Leeds banter 3

28 Apr 2024 14:49:47
Afternoon siblings, salutations. We'll, seems to me this season we have gone full circle on this form. Initially portents of doom and lucky to survive to heightened optimism and joy at our run. Now back to criticism and frustration. Sniping at and scoring points off fellow family ain't going to achieve anything, negativity only breeds negativity. This season was all about steadying the ship and rebuilding. But we are in a great place. Should we end up in the playoffs then our destiny is still in our hands. Now is the time for unity and support, the ride ain't finished so don't jump off. We are Leeds and whatever happens we always will be, we always take the hard road but that is why success is so satisfying. UTWDTP I am off to the pub 😁❤.

28 Apr 2024 15:15:56
Sugar coating the situation or disagreeing

The only people that can sort it are DF and the players.

28 Apr 2024 15:48:42
Vid are you pals with Rishi by any chance? 🤣.

28 Apr 2024 16:06:43
Chrissy. don't mention the 'R" word 🤣.

Maybe pals with the Dalai Lama though 😀

But in all seriousness Vid you are a good uber positive chap fair play
whilst still very refreshingly giving yesterday a fair, reasoned critique on QPR match.

Fair play.

28 Apr 2024 16:11:27
Lol, absolutely not Chris, just a bit sort happy to still be alive on a friday night rather than being bitter I didn't win the Euro millions. Pink an breathing is always a good place to start.

28 Apr 2024 16:20:07
CC 👋👍.

28 Apr 2024 17:45:23
I just don’t get it why is it that having an opinions on here that are not in line with others is negative criticism frustration point scoring and all the other ridiculous you not a Leeds fan, it’s a bit like politics you see it one way we see it another As negative fan see it’s doom we had it in our hand after a bad start come back after a Break and we are rubbish we just need to win to games and who knows. I will now be very negative I don’t see us in the PL next season and believe it will be a crap next season so post what you like about being negative because I don’t give a monkeys.

28 Apr 2024 18:10:37
Hear hear Whitey very well said.

28 Apr 2024 18:10:48
And there ladies and gentleman is self suffering in its full glory, transferrance of one's own angst onto another to alleviate the frustration.

28 Apr 2024 18:49:17
Who would have known that you had a touch of Sigmund Freud also in you Vid, 🤣

Hark at you, knowing so much about me, despite not even knowing what I even look like 🤣🤣🤣

Superman hadn't those powers pal.

28 Apr 2024 19:08:13
Good post Whiteman, I for one do not think you are being negative and I respect your opinion and in some ways I agree. To be honest I haven’t got a clue about what will happen this season never mind next season but what I do know is that I will still be a Leeds fan no matter where we are! 🤷🤷 Good post though mate 👍👍.

28 Apr 2024 19:13:05
Absolutely love Vids posts. Puts things into perspective.
A lovely gracious reply too Baz. I’m proud of ya mate.

28 Apr 2024 19:57:52
Thank you all for your comments, for what is the worth of anything without sharing x.

28 Apr 2024 20:41:17
Cheers 🍻 Corky.

29 Apr 2024 06:28:00
So if you want to see everything including when we lose in a negative way then that’s acceptable but if someone like myself who doesn’t it’s not acceptable?
To explain Whiteman, in football sometimes you lose or draw games, it does happen.
Unlike you Woody I can’t respect fans who don’t support their club when we have a bad period and are only singing when we are winning.
Fickle.

29 Apr 2024 15:01:34
We are not all of the same opinion about the why’s and wherefores OP but we are all Leeds fans! I’m a very optimistic half glass full man but even I am dumbfounded as to how we have ended up so defeated from the jaws of victory, it has been such a capitulation since the international break that a few of us are scratching our heads in disbelief! There are some on here that will say they predicted this but it is what it is and like I posted no matter what I will always believe in Leeds and support them in every way through thick and thin in ups and downs! 👍👍.

29 Apr 2024 17:29:27
Woody excellent post mate even us meaning me negative are still a true supporter of out club but some would still say we were in the premier League if we were in division two can’t see the wood for the trees never mind you have to pity pity them they still thing gold grows on trees.

29 Apr 2024 17:34:35
OP never ask for your respect I don’t as I said give a monkeys what you or anyone else things a true supporter would see the good and bad about the things they support unfortunately you brain can’t cope with that😌.

29 Apr 2024 19:32:14
Woody and Whitey good rational reasonable, logical, sensible non blinkered posts.

29 Apr 2024 20:59:29
Thanks Baz👍.

29 Apr 2024 22:25:20
LUIFC 🤍💛💙 Leeds United Immune From Criticism. You love 😘, OP?

30 Apr 2024 06:38:55
Criticism where it’s due, Farke does not deserve the slamming of some on here.
If we did not have the chaos that Farke unfortunately inherited at the start of the season, we would have won this league.

Sadly there are some of you who are blinkered in your views and only want to see it your way so that you can moan and complain about realistically a very good season considering.

I’m not looking for you to change your opinions because I would be wasting my time. Most of you who are against our coach have made your feelings quite clear for most of this season and you quite clearly also want him sacked. I’m absolutely 100% certain that if we are not promoted this season, we will be the next.

For me I can see that even if we are promoted now, there will be some who will still find a way to complain and moan and demand that Farke be sacked.
That will be all down to your blind and unfair so called criticism.

28 Apr 2024 13:41:44
What happened to piroe?
I've been think why has Joel not worked this season at Leeds.
Was it extra pressure? A semi big move to a big club can get into the head of a player. Expectations are higher and the pressure a footballer puts on himself can be greater.
Is it the different system or different role?
Having watched his goals for Swansea there are a lot of him just stood in the box an the ball played to him or arriving in the box late. Maybe our players are just not looking for him in the same way.
Being a big fish in a little pond at Swansea Maybe their forwards looked always to play him in?
Maybe he hasn't integrated into the group very well or is a bit of an outsider.
Or maybe the intensity of playing at a top side means he cannot find the same space as he did.
Anyway it has not worked. I think most of us had him top scorer this year. Will farke persist with him next term or is he destined for a loan etc.

28 Apr 2024 14:14:00
How about putting DF out on loan next season!

28 Apr 2024 17:19:28
🪝 Yes and to your neck of the woods.

28 Apr 2024 13:26:56
The form table for last five puts us in bottom 2 of league. That is not stuttering it is total collapse.

Amazing we still have small chance of autos ( c'mon you skyblues)

Playoffs at minimum where we really shouldn't fear anyone - get some confidence back into the boys somehow Farky.

28 Apr 2024 19:09:15
Totally agree 1970 👍👍.

28 Apr 2024 20:49:04
It is a shocking stat! 😳🫣.

28 Apr 2024 12:15:59
Erik ten Hag says Manchester United are "one of the most dynamic and entertaining teams" in the Premier League.

Just thought everyone could do with a good laugh on a Sunday afternoon.
You're welcome!

28 Apr 2024 12:48:59
Interesting timing to ridicule an Ambrosia manager when a former Ambrosia player (also Canary which may help further) largely gets to determine the remaining Championship auto spot and it could go in our favour.

28 Apr 2024 13:03:18
Entertaining they are for other fans to ridicule.

George is correct re timing.

28 Apr 2024 13:09:51
Yes bright I've been most entertained by the capitulation to lesser teams this season.
I very much how they let Chelsea beat them a few Thursdays ago.
All they need for next season is some red noses. A small car on which the wheels and doors fall off. Oh and a couple dozen buckets of confetti.

28 Apr 2024 13:34:18
Agree white. Long may it continue. Both mighty Man U and chelski.
Truth be told. Neither will be in top 4 for many many many seasons.
Frigging hilarious.

28 Apr 2024 15:58:09
Timing is irrelevant. You two just wanna sit in a puddle of cack and bring everyone else into it. Robins is nowt to do with Man Utd anymore, nor do Man U have anything to do with our division, so just keep floating down poop creek, and hold yer bitterness for whatever, or whoever, it is to yourselves. Don’t drag us into your dirty protests! 🫣🧐😤.

28 Apr 2024 16:53:44
Robins? Paul McKenna more pertinently.

Anyways Bright as I said as your " boxing coach " I do promise to not throw in the towel when you step into the ring with Big Mike Tyson

Unless you change yer mind 🤣.

28 Apr 2024 17:18:37
Drag? You do that yourself. You the smoker 🚬. 🤣.

28 Apr 2024 18:33:00
Baz I want to help you train Brighty too. 🤣🤣.

28 Apr 2024 19:43:30
Dear oh dear…….

28 Apr 2024 11:00:34
If we do end up in the play offs and despite our horrible form I believe we will still go up.
Southampton and Brom are on a losing streak. Norwich and Hull hard to beat but not exactly winning all around them.
Leeds v Norwich final?

28 Apr 2024 11:24:23
Tip for the day Corky : don't put a monkey on it.

28 Apr 2024 12:03:43
I agree Cork, Norwich WBA and Southampton all stuttering. Also the pressure on Ipswich to win or win and draw their next two games will be ramping up big on them. That’s not saying the pressure hasn’t got to our team either but just to say nothing is decided yet.
Baz just wants us to fail because it suits his agenda and that is very evident.
I couldn’t give a monkeys what he and any other poster wants to write to trash our team and coach because supporting and not degrading my team is all I want to do.

28 Apr 2024 12:22:00
if it goes to playoffs then we have as good a chance as anyone else and it can be super exciting in knock out games so I would look forward to it.

None of the top teams seem to have done well under pressure this year.

28 Apr 2024 12:23:41
The return of the caustic soda master! Good of you to join us. Farke tactically inept. I support my team by revealing the truth emphasized across the board from many content creators (some of whom held in high regard by the 49ers) .

28 Apr 2024 13:02:16
That’s your opinion Mr. I Give up, I only support my team when we are winning. That’s is the truth George, you are incapable of supporting your team win or lose.
You are just like a child who didn’t get all the presents he wrote on his Santa’s list.
Got no time for fickle fans like you.

28 Apr 2024 13:07:41
Hmm another rant from OP; error strewn as ever too.

28 Apr 2024 13:09:43
OP stuttering 😂😂because they have nothing to achieve there in the playoffs they will be up for it them you will see if you can’t now.

28 Apr 2024 13:19:46
Any sensible comments from you OP on the Leeds "performance" at QPR?

28 Apr 2024 13:54:00
We didn’t play well Baz, it’s not rocket science, nerves are affecting our young players, that’s it.
Whiteman people like you only see things one way, basically you blinkered in your loser mentality.
I leave you to wallow in your perpetual misery.

28 Apr 2024 14:12:10
Leeds lose 4 nil ; OP one line glib assessment ' we didn't play well " 🤔

Any reasoning at all OP? 🙄.

28 Apr 2024 14:32:17
Southampton lost 5-0 for no good reason than that what I’ve already explained, it happens at this pressure point of the season. It happens like it is in the Premiership, you accuse others of being naive Baz but you are perhaps the naive one?
The knee jerk reaction of wanting to now sack Farke and get rid of certain players is typical of certain fans who know or understand very little about professional football and competing in very competitive hard fought leagues like the Championship.

28 Apr 2024 15:09:59
Southampton were playing best team in league Champions Leicester OP . Leeds were playing playing QPR.

Entirely disingenuous of you to blame that abomination solely on alleged " nerves " of a bunch of 20 something internationals.

Conspicuously not even a mere mention from you of DF team selection, game management to change it before it fell apart so quickly

Nor no mention of player desire, application, player in fighting on pitch. lack of team spirit.

28 Apr 2024 16:03:48
Rise well above the pits of doom OP. You make a fair assessment that most agree with on here. The negative attention you appear to have drawn this season from the Chuckle brothers is totally unwarranted, and it’s great that you continue to post despite their best efforts to belittle you! Keep going fella!
MOT.

28 Apr 2024 16:22:15
Totally agree baz zero effort or desire farke needs to up his and their game.

28 Apr 2024 16:38:50
Indeed Stubs disingenuous and nonsensical to suggest otherwise

Au contraire Bright sorry fella but it is indeed wholly disingenuous of OP and you. You won't find many if any who will concur with " nerves ". as the one and only issue .

certainly not any of the many Leeds United content creators.

28 Apr 2024 17:22:53
OP I was right all along with tiredness and rotation. Posted it in good time and before the content creators. Just admit it instead of disguising my excellent advice before the event into your propagandizing mendacious invention.

28 Apr 2024 18:58:09
If our lads were suffering nerves, What's story then with QPR, fighting relegation?

Is that a stroll on beach in budgie smugglers?

Or were they all dosed up on xanax as they didn't seem too nervous, just far far hungrier for win.

28 Apr 2024 20:47:44
Spot on reasoning Chris.

28 Apr 2024 20:54:09
Disingenuous? How? That one puzzles me, as certainly honesty is something I practice and preach, and was shown to do so since nipperdom….? Baffled.

29 Apr 2024 21:34:09
QPR did the Champs Leicester as well don't forget. It happens.

28 Apr 2024 10:44:10
I think the playoffs will test farkes management skills or lack of, personally don't think he has it in him last few games have shown that something is missing qpr game especially.

28 Apr 2024 11:27:04
Agteed 2 stubs.

28 Apr 2024 13:11:57
Stubs I fully agree we will see if he has what it takes. Because if we don’t it will be a repeat of the beginning of this season with lots of players leaving for sure.

28 Apr 2024 20:55:10
That last bit is a definite Whitey, but I think we wanted most of them to leave last year. This year would be a bit different I reckon?

28 Apr 2024 08:28:00
According to Deloitte Sports Business Group, reaching the top flight via the Championship play-off final will earn the winner an increase in revenue of at least £170million across the next three seasons.

Keep the faith Boys and girls.

Speaking of which, didn't there used to be a lady on this forum? Can't remember her moniker but she was definitely a laydee.

28 Apr 2024 11:46:50
2 sheds. I remember her name but if I provide it it will probably only provoke a fierce backlash from an antipodean and eastern European perspective.

28 Apr 2024 11:56:16
Liverlass I believe Sheds.

28 Apr 2024 12:07:22
Alf is correct. She has her own blog now under her true first name.

28 Apr 2024 16:09:23
Can always rely on Alf to come up with the answer! Unlike the one who just comes up with more guff from a playground.

28 Apr 2024 18:40:36
That's it Alf Liverlass, good memory.

28 Apr 2024 03:06:50
Let's say Tractors lose 1-0 to skyblues thus making there goal difference 8 worse than ours.
We then assume that our shower of sh&*$#te can beat Saints at home by a lucky own goal - thus we are promoted,

But not so fast, this is LUFC and you can bet your life the Tractor boys will trounce the Dog botherers, scoring there 10th and final goal in the 8th minute of injury time.

I am actually not bothered if we go up, at least in this league we can be competitive, in Prem we would have no chance of actually winning owt.

28 Apr 2024 06:49:12
1970 A return to the EPL what we would "win" is superior finances enabling stadium 🏟️ expansion. We'd have to hope we finish 17th or better. In absence of our ascension, we'll forever be a Championship club possibly vying for promotion each season but watching our talent get snapped up requiring replacements difficult to find and entice. This dynamic would actually render us a mid table Championship club because the likes of Rutter, Gnonto and Summerville will have gone creating a 70 g/ a season void. Let's try "win" our stadium 🏟️ expansion therefore.

28 Apr 2024 06:52:46
I don’t think we are able to compete at the top level.
I think our best players will be on their way. With what is left we are certs to come back down.
As much as I hate to say it, think we need another 1 or 2 seasons in champ. Regroup and rebuild and get a settled team ready for the prem.

28 Apr 2024 08:02:44
Deluded Aus if that's what you think we "need".

28 Apr 2024 09:03:43
Think having a bigger stadium fixes everything eh.
Only one deluded here matey 👍.

28 Apr 2024 09:21:27
Whilst I think we would currently struggle in the EPL with the current squad, you would hope with the huge increase in revenue, the 49’s would sanction an upgrade on the talent. You would hope lessons would be have been learned from last time.

To be fair, going down last season only occurred because of the total capitulation in the last 10 games. To that point, there had been 5-6 teams worse than us for the most part. Players checked out a long time before the season ended.

It would be no where near as much fun, and we would (as fans) be grieving most of the time, but I think we would survive…at a “Brentford” level if we did go up.

28 Apr 2024 10:55:56
Leeds do seem to struggle at the last hurdle.
Maybe they should apply for a shorter season, there must be a clause within the Equality Act 🤣🤣.

28 Apr 2024 11:02:53
Ani ; to survive at a Brentford level would require a good ( and savvy) coach

More Thomas Frank ( less Farke)

28 Apr 2024 11:14:01
It a funny of game if we do go up as post above are best players will be gone we stay down they will be gone who do you think that this club can bring in to keep it up in the PL? We are no longer a club any quality players will want to join the only players we seen to get are ones that there club no longer need or don’t play them we will need massive investment which are owners don’t have and yes I know they have billions but on paper.

28 Apr 2024 11:49:46
Aus, so please elucidate us on the impending SCC (squad cost control rules) and how they don't take into consideration the largest revenue source of all, gate receipts, when determining spending power. What a 😊👋.

28 Apr 2024 13:08:58
I don’t need to. You made the ridiculous post about bigger stadium etc.
gotta be in mid prem or just wasting money.
I know expanding elland rd a love child of yours Porgie.
But timing is everything. And now it ain’t the time.

28 Apr 2024 17:16:40
Yeah antipodean. Let's wait until construction costs go up even more along with player valuations.

27 Apr 2024 22:06:09
well done Hull - we are promoted for at least a couple more days.

27 Apr 2024 22:52:18
It's a lifeline for us, just hoping Coventry can beat them. Ipswich are the favourites but they will be edgy on Tuesday.

27 Apr 2024 22:54:20
Yes hull did OK. They played better against us but deserved the point. still Ipswich won't give up. See if Coventry have anything else in the tank for the game Tuesday.

27 Apr 2024 23:05:30
Fancied Hull to beat Ipswich,

but overall Ipswich should have won on play

All down to Coventry bringing their A game or even B game.

28 Apr 2024 02:11:26
Was watching earlier today the excellent The West Yorkshire Football Show where even tne normally uber positive Jayson B. was scathing of DF systematic failures with Piroe etc

They also highlighted Meslier goals concession is 7 goals on Xg 1.6.he should be saving most of them.

28 Apr 2024 07:52:28
Meslier played well earlier in the season when we were winning
Since the International break, he's shipped some goals and personally I think its time to wave goodbye
Victor Jahanson (Rotherham) would cost us peanuts to buy.

28 Apr 2024 08:07:42
Baz Farke began season saying Piroe was not a CF but an AM. Now he claims he's a direct replacement for Bambi. Mes is Gnomelier Gashlier Statuelier Polo Mintier.

28 Apr 2024 09:23:23
Hey George…you and co were clamouring for Piroe to be a Bamford replacement all season!

28 Apr 2024 10:14:25
But Ani, these people forget their previous clamourings, in favour of being correct in the “here and now”, or whatever sounds intelligent and cunning for a minute or two! 🤔🥴.

28 Apr 2024 11:09:24
Yes George, the notorious 30 minite Farke sermon " I was a striker I know about strikers "

Ani over the season it seemd JP os competent (ish) at onf thing . scoring from half chances and is an 8 a second striker.

The guy could not trap a bag of cement, nor make. an accuate 5 yard pass.

He is mo more a 10 than you Ani.

28 Apr 2024 11:54:22
Ani No I wasn't. I wasn't part of that group. I was advocating MJ. If you think I desired Piroe on the starting team sheet (and not the bench where he belongs, luxury player only helps when you've already won the game) then either you can't read, are the inspiration behind Jackanory or something much worse. Your accuracy rating approximately an ontillionth to one. Otherwise excellent.

28 Apr 2024 13:23:16
Hi George, I can definitely read and I can definitely remember.

So you have been clamouring for MJ all season despite him not playing until the end of February and the team winning every game this year until the end of March without him? You were clamouring for Piroe to be a bench warmer all season despite him being our top scorer up until Christmas - utter fantasy.

28 Apr 2024 15:25:13
Ani I absolutely categorically assure you I have not been a Piroe fan or clamouring for him. He's possibly a striker but back when teams played 4-4-2 so basically he's a second striker from quarter of a century ago, i. e. before Mourinho entered the English game.

Please don't tell me what I did or didn't say. I know my memory and intentions better than you. Furthermore, the people who know me tell me my memory is utterly beyond astounding.

28 Apr 2024 16:13:46
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

28 Apr 2024 18:08:09
Hey George, I don’t have to tell you what to say, Baz does that.

28 Apr 2024 23:53:58
Hey Ani.

1. Baz doesn't tell me what to think or post.

2. Baz and I just so happen to think alike on LUFC.

3. Even Baz posted a few weeks ago that we don't always agree but we do seem to be in sync around 95% of the time.

4. Generally speaking, I don't take orders or "follow" people.

27 Apr 2024 21:47:45
Hats off to Ipswich, they fight every game, what they lack in skill they make up for in pure resilience and team belief. If they go up with Leicester then well done to them, they are currently beating Hull City 3-2 so they deserve all the accolades that comes with their success. 👍👍.

27 Apr 2024 22:48:32
It was a nervy, but entertaining game.
We could have done with a Hull win, but let's see what Coventry have planned next week.

27 Apr 2024 22:53:24
They are a good side, it was a cracking game tonight, but it isn't over yet.

27 Apr 2024 23:09:39
Think there is a fair amount of skill amongst the Ipswich players Woody ;

Ipswich are certainly the most resilient team in league

And Ipswich play more entertaining football than many of Leeds matches.

28 Apr 2024 09:29:31
I would caveat that Baz…Ipswich games are entertaining rather than Ipswich play entertaining football; they always give up chances in their box, like last night.

Notwithstanding that, last nights game was a good watch and Ipswich played their part in that. They are very resilient, no doubt.

Where we are on the same page however is the difference in approach they had to a “must win” game. They clearly went for it whereas Leeds approach to the same games recently has been unfathonable.

28 Apr 2024 11:13:04
No Ani Ipswich ganes are entertaining AND they play entertaining footfall

( ( far) more entertaining than ponderous mostly slow sideways Farke Ball that's for sure )

28 Apr 2024 11:16:00
Ipswich will win 4.-0 on Tuesday Coventry have nothing to play for.
