Morning Everyone, Is there a point in time that a professional footballer deserves NOT to get paid his wages? If so, I would like to nominate Leeds Utd. No passion, no drive, no enthusiasm, and very little effort. Forget what is happening off the field, these guys are pro's, the elite as it were, many of them have in some way represented their Countries at one time or another. They should not let their heads go down. Ever since we got spanked 6-0 at Hillsborough back in January, we have been on a downward spiral. Look at the results in recent weeks : Leeds 2 Reading 4 Leeds 1 Bolton 5 Bournemouth 4 Leeds 1 Our one saving grace is that we had a good start to the season, and should be safe from relegation. Word has it, we may not be able to pay the players and staff this month. You will recall Haigh told us that administration was not possible, and indicated we were doing alright financially. I wonder whether he'll put the record straight? Lets have a quick look at the league table [TABLE="class: table-stats, width: 336"] [TR="class: team, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"] [TD="class: position"]14[/TD] [TD="class: team-name"]Leeds[/TD] [TD="class: played, align: center"]37[/TD] [TD="class: goal-difference, align: center"]-5[/TD] [TD="class: points, align: center"]47[/TD] [/TR] [TR="class: team, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"] [TD="class: position"]15[/TD] [TD="class: team-name"]Middlesbrough[/TD] [TD="class: played, align: center"]38[/TD] [TD="class: goal-difference, align: center"]4[/TD] [TD="class: points, align: center"]46[/TD] [/TR] [TR="class: team, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"] [TD="class: position"]16[/TD] [TD="class: team-name"]Huddersfield[/TD] [TD="class: played, align: center"]38[/TD] [TD="class: goal-difference, align: center"]-4[/TD] [TD="class: points, align: center"]45[/TD] [/TR] [TR="class: team, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"] [TD="class: position"]17[/TD] [TD="class: team-name"]Bolton[/TD] [TD="class: played, align: center"]38[/TD] [TD="class: goal-difference, align: center"]-5[/TD] [TD="class: points, align: center"]44[/TD] [/TR] [TR="class: team, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"] [TD="class: position"]18[/TD] [TD="class: team-name"]Blackpool[/TD] [TD="class: played, align: center"]38[/TD] [TD="class: goal-difference, align: center"]-21[/TD] [TD="class: points, align: center"]41[/TD] [/TR] [TR="class: team, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"] [TD="class: position"]19[/TD] [TD="class: team-name"]Birmingham[/TD] [TD="class: played, align: center"]38[/TD] [TD="class: goal-difference, align: center"]-8[/TD] [TD="class: points, align: center"]40[/TD] [/TR] [TR="class: team, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"] [TD="class: position"]20[/TD] [TD="class: team-name"]Doncaster[/TD] [TD="class: played, align: center"]38[/TD] [TD="class: goal-difference, align: center"]-23[/TD] [TD="class: points, align: center"]40[/TD] [/TR] [TR="class: team, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"] [TD="class: position"]21[/TD] [TD="class: team-name"]Charlton[/TD] [TD="class: played, align: center"]35[/TD] [TD="class: goal-difference, align: center"]-18[/TD] [TD="class: points, align: center"]35[/TD] [/TR] [TR="class: team divider, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"] [TD="class: position, bgcolor: #DCDCDC"]22[/TD] [TD="class: team-name, bgcolor: #DCDCDC"]Yeovil[/TD] [TD="class: played, bgcolor: #DCDCDC, align: center"]38[/TD] [TD="class: goal-difference, bgcolor: #DCDCDC, align: center"]-22[/TD] [TD="class: points, bgcolor: #DCDCDC, align: center"]32[/TD] [/TR] [TR="class: team, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"] [TD="class: position"]23[/TD] [TD="class: team-name"]Barnsley[/TD] [TD="class: played, align: center"]37[/TD] [TD="class: goal-difference, align: center"]-30[/TD] [TD="class: points, align: center"]32[/TD] [/TR] [TR="class: team, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"] [TD="class: position"]24[/TD] [TD="class: team-name"]Millwall[/TD] [TD="class: played, align: center"]38[/TD] [TD="class: goal-difference, align: center"]-32[/TD] [TD="class: points, align: center"]32 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Will the Wallies go to ground, never to be seen of again, or will they resurface in a couple of days, and come out fighting?
You know what's going to happen. The cut off for points deductions for entering admin is tomorrow. But we are Leeds United the rules will be rewritten and after we enter admin on Friday the football league will dock us 25 points this season, 15 next and put in place a transfer embargo. Down with the wallies we're going down with the wallies
Morning Elland. 3 plusses from yesterday - The sc&m getting spanked, the 'Wall not being in a position to lord it over us, and the crowd singing "4-1 up & you still won't sing". Heyho, we've done the jokes about autos out of range & top 6 will require some work. Last night was just poor. Even more iritating, I've just gone and bought a ticket for the Watford game. Does that make me stupid or just a masochist??
As I said on another thread all depressing stuff and really wish I could see a glimmer of hope, sadly for me the glimmer went out with Cellino being told no. Morning all btw
Did the results start changing when Austin was replaced of Captaincy? Isn't it Ross's job to keep the players heads up, and playing as a unit?
Morning all ... McD will be gone by the end of the season latest ... and unless we get another Cellino type owner this treadmill of dross will just continue ... with FFP kicking in we become less and less attractive as an investment ... we are overloaded with genuinely ordinary players ... the hurt will just go on and on and on and on Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
as for the captaincy, stop clutching at anything to make McD look bad ... we have no leaders in this squad Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
To a well known tune: Cheer up Billy's statue, oh what can it mean to a top supporter of a cr&p football teeeeam,...
5th back in November and since then we've been garbage, so this has gone on longer than since January, and it's not good enough. The manager should resign because he has obviously lost the players. The board should resign because they are just a bunch of greedy twats who think about themselves and lie to the fans. This club is a shambles and an embarrassment yet it has the best fans in the world. We don't deserve this and plenty of people should hang their heads in shame
Good morning from a very sunny Bardsey,surely there is someone out there who would like to take away our misery I didn't think we would ever sink this low again.I would like Dyche or Howe as our next manager as poor BM has not got the right leadership skills
Morning. We will come out fighting again sometime and all will be rosy. May be dead before it happens but I have faith
Why persistent with tactics and players that aren't working? Mowatt is ****ing terrible slowest 18 year old I've ever seen
