I read posts on this site since the end of last season until I finaly had time and guts join it. I was staggered half way through this season how many people turned on our manager and chairman (you all know who you are 👉) some saying sack bielsa he never does better the second season, one person even said we would be lucky to finish top ten and Philips would be found out as a fraud and bielsa needed sacking and radz Was useless. Can't remember names but wondered what your views are now as most see him as a savour type figure, me included I love the man and want him here for as long he's willing to manage our great team in this fantastic city.

MOT.

Always been a big fan of Bielsa this season and previous season. The only time I wavered slightly was when Bub continued to pick Kiko this season despite Kiko making lots of mistakes and costing us points against Cardiff, Forest, Brentford etc
But Bielsa for me in our top 3 best managers ever.

I have been a fairly fierce critic at times of Radz and to a lesser extent Orta ; particularly over ther failure of the Jan transfer window in 2019 which I have no doubt cost us promotion with Sheff United also in the same window signing 2 strikers and Oliver Norwood.

However, my criticism is tempered by Radz and Orta excellently arranging the amazing coup of bringing in Bielsa and they have also been excellent
in some matters such as improving considerably the Leeds United brand and a building a stronger passionate even prouder mutual bond with the citizens/ fans of the city of Leeds and beyond with Leeds United football club. So kudos to Radz and Orta on that, my feelings towards them have improved.




Not s.

Nice post Taddy, you forgot to mention about somebody saying Sam Allardyce would be a good replacement! Nearly chocked on that! 🤪.

01 Jun 2020 23:31:02
well i have been by a mile one of the biggest critics on this site

i said sack belisa, i said phillips is over rated and think rads is a bit tto tight with money

I have said eaerlier today on the site at the moment i am wrong and long may it continue, love being proven wrong

as for my views. well i do think belisa is stubborn to a fault. i do think we are useless at defending set plays and high balls which has cost us goals and points.

I stil do not rate phillips

having watched all our game over and over agian during the virus i think my views are all vaild and true. Phillips can't defend and often at fault for our goals and the ratio of set plays conceeded to goals conceeded is very high

this all said we are top and that is all that matters so fair play to the manager, to phillips and everyone else at the club. long may they continue to prove me wrong.

Err BW you say in your post ' I have said earlier today I am wrong' about sacking Bielsa and 'fair play to the manager, Phillips and everyone else at the club for proving you wrong '

(I seem to. recall you also regularly in your posts called for either Warnock or Allardyce to replace Bielsa mid season 🥴) .

You then go onto say BW in your post ' . I think ALL. my views are valid and true'

Err lol somewhat confused BW have you been right or wrong? . I would say looking at the league table you have been mostly wrong 😂😂👍.

02 Jun 2020 12:17:43
this arguement is hypotechtical.

last season we had a huge crash. the worst of any club ever at this level. so maybe if last season we brought in warnock he would of got us over the line and we would be in prem now. we will never know

now when i say my points are vailid. to a degree they are. we are useless at defending set plays and high balls (sunday league standard) and it has cost us points. however that said we are top despite this flaw.

so is my point right. yes that is a huge weakness however they are proving me wrong as they look like going up and i didn't think we would so fair play to them

So yes you are right despite my points being vaild i am mostly and hugely wrong and long may that continue.

02 Jun 2020 13:42:09
Thanks for clarifying BW

I would add that Radz not Bielsa was the reason for not going up last season re failed Jan window.

02 Jun 2020 16:54:15
i agree BV rads inactivity in the transfer window was awful however Belisa is the gaffer. now he must get praise for how well we are doing but by the same rules he must get some blame for our record breaking explosion and fall from grace last season

is stubborness is his streanght and his strenght is his weakness.

02 Jun 2020 17:40:52
And also
We may have done worse if we had brought warnock in! Who knows.

02 Jun 2020 19:41:44
exactly Taddy we culd of done a lot worse and if belisa gets us up this season I can have no arguement and he will of made me look proper stupid and I will love that.

Excellent that tbe leagues are restarting not least for one EPL continued bullsh lack of integrity procrastination on relegation if curtailment.


FFS when will the EPL. and the FA come out with a definitive statement that in the event of curtailment there will be promotion and relegation to and from tbe EPL under weighted ppg this season in line work the EFL that has already made this decision with the EFL leagues in the football pyramid.


The psthetic EPL pantomime of deliberately procrastinating on this by the EPL continues to stain EPL. sporting integrity.


With the cynical transparent motives of Karen Brady pretentiously referring to West Ham and the other 19 clubs in the EPL as 'EPL shareholders ' rather than clubs alleging that she and a number of other relegation threatened clubs would be against voting for relegation ( quelle. surprise) in ppg.

Hopefully this bullsh EPL and FA procrastination is concluded this Thursday in their next meeting. how many meetings so far without making any decision on this?! .

01 Jun 2020 15:44:29
I bet Mrs Brady Old Lady wouldn't want the season voiding if West Ham were in the top 6.

01 Jun 2020 17:45:58
Wow Baz did you swallow a dictionary! Never had to look as many words up before 🤪.

02 Jun 2020 13:43:41
Lol Taddywhite yeah although I think I might have swallowed not one but two dictionaries 😂😉.

Back in the game!
A 20 day countdown starts!
Dunno who said it, but maybe it was Bermo, but I think we'll do better in empty stadiums. It'll be just like training, and we will annihilate some teams, hopefully starting with that weasel at Cardiff.
Football is back on the menu boys!

01 Jun 2020 06:16:58
Can I have chips with mine bright.

01 Jun 2020 08:14:05
timer for nine squeaky bum time matches - lest get promotion done MOT.

01 Jun 2020 10:32:48
Yeah. I’m nervous.

01 Jun 2020 10:43:18
Let's not fcuk it up, please. We only need 7 wins.

01 Jun 2020 11:24:47
I’m nervous.
I’d say I’m 55% confident. Just. Sort of.

01 Jun 2020 11:32:22
yes bright! its coming back its coming leeds are coming back

Always hard to tell but i think we will do well with out the crowds and other teams will not lift as much as they normally do without the fans upping there game because leeds are in town.

Main thing is football is back and god have I missed it

now upto the boys and take us to the promised land. no PPG no buys or gimmies just what the fans and players deserve proper promotion. and I will say now a promotion that i never thought would happen under belisa so fair play to the gaffer who i have been very hard on.

01 Jun 2020 12:41:31
Bottom of prem still asking for no relegation if they don't finish their season on the pitch.

01 Jun 2020 13:33:32
Well done bw for manning up.
Yeah. It’s not over yet.
Hopefully I can utter those 3 words soon.

01 Jun 2020 15:44:33
yes Aus and to be fair I have never been so happy being proven wrong, let's hope belisa and the boys make me look stupid for at least another 7 games and then the promise land is back.

01 Jun 2020 15:45:33
5 wins and we would take some catching.
