Jammis Unfortunately Clubs with history revert back to history and talk about it. Clubs without history don't and try and ridicule ones that do have history. Just saying.
Best post so far. It all just sounds like a little jealousy and anger from the Leeds fans which is understandable. I'm 21 so Leeds isn't a "bigger" club than Norwich in my eyes. The success we had last season has really wound people up. Not sure why, maybe we're toppling the football aristocracy a little. Right now Norwich is a more attractive place to play football than Leeds, man up and deal with it. This whole inbred, relegation and small city malarky just looks dumb and petty. Good luck to Leeds, always enjoyed watching them in the Champions League when I was younger.
I would be more than slightly peeved that the calibre of players we are talking about (Howson and Snodgrass etc.) have been replaced with 33% of the Portsmouth starting lineup from last season. I can therefore totally understand the frustrations but, it's Bates you should be venting at not us.
I can't really see the point in shouting at the Norwich fans. For some reason they like our generally inadequate midfielders. Good for them. Warnock on the other hand appears equally obessed with collecting Portsmouth players. Does he get them out on a Sunday and make them play in his back garden or something? The bottom line is that Snoddy wants Premiership football. He wanted it last year obviously but stuck with the shambles of a team. So now he's off. If he does well and Norwich do get relegated, another Prem team will come in for him. If they don't get relegated and he does well, someone might come in for him next year. If Norwich go down, we go up, we may buy him back. You just don't know, it's not a long career and the days of a player spending an entire career at a club ended with the start of the Premier League. What matters is that players do their best for the club when they are there and if they are going to leave, get the club a decent transfer fee rather go for nothing.
to be fair, snoddy did us proud, hes going the same way as beckford, going up and will come straight back down again, but anyway good luck snoddy, hopefully bates will realise what he has done, he must start taking hints soon !!
I have no problem, other than feeling the pain, of Snoddy going. He did his best for us but cannot really say the club did its best for him and others. Simply throwing their best contract to him does not cut it. I wish him all the best and expect him to be succesfull just as Jonny Howson has been.
Agreed. A quick takeover and complete assurances could have been the only possible way for him to see our 'ambition'.
LA's an absolute **** tip. Takes an eternity to travel across and full of general sketchy characters. We got lost in Hollywood ventured a bit off track which you think would be Ok, it made the Coldharbour Lane in Brixton look like a picturesque village, non stop hassle gangs of people trying to intimidate you, crackheads and hobos. If your in LA stick to the Beach cities like Santa Monica or the rich parts up in the hills . Las Vegas is my favourite absolutely love the place. Yellowstones cool wasn't there for too long.
Every city has its rough areas and quite honestly you missed LA's worst. Agreed that the place to be is Beverly Hills and west of there to the Pacific Ocean. I have been here 25 years in those neighbors - living, working and playing and it is great! Not too depress you too much but the local golf course only closes 3 or 4 days a year due to too much rain!
Florida sucks! NYC - great to visit, horrible to work in, debatable if it is good to live in. Probably great for guys in their 20s and early 30s.
Saw some dodgy areas from the interstate and drove through a bit of Boyle Heights which looked interesting. I know someone who go lost and ended up in Crenshaw . Beverly Hills looked very unmarket it was a welcome addition in comparison to Little Armenia or whatever the place we got lost in Hollywood. I liked the beach places Venice Beach and Santa Monica etc.
Never, not the local lad done good who just loved his hometown club so much it made you want to weep.
Worked in NYC in the mid 80's, lived in Queens and then moved up to Albany. Love NYC still to this day and my wife and I visit it every year to shop and visit people. I have been to Florida many times and enjoy the place, it's a different kind of American state and appeals to certain people. I personally hate Philadelphia and would never wish to live in the ****hole.
He is gone & as far as I am concerned he is history. I don't any player that is not happy to be playing for Leeds U. We move on.
Typical reaction; "don't want any player who doesn't want to play for us", "he's just greedy", "we'll get better". Here's a novel idea, why not question why our best players all want to leave?
I never said he was greedy or we will better without him. All I said if a player wants to leave they are welcome o do so. Leeds will be around after he left. As to why he left, I would have thought it obvious, we are not being bought by a rich guy so Snodgrass doesn't think we are good enough.
Surely though it's better to question why the club isn't making our best players want to stay, rather than declare we don't want players who don't want to play for us while we slip back further and further?
But he chose to play in the PL. How can we in the championship can keep a player from achieving his dream of playing at a higher level?
