The censorship on this site is worst than the Communist press. A few responses to the 'glorious revolution' NOT, including supporting someone who's opinion has been disparaged, and they don't get on this 'banter' site. Shame on you 'Editor' whoever you are...... {Ed013's Note - There are many editors on this site, they will not post abuse, swearing and insulting posts. Some slip through the net, some get missed by the amount of posts. If it was a valid post try again}

Love to see Joey Barton in a Leeds strip could do same job as Vinnie did for us in the 80s. {Ed013's Note - He has fallen out with Warnock}
Shame oh well Shaun Derry back in a Leeds strip then
Never that scouse tweeter

It felt good for a change to travel home from Elland Road, Ok Donny hit the woodwork twice scored 2 and Lonergan pulled off a good save, At 2-0 down a Rally of bates out started,then Townsend scored it lifted the fans we started to get behind the team, Clayton equalised and suddenly there's some belief in the team and fans alike,Myself I thought we'd get the winner and deservedly so Becchio got it..Warnocks interview on Y.R. was good he sounded very excited about being our new manager, actually he talked like a manager should,good views on what some players should be doing, hopefully he'll get the best out of this squad for the remainder of the season..
18 Feb 2012 22:10:47
Martin 'Mad Dog' Allen sacked today by Notts County. If only Papa Smurf had waited a few more days.....
18 Feb 2012 21:26:05
mick jones and keith curle will be on the staff bt anyone know who else ? i think ronnie jepson was there today
Mick Jones ex Leeds striker?
Andy Leaning who is at Leeds now was Warnocks GK coach at Blades so presume he will stay
18 Feb 2012 21:23:25
Somehow we got three points today, maybe our luck has started to change. Warnock I hope will be able to sort out some of the underachievers into playing to their potential and moving us up the table. Playoffs hope back on
18 Feb 2012 21:21:51
why larry wouldnt play snodgrass in a free 'hole' role i'll never know - warnocks interview comments on Snoddy are spot n
startling obvious other than to the last coaching staff !?
He will set this team out right and bring in a leader quickly on loan - Id have any of that QPR midfield especially our ex lad
I can see him using Michael Brown more. he was a big favourite at Sheff Utd for Warnock.
I have been saying he should play in that role for years. I think he is a lot better in that position as he can just pop up in holes, take men on and cross or pass the ball e.g for clayton's goal and mccormack's one on one. Don't think he quite has the pace as an out and out winger especially when the full back and winger double on him which doesn't happen when he's in the free role.
18 Feb 2012 21:11:24
Warnock will allow most of defence to leave on loan, as he need outs to free up space on wage bill, then he can bring in defenders who can actually defend
No one will have em mate ! nah O.B will stay on and do well and Lees .... and Bromby
Lees and Aidy have got to stay, they are quality for the future.
18 Feb 2012 20:29:27
Did anyone listen to the Rangers press conference yesterday particularly the expert comment afterwards. This financial expert warned that 50% and more clubs in England are trading at a loss and are in with a strong chance of going under. I am not a big Bates fan but if he has stabilised the club and is progressively moving forward then great. Don't forget he has revamped the academy to bring through more young talent. And hate 'em or hate 'em Man. U. at one stage built success on the back of their youth team.
True but most of our academy leave as soon as a bigger club comes in, maybe because of the lack of ambition shown by bated, players like; delph, Milner, howson
It means if only we can secure promotion this season or next we have a real chance of benefiting from other clubs' bad financial position by scooping up their good players as was once done to us. Warnock's appointment is the correct move. I only see better times ahead now.
18 Feb 2012 20:21:26
I am feeling optimistic for the first time in ages
Warnock's Yorkshire radio interview post match was honest and his enthusiasm was great to hear!
Come on
Motd
The guy is a snake charmer. He's charmed the Bearded Snake and now he's charming you! and you! and you! Beware the viper. Scarborough weren't sponsored by Black Death vodka for nothing.....
Just listened to it on YouTube and am beginning to warm to him. He's already talking about 'us' and seems genuinely excited. Realistic about our chances this season, which was sensible, and seemed to have a pretty clear idea about where the problems are.
Looking forward to next season when he's had chance to make some meaningful changes.
18 Feb 2012 20:19:50
yet another 90+ min goal from Becchio. nobody can honestly doubt his value to the team right now. {Ed013's Note - In my opinion he was man of the match today}
Wrong Ed. Clayton was MOM. He played for 99 minutes and got the crowd going. Becchio had a great second half but might as well not have been on the pitch for the first 45. And Clayton's goal was a MUCH better goal - his technique is way better than anyone other than McCormack's. {Ed013's Note - Clayton had a good game in a awful team performance but for me Becchio kept the team going, he ran more than he usually does, held up the ball well, won headers and scored the winner. Each to their own}
18 Feb 2012 20:19:23
As soon as we go behind the chants of Bates out start ringing from the Kop. Even louder at two nil. But as soon as we pulled it back to 2 - 1 the kop got behind the team and they pulled it off. Does anyone spot a coincidence there?
I never head no chants {Ed013's Note - There was definitely chants of Bates out when we were losing. I have said many times that this does not help the team}
Have you maybe contemplated the outrageous idea that the chants could have galvanised the lazy feckers?
You're living on another planet if you think negative chanting boosts the players' performance.
There was a chant of "we're Leeds, and we've had enough" and that seemed to get the players going at the same time as "Bates Out" - maybe it did motivate (either that or Warnock was on the phone saying to that he'll kick their heads in if we don't get 3 points, lol)
18 Feb 2012 18:29:14
We have mr. Curle booked in at the Leeds Hilton as well mr. Warnock on Monday lunch
18 Feb 2012 18:25:27
Mr warnocks first job,get robbie savage out of retirement
Lol no
Is that the same Robbie Savage who branded our fans animals when they threw hot dogs @ him (allegedly) at the Arsenal game lol
18 Feb 2012 18:23:00
After the game in the tunnel apparently Diouf spat in Mc'Cormack's face and Macca headbutted him! YES MC'CORMACK!:D {Ed013's Note - Diouf is a disgrace to football, but I must admit that it was hilarious when the fans were singing to Bruce to knock him out and they would pay the fine!}
It's about time that something was done about Diouf,he should have banned from playing years ago. I can't see the powers that be, having the ball's, to ever deal with this scum.
If Warnock was in the tunnel he'd probably nutted him too! he's not a fan of Diouf either
I loved singing that :) and good on McCormack (hope it was Rab C Nesbitt style)
It ok saying good on Mccormack for headbutting him but did he get a red card from the ref .as far as i know he can still be sent off in the tunnel
18 Feb 2012 17:03:36
3.2 get in
18 Feb 2012 17:03:08
Lucky lucky once again we always seem to start playing when where behind but the main thing is we have won at the end of the day
18 Feb 2012 17:02:49
Please let this be the start of something great!
18 Feb 2012 16:23:53
Would love to be at Warnocks first training session. Where he will prob line all the players up and go.. You're crap, you're crap, you're crap, you're crap, bye bye.
We won't have a team if he says bye to them all though will we?
Astute point that last one.
18 Feb 2012 16:00:34
Why is it every game our midfield are always second best clayton needs a keep up the arse cant wait for warnock to take charge he will soon sort him out along with quite a few other players
What did you words taste like?
Probably an armchair supporter. Clayton was immaculate throughout. Fought for everything, passed well, scored a cracking goal, encouraged the crowd to get behind the team. For the first 45 he and Ross Mac were the only players worthy of the shirt. Either you weren't at the game, in which case keep your opinions to yourself, or you were at the game and know nothing about football, in which case keep your opinions to yourself.
18 Feb 2012 15:55:33
should play a 4-1-2-1-2, would be very effective as shown when norwich used it last year, nunez could become a key player, when playing behind the strikers
lonergan
smith - odea - lees - pugh
clayton
snodgrass white/townsend/rodgers
nunez
mccormack becchio
18 Feb 2012 15:51:50
Yet again poor first half against bottom of the table donny hope warnock goes down at half time to tell the players to pull there finger out
18 Feb 2012 14:53:10
The right decision.at last bates has shown that he wants to move forward.it's not cheap inexperienced option,it's the opposite.good luck mr warnock and its nice to see bates thank redfearn and guarantee him his job back,even those struggled.this season too late I think foreplay offs but more positive now..shrew leeds
I love foreplay offs.
18 Feb 2012 14:37:15
Team today..
Lonergan, Bruce, Lees, O'Dea, White, Snodgrass, Pugh, Clayton, Townsend, McCormack, Becchio. Subs: M Taylor, Connolly, Rogers, Brown, Forssell.
Interesting, has warnock had an input?
18 Feb 2012 14:10:43
Neil Warnock as manager great decision to get a man who has repeatedly publicly slagged of our club at any opportunity.
To the fans who think it's a great decision because he's allegedly great at getting promotion, take a look at his football league career history spanning over 20 years.
* 6 promotions - 4 through the play offs and 2 automatic
* 1 from the 4th tier
* 2 from the 3rd tier
* 3 from the 2nd tier
Looks like a good record on paper except when you look closely at it.
Promoted with Q.P.R with billions behind him not too difficult then sacked when in premiership because as usual he would have relegated them.
Promoted with Sheff U after 7 years and immediately relegated.
Promoted with Plymouth, following season finished 19th 5 points above relegation.
Promoted with Huddersfield, quit immediately and Huddersfield came 8th the following season.
Promoted with Notts county in the consecutive seasons and once again after reaching premiership immediately relegated again.
Record also includes 3 seasons fighting relegation with Crystal Palace after the previous season Crystal Palace were in the play offs, relegated with Bury and finished 3 points above relegation with Oldham.
Overall not very good now in fairness is it and on top of it all he's probably in the top 10 most hated men in all of football.
To everyone who says stop criticizing and get behind the team as always I will support Leeds to the last no matter what but am fully entitled to my opinion and I still fully believe we will reach the playoffs but only if our defence is sorted out.
I seriously think that if we had given Jose mourino , Harry rednap or bought don revie back from the grave there would still be moaners like you - given his experience ther is NO better manager we could have realistically hope for - get a grip and put aside your petty feelings against Warmock
Odd isn't it how many times your post included the word PROMOTED
Why are there always people like you willing to try & put a dampener on things, let's all just get behind the new manager & support the team like Leeds fans do, with passion & heart, MOT.
This is one of the most depressing posts I've ever seen on this site... MOT
I'm the original poster and surprise surprise dopes commenting thinking that just because they never say a bad word about anyone it makes them such great supporters. It's people like you who make us Lees fans look stupid because we accept everything that happens and get on with it. For once just tell the truth we have been a joke of a club over the last few years that said it will never dampen my love for the club but I believe in telling the truth if we play well credit deserved and that works both ways if we play bad so please stop all the rubbish "die-hard" fans that everyone is great just be honest.
The word promotion used probably one less than RELEGATION MAYBE??
Oh yeah and to the poster who used Warnock in the same sentence as Mourinho and Revie, that seriously must be one of the worst statements I've ever seen.
To original poster ...you sad sad sad sad person - go away we dont need misery guts like you around ER psychic vampires - all pessimists get yer coats and do one
I have seen some truly ridiculous posts on here but the original poster has taken things to a new level {Ed013's Note - I think most fans are on side with the Warnock signing, lets stop the negatives and get behind him and the team. His interview after the game was very refreshing}
Check his record mate, i think you will find he has got 8 team promoted - FACT.
Also i am BATES biggest critic - but he has now delivered what most of us fans wanted an experience manager at this level. So time to stop the negativeness and back the whole club, and that includes Bates.
Lets all MOT once more.
Get a life
I agree with, and respect the opinions of, the original poster. Warnock has success at lower league level, but it's hit and miss. Bury no, in-bred Sheffielders yes. Don't get carried away during the honeymoon period - if he was the man to do what we all crave, why has Papa Smurf only given him an 18 month contract? Doesn't sound like a resounding endorsement to me. And to all those naysayers to the original poster, respect other peoples opinions. What'll you all be saying when Warnock thinks it's a good idea to give the quiet guy at the back a chance, Paynter I think I heard his name was......
Warnock s 18 month contract makes a lot of sense financially. Both sides can renew or re negotiate if things go well or if they go badly we won t end up paying out stupid money in compo, like most clubs do.
On the promotion issue from the original poster, please can you look up and find how many other available managers have experienced 1promotion, never mind several. To my knowledge there aren t that many out there... Remember, at this level, winning promotion is the equivalent of winning silverware. So we ve just hired someone who s guided 8 teams to success.
Sh$t, we re lucky Real Madrid didn t get in first... An astute bit of business Captain Birdseye..... The lifetime supply of your fishy fingers must have been a deal clincher.
18 Feb 2012 13:45:43
Wonder if the 'morons' still think Bates is trying to ruin the club now after bringing in a proven manager?
I actually think the 'morons' have helped. I reckon Warnock's appointment might not have happened this season without the unrest.
In any case that's a pretty pathetic view. I wasn't one of the marchers and I don't chant 'Bates Out' because I want to sing for the team. Fact is though, we're all entitled to express our opinions, especially when we're paying £600+ to see 'rabbit in the headlights' Redfearn mismanaging a team (and I know it was dumped on him - I feel sorry for Redders). Bates HAD to appoint a proper manager because he was looking at crowds of 15,000 next season and serious money problems.
If Bates has now realised he can't continue to ignore a very large, very unhappy section of his paying customers then surely that's a good thing.
18 Feb 2012 13:38:26
there is a god after all best decsition bates has made now lets get behind them it will take a bit of time
18 Feb 2012 12:26:57
Anybody think Derry back on loan gets on well with warnock.Strong central midfielder to protect back four.If hes not a regular under Hughes just thought this might happen.Any thoughts.
Derrys gone a get ya derrys gone a get ya loved that song brilliant i felt suicidal yesterday today feels like ive won the lottery
I was at ER this afternoon and a person with strong connections to ER said he had seen Derry in the Banqueting Suite. I don't know if it is true but he has no reason to be untruthful.
Derry and Chris Morgan from Sheff U both leaders on and off the pitch, get em in
18 Feb 2012 12:12:42
Anybody know of any streams for today's game?
Yes - at Elland Road. You go to the ground, buy a ticket, sing for the lads...
18 Feb 2012 12:19:32
I have been accused of wearing rose tinted glasses all season but Wazzock??
21st century Brain Clunt in my view :-((
I do hope I am wrong
LeedsTaff
I think your in the minority with your opinion - love him or hate him Warnock is what Leeds need right now - a kick ass guy who can motivate players and knows the division - Come on let's give him a chance and get behind him and show him what it's like to be LEEDS
Leeds and colin deserve each other
Isnt that the type of manager we need ? Unliked kick ass ,no nonsense ? All I know is all the over paid dead wood should be putting there houses on the market and finding their cv 's because most are going to div 2 and can rot there,the gravy t train has derailed !
18 Feb 2012 12:11:47
First thing Warnock will do is get a central defender and a striker on loan
Qpr wait for an approach
Plus shaun derry and rob hulse.
Look out for Hulse and Sh*ttu then if he loans from QPR
18 Feb 2012 12:11:36
Finally Warnock has been appointed. Maybe he can get the under achieving team to play to their potential and put in a great effort on promotion.
18 Feb 2012 11:53:59
'Bates in, Bates in'. What are those fans saying now. It was supposed to be Redfearn till the end of the season for all sorts of reasons. I have consistently said Bates is in business but that doesn't mea he wont support the manager. He just lost confidence in SG's ability to bring in players that could takeus forward. He did support SG. That's why we were over budget with too many average and below average players.Having said that its interesting that we now have a chairman and manager who in the past have admitted their 'dislike' of Leeds and their fans. Interesting days ahead.
My thoughts indeed .....
Another 44 days?
18 Feb 2012 11:36:21
Room for optimism round ER today. lets get behind the boys, and Redfearn to thank him for what he has tried to do. Warnock is a great appointment. Lets get behind the boys today MOT
18 Feb 2012 11:34:22
Hope whatever team is picked today give it their all to impress Warnock, come on Leeds let's get going!
18 Feb 2012 11:31:01
I personally, would like to THANK BATES for this great appointment of Warnock. Yes, I don't like Warnock BUT He is the BEST person for the job.
let's get behind the team and MARCH ON TOGETHER Gj
Ps I have no link for todays Leeds game but i do for Chelsea,everton, millwall, norwich and forrest Well done Master Bates, can we now have some funds plz Gj
18 Feb 2012 11:28:00
At last we have a manager who takes no nonsense, leeds need a strong figure and I tell you why, Leeds are the only team in the championship who every other team is gunning for, it is a fact every team raises there game when they play Leeds, warnock knows how to deal with players in that situation he will not stand for players who pass the buck, he knows what it takes, Grayson was ok but not strong enough. Qpr have made a big mistake, this guy is perfect for Leeds and the supporters will love him. Did you see Leeds at Coventry, now come on Leeds fans, that performance is not Leeds players wanting to play for Leeds , warnock will sort this bunch out. I am now looking forward with at least some hope. Kevin (keighley).
18 Feb 2012 11:27:19
Neil Warnock has been appointed as the new manager of Leeds United.
The former QPR boss has agreed a deal with the Elland Road club which will take him up to the end of the 2012/13 season.
Warnock has previously taken both QPR and Sheffield United out of the Championship, something chairman Ken Bates will be hoping he can repeat with Leeds.
Wanrock told the club's official website: "I feel I have one big challenge left in me and believe Leeds is a club that should be in the Premier League. I want to be the man who is able to deliver this for a set of fans who never cease to amaze me with their numbers and their loyalty.
"Having met with Ken Bates it was an easy decision to take up the challenge and with his support, we share the same vision of getting Leeds United in the Premier League."
sporting life.
18 Feb 2012 11:24:18
Come on everyone get down to elland road and come and sing your hearts out for the lads mot 4 life
18 Feb 2012 11:23:14
The atmosphere at Elland Road today will be electric.....just like it used to be!
Apparently Warnock will be there today.......let's forget about what's gone on in the past few months and get right behind the lads.....show him what it's like to manage the biggest club he's ever been in charge of! He'll love it!
And for any of you who are reading this site and are wondering whether or not to go to the match today.....get yourself down there.
Positive news at last! MOT!
I am coming over for the forest game,I wasn't looking forwards to it to be honest,but now I AM come on lads let's unite and show why we believe our club to be the best MOT

End of next season
It says he contracted till the end of 2012/13 season which is next season!.
18 Feb 2012 10:43:06
I for one am glad that warnock is in charge. Shows a bit of ambition for a change. Welcome to leeds me warnock. {Ed013's Note - I bet some of the players are bricking themselves! Its time to earn your money. Lets hope the hard earned cash that the fans put into the club will finally get their rewards and see a motivated team}
Agree with ed he will kick their lazy butts
18 Feb 2012 10:28:13
Warnock named as new boss by YEP I for one am happy with it, anybody else? {Ed020's Note - great news!}
Great news,one in the eye for all the cynics who said Bates would go for the cheap option,now get behind Warnock and the boys,and Bates as well.

It looks like we're gonna get Warnock after all, pic in Sun shows them talking in monaco, would love to see Clark to come in as no.2 with view to take over in year or two.
18 Feb 2012 09:59:52
Have to agree with previous guy I have been season ticket holder at ER for a while now and when I wasn't came to all the games I could because there is no other crowd like a Leeds united crowd, not many things make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up but 30 odd thousand Leeds fans singing their hearts out is enough to make any red blooded man a bit Dewey eyed"..........unfortunately of late there has been no atmosphere and the lads must sense it so this is my shout.......the first game we were in division one we had minus 15 points and the world was against us, but we sung and never stopped all through the game I was proud to say I was a Leeds fan, let's do it again, f*** Bates let's concentrate on the boys and support every kick MOT Leeds unti I die!
Well said mate you've almost put a tear in my eye, MOT
Good post mate,its the Bates out brigade ruining the atmosphere at Elland Rd,and yes it does affect the players,time to give it a rest now,great timing too,should give players and fans a lift,if you still want to protest.FO to Blackburn
18 Feb 2012 08:28:15
come on ken cheer us all up get warnock in asap he will lift everybody even if its just is mad outbursts least the mans passionate
I agree no one as to like him, but hopefully will get a couple of new faces in and let a few go and then kick the rest up the arse!! he will get the passion back at elland road and we should all get behind him. hope he gives refearn a chance in the backroom!!! best out there for us MOT
My first response we have now got him so lets get behind him!!!! mot
18 Feb 2012 04:24:59
Lonergan
Smith. O brien (C), Lees, White
Snods, Clayton, Pugh, Townsend.
Bechio, McCormack
Subs.. Rogers, Nunez, Brown, O Dear, Taylor.
Donny, have to, I repeat, have to, be there for a sound beating.... Whilst this team is a little weak in the defense, particularly on the flanks, O brien' s experience as restored captain should help... Also, should be strong on the attack. Pugh sits back covering, giving Snods, Clayts and the young fast lads on the wings a chance to put em on a plate for Macca and the big blond b$gger... 4-0 Leeds, roared on by 30k... With Warnock announced as new manager after the game... Fish, chips and mushy peas for tea.
3, 2, 1.... I m back in the room. {Ed020's Note - That! Would make my day!!!}
I agree and really hope its warnock none of us leeds fans have to like him but he is by far the best out there and if papa gets him we should forget papa for a bit and get the hell back in elland rd mot
Sorry, I meant to say .... Before the game...
18 Feb 2012 01:09:52
I hope all leeds fans take note of what the people who are running the debacle at portsmouth say that nearly half the clubs in the championship are running at a loss,we may not be very well run on the pitch but at least we are off it.
And we make money, the report from the fa and goverment says 40% of championship club wages are well over 100% of income, so that means at least 8 teams at risk of being in the same position at least! take 3 off who will be getting parachute payments. we will not be able to do that given the cva in place as we still have to report in to the receiver until the cva as gone. not sure when this is but this will effect what we spend. lets hope warnock is in and cva is over this year and some new investment comes in an off we go MOT
18 Feb 2012 00:13:10
Let's get behind warnock then and make this 1991 part 2

i know the sun is a joke but pictures r pictures, abit better than my mates cat said this or that.
Why, who is a better candidate than him for what we want! and to get promotion! no one, put aside wether you like him as no one does, but he is passionate and is track record is second to none! forget going back down that is only a problem when we get there
