No need to address this.
Don`t you people ever give up, and no I am not taking the bait fella`s, I am responding as anyone would do, to continuous petulance.
That incident with the goal was 2 years ago, and your player got a fellow professional sent of behaving like child as a result, something I might add that is looked down on within the game,
its gone, its done with, its all over, let it rest.
And I gloss it over because people on here are incapable of discussing anything in a sensible way, I know all too well people, I have tried several times.
I think you lot should get back to the roses incident that happened hundreds of years ago, it is more up your street, then you can carry on living in the past bearing grudges, I hope you enjoy it.
I do admit there are 2 or 3 decent posters on here, but the rest of you are just not worth the effort, its is the same old, same old, it has become really tiring, a bit like tooth ache.
To be honest, I think you all know how repetitive you are, but like getting up in the morning, its hard to change habitual behaviour, you must learn to give and take, and not be so hateful.
Read the last three months posts and you will see exactly what I mean.
So if possible, you carry on and enjoy your lives.

And again - REALLY Dave you must try harder.

Yet another Hilarious' groundhog day ' and 'deja vu' post from VD 😃😃😃 you must have posted this sort of post 7 or 8 times now VD

and yet you keep coming back for more VD!

# VD : more comebacks than the Spice Girls 😃😃🎶🎤.

28 Dec 2020 22:03:27
Oh no VD, not another fond farewell?

It is a banter Site after all, at such a difficult time my thoughts go back to those wonderful humbling words expressed by your Manager Mr Smith, when asked did he feel guilty at Bournemouth’s relegation, which was rightfully Villa’s, it still seems most appropriate for today;

“We just have to accept it and move on, there’s nothing else we can do. ”.

28 Dec 2020 22:20:26
VD you seriously complaining about Bamford pretending to be fouled when you have a multiple Oscar winner?
Remember he got banned for that, but jack the drunk driver doesnt.
Go back and have arguments on the vile site like you do often.
We all know you'll be back and you've leftv3 times already.

28 Dec 2020 22:25:03
VilDav "Roses incident". Is that what they're calling an unprovoked surprise attack resulting in mass genocide now? An incident. Hate is a bad thing grant you that as is retribution but downgrading the label in history like that is just wrong by a massive factor. Also suggest have bit more thought for the dead. Long time ago but it still happened.

28 Dec 2020 23:45:55
🤣😂🤣😂 David your obvious need for attention is rather funny. Nobody asked you to be here so why make out that your presence is in some way doing us all a favour? If you don't like it then clear off. Alternatively contribute and take the banter like you so often say you can. If you like histrionics so much isn't there a drama site you can join?

29 Dec 2020 00:07:03
Dave I don’t know why u let these guys bother u so much they will try winde us up any chance they get as will we to them that’s the whole point of banter, what I’d like to point out is the league table 😂 6 points ahead of these jokers with a game in hand when only a few months ago they were discussing us getting relegated and them finishing in European places😂😂😂 now they are here debating whether or not they will be in the relegation battle and trying to figure out if there are 3 worse teams than them in this league, it’s all so funny and ironic to be honest. almost as ironic as them talking about integrity when Marcelo spent his career spying on opposition teams training to try get the upper hand, easy have integrity with a short memory😂😂.

Got to sort out the freezer department of my fridge, think I’ve got about 4 packets of frozen peas in there.

29 Dec 2020 07:00:47
Whackattack see your just the same as us, your first season back you were at the bottom only just saving your skin, this is our first season back for 16 years so it’s going to take time, please don’t post trying to start a war because quite frankly you will lose, look at home mate, As for Dave don’t let a couple of mindless idiots stop you posting how you see it it’s your point not everyone will agree but that’s how it goes bantering,

29 Dec 2020 10:01:10
See, I told you Aston Vanilla. Boring club, boring fans, boring banter site. That's why they're coming on ours. 😢 So sad!

29 Dec 2020 10:08:57
Either that or the other posters on the Villa site are as bored of whackaday and David as we are and have sent them here so they don't have to read their dull 'insights'

29 Dec 2020 10:57:19
Roses incident? Is he on about Danny rise who was on page seven of the sun last week?

Whack you are doing well and yes we may be playing in a way that gives few of us the jitters but just you and vd or the last goodbye as I know him being here proves our point. We are a proper club who even other fans flock to a banter page. how many Leeds on villas none because you don’t matter

I really like smith and respect what he has done I also love grealish. Over the years I have liked villa and gold them no Malace now (although the disallowed goal then 180 turn when hawk eye failed was classless) but despite all this one thing remains. you will never be a proper club with proper fans from a proper city . you will just be an ok club with fans with a funny accent.

29 Dec 2020 11:06:04
“As I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. ” Villa Dave Leeds United forum, multiple times in 2020.

29 Dec 2020 14:32:14
If you think villa don’t matter why was there a full thread discussing us and go ask Liverpool arsenal wolves Leicester Chelsea if we matter, all the big six or 7 clubs of the past few seasons whom we took points from, how many have ye beaten this season, it’s true ye are like us last year first year up I fully expect ye to stay up and build on what ye have, I quiet enjoy Leeds being in the premier league and I come here for the bit of banter to and fro I’m a bit more thick skinned than Dave I rather give it back than get upset, I visit all the other teams pages as we play them for the banter (except West Brom as their page was so abandoned that they hadn’t a comment for months and it was about a player transfer not involving West Brom 😂😂) but this is the only page we get such a reception so I get drawn back every now and then for some fun and giggles, best of luck today I hope ye trash them good and proper👊.

28 Dec 2020 17:25:46
Two of our favourites playing next! Not sure which one I want to lose most! Some saying the axe might fall on frankie boy if they lose tonight! Would be a shame 😂not done much since they beat us! Still tired maybe 🤔.

28 Dec 2020 18:04:59
Indeed DSW re Chelski vs Vile . ugh

As for Lampard, from watching Frankie Boy's post match interview comments, player criticisms and very stressed demeanour following the Gooner's defeat he definitely gave me the impression the HEAT is considerably on him from within.

Think he will be gone by or at the end of the season.

28 Dec 2020 14:22:33
Question : What is meant to be Rodrigo 's best position? Number 9? CAM? Or?

As I have looked up Rodrigo's goalscoring stats and he has scored 105 goals in 396 matches. ok but concerningly far from prolific at around 1 goal in 4 games if he has been playing as a number 9.

On a different tangent, upon watching West Brom vs Liverpool, it seems evident Big Sam has tightened them up defensively.

So Leeds might now need to be near their best to get a win at Brom, would be content enough with point, but must not lose.

28 Dec 2020 14:40:23
I believe most of his time was either winger or striker.
CAM is not his natural position from my understanding.

28 Dec 2020 14:59:54
I believe he is a deep lying forward or old fashioned number ten I see him as a peter Beardsley type player who apparently we nearly singed in 1990.

28 Dec 2020 15:38:25
Could be Berm . certainly looks more a Peter Beardsley type than an out and out striker. His goal stats aren't good enough.

28 Dec 2020 16:16:49
Rodrigo has generally played as part of a front 2 or 3, usually dropping into spaces, dragging defenders out of position with runs to leave space etc. Has never been prolific but has generally had a lot of assists so a good goal contribution rate overall. Think we currently play him a little deep but when he gets in and around the box he causes problems, just need to get him there more.

28 Dec 2020 16:24:48
Very good info Gummie thanks for that 👍.

28 Dec 2020 18:26:06
He appears to me as in being moulded as a cam now , which I suppose at this stage of his career will take a bit of readjusting, yes he is not going to be a prolific scorer for us, but imo it's not coincidence that his arrival has also came in tandem with paddy scoring 10 so far this season, Rodi is a work house.

28 Dec 2020 18:59:54
Yes Chris I get the impression also that Bielsa wants him to play as a CAM.

28 Dec 2020 11:27:40
Meslier had to utilize his height advantage as a keeper to prevent Burnley from muscling in with their obvious height and physical advantage, Burnley knew that as well and tried to out muscle him. Whether it was palming or punching the ball away under the brut like attack he got, I thought he did extremely well.
Having said that, I do think Meslier fouled Barnes. What comes around goes around.

28 Dec 2020 12:30:24
I’m complete opposite.
I don’t think it a foul. In fact I saw it from an angle that showed Barnes or whoever it was, eyes. And he knew exactly what he was doing. He fouled Messler.
However although he made good saves he needs to catch the ball. At least 4 times I saw he could have caught it. No logic in punching. Goalkeepers only have to be breathes on these days and get free kicks. So he should catch the ball and invite the foul.

28 Dec 2020 13:12:25
To add to the above.
Bamford got the ball first. He in no way stopped Pope from making a save or legal tackle. Pope fractionally got the ball second and stopped Bamford. Foul. Penalty.
Mee or Barnes or whoever it was looked at the situation prior to making a pathetic effort to get the ball knowing he was going to be clobbered. That’s simulation. That’s basically diving and he should have been sent off.
Watch all the angles. I’m right.
Finally mr dicye. Welcome to warnock and alardyce land. U have expanded my friends without benefits from 2-3. Stupid brainless man. U lost.

28 Dec 2020 14:43:15
Aus, so he has eyes in the back of his head? Went through the back of a player jumping straight up.
Meslier 100% got away with one there, but we will take it.
Bamford was a penalty for sure, played the ball before Pope took him out.

28 Dec 2020 12:16:05
On Twitter Nigel Martin flew to his defence and said how good he was . He also posted a picture of himself at that age with tweet saying I had just won the Cornwall local league . Daivd James was another who said how great me Meslier was yesterday and how good he has been all season.

28 Dec 2020 19:36:36
Aus is right. The ball was going miles above his head. He knew he wasn't going to get to it, so made a pathetic attempt to get near the ball, hoping he would get clattered and then a penalty. Luckily the ref saw this as most pundits obviously didn't.

28 Dec 2020 07:36:58
As a lot of people have mentioned yesterday it was evident that the pitch was waterlogged due to the heavy rain. I noticed in the game against Leicester the pitch was of a similar condition which did affect our quick movement and passing of the ball, especially in the second half when perhaps some of our players suffered from tired legs in the boggy conditions.
With Klich, who has undoubtedly lost form, Bielsa, who rates him very highly, I believe will continue playing him in hope it’ll get him through his lack of confidence at the moment. To take him out of the game completely might set him back even further.
It’s a shame for Shackleton who is in good form at the moment, has been subbing Klich but ultimately we need Klich to get back to his former self to get that Leeds United motor purring correctly.
It’ll be another tough game against Mike Basset’s Baggies, our quick play and passing will have to be on top form to win this one.

28 Dec 2020 13:43:42
Let's be honest OP elland road pitch isn't the greatest now for a hell of a long time, it's not a new phenomenon really, I remember back in the early 90,s a when the pitch was appalling spectacle all too regularly.

28 Dec 2020 00:08:21
Great result against a tough and physical side, gives us some nice space from the relegation zone.
Before KO was thinking 4 points from burnley and brom be great, now wanting 6.
Other teams dropped points and would like Brighton to go backwards and then snap up white next season?
Thought meslier, Phillips and ailing very good, like someone said prior, good subs with shacks and POV, we also better with Phillips in middle but he did get some crucial headers in today.
Great run and well taken pen from bam bam and great to not concede.
Lastly, not sure what's happened to klich last few games, is he fatigued?
Disappointed with Rodrigo, nearly 30mil and not looking a good investment, had chances but not taking them, only 2 goals not enough, just my opinion, maybe time will prove me wrong.

28 Dec 2020 05:14:33
Pleased with the win and also our points tally.
Phillips and struik played well.
Good pass by Ayling. Def a pen for us and tbh now I’ve watched it a few more times I don’t reckon there player has made a good enough attempt to get the ball and is trying to foul mezzler.
I do wish goalie would catch the ball.
Klich again woeful. Needs a rest.
And I agree with u Melbourne. For $30 mill we should be seeing more goals from rods.
Quite pleased with our start. Got a bad feeling about brom. Dislike sam so love to stuff them.

28 Dec 2020 07:18:48
Melly I said this at the very beginning of the season about Rodrigo. RHC supportive of my view but everyone else criticized me. He's certainly a good player but I stand by my original assessment that he wouldn't quite live up to the price tag.

28 Dec 2020 08:58:27
Give rodders time he will prove his worth.

28 Dec 2020 11:37:46
Rodrigo is not playing his natural position. That will take time.
I believe he was brought in to be a striker but Bamford is doing to well so we moved Rodrigo to mid rather than spend the money on De Paul.
