Is it too late to take back what I said about not signing Ollie Watkins?

04 Oct 2020 21:35:28
Anyone can bag a hatrick against those red ones these days.

05 Oct 2020 09:19:25
way Liverpool played yesterday I'd of financed my chances and normally play in goal or fill in at DM.

04 Oct 2020 20:20:41
Glad we didn't go in for Watkins. Looks rubbish.

04 Oct 2020 20:55:50
Lmao 😂😂. Grealish is a lovely player. Last time Liverpool conceded 7, they also lost 7-2 to Spurs but it was 57 years ago when Bright and Zooks were just toddlers 🤣🤣. No top flight champion in English football have ever conceded 7 in a game until now.

04 Oct 2020 21:13:44
Apart from the only occasion when Black Cats beat Arsenal the league champions at the time 7-1, in 1953.

04 Oct 2020 21:16:26
Indeed we are talking a long, long time ago when I was a toddler😁.

04 Oct 2020 21:37:19
Lol George. thankfully, I wasn’t even a sparkle in my Old Man’s eye back then!

04 Oct 2020 22:13:24
You knew someone would google that dint you George.

05 Oct 2020 01:29:37
Yes Bige. Didn't want to be caught with my pants down. Talking of which.

04 Oct 2020 18:36:42
And I thought the Norwegian Blue was a parrot 😂😂😂 💙💛.

04 Oct 2020 19:42:20
Villa getting their money worth in Ollie Watkins.

04 Oct 2020 19:52:55
Ahh OW scores two for Villa against LiVARpool

It's unjust that Villa are even in the EPL this season, and signing OW, as that Sheff Utd VAR goal that should have been given last season against Villa would have meant that Villa were relegated instead of Bournemouth . it truly sucks 🥴🤨🤔.

04 Oct 2020 20:03:15
Good keeper Martinez.

04 Oct 2020 18:14:56
Could we get a petition supporting Oli, ensuring he can't be sacked until the end of the season.
How did Shaw not get a red for that?

04 Oct 2020 18:22:50
Farsley are you inside my nut? Olé has got to be viewed as a long term project down there, Rio said he's the man, and as we all know well now Rio, s the man 😂😂😂😂😂.

04 Oct 2020 18:25:02
Stick me down for 104 million signatures. Love Ole.

04 Oct 2020 18:27:52
I will start tbe. OLI MUST STAY 💜❤💜❤💜 petition.

04 Oct 2020 21:43:22
Can we please bow, and Pray, for Man Utd.
. and their ongoing laughable demise!
Oli will be sacked next week, and Warnock will be brought in to “steady the ship”.
Paul Butler will be assistant head manager coach, and Paddy Kenny will come out of retirement to solidify the shaky £250m back four. “Tonggy”. Will replace 2/ 10 Pogba, to bring some creativity.
You read it here first!

04 Oct 2020 17:19:19
Enjoying ManUtd spurs almost as much as watching Leeds! 😂😂.

04 Oct 2020 17:30:36
It's like getting an extra pressie for my birthday lol.
Same score for 2nd half pleeeease.

04 Oct 2020 17:52:52
I'm enjoying it way more. My happiness can't be contained. This is a wonderful anti-depressant for George. 🤣😉.

04 Oct 2020 17:58:09
Rounded of a great weekend
My under 13s win 4 0
Leeds amazing against citeh
Man u getting spanked 5 1
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

04 Oct 2020 18:14:46
6 now!

04 Oct 2020 18:26:19
The only thing is they might sack Oli afte this game and get a competent manager!
I was hoping we would get a full season of ' Oli at the wheel' mediocrity.

04 Oct 2020 14:59:30
Season so far, we don't need another left back, Dallas has been superb all season, Davies and alioski can play there if required . I'm comfortable that Poveda can certainly do a job on the wing and Harrison costa and maybe Rafinha if he comes in well will have depth there . I still maintain even after how good we have been we are short in central mid.

04 Oct 2020 13:26:57
What I will independently say from yesterday's game is I thought Koch was class.

04 Oct 2020 13:38:41
agree George. Only 2 players I thought wer off and not at best. Was alioski and Roberts. But that wasn’t hard too work out. All the rest superb. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️👍👍.

04 Oct 2020 16:53:42
Agree George, and he only going to get better with time! At £13 million, an amazing signing!

04 Oct 2020 10:50:43
Very happy chappy this morning . So proud of this team and what a manager! I will ignore the three or four average individual performances as we went toe to toe with one of the most expensively assembled club sides in history . MB's first two subs were bang on the money . Rodders was electric . Love how he comes deep to dictate play and one turn and 40 yard pass out of our penalty area to the right flank was mesmerising. Villa can keep Watkins! Already 7 points clear of relegation and looking upwards . We finish the window right and bag Raphinha and a centre mid and ideally move on Kiko for a safer pair of hands and with Bielsa anything is possible . Let's dare to dream .

04 Oct 2020 11:43:22
Hang on RHC it was only a week or so ago that you stated on this site that Rodrigo was an 'extremely poor ' signing 🤣😉 what happened?

04 Oct 2020 12:06:47
I think George said that didn't he Vid?

04 Oct 2020 12:31:07
Alf it was DEFINITELY RHC also

I stated in reply to RHC post that perhaps he should get a Rodrigo and Koch tattoo on his back side if he was proved wrong ( a la Berm) 🥴🤣😉.

04 Oct 2020 12:50:14
big difference BV Rodrigo and koch look to be imporving hence being wrong. for the sake of harmony I left KP out of my posts yesterday but I after watching Fulham and Man City game. i'm pretty confident KP will not be proving me wrong by a long shot

also for any doubters watch back the highlights of the shelf Utd game. wtach the clip of Meiliers first world class save. then go back and watch it again. ignore the shot and the save and play my fav game. what is Phillips doing. its very funny to watch. unless your a leeds fan. or KP.

04 Oct 2020 13:09:13
Alf Didn't say he was extremely poor but did question and criticize his signing and compared against the development and treatment of Edmondson.

I said he didn't appear to be a good percentage purchase in terms of the money. I also said while a good player, wasn't sure he'd be good for us and cited the pace of the (not so new) English game in the PL.

I'm not backtracking, said what I said but didn't say he was "extremely poor". He certainly played well second half against Citeh but still too early to judge. He is also still a sub.

I hope he does well and proves me and RHC wrong. Unsure that RHC's bashing of him reached Berm KP levels. Fans are allowed to be wrong, game of opinions.

04 Oct 2020 13:24:11
Baz I admit I questioned the Rodders signing and said I would have preferred OW . I just didn’t think given his stats he was what we needed as a first choice number nine . But he clearly has the skills to make an impact and help the team . Only worry is if Bamford’s goals dry up or he gets injured, whether Rodrigo can lead the line in this league .

04 Oct 2020 13:26:18
nothing has ever or will ever reach my bashing of KP. which has even got to the man himself

a mate I play football with is working with the media company who has signed KP for some advertising deal and my mate has been in a number of contract talks with Phillips and told him about me. phillips just laughed and said he might even come down for a kick about with me and my mates which would be a real privilege.

Apparently he grew up five minutes away from er and just brought a new house 8 minutes away. proper leeds through and through and when Jack Grelish (who Phillips is really good mates with) tired to broker a deal and get phillips more money it very nearly happened but he couldn't leave leeds. love this story

still think he is the slowest player in professional football and worst defensive midfielder ever. although his set pieces are quality the corner that went straight out for a goal kick yesterday was worthy of the name Pirlo. maybe old BW has got in his head!

04 Oct 2020 14:20:49
Fair comment RHC
I would have loved us to have OW as well as Rodders and Bambam too.

04 Oct 2020 15:11:32
Berm WOW! That's a very interesting post of yours. First off, I believe you. Second, my respect for you higher for disclosing. My question to you is now that you know KP is aware of your opinion, doesn't it make you feel like you should stop? I know you say KP laughed it off but you never know how a person is feeling inside. You're right he's no Batty and does lack mobility at times but with the increased speed and physicality the game has seen the last few years, it's a much harder position to excel in. Can't tell you what to do, but I think you ought to relent now. Like it or not, he's an England international and he's possibly going to meet up with you according to your mate which is very noble of him. KP is a very nice guy. I think he's earned a reduction in insults.

04 Oct 2020 18:37:34
Never George you get paid to play., you wear the shirt you represent the team. you live or die by performances. same with me if you buy my film or ticket to my show you have the right to slate it.

He is useless, remains useless and I have started a selection of videos to show him if by chance we do meet which I shall watch with him and talk him through and love to hear what he thinks. if he knows football he won’t have an answer. I sent it to my mate to show him with full Bermondsey analysis

Play better or I shall continue. if a pro can’t take it, they are not a pro.

04 Oct 2020 19:18:16
Berm why does KP often look like the culprit when things don't go well?
Because he's doing the job of 3 players.

Leeds style is to attack in numbers which leaves us vulnerable to the quick counter.
Our front 5 plus often at least 1 full back are in the opposition 20 for half the game leaving limited numbers back.
KPs job is when they counter he has to slow their play down to allow reinforcements back.

His positioning allows this to work and allows our system to thrive. Without him it won't work and very few can replace him (as we see almost every time he is out) . If he had pace hed be incredible, he hasn't and sometimes gets caught out for it.
Bielsa knows a lot more than you or I ever will so trust him to know who's the best for that role.

04 Oct 2020 20:10:50
Why would a professional footballer working under Marcelo. Want too even consider what you have too say about what way he’s told too play. give it a rest. He’s the professional not you. He’s plays for England not you. Everyone has an opinion bermo. But yours is wrong mate. Bet you he’s not sleeping well
At night with how bad he’s playing. 🤣😂⚽️💙💛💙💛💙.

04 Oct 2020 20:26:48
batts I never said he would give a flying fkuc what I said and credit to him, any professional that's listens to a fan ain't worth a rub. I always say that when people say fans shoulndt give stick and it can affect them etc. its waters off a ducks back and so it should be

canada he ain't doing the job of three people klich is. klich is scoring one end and then defending the other. I just hope he don't get a back injury carrying a 14 stone sack of Siht that is KP

as for missing him. no we didn't we won five out of five with stuijk playing and I don't think it will be long before he is taking up's place.

as for England please its so boring. roque jr played many times for the best country in the world. he still gets stick

Dave nugent, Paul konkeysky. I've done this list before. playing for England is not a seal of approval for being a good player. playing well is. and let's be honest he ain't been playing well so far this season.

04 Oct 2020 09:27:58
A well deserved draw yesterday. For us a point well earned, for them two points dropped so feel MB will be the happier manager. A real plus pont was the form of Poveda, taking on his man at every opportunity and certainly a starter, for me, next time. The only disappointments were Roberts and Alioski who just weren't up to it. Even Cooper showed a few question marks over his performance. A few more like that may sound the call for Llorente as Koch's partner. I am so proud that the lads weathered the first 20min storm and after that either team could have won and that against a, billion dollar, second best in the nation, set of players.

04 Oct 2020 10:45:36
For all that I love Coops, for his vast improvement, for his love of the club, and for his leadership and what he’s achieved with us, it’s inevitable that Llorente will come in eventually. He’s Koch x2 and Pontus x10.we will have the best defence in this league, behind Liverpool, with those two at the back, and both are ballers as well! Good times, even better times ahead!

04 Oct 2020 11:51:13
Agreed
Llorente and Koch with Coops on the bench.

04 Oct 2020 12:54:24
I have been big Slater of Cooper but I thought he did well yesterday only problem was he lost 100% of his headers. a cb that can not head a ball will also bring problems. I think Llorente and koch to start but I also tip my hat to coopers who played better yesterday than I ever thought he would.

04 Oct 2020 00:05:53
Roberts puts too much energy into his kneel and not enough into his game. I don't expect much from him and that's exactly what he brings. nothing. Maybe he should be played as a late sub instead of starting?

04 Oct 2020 02:50:55
OEC Once we land our new number 10, he'll be a sub.

04 Oct 2020 06:40:25
Even without the goal Rodrigo offering a lot more. As Rodders gets fitter expect him to occupy that berth earlier in games.

04 Oct 2020 10:15:06
That’s the thing, Rodrigo just isn’t fit enough yet, and with Pabs out, Tyler has to start. Once Rodri is up to Bielsa fitness, he will start, no doubt, and he will be an absolute gem for us!

04 Oct 2020 10:44:40
Not sure Roberts will even make the bench George.
If we played last years starting 11 (koch for white) we could have Caprille, Struijk, Llorente, Rodrigo, Poveda, Shackleton, Alioski on the bench. With talk of the likes of Raphinha, Campana and Cantwell I can see Roberts and even Alioski not making the squad.
Interesting times!

04 Oct 2020 10:51:08
absolutely Bright. He had some great touches yesterday. Really calm and collected too amidst the chaos all around.

04 Oct 2020 11:55:30
Roberts tends to play better coming on as a sub rather starting.

He has talent but needs to show it far more consistently.

It's clear that Bielsa though still has some belief in him.
