Classic Kinnear, another car crash interview where apparently the recent woes are a good majority of the fans fault . That's right Kiko dropping + fresh air grabbing + paddys misses etc are all due to fans not backing the players . Sounds about right Angus!

CC Total unprintable word Snake Nag Ruin is.

06 Feb 2020 09:47:28
He’s wrong, yes, but some fans aren’t helping. Prime example would be the doylem who tweeted Kev, asking him to break Bambam’s legs in training. We have some truly disgraceful “supporters “.

06 Feb 2020 09:54:29
Ah come on bright, it's meant to be a joke man, No person would ever advocate breaking someone else's legs.

06 Feb 2020 11:22:36
Good job I wasn't the interviewer for Snake Nag Ruin otherwise subjects for discussion may have been steered toward the Garden of Eden and winning races with the finishing line only accessible via a closed and locked door.

It’s a pretty carp joke when both are pinned in it, and Bam’s confidence is shot tho!

06 Feb 2020 13:22:04
And why would his confidence be shot bright? Rhetorical question alert!

06 Feb 2020 21:57:18
How do we know that was even a fan. Sounds more like a wum.

07 Feb 2020 07:52:12
Bright bam bam confidence was shot long before he became a Leeds Utd player, that’s why he was sold, some managers can see that unfortunately Leeds Utd can’t.

07 Feb 2020 09:59:18
It’s a fair point Chris. Who can say at what point it started going wrong. When he was younger, he was one of the most sought after strikers in the country. What changed? Would love to have an insight to his performance in training. Is he banging them in during practice? Is he hitting the target? Only MB and the team know. 🤔🤔🤔.

If you looked at another club, any club and they were top of the league around Christmas time, 3 years in a row and repeatedly failed to win promotion.

The owner sold the best players at every opportunity and failed to invest properly to strengthen the side.

A club where even the dog in the street could see what was needed.
What would you think? You would think that owner has failed his club.

While I am Leeds to the bone, if we fall away, Orta should be removed with immediate effect. Bielsa will go alongside the better players, those who are able to play at a higher level.

Rads for me should also be on his way, he will have have blown 3 great chances. He will have betrayed the fans trust and loyalty.

He should appreciate the upset of the people who support our great club, so he fully understands how he has betrayed them by not re investing some of the funds he has made on transfers.

05 Feb 2020 19:28:06
Leeds1970 fully agreed . it amazes me that there are still some people that think Radz is doing a good/ decent job . when in reality he is asset stripping, making money, saving money with his gamble that Bielsa can get Leeds promoted on threadbare squadm

Really hope Radz sells up in the summer but with Radz proclamation off a 5 year plan . will he stay 2 more years?

And was there ever any serious intent from PSG, Qatar, UAE, USA to buy the club last year, this year or is that all more bs spin from Radz?

05 Feb 2020 20:14:39
No surprise to hear I also feel the same now is it boys? 😂😂😂
Thing is and it's really quiet clear to see, the Brand Leeds Utd is performing very very well, although some will tell you it's not, ya right .
The team Leeds Utd however are the drain on the brand, the team needs upkeeping which he has to do but very very begrudgingly and with as little expense as possible .

He's a shrewd man obviously you don't amass a fortune being a clown, so that's the conundrum in my eyes

Brand v team and I think I know which 1 Andrea much prefers.

05 Feb 2020 20:16:22
If we do not go up I am hoping the scenario is that QSI takeover with a promise of substantial funds. This then keeps all our top, top players with some quality added. Manager, well I will just keep quiet; that's a whole new ball game.

07 Feb 2020 08:01:33
leodis what we need is a prince with bottles pit of money QSI May not have enough,

Tbe FA fit for purpose?



The FA charged Kiko on tne 4th November on an alleged incident in September.

Is this the longest procrastinated FA disciplinary hearing in history?

. as it has been over 3 months since the FA charge and still the FA claim they have no idea when they will set Kiko's personal hearing. How can that be?

If this happened in the work place of most employers I expect disciplinary proceedings to be urgently concluded in a matter of days or weeks not months ( or year)

05 Feb 2020 20:20:30
Bang right Baz! It’s farcical. Psychologically must be gnawing at him.

05 Feb 2020 20:59:18
Indeed Bright .

Some conspiracy theorists might say it is a deliberate ploy by the Leeds hating FA to unsettle the player and the club with his reputation at stake and all tne endless uncertainty of a never ending final decision let alone even having his personal hearing

The FAs endless ( seemingly some might say deliberate) procrastination of this disciplinaty proceedings brings the FA and the game into serious disrepute

. the FA . a professional competent, unbiased, non discriminaory organisation?

05 Feb 2020 22:36:59
After the success of spygate last year, maybe they just like to have something hanging over us to try and put us off.

06 Feb 2020 01:34:13
Indeed Alf .

I wish Bielsa would rest / drop Kiko due to his loss of form and until this FA matter is finalised .

Meslier should be our first team goalie.

05 Feb 2020 09:48:35
Think we might start assessing what type of fans post on here. Blind optimist, realist, pragmatist, ones that will here not a bad word said, ones that will assess each matter on its merits. Those with false optimism and those downright pessimistic.
What category does everyone fall in to.

For me I think I can see the faults and weaknesses also the strengths which are many.
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst is probably the best approach as it is about the easiest way to get over disappointment.
For this season, we appear to be on a slippery slope again, can we turn it around?
Fatigue, energy levels and squad depth are big concerns.

05 Feb 2020 10:30:59
Leeds 1970.your penultimate 2 sentences are the most pertinent in your post.

05 Feb 2020 10:41:25
Think i am a Pragmatist. I say things as i see them. Will give praise but also highlight mistakes or shortcomings.
We are a better team, play better, than three years ago but have not progressed much from last season. Problems have not been fixed, problems that were evident to every one. We only defend for about 15 minutes a game and let goals in. We are on the ball for 60 minutes or more a game and have numerous chances but we do not score much.
We started the season with one striker who can't score, big mistake. We started the season with two CBs, big mistake. Once again it seems we have a plan A and little else. We may get out of this league this season but if we do not sure it will be just the players who struggle in the PL.

05 Feb 2020 10:55:40
I’m probably a slightly pessimistic realist that’s always right though👍.

05 Feb 2020 11:09:16
As a supporter of many, many years and having been built up and let down so many times before I am probably a bit of a pessimist with pragmatic tendencies, but above all, at the end of the day, as St Davey said, I'me A Believer!

05 Feb 2020 11:18:23
I don't normally post here, but always like to read the thoughts of others. I clutch to the hope that our slide has really occurred two months before it happened last season and we can come through it and kick on. Fortunately, there is no relentless Sheffield United chasing us either. next two games will be telling!

05 Feb 2020 12:57:22
Pragmatic. Pleased with the football over the last two season but i am happy to point out mistakes made (IMO)

05 Feb 2020 23:18:22
Pessimistic, optimistic, pragmatic and a realist, depending on results. 🤷
