That's as may be Mighty, trouble is he's one of the reasons we're heading back there, and he'll be on Championship wages useless ****er
Warnock's fault. Final pay day for his mate. You'll notice Brown's had **** all game time since he played enough to trigger the contract clause that led to that. Never been more convinced that Warnock is just a nobody.
warnock has done well elsewhere......Its leeds its a ****e place that wont get back to the premiership for quite some time if ever......
Good Evening, chaps Here are my moot points - First seventy minutes were all Charlton - we should have been 3-0 up at half-time. Leeds played well between the seventy-fifth minute and the eighty-fith minute. There was a blatant foul and a possible handball in the build-up to Varney's goal. Powell's tactical nous is coming to the fore, and it paid off in spades when Obika came on. The Leeds fans were superb both inside and outside the ground. I had a lovely chat with a young couple from Pontefract. Both sides are staying up. Blackburn are doomed. Take care, Ponders
Not a great day at the Office. Created so few chances in the first 60 minutes. That said, Charlton didn't create that many either. Not sure the Charlton goal scorer wasn't in an offside position for the first goal. But either way, we'll stay up this season & look forward to a new Manager, getting shot of some dead wood, & bringing in a couple of players to take us forward.
Dear Swan, gloat all you want right now, but when you get relegated (beaten 4-0 at home by Cardiff to seal your fate) then that's it for your little club. No money, no players wanting to live in Swansea. Your status as a top flight club will soon become a distant memory as your club gambles everything on getting back, but with half a squad of prima donna leftovers who refuse to scrap in the Championship its lights out as you slip into administration followed by settling for your rightful place in Lge One. No, this is not me being spiteful, just sensible.
This is what all the small clubs fans fail to realise. For you to be "the new big club" you have to be amongst the big time for a prolonged period. And by that, I mean 15-20 years or more. We've been out of the top flight 9 years now, yet are still considered one of the big boys. A big fish in a little pond, if you will. A big fish that's fallen on some hard times. We are still suffering from Ridsdale's mismanagement of our finances, compounded by Bates' further mismanagement of our finances. That's all we are. What you Swansea fans are enjoying at the moment is a high point in your clubs history. Same for Wigan. Same for Reading, QPR, and same for Watford and Hull next season when they are in the Premier League. Spending your highest point in history above us at our lowest point in history does not make you a bigger or better club or a "club for the future" or "the new big boys" or any of that. Neither does it make us a small club, a tinpot club, a has-been club, or any of that. Nottingham Forest, now there is an old has-been club. When was the last time they challenged around the top or won anything? 80s I think it was? Still think they are big boys though.
"considered one of the big boys"? by whom exactly? you are no longer a sleeping giant, you aren't a giant, you aren't your history, you are what you are now. an averagely supported mid table (at best) championship club. your post is exactly the reason why so many other football fans laugh at Leeds. this honestly isn't posted with hostility cause I have no issue with Leeds as a club, I'm just utterly confused by this persistent and unwavering belief in the fallacy that LUFC are somehow big purely based on history. I was once a baby, I'm now and adult and if I sh1t in my pants I'd be judged on what I am now, not what I was.
You know what, after 40 years I don't give a **** anymore. In my lifetime, I know my Leeds will never see the pl again. I now wonder will we survive, but owners, chairman, directors, players don't care so why should i. Worst ever time as a Leeds fan
averagely supported teams don't have 1 million fans in the UK alone and 10 million internationally. All you Hull fans are the same "YE BUT YOU'RE IN TEH SAME LEAGUE AS US AND WE'RE DOING BETTER SO WE'RE THE TOP DOG IN YORKSHIRE NOW LOLOLOL". Like I said in my post, if you genuinely want to be considered as anything more than a piss poor excuse for a tin pot club then you have to spend a significant amount of time up there with the big boys, and I'm talking 15-20 years at least. Of course, the amount of time required can be reduced based on sustained success. Hull City are an averagely supported - or below averagely supported - mid table Championship club. It's not about history, it's about the fact that all clubs have ups and downs, peaks and troughs, and having a low point in your history doesn't automatically mean you're the same as those around you for now and forever more. Club size goes beyond that. The fact that being mid table in the Championship is considered a low point for the club is as good an indicator of that as any. We've been amongst the big time reasonably recently and I firmly believe one day we will be there or thereabouts again. And I don't just mean making up the numbers in the Premier League, I mean challenging for spots in Europe. You small club fans are all incapable of comprehending what it means to be a big club for one reason and one reason only - You're not one and you never will be. One of your lot on this board continually harps on about Hull's typical level being the second tier and then claiming that Leeds is the same - never factor in the fact that at your own lowest point you were looking at the Football League trap door. Nobody was telling you that you were a poorly supported (3000 a week - awful) League Two club and nothing more, and I'm sure all your fans thought "we're better than this". If you can comprehend that, then you're on the right track. Then I might not have to call you an idiot for being so stupid and failing to understand what a "big" club is.
Leeds fans were tremendous today as usual packed out the away end sang supported their side who on that performance don't deserve em. Leeds won't go down and with a decent managerial appointment I'd tip them to go up.
Thanks for setting me straight Marko. I clearly didn't comprehend your initial post so regurgitating the same laboured points in a slightly different way really cleared things up for me. 3 questions; a) how long does a 'trough' last before it's classed as a permanent and sustained state? 5yrs? 10yrs? 20yrs or never because you're Leeds so normal guidelines don't apply? 2) what's life like in the past these days? c) do you still see more Rhino's shirts than LUFC shirts walking round Leeds? d) am I now going to be called an idiot? no need to rush with your answers, I'll keep myself busy by following little old tin pot hull city on their quest for the dizzy heights of the premier league. I know you must be busy too what with wondering where your points will come from to stay in the 2nd tier, y'know just standard ponderings for the supporter of a big club. tell you what there'd be some 'big club' derbys in league 1 with the likes of Coventry and Preston, both big clubs like yourselves with a rich HISTORY of top flight football. yours, an idiot. ps even blind faith is good faith so you hang in there matey.
Leeds are not a big club, they are a TITANIC club and going the same way downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big club - don't make me laugh, how can you consider yourself a BIG club, when the fact is that you are a feeder club for Norwich a feeder club for the canaries, roflmao................. feeder for the canaries, lol..................should call yourself the "millets"....cheep cheep
