wasn't at the game tonite,how did we play?result not good enough really but wanted to know how the performance was,

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Poor very poor were lucky to hang on to 1-1. No pace, very little creativity and too many average players. Need to improve badly, last few games have shown us to be a mid table side unfortunatley :( We need McCormack, Hall and some defensive cover desperately if we r to push on up the table

What a load of rubbish charlton should of won nw is not getting the best out of beccio he has lost his control of the ball completely rubbish 3 matches where we have played crap Richie 1979

Believable7 Unbelievable2

Well if the 9 goals so far int his best I can't wait to find his form
We all seem to be forgetting our best player is out injured but now unbeaten in 6
God I effing hate some Leeds fans

Agree6 Disagree4

Aaarrggh leave Becchio alone he is a legend! We need McCormack back as soon as he is ready and we need Austin back when he is fully rested. Though I have to say I feel it was 2 points lost. Come on come on my beloved football team .....

Agree5 Disagree2

23 Oct 2012 23:52:57
yes we are 7 unbeaten, we was poor but we rested austin, white, pelts so stoppp moaning

Agree3 Disagree2

Yes, leave Becchio alone. He's one of those players that gives his all every game. He's just not getting the service he deserves from midfield. He's expected to do wonders with a long punt upfield and that just doesnt work. You could see his frustration boiling over last night when he got booked for booting the ball away.
Get behind them instead of knocking them.

Ive been reading all the comments on here following Friday night at Sheff Wed. I have supported Leeds for over 40 years, and yes I to was disgusted by what happened...all true Leeds fans are. But in the aftermath of what happened I can honestly say I have never heard/read/seen so much toxic and vile comments directed at our club and fans by other supporters. Until now I dont think I fully appreciated the hatred directed towards us....can someone tell me what it is I am missing....cos after 40 years with Leeds United, I really dont know.
Please dont call me naive or tell me to read the history of the club, and I know all the problems with our past hooliganism.
Lets be honest, as bad as it was...Ive seen worse at other clubs.

Believable6 Unbelievable2

I'm with you mate. I live in London and people seem to single out Leeds for all their footballing hatred. It's based in the old Dirty Leeds tactics of Don Revie. And, weirdly, has just stayed. The hooliganism in the 80s didnt help.

Agree3 Disagree1

Hooliganism isn't unique to Leeds.
Thugs at most clubs are in the minority.

It just seems that year after year this so called 'minority' at Leeds makes the headlines.

Maybe just Maybe this 'minority' isn't so minor at Leeds.....

Next I guess you'll be saying poor Leeds are picked on by the Media.

If I was a multi million pound investor I wouldn't put sixpence into Leeds and associate myself with all that bad publicity.

Agree2 Disagree6

Sixpence?...old money, old argument...just crawl back into your hole to watch what ever tawdry lttle team it is you support.

Agree4 Disagree3

Its old money but its not an old argument.

It is current facts and the truth.

Ahhhh Facts and the truth, that what usually hurts eh?

By the way whats the relevance of the club I support? But if you really want to know its a club that some wealthy Kuwaiti's recently chose rather than Leeds.

Agree0 Disagree2

To quote from an earlier post

"The hooliganism in the 80s didnt help"

You should also add the 1990s the 2000s and the 2010's as well as last Friday.

Nothings changed when it comes to Leeds United.

Same old Leeds - Just a different decade.

Agree2 Disagree1

People soon forget the Chelsea prawn sandwich munchers former reputation as leading lights in the hooligan stakes. Ah yes that's because they are in London. The majority of negativity aimed at Leeds is from the southern based media.

Agree1 Disagree0

Yeah yet who mentions the oh saville she said no chants from charlton last night the stabbing gestures and galatasary songs from wednesday fans along with the flare been thrown on the pitch by them

Agree0 Disagree0

To the florist fan, ur owners were never linked with leeds, only by u persons who think u are a big club, toddle on back to your own site little boy, rich owners?,hasnt put you above the mighty whites has it

Agree0 Disagree1

The only reason you say they were not linked with you is because they chose us. The fact is they were looking at all high profile championship clubs including Leeds. They chose us because they didn't want to have there reputation dragged through the gutter by your very significant so called 'minority'

Be honest, if you were looking to invest in a club, would you choose Leeds?

Believable1 Unbelievable10

We were lucky they couldn't finish or it would of been 1-3 to them... We were garbage Again I don't know how we are 7'th in the league

this takeover is just bit boring now and dont know why people are putting its on or off,if and when.
all i want is the points and to go up.yes a takeover would hopefully generate a couple of better players we need to go up but ive stopped worrying about it now.perhaps it will happen when all the talk dies away...shrew leeds

Believable3 Unbelievable0

23 Oct 2012 14:47:21
Does anybody believe that this takeover will actually never happen? I'm not looking for an argument I just feel like I can't be optimistic anymore... MOT

Believable7 Unbelievable2

Whilst I firmly believe the takeover is real and will take place, it makes me wonder why we are looking at players from Frickley Athletic and Derry City if we are going to have shed loads of cash in January. Just a thought.
Chris

Agree8 Disagree1

Just a thought but where did James McClean from Sunderland come from? Or the likes of Ian Wright and Jermaine Beckford? just because they aren't playing in a top league doesnt mean they dont have the potential to be a quality player

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Oct 2012 12:47:56
my own personal opinion is that the takeover will fall through, not sure on what grounds just that its just been dragged out forever, i sincerely hope it doesnt but thats what it seems like to me

Believable18 Unbelievable15

Another aaron cawley commenting on my post?? is it not a banter page where we can express opinions. you are what we dont need. someone who is just negative to other fans, as i said its an opinion which anyone is free to have

deakk07

Agree0 Disagree2

Every fan should be ready for the deal to fall through as we nearly always end up disappointed

Agree4 Disagree1

23 Oct 2012 17:22:23
yeah we could not care what you think. and we are doing well at the moment so how about stop thinking about the takeover, no news is good news do you think they would wastes all this time and money.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Oct 2012 09:57:21
David Haigh said the takeover would be completed by the end of October,Tick Tock Tick Tock Mr Haigh

Believable6 Unbelievable10

When did he say that. didn't the joint statement say they were working towards the Jan transfer window?

Agree9 Disagree6

They said they were hopeful that the deal would be complete in 3 weeks it has been around 2 weeks since he said this . i doubt it will be complete by end yr never mind end of the month

Agree11 Disagree1

23 Oct 2012 09:21:03
Its now 2 weeks since David Haigh said the deal should be done "within 3 weeks" so let's just give it this week and see what happens, 3 points tonight is the key! Get rid of the bad publicity!

I've listened to for last 5 years and enjoy it. Except Durham who is self confessed anti Leeds, who is rude to the people who phone in who don't agree with him, who will it seems do and say anything to create controversy. If we tarred all broadcasters with the same brush in the same way he as tarred all Leeds fans with the knob head Cawley, no one would listen to the radio. If you ever wanted to reduce your listening audience you've
Just done it by alienating all Leeds fans you ginger headed prat.

Believable12 Unbelievable1

I listen to nearly everyday,very limited.Seems to me that the presenters are too much up their own ***** one big boys club.At least all the s**** is on one station.The other thing is they all get paid alot of money to talk it.Why do i listen you ask me.....in anticipation there may be some news on the takeover!!! Theres another S**** subject. mot..

Agree4 Disagree0

What they are forgetting is that Sheff Wed took the money off those fans in that end and failed to provide sufficient safety for them or the players. It was only one person that got on but could have been worse. Until they can police a game properly they should have the away end reduced to what they can cope with. Durham is an obnoxious person who hates Leeds , when Rangers were in administration he though the other teams in Scotland should bail them out but when we are trouble he would gladly let who's go out of existance.

Agree2 Disagree0

I listened to this last night and durham couldnt get in his thick head that leeds are trying there best to stamp this out.i thought thats what the membership card scheme was for.he just wouldnt listen to acaller that explained this.the cards should be checked and if sheff weds didnt want our stewards they should have had the facility to check.of course im not condoning the person but someone at sheff weds needs to stand up and be counted and say they made an error of judgement...shrew leeds

Agree2 Disagree1

Ed; presumably this refers to a radio programme? I must have missed original reference. Who is Durham? Is he a professional Leeds-disser? Emlyn Hughes used to do it regularly in his column, and there have been many others in the 40 years i've supported the club. They tend to make themselves look ridiculous; all sensible football lovers know that every club has had disagreeable people playing-for/managing/supporting it at some point. PK {Ed001's Note - he was referring to Adrian Durham, the guy just says anything that he can to upset people so they phone up the station and they make their money off the phone ins. If people just stopped listening to talkshhhhh, then there would be no problem and he could crawl back under the rock he came from.}

Agree0 Disagree0

How many stewards do you actually need to control Leeds fans a hell of a lot more than was there on Friday any other team they would have been enough Admit it your fans are out of control how many fans came on the pitch we don't have this much trouble wen we play our neighbours it's never you the blame always lies somewhere else

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Oct 2012 23:40:57
Whether Varney did or didn't refuse to clap the fans fact of the matter is if he pulls on a White shrt he should be supported he's entitled to his opinion. We are, that's why we all write on here, and it's very rare there's not at least one disagree for every comment posted on here, so we all have opinions. The media especially thatnperson Durham on arengoing to be waiting for us to slip so they can bad mouth us, turning on each other especially our
Own players, is just adding fuel to their fires.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

People need to ask themselves, if you were witness to what happened, would you want to go applaud the fans? Really, would you? I've been a Leeds fan for over 30 years. Was born a stones throw from the ground and i am still feeling a shudder of nausea when i think of the moment i saw that dick of a drunk do what he did. I dont think i could have applauded them
