Stuarty I dream💤 💙💛 of you coming off the bench tomorrow and scoring a Dallasy special from outside box to silence the Emirates except for Leeds end. I forking love you Stuarty 💛💙.

Man crush.

05 Jan 2020 20:48:33
Always want my team to win, but saying that as long as we don't pick up any injuries or sending offs not really bothered how we do. 3 points in our next league game means more.

05 Jan 2020 23:28:26
I'd gladly take a 1 goal loss due to a dodgy VAR call with no injuries whatsoever and is being the better team.
With 8-9 first tamer playing and last year us running out of steam I'd happily take less games.
Then again i'd also love to beat them!

06 Jan 2020 09:42:46
The only "do not want" is a replay.

06 Jan 2020 14:09:51
Leo That's exactly what I want and what I think will happen tonight. Realize it's an extra fixture but 2 benefits. 1 Even more money for FFP manoeuvring. 2. Another game for certain elect youngsters of ours.

06 Jan 2020 17:11:09
George, a bit of a side issue, are you now, or have you ever been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and if not, why not?

05 Jan 2020 14:59:09
VAR ought to be retrospective awarding us the 1975 European Cup.

05 Jan 2020 15:26:21
Totally agree Georgey.

05 Jan 2020 15:39:42
And the double in 72.

05 Jan 2020 17:13:06
And the Cup Winners Cup in 73.

05 Jan 2020 17:38:23
And the screamer Lorimer "scored" against Chelski in 1967 disallowed because their wall was supposedly not far back enough. Problems with this argument though are 1. It was back 10 yards. 2. Goal should have stood even more then as Chelski had an advantage if anything. 3. There were no infringements and 4. Ref blew his whistle to resume play.

05 Jan 2020 17:48:02
Ah lads cats outta bag now, ye are a bunch of Ovaltine drinking, slipper wearing, give up the bus seat for the old fogey, lot. 😂😂😂😂
Me and my 21years will have to leave this forum!

05 Jan 2020 18:10:06
That’s why he knows nowt eh george lol, you asked for that Chris.

05 Jan 2020 18:19:06
CC You omitted the sucking on a Werther's Original, drinking Gaviscon liquid and polishing me war medals whilst watching Hilda Ogden fix her hair!

05 Jan 2020 18:34:15
and playoffs against watford . keeper should of been sent off and us given a pen at 0-0 which means we also didn't get relegated to league 1.or am i scraping the barrel with this?

05 Jan 2020 18:46:46
All love lads, keep up the posting because it. sure as shite is better than Instagram or Twitter . By the way I ain't on either .

05 Jan 2020 19:39:07
twitter is currently being flooded with posts about my upcoming show. tickets are on sale by the way.

05 Jan 2020 19:58:02
Berm Is the title of your show called Thick Jack Clot sits in the Stocks and gets pelted with Rotten Tomatoes? Do you play Jack? If so, sign me and half of Leeds up for near the front. Stick it all on me visa. Corky shall bring the tomatoes. 🍅.

05 Jan 2020 20:07:55
Looool Georgey.

05 Jan 2020 20:37:31
Instertwitter thingy, what’s that?

05 Jan 2020 20:38:26
Baggy have first shot 😜.

05 Jan 2020 22:16:19
George leave them in the tin though!

05 Jan 2020 22:23:59
Ha ha ha Berm would absolutely love it if you lot turned up lads! Knowing berms sense of humour he's probably writing the stocks and tomato throwing scene in as we speak 🤣🍅.

05 Jan 2020 22:40:26
Funny George 😂.

05 Jan 2020 23:06:14
dam right i am DJ anything to sell tickets!

06 Jan 2020 08:54:42
You’re not wrong DJ!

06 Jan 2020 08:56:03
George wouldn’t dare risk a public appearance because that would blow his cover.

06 Jan 2020 14:13:02
Alf You're right but I may come out of hiding to join my banter brethren in the summer to celebrate our imminent accession to the PL.

06 Jan 2020 16:27:02
Would be great to meet you George. You should come out with us sometime anyway.

05 Jan 2020 13:52:41
Berm, you Wall fan, which Championship club in your opinion is bigger than us? Love to hear this.

05 Jan 2020 18:10:33
Shhhh it’s quiet.

05 Jan 2020 18:37:34
most if going on recent history

we have big fan base but that it is

if on history both derby and forest dwarf us as european champs

on money i think a lot of teams but us

on recent history then a lot of teams have been prem teams after we were last prem team, most have not been in league 1 either

lets be honest and not biased over last 15 years we have been a leauge one club over a prem club even joke teams like huddelsfeild have had a better past 15 years than us and they are yorkshires car park. we ain't a big club at the moment. we are a small club with an amazing fan base.

05 Jan 2020 18:45:30
also saw comment on other page but thought better to comment here regarding past success

we did ok in the 60's-70's i stand by that. we had a great team and played great football but only leeds fans will known that to outside world you are judged by what you won. and we didn't win much really in the grand scale of things, a couple of cups and two leagues is not a huge club who was successful

liverpool, arsenal, chealsea, city, man utd are big clubs who won a lot. they are big clubs in the football league. i don't think we can put ourseles in there bracket in all honesty

so we did ok back then not great. i would say we was five cups short of being good over 15 years.

05 Jan 2020 18:52:28
Chelsea aren’t a big club . I remember before abramovich they were getting barely 20k watching.

05 Jan 2020 19:18:45
Derby?

05 Jan 2020 19:37:12
BW re your two posts above have you been down the boozer sunshine with your bs

1 'Derby dwarf Leeds as European champions' lol . when did Derby win a European trophy BW? . never is the answer. in fact Derby have won fewer trophies than Leeds

2.Yes Leeds only won 6 trophies ( 2 leagues, FA Cup, League Cup,2 Fairs UEFA Cups ) in this period but due to their own misfortune, corrupt UEFA refs, inept FA refs and FA we were cheated out of winning the 1975 European Cup, 1973 Cup Winners Cuo 1972 League etc

Leeds have never been a ' small' club BW not even when they had L1 status
Bigger clubs Man U, Liverpool yes . any other club I would argue it is open to debate.

05 Jan 2020 19:42:36
yes slough but chealsea have won more in the last 15 years than we have in the last 100 so that must be a big club surely?

and yes Derby have been champions of europe a feat we have not officially managed so in my book that makes them bigger than us

all counter arguments come down to fan base. i have said we have a big fan base, we are a one city club. however that don't make us a big successful club

our 100 history don't compare to some who dwaf us and our recent history is very poor.

05 Jan 2020 19:54:04
Berm To your opinion and posts supporting (including using a PL club to justify who is the biggest in the Championship thus unilaterally and falsely altering the parameters of the debate) , I've got 2 words to say to that.

The first is an anagram of "heist" and so is the second.

05 Jan 2020 19:59:04
Derby have not won the European Cup. Perhaps you are confusing them with Forest?

05 Jan 2020 20:00:15
Or Villa?

05 Jan 2020 20:06:07
BW
Derby have not won any European trophy BW . involving teams in Europe. just checked their official website to make sure
Derby won a tin pot trophy called the Texaco trophy in 1972 beating the jocks team Aidree maybe you mean that? lol . if not give the name of the European trophy and year you still decidedly believe Derby have won.

05 Jan 2020 20:11:46
BW, When did Derby win the european cup? Never!

05 Jan 2020 20:16:25
Berm definition of big just happens to exclude a 40,000 seat stadium in a one club city with a population of a million people who've won all the domestic honours available to be won and were cheated out of a European Cup but won all the others European trophies. #thickjackclot.

05 Jan 2020 21:46:14
I think Leeds are the 15th most successful club in terms of trophies. Above us and not in the Prem are Sunderland, Blackburn, Forest and Wednesday. Berm is right particularly over the last 15 years we have been way below par and anyone born in the last probably 20 years would not count Leeds as a big club.

05 Jan 2020 21:57:06
But not right about Derby winning the European cup Tuppence.

05 Jan 2020 22:09:08
Great post Alf. Sunderland don't count as they're in League One. Blackburn? Do me a favour! 😂 Wednesday are big but not as much as us and they know it. Two club city half size of centre of Universe. Forest is Berm's best argument but I don't give a fork. We are Leeds, we are Leeds, we are Leeds, we are Leeds 🎶💛💙.

05 Jan 2020 22:20:08
Derby champions of europe? Berm been on the sherry!

05 Jan 2020 22:22:27
Derby?

05 Jan 2020 23:12:21
to all I do apologise Derby ain't won the european cup i think i got confused with forest and villa

however going back to George's orginal post. why would adams and other players not come to leeds we are the biggest club.

on what other than fan base? recent history we are not a big club. we ain't done nothing but fail in 15 years

as alf said go outside of leeds and ask anyone leeds are not a big club we ain't been top flight for far to long to be seen as such

and if we are going on history we have not won enough to be seen as such compared to. big successful clubs

so why woud players join us. why are we the biggest club. great fan base 100% but big club. not sure we are and how we can justify this. leeds are a bit like newcastle. one city club with huge fan base so think we can sometimes get carried away

if i was a prem player looking to go on loan I think i maybe see other clubs as big as leeds if not bigger. i would certanly see other clubs as less of a risk given what happened to eddie and clarke.

06 Jan 2020 12:41:27
Derby did go on a package tour to Malaga though.

06 Jan 2020 13:08:16
brilliant woody that made me laugh

in their defence it was all inclusive and they did pay for the watersports package as well (jokes welcome on this line)

bet they saved a fortune on all inclusive as the derby boys do like a drink so i hear. just hope they also shell out for cabs for all. not that i would accuse derby players of drink driving.

06 Jan 2020 15:14:36
The thing is BW you grew up watching football in the 80s . not the 60s or 70s which you missed . the vast majority of people over a certain age definitely refer to Leeds as a big club. even those who watched Leeds in the decade of the 90s up to 2002 would not refer to Leeds as a ' small club ' . just you.

05 Jan 2020 09:55:15
Apparently we are in for Luke Freeman . I don't rate him personally ( no dynamism / physicality ) but as long as it's only a loan with no commitment to buy and he acts as back up 10 to Pablo and Roberts, I can live with it to help us over the line .

05 Jan 2020 11:02:41
Is this the same lad we were interested in at Bristol/ QPR?

05 Jan 2020 11:39:43
Yes formerly of QPR and played well against us last year.

05 Jan 2020 12:42:44
Yep MB must like him and think he can work with him

Decent option on loan.

05 Jan 2020 13:06:53
Better option than Forshaw for me think he'd fit in our style of play and more likely to chip in with a goal or two.

05 Jan 2020 13:39:31
Freeman can play multiple roles such as centre midfield, attacking midfield and wing therefore would be a Bielsa type player. Additional support to a midfield that has been light in numbers in the past couple of months would not be a bad move.

05 Jan 2020 16:34:13
Anyone not injured is a better option than Forshaw.

05 Jan 2020 18:39:12
to be honest i think that would be a decent signing.

05 Jan 2020 09:43:17
Ding ding round 2, let the moaning begin.

05 Jan 2020 11:02:37
Or you could label it more accurately 'genuine concern for Leeds/ Radz/ Orta etc
NOT to repeat the same mistakes again as 2018/ 2019 season re last summer recruitment this January window recruitment, ensuring promotion etc etc ' MOT.

05 Jan 2020 11:36:21
well said bazooka

i find it odd that some are put out by others concerns for leeds. I mean we ain't man city and it is not like we haven't failed spectaularly before

yes things are going well but far from perfect and we have previous for messing up don't we.

05 Jan 2020 12:28:38
I just find it funny that 4 days into the window opening and most are flapping like big Bertha, s knickers on the washing line. Get a grip. Start panicking when it’s 12 hrs to go and we haven't signed anyone.

05 Jan 2020 13:11:21
Martyn you have a short memory. of .2018/ 19 January transfer window from Radz/ Orta.

05 Jan 2020 15:01:46
Past is past, if nobody is signed then come back in 4 weeks and moan but it don’t matter to some on here who we sign as they won’t be good enough for us.

05 Jan 2020 18:40:27
martyn in my job they say you are only as good as your last performance. so until rads does better he can only be judged by last jan transfer window. and that wasnt good enough

it is not our job to stop moaning. it is rads job to prove us wrong and shut us up.
