Leeds Banter Archive January 28 2020

28 Jan 2020 22:43:08
I think we can get Millwall banned from football for ever. I noticed bribery of match official.
Before taking a corner one of their players gave money to the referee and he put it straight in his pocket. Sack the ref as well!
Effing scandalous! 💰😜😂
PS. Come back Martyn.
Don't let the bar stewards grind you down! 🙉
MOT. ALAW.

29 Jan 2020 09:24:10
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂.

28 Jan 2020 22:34:21
That second half is the Leeds i want to see. Why can we not play with that aggression and passion from the start and stop giving us all palpitations. Bamford looked pleased to score at last, bet he must be feeling hot breath on the back of his neck. Hope the new lads get a chance soon as it may be the impetus we need. Rather be on top in Feb than Jan, six points in front of Fulham again with Brom worrying about them now. I know Forest look dangerous but i have seen them blow up so many times. Anyway we just have to stay above Brom. Got some testing games in Feb but so have the rest of them, when we beat Forest i know it will be our year. Had to win that one, we did, that's all that matters. Onwards and upwards.

28 Jan 2020 23:01:57
Great post mate. Well said.

28 Jan 2020 22:30:42
Picture this. Half time tonight, players return to the dressing room, one of Bielsa's lieutenants puts a fatherly arm round BamBam's shoulders and with the other hand passes him Big Kev's boots, saying polish these will you, looks like he'll be needing them next game.

28 Jan 2020 21:53:08
Leeds, Leeds are falling apart again!
Oh no, wait a minute! 😂😂😂.

28 Jan 2020 22:08:39
Danum mate.

28 Jan 2020 21:48:57
2 things.
THAT is Leeds United.
Hull losing again. Now get us Agent Bowen on Loan.

28 Jan 2020 21:12:34
Come the fkuc on, don't leave Martyn come on pal we all feeling urined off, . we all want what's best for LUFC.

28 Jan 2020 20:47:19
Remember when this was supposed to be banter were did it all go? It's been taken over by moaners and whiners who prob don't even go more than twice a year. Time to call it a day on here it used to be a great laugh but far too serious now. Stay in good health boys and cork 😉.

28 Jan 2020 20:56:41
Martyns before you check out, maybe now just maybe you will finally realize what we been saying for. a hell of a long time and because of that you and others call us moaners, yet most things we have been saying are now becoming the reality .

28 Jan 2020 21:16:35
chris shh were great again weyhey.

28 Jan 2020 21:21:17
I love everyone again, ha ha, even the stranger next to me now, ha ha come on.

28 Jan 2020 21:46:38
Fickle fans. Are the best. 😤😤.

28 Jan 2020 21:50:23
We are Leeds Martyn! THAT is what the second half was about. Faith from people like you, and others on here.

28 Jan 2020 21:53:26
Come on Martyn. Think again. Love it or loathe it, agree or disagree not everyone is capable of mediating their thoughts and after all, no matter how they say it (within reason) they/ we are all allowed to voice our feelings. Sometimes I am sure my feelings and frustrations can come across as whingeing/ moaning. Sometimes I see the problem and the solution but for some reason no one else can. It gets to head against wall time. Let them moan just point out where they are wrong and let the Eds do the rest. Stick with us Martyn.

28 Jan 2020 21:56:43
Don’t you go Martyn!
We’ve lost Mick, Spanish, Speedy, and a good few others.

Agree site nothing like as much fun it was in couple of seasons ago, but you still have an important contribution to make Big Fella.

Hope you reconsider, shame to miss the promotion season after all the time you’ve been contributing Martyn.

28 Jan 2020 22:04:38
Martyn

We are Leeds

We stand together brother.

28 Jan 2020 22:07:10
Well said Class!
Stick around Martyn!

28 Jan 2020 22:13:57
Too many arseholes on here. Don’t let em get you down mate even though it’s hard. Keep on posting mate as we can’t afford to lose another proper supporter. MOT.

28 Jan 2020 22:43:52
Well said
Corky. By looks off it wev lost George too.
Not surprised really.
Onwards and upwards. Can’t win every time. But when we do Then it feels great too be a white. 💙🤍💛
⚽️⚽️⚽️👍👍.

28 Jan 2020 23:03:17
Batty

George stands with us always.

28 Jan 2020 20:24:48
Bad enough we throwing our season away again on the pitch without the idiots in the crowd throwing missiles onto the pitch. EFL just going to love this, punishment coming our way. Nice one boys!

28 Jan 2020 23:04:25
F the EFL

We are Leeds.

28 Jan 2020 20:19:50
I wonder what they practice in training? Not defending corners or putting the ball in the net.

28 Jan 2020 20:33:17
absolutely pathetic. True to form Bamford has already wasted 3 or 4 decent chances. Awful.

28 Jan 2020 20:39:19
Or how to play to the whistle.

28 Jan 2020 21:53:03
Half chances. Bam was immense again tonight. As was every other player on the pitch. What is it with Leeds fans giving up before the final whistle these days. Never used to be like that.

28 Jan 2020 22:08:18
Bright

They never quit

Nor should we.

28 Jan 2020 20:15:05
Maybe Mr Bielsa should stop doing 3 hour powerpoint presentations on opponents and concentrate on Billy basics like defending corners, putting the ball in the net, playing to the whistle, alioski is a defending liability and Bamford well enough said there.

28 Jan 2020 20:31:10
Totally agree Richie, but as my old fella always told me ( if you ain't got nothing nice to say, shut the eff! up )

Maybe we should try on those rose tinted spectacles .
They gloss over all the garbage that a lot of people refuse to see.

28 Jan 2020 20:40:41
weres baradi?

28 Jan 2020 22:10:46
Gianni was Motm tonight. Class!

28 Jan 2020 18:56:33
yes unproven . u19 is not league otherwise eddie would of beeen in . psg 1st team how many games leipzip so why out on loan and not playing . ok needs to play i didn't say flop but clearly no hero . but could be i did say 15 goals would be good so learn to read it all.

28 Jan 2020 19:14:05
Omg that made no sense.

28 Jan 2020 20:33:03
Martyn where have you been mate, yes he bought the ground but Leeds rent back at the rate of 20 million mate each year, for god sake.

28 Jan 2020 20:43:05
Its not that difficult Martyn even though the English isn't up to your impeccable standard.

A player who has played in the U19s for France does not have league experience - therefore he is unproven in the first team. Augustin has been out on loan from Leipzig so they clearly don't fancy him, and has barely started a game for Monaco meaning he can't be all that as far as they are concerned. Yes he got player of the tournament a few years ago but has he really pushed on from then? Not from what we have seen.

Finally, OMG reminds you that he did say he hopes Augustin scores 15 goals for Leeds and if so he will see that as a good return on the 'investment', as i'm sure we all will.

28 Jan 2020 20:44:48
nor do you.

28 Jan 2020 16:13:36
Chris-obviously it is easy to be cynical about quotes coming out from the Club given the guff that gushes from Kinnear on most occasions. However, it is quite possible that Bielsa is genuinely surprised and pleased with the work that was done by Orta (the Director) on this occasion- particularly in respect of the Big Kev transfer. Obviously most clubs will scout talent at international age-group tournaments, but if Victor and team have genuinely tracked Augustin for the length of time and and in the detail claimed - I can hear you saying 'as if' or bull$#:+ or whatever, ., but it could well be true - it seems to parallel the extent to which Bielsa works in preparation for matches, and indeed for new managerial roles. As such, Bielsa would of course appreciate it, and wish to commend it.

28 Jan 2020 16:47:11
Just sick to death being fed the popular soundbites then watching Leeds fall apart year after year .
We deserve better than 16 year absence.

28 Jan 2020 19:24:17
You won’t get it by putting leeds down Chris, maybe try getting behind them as one and encourage them over the line.

28 Jan 2020 19:55:14
Chris tell me why we deserve better. There’s another seventy odd clubs in league who could say the same.
I don’t know your age but we’ve had many worse chairman’s than Rad and rubbish loads inferior teams then this.

28 Jan 2020 22:18:45
Chris. Radz is responsible for our most successful 2 years of the 16 you quote. What could he do other than everything positive that he has done. This ain’t the Dr Who equivalent of football Chairmanship. You can’t blame him for previous failures of prior chairmen!?

28 Jan 2020 23:31:44
I never suggested that Andrea should be viewed like Krasner or GFH, what I am sick to death with is the spin continually put in front of lack of progression . If Leeds Utd are to the pin of their collar financially then there's no hope for a huge number of clubs .

Cork I will tell you why we deserve better of those 70 clubs you speak of which of those have won the 1st div or have in their recent history played in Europe or who have full houses even when we was in 3rd tier? Which of those clubs sign big kit deals? Which of those clubs sell out away support continually, which of them clubs has 1 of the greatest matchday atmosphere in UK?

That's why I KNOW this club deserves it .

28 Jan 2020 12:27:22
Marcelo Bielsa on Leeds' January transfers: "The director and staff did very serious work, which I have never seen before in my career. This is a big support for us and is very important. ".

28 Jan 2020 13:39:12
Bright - going back to that Orta interview, perhaps one of the bigger takeouts could be his saying that Bielsa was "very excited" when told that Big Kev might be available. You can almost see the expression on his face, one which he sometimes has, rather like the slightly childlike smile that might play across an archetypal film super-villain's face when a dastardly new plan comes to mind. It is hard to imagine Bielsa getting particularly excited about keeping Big Kev on the bench on Nkethia-like role. I'm hoping it means that he will soon be getting significant minutes on the pitch.

28 Jan 2020 13:43:07
Angus Kinnear last July,
Lessons have been learned we do not need additional players squad is strong enough!
That went well didn't it?

Come on bright you know better than swallowing that garbage.

28 Jan 2020 14:06:41
Are you not happy with the signings chris.

28 Jan 2020 14:10:49
I wouldn't quote Kinnear, the guy couldn't lie straight in bed.

28 Jan 2020 14:34:23
Chris, agreed mate can’t you smell a rat.

28 Jan 2020 15:29:32
I have no time for the Snake that is Kinnear have more time for Monk! But like bright I thought Orta came across really well in the interview I do believe in his passion for the team is genuine, above just doing his day job.

And just what if both Ian and Kev hit the ground running and we go n another massive unbeaten run? Now I realise the Spartans famously said ‘if’ but let’s give the new boys every encouragement BEFORE questioning their individual stats, rumours (unfounded) about their temperament

I’m excited to see what they’re going to perform like.
#getpromotiondone.

28 Jan 2020 17:22:02
I don't know. what to make of these signings Martyn, but as we know well by now, we have a very great knack at picking up donkeys over the last decade .

Read a few bits now about Poveda, and his antics raise the prospect of another Joey Barton . Obvs hope this is totally wrong .

And the JK thing just says to me why get shot of him if he's a talent in the making?

28 Jan 2020 17:57:59
Smoggy fans are fuming, and I quote : “ Orta, you get us Gestede for the PL, and Leeds get Augustin in the championship. ”. 😂😂😂😂😂.

28 Jan 2020 23:05:23
Orta is Leeds now

The guy gets this.

28 Jan 2020 11:42:53
you lot saying big kev is the answer . well we hope so . so unproven but your hero already . yes we all want that and let's hope 15 goals would be GREAT . then move over bamford.

28 Jan 2020 11:53:51
PSG Academy. PSG first team. RBL first team signed for £13m. U19 World Cup leading scorer and player of the tournament. Played CL and EL. Man Utd and NUFC tried to hijack the move.
Unproven?

28 Jan 2020 12:03:20
Messi would be unproven in the Championship if we signed him, everyone is unproven in a new league.
Still very happen to have him on board!

28 Jan 2020 12:10:50
Their Never satisfied bright, like my ex wife moans for the sake of moaning and critacices before the events even happened.

28 Jan 2020 13:46:32
1 unanswered question in your summary bright, if he's as good as you think he is going to be why did Monaco agree to terminate his loan?

Do you reckon Monaco love Leeds so much their going to sacrifice their own progression by giving us a real star player?

His transfer was 11mill and his goals stats were bang average in a poor french league.

28 Jan 2020 14:54:59
Chris, Monaco have too many strikers. He's only played 260 minutes in the league all season. (Not even 3 full matches. ) Let's wait and see. He may be useless but he may be the player to get us up. Give the bloke a chance! 🙏🤫🙈.

28 Jan 2020 16:45:17
Cheers danum, I didn't know. that and it does go towards explaining the situation, but I will remain cautious due to previous Orta signings, here's hoping that humble. pie isn't to bitter for me 😂😂😂.

28 Jan 2020 17:19:33
Monaco will have allowed 3 top class strikers to have left by the end of the window.
Their problem being exactly the opposite to ours! 😳.

28 Jan 2020 09:32:18
A few reports out there stating that Man Utd tried to Hijack the move for Augustin. Is their recruitment so poor now that their strategy is to watch who we are going for and try to sign them?

28 Jan 2020 08:58:04
Not a bad January window for transfers in. In terms of promotion we are at risk because of Bamford's shortcomings in front of goal. We may have addressed that with the Agustin signing. We are still very thin in mid field - the next three games will show how much we are reliant on Phillips. Hernandez is past hi best and is making less and less of an impact. Costa needs to improve if the wing options are to be of a promotion standard. Left back is a problem for us and Cooper has always been a liability at set pieces and he usually makes one or two howlers each game. The same applies to Casilla. Unsure at set pieces and is prone to make the odd mistake in each game. The transfers may have helped to a degree but mid field and defence are still a problem in terms of maintaining the consistency we need to get promotion.

28 Jan 2020 09:32:52
Other than that, were alright.

28 Jan 2020 11:46:49
Hesslian tend to agree with all of your post . we should have a stronger squad but don't

it is essential we win tonight . getting promotion is a must.

28 Jan 2020 12:04:13
Replying to my own ost. We can still create chances and capable of beating anyone on our day. Six points this week will put us right back on track. We don't want Cardiff to be the defining game like Wigan was last year.

28 Jan 2020 13:40:02
Maybe, just maybe, we are holding fire until promotion and then buying Prem quality players.

28 Jan 2020 06:02:03
There’s no pleasing some fans, is there!

Wanting your team to loose in hope your manager gets sacked when we are on the brink of getting promoted beggars belief.
The definition of a football supporter is to encourage and get behind your club, is it not!?
I wouldn’t want to be stuck in the trenches with some of you blokes.
MOT together or at least with some of you.

On another note the January transfer window is a notoriously difficult period to buy quality players. I thought it was as good as it could get in bringing in Poveda and Augustin. It’s very clear Bowen, Adams and Grey were not for sale.

28 Jan 2020 08:54:29
Good post OP totally agree, you would be ok in the trenches with me old son, but i may put 2 penciles up my nose and say wibble if we don't go up again this year.

28 Jan 2020 09:03:57
OP who wanted us to lose and manager sacked? I’ve said all along and get shot down that slating isn’t supporting but the definition of supporting is financial too that means going through the turnstiles to make the team stronger financially so we can spend £19.7 million on a player in January. A player I might add had late offers from Man Utd and Newcastle and a whole host of other clubs but he chose us over them because he obviously sees something positive going on at leeds.

28 Jan 2020 09:37:38
sounds like a catch 22 dougie.

28 Jan 2020 09:23:26
think it was aimed at me martyn. for the record i didn't say i wanted us to lose. i said belisa playing white in DFM is asking to get beat with beradi CB against millwall. they are 7-1 to beat us and sorry but i think that is a really smart bet.

as for being easy to plase. im well easy to please just ask the mrs. I just want leeds to be the best they can be. be that bravely fighting relegation or the amazing seasons in league 1 which i loved

one win in eight. making the same mistakes which are easy to fix (or attempt to fix) and P@@@Ing away promotion again will not make me a happy bunny.

i think our best shot at promotion is getting rid of belisa. said the same last year. time will tell if im right or not. so i hope we get rid or belisa proves me wrong. long as we go up i don't care either way

also as a londoner we have never won in london under belisa and each defeat means a tonne of stick for me. so no wonder i don't rate him.

28 Jan 2020 10:15:47
Comments of that nature are just fishing for attention. My advice - Don't bite.

28 Jan 2020 10:23:38
Lol Dougie!

Why anyone would want to go to Man U right now, I just don’t know!
And I love the trenches!

28 Jan 2020 11:33:50
Tbh berm I think he’s on about the beginning of season or the middle to end of last season when you did actually say it as I remember reading the post myself but you brushed it off when questioned about it, it was when you wanted wilder or Houston or pretty much every body else’s manager apart from ours because we lost a few games.

27 Jan 2020 22:50:34
Time to stand with those in the white shirts then

It’s no time for negativity or doubt

No could have, would have, should have

This is what we have and it’s as good as anyone else has

Make the difference

Make it loud tomorrow, make it a fortress again

They can’t hurt us in the air if they don’t have the ball.

Loud from the start, no doubts from now on.

28 Jan 2020 01:51:45
Good post Other Woody.

28 Jan 2020 07:17:00
Spot on Woody, this is what it is all about!
We must believe NOW . and show the players we have no doubts!

28 Jan 2020 09:05:47
Bazooka have you had a positivity transplant or sumat.

28 Jan 2020 09:38:17
Is that a poem Other?

28 Jan 2020 11:40:22
Martyn lol . I am always fair, reasonable and logical . the transfer window has just about come and gone now. nothing more will be done. its been. a reasonable one . and now we must get fully behind the Lads . always been a fan of Bielsa ( he isn't perfect but he is one of tbe best we have ever had )
