Leeds Banter Archive February 21 2012

Lets get this straight.
All football organisations act very strongly against players spitting.
Anyone retaliating may risk a ban but are more likely to face a large fine as football associations see this as the ultimate provocation by a player.
If a ban does occur it will be a 1 game ban with the person spitting facing a much lengthier lay off and a significant fine.
Personally I think the only person taking some time out will be Diouf with other players getting a severe warning and both clubs fined .

Rumour has it M Owen might be allowed to go out on loan !! Do we want him ??

I would have him but think someone like west ham will get him as bates wont want to pay the amount of money they would want

We should get him. He still has the ability. He scored 2 goals from 2 chances against us

He's a crock that we don't need another crock! {Ed020's Note - too old, too injury prone, too expensive. i agree, no thanks.}

Last I heard he didn't want to go on loan because he quite likes benchwarming and playing the odd exhibition match whilst taking in a big wage...

As for the post most teams scored against us under Grayson.

Even Paynter got 2 against us.

Neil Warnock:

Andy Lonergan
Adam Smith Andy O'Brien Tom Lees Clint Hill
Shaun Derry
Robbie Rogers Adam Clayton Aidy White

Robert Snodgrass
Ross McCormack

Oh yes.

I can't see becchio getting dropped .rogers will be out with concussion . we probably play 4-4-2 but dimand formation other than that we could play a 4-3-1-2 but it all depends on who's brought in over the next few weeks

He sounds keen on playing Bechio and impressed by townsend.

I think he will have mccormack as an inside forward on the right wing and play townsend left, with snoddy in the hole behind luciano, then have a DM sitting whether that be brown or derry and give clayton the liscence to go forward. Makes it more fluid and balanced if it goes that way. but i think it is only possible if the defence is sorted out and are solid at the back...

So basically you would play Larry's team with two additions. One who will get sent off before the games finished. If Larry had got rid of Paynter, Connolly, Bruce, O' Brien, Varynnen, Forsell, O' Dear, Brown and bought 4 reasonable quality players we would have been in the top three now.

How is this team any better, with the addition of Derry?! He'll do a job but he's not exactly a world beater & he needs the right players around him, he had that at QPR last season. Plus he's getting on abit, we need a quality young player in there if we are hoping to make an impact on games!

I would be playing Bruce in front of Lees at Centre-back. I am not Becchio's biggest fan but I can't see him being dropped and being replaced by Rogers. Also, I thought it was just emergency loans that are open now so if that is the case how can we suddenly be signing all these new players, or have I missed something?

Dont name any team sheets, Derry might give them away

Lol @ the teamsheet poster - nice one

What Happened with the team sheet had nothing to do with Derry it was old wobbly eyes he passed it to Palace thinking it was the 4th official

Anybody going to our game with Hull today ?? Paynter is in starting 11, Hope he starts scoring.
as Ross McC will get a big ban, maybe 5 games Gj

Ross won't get a ban!

Firstly ross will not get a ban and secondly its behind closed doors friendly anyway!

Sorry i didn't know it was a behind closed doors game, .was just told about it.. Gj

Why wont Mccormack get a ban . he head butted another player . he will get a ban if the ref has seen it or if it is on camera

Gj ya silly sausage, we are playing Hull for real at the KC stadium on the 6th March - you'll be able to go to that one though!
