[quote user="Arthur Whittle"]Steady Essex white, or we might recommend Glenn Roeder to leeds when you sack Grayson lol.[/quote]   Thats harsh! it was only banter!!! [:|]

[quote user="Barclaybred"][quote user="EssexWhite"] [quote user="PhatCanary"]Was talking to some City fans this morning who are worried by the new loan players Leeds have brought in,i for one am very happy to see Leeds bring in a few new loan players,they won''t know each other and also they won''t be match fit,i think Leeds are clutching at straws a bit and trying to liven up the squad but imo they don''t have enough to beat us on Saturday new players or not!! What do you guys think?[/quote]   we''ve got enough to beat you new players or not, we showed that earlier in the season. Its not the personnel (in the squad anyway) that are the problem. To me, its motivational, and we''re shot of confidence, thats why you will win at the weekend, there isn''t a huge gulf in quality [/quote] Go do 1 essexsh.. On your waccoe site,most there believe we have a stronger and better squad than you,now run along..im sure your mates in their escorts are waiting for you in sains car park! [/quote]   where did I say we had the stronger squad? Go do some reading with your primary school buddies [8-)] 

[quote user="Gus"]I saw him play in the Carling cup, very good player. Will be a test for our full backs. Also the thought of the stregth of our bench is exciting.[/quote] I think we''ll play him up top mate, beckford probably won''t play. I may b wrong

What positions would you look at strengthening, and where would you realistically expect to finish? well preferably add something to all positions, and really you need to be challenging for the title with Celtic [;)] 

[quote user="Askounin"][quote user="City1st"] You will be in front of our fans this time.[/quote] I thin in Leeds current situation that is an advantage to them. I thin they would much rather be away than at home with the crowd on their backs [/quote]   Never thought of it like that. you may be right.

Its a great opportunity Lambo, I''d go for it [;)]

[/quote]   in all honesty mate i don''t know. I think there are 2 main reasons for our collapse (amongst several little ones), the man u win  (yay we''re on top of the world, dont give a shit about the league we''ll win the FA cup and play loads of extra games!!) and the beckford saga. The bloke clearly isn''t set in footballs ways, as his transfer request  and then turnaround shows how poorly advised he was. If the goals were still coming i wouldnt mind, but by his standards he has gone dry, and he''s off in the summer. I just wanna get the disruption out the club. the money isnt the issue either, bates wouldnt have re-invested it in to the squad! If the rumours of the grayson bust up are true, then we''ll just have to go and do the rest without him. personally I think the Watt from arsenal signing is confirmation beckford won''t play on saturday. If grayson goes 4-4-2, which i think he shouldnt, on saturday,  then watt will go up top with becchio IMO. similar players watt and beckford, pacey, and watt will have a much better touch, and hopefully will be just as good a finisher. He is a promising signing. [/quote] Thanks for the honest reply,i think that Watt looks an ok signing but i feel that the City management would rather see him playing than Beckford,has to be said that your boys need a lift because at the moment they will struggle to hold 2nd place,i just hope it comes after Saturday but if i was a Leeds fan i would be getting rather worried because after the Milwall game even Grayson looked worried and frankly as if he didn''t know what to do next,as a Norwich fan i can''t say that it didn''t bring a smile to my face but as we all know Football is a funny old game and you can never tell how your boys will react,lets hope for a cracking game Saturday and neither team are out of the promotion race if they lose but lets be honest if we win (which i have no doubt we will[:)]) your boys will have to pull up their socks and quick.  [/quote] we''re worried already. Grayson looked clueless. and it was only after millwall and southampton that i finally felt we are actually gonna get jumped by those below us. before that I felt we would stick it out. problem seems to be grayson can''t pick them up again. Grayson was given one mission: get us up, be it in 1st 2nd or 6th, just do it. That should dictate wether he is our manager next year. And he has got the squad

[quote user="City1st"]"Last time I checked, the best way of deciding whether you have enough to beat a team is by beating them!" err no, in many ways as that presumes everything is the same as then. the squads haven''t changed that dramatically since we last played, in terms of technical ability IMO.  We have a stronger squad. With Beckford likely to be out, as is your influential defender it won''t be the same. No it won''t. we have replaced them though, so who knows! You can not expect a gifted goal every time. Did we expect that goal kick that night then? [:S] Your form and, I would suggest, your confidence is shot to pieces. Agreed You will be in front of our fans this time. Don''t think your fans will be the problem tbh, we''ll probably outsing you, I''m more worried about your players on their home patch On probability I will give it to us. But that''s probability not the certainty you are claiming. But then you were claiming that certainty of promotion and the title when you were a dozen or more points ahead of us. erm yes, footballs a funny game, from our position back in december, most teams fans would claim the same tbh  Your fans wee claiming you had ''enough'' to beat Millwall a few days ago. We have (i believe), we certainly didn''t show it though and millwall deserved to win Do you have ''enough'' to avoid the playoffs ? That I''m not certain of, but on probability I would say no. Div 1 again I''m afraid. But you''ll probably have ''enough'' to beat Rochdale, Yeovil and Exeter. yes I do think we have enough, but I think based on how we are playing and the lack of "bouncebackability" means we probably will drop in the play offs. Couldn''t resist the little dig though could you [8-)]  ps I hope Beckford plays for you before he leaves, would be such a shame to leave on a sour note I couldnt give a toss how he leaves tbh. neither does he [/quote]

We outplayed you, and from that moment onwards realised that if Leeds were the ''best'' team in this league that we had nothing to worry about. We''ll see if you have ''enough'' to beat us. [/quote]   Look at the stats, watch the game. You played very well, particularly keeping the ball, but we did the important bit. Last time I checked, the best way of deciding whether you have enough to beat a team is by beating them! Having said that of course, you showed you an give us a good game and beat us, which i do think you will at the weekend.   (trying not to argue [8-)]

[quote user="BroadstairsR"] I genuinly want Leeds to come up with us. This view will upset most on this board. But they are a big club , big support (mostly not yobs) and have a history of achievement at the highest level. We consider ourselves out of place in L1. How must the average Leeds fan feel? They are one of the BIGGEST clubs in the league, They have done this country proud in Europe. I remember when they were the best team in England by a long way. Don Revie''s side were unbeatable. Apparently they did it by cheating re: Cloughie. It was not just that because they played excellent football The only time I have been "attacked" at a game was by Leeds yobs at Carrow Road they ran riot because we beat them. This was some time ago. But that shower are no more representative of the club that our little bunch of hooligans are representative of us. Come on Leeds. Lose Saturday but after that start winning again.   [/quote]   thanks mate!! [:)]

Yes!

Don''t have much to add to the OP''s post.   came on here for some good banter with our rivals but probably won''t stay much longer, hardly a contest is it? just want to get saturday out of the way, be happy to keep it under 4 tbh. fair play over the season. I thnk Lamberts a right to,sser as a bloke but a top manager, our managers the other way round!  

What about a song for Leeds like..... "You wont make the play offs!, You wont even make the play offs!!! Wont make the play offs, you wont even make the play offs!!!" Ha ha, wheres Spainboy, Essex white, Batesout mot??   I''m here motor mouth.   pretty sure we''ll get at least play offs! but i''m not of a sound mind right now to discuss it, as you can imagine!

[quote user="blahblahblah"][quote user="willynaylor"]all fair comments boys I think its more the players who have let us down though...the fans have every right to expect better, but since the Man Utd game they have been shambolic I still think its possible that we wont even make the play offs, let alone get 2nd with you guys guaranteed top spot, it seems no-one else wants 2nd![/quote] Fair doos to you willy for coming on here when the chips are down.  Haven''t seen spainboy or similar Leeds "fans" on here for weeks.  I''d like to think you''re more representative of the Leeds support, and much like Wednesday you''ve not had much to cheer over the last few seasons.  As much as anything I think most Norwich fans are just relieved that we shouldn''t be in league 1 for another season. [/quote] I''m still here, agreeing with Willy naylor as well [:(]

Ideally ASAP   but i may have to settle for Rochdale at home on the last day of the 2010/2011 season [:(]

[quote user="Mustachio Furioso"]Yeah but Southampton v Leeds featured the second and third biggest Clubs in our division.[/quote]   someones searching for a bite!! silly billy.

[quote user="TheNewBoy"]Ok sure, just send me the proof (ticket stubs with your name on) and I will transfer you the money, it would be well worth finding out who you are. I dont see any Norwich fans running up three figure post counts on Waccoe, and if they did I would be ashamed. Are you ashamed?[/quote] lol, honestly lad, I don''t want your money, and I do keep the tickets if you desperately want a photo of a Leeds 2009/2010 ticket. No I''m not ashamed, the board seems relatively welcoming to opposition fans, and me and a couple of others have had good banter/footballing conversation with your lot.  

[quote user="Evil Monkey"]I don''t think a thread with two posts, the last of which was written early afternoon yesterday, counts as an obsession... except by the Leeds fan who obviously just spent time looking for it on our boards... [/quote] and how many threads are there above it about us? wouldnt take much time would it

[quote user="Arthur Whittle"]Give the people what they want hey....ok then....we are top of the league!!![/quote] completely unrelated lol   Bates had it

[quote user="TheNewBoy"][quote user="EssexWhite"] [quote user="TheNewBoy"], perhaps I would have worked this out at Elland Road had any of them have bothered to turn up, .[/quote] you''re hardly going to attract big crowds everywhere you go are you? pipe down, it''s getting boring now [/quote] Oh listen to the tough man, who do you think you are? Al Pa-f*cking-chino? Doesn''t matter who your playing does it? We have sold more season tickets (19000) then you had home fans at that game (16500 after deducting away fans). Are you from Leeds then? Or Essex? Come on, spill.... I am networked all over Essex, whereabouts do you live? Southend? Canvey? Chelmsford? You wouldn''t be telling me to pipedown in the pub matey, not in a Norwich pub anyway, so don''t be doing it on a Norwich forum. You are in danger of looking like a serious loser at your rate of posting, an Essex based Leeds fan who submits comments on a Norwich City forum on a daily basis? I would bet every penny in my bank account that you have not been to Elland Road this year. Leeds, bleeding massive club, hundreds of thousands of fans, and none of them can be a*sed to watch their team play. It''s not getting boring for me, I can talk about this all day and all night sunshine.[/quote]   1.) I''ll take every penny from your bank account then fella, several times over. probably won''t get me far, but it was the bet. 2.) No, I know it won''t get boring for you, you guys love talking about us 3.) Correction, I''m not here on a daily basis. 4.) Like I said, pipe down, sorry for getting you all worked up!   

[quote user="Puzzy magnet "][quote user="batesout MOT"] This is clearly a sore point for you. Even in the premiership, you''d never fill a stadium the size of Elland Road week in-week out. [/quote] Neither would you. [/quote]   behave, we spent all them years doing it. christ.

The obsession continues....
