started for Wales earlier in the week but was crap and subbed off and was given a 5/10 performance mark in a dire Welsh team. He wasn’t even starting today and sat on the bench, So was he worth £25m? no we were shafted probably due to trying to please Bielsa. Anyway our 2 yanks are delivering especially Adams as the new USA captain, but unfortunately he had to talk to a doddering old octogenarian called Joe Biden who rang him to wish him luck. Kristensen also had a good game apparently for the Danes and hearing he played right side midfield? Looking like the old warrior Klich will be on his bike in January. Think it was Phil Hay a couple of years ago that went to Poland to see Klich’s family and was told he wasn’t into football much as a kid, but played basketball to a high standard and his main hobby was and still is graffiti. He sprays shyt even today and back in Poland he has bought a building and converted it into a sports centre mainly for basketball and all the walls are used for graffiti art. Hes a local legend and never one to be a big I AM, hes a natural dry witted joker with a big heart. He may be angry at Marsch for lying to him but he will still be a legend in Leeds years from now. The World Cup has already increased the value of many players and has also reduced the value of others. Early days yet but the Leeds trio of Kristensen, Adams and Aaronson has rocketed their values especially Tyler Adams. However a couple of players Leeds have been linked with like Pulisic whereby a £20m+ offer would have got him from Chelsea now sees his value back up to the mid 30s mark again. The £30m Leeds wanted to pay for Gakpo has now been blown out of the water as his starting price is now way over £50m and if he carries on scoring in this comp could reach £70-£80m. Leeds deffo have an issue about headcounts even now we talk about one out before we can bring one in. I believe It was Heidi who said on another thread that we should have kept Alioski and Berardi last season ,even Pablo and we wouldn’t have got so near relegation. The injuries wouldnt have been as catastrophic as they turned out. Maybe we should also have kept Leif Davies as he is a better LB than Struijk and having a storming season at Ipswich
Out-on-loan Leeds United winger Dan James has earned criticism from Wales Online for his cameo role during Wales’ dismal 2-0 defeat to Iran on Friday – almost completely ending Wales’ hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages.
I don’t believe the values of Adams and Aaronson have increased after a solitary game against a poor Welsh team, their values increased due to performances in the Premier League. I’ll cheer England on tonight, there is enough hating the English without me joining in. I missed the first game, watched a bit of Wales v USA and the second half of the Portugal game. I agree it’s hard to get into and I’ve definitely lost a bit of love for the game in general. Bielsa brought us two fantastic seasons in the Championship, it rekindled everything I’d previously loved. First season in the PL there was no pressure and I was loving the big money signings The past two seasons it’s reality check time, both the PL with Sky money and the WC and corruption of it being in Qatar echoes that it’s all about the money and who has the most
As for armbands and human rights protests against Qatar. 10% of land in London is Qatari owned, The Shard and Harrods the two big ones. Qatar Investment Authority also owns 22% of Sainsbury, around 6% in Barclays Bank and 20% of Heathrow Airport Holdings. Ritz, Savoy, Claridges and a whole host of other hotels are owned or majority owned by Qatar too
Not bad for small country the size of Norfolk with a population of 350k. They also own Al Jazeera and BeiN Sports network. Nobody works really as they sit on the worlds biggest natural gas reservoir. They have enough money to buy whatever they want and they bought the World Cup and dont give a fk what anyone says. Our problem is we pander too much to foreign countries and allow them to come here and do whatever they want. They built islamic schools based upon Wahabi teachings and they build mosques here. Our media says nothing about this but because they don’t conform to our way of life we think we can critique them for not following our ways. Do these media and political pygmies think we would be allowed to build churches and schools in Qatar? No would they fk, so why do we allow our country to be “enriched”:
There's been some fantastic football so far in the world cup. You're missing out if you're not watching. Lots of open attacking football on show. Might be the best WC for ages.
I never really start watching till the knockout stage. Watched a few games as there’s ****all else on.
Bielsa yesterday in Norway doing a lecture. Norwegian Leeds fans grab him “I still felt loved and respected even if we were in a negative phase. One of the strongest emotions of a human being, is being loved and love unconditionally. What I received from you Leeds supporters is much more than I deserve. “My years in Leeds were amazing. I would have given it all to end it in a better way.”
Bet Victor doesn’t send a jet to Eindhoven again as think we are nowhere near cash rich enough for Gakpo now
But it was a PR stunt by Orta, we never had a chance of signing him, he said himself the deal that fell through was his move to Manchester. Orta heard about it and jumped on a plane to persuade him and he wasn't interested. We had as much chance of signing Gakpo as we did Alfie Haaland
Yeh. Instead of sweating over virtue signalling this, woke that... just watch the football. All this can’t stand Gareth Southgate stuff. Who fecking cares really. I’m English I support the national team in major tournaments… There’s been some good games and some average games so far. 2018 was poor, 2014 was great. I’m watching when I can.
Obviously want England to go well but to be honest the football has been so good that I'm not really fixated on England. I'll Obviously watch them when they are on but there have been some exceptional games and unbelievably alot of the better games have finished 0-0. The added on time at the end of each half has also produced some memorable moments. VAR has been decent too compared to the PL ****show as have the referee standards. Looking forward to seeing how Adams does against Mount and Bellingham and how Rice deals with Musah charging at him full bore.
Well England need to improve in the second half, that was poor. I don’t see what Bellingham brings to the team.
Well had a look at my first game tonight and switched off before half time. Southgate is useless but hey Milky you like to get behind managers, great please explain that performance as Im Reading everyone and I mean everyone saying we were shyt, set up wrong wrong team selection as his favourites picked as usual, no Foden…. Useless
