    I still think we can win all three but I'd take 7 points if the draw was against Sheffield U.

    I think I agree with this, it won't necessarily be Norwich or Derby that beat them but a Hull or Bristol City where there'll be less media spotlight. Dare I suggest that Leeds will be in the playoffs?

    I'd like all Clubs to be run like other businesses. Where they can only spend based on turnover, none of this operating at a loss of £100,000,000 nonsense. Look at Bournemouth, 10,000 attendances yet spending 8 mill on Mepham, ultimately it's not sustainable. Our beloved neighbors will never clear what they owe, their fans are praying for another sugar daddy to buy out Evans so they can start again. There are Clubs up and down the Country struggling to survive, while those in the Premiership are chucking money around. I know it's not going to change, football is no longer a sport, hasn't been for 20 years, it's a business and should be run like one.

    He has to say that though doesn't he? Truth is, that there are so few of them that he probably knows them all personally. I keep reading this and it makes no sense. Not been to a Derby in 15 years but my experience was always that the ones making the most noise and causing the most trouble were teenagers who go mob handed, have a few liveners and intimidate the general public.

    It seems that this is becoming a theme to our season. Blackburn was awful, even the commentator remarked on how they were targeting our 'touch ' players. Taking turns to foul an opponent, so as not to get sent off, is cynical in the extreme. Of course the result is that we've missed Buendia and Leitner for an extended period. Yes,we won at Ewood but at what cost? It would seem that Birmingham weren't much better Sheffield Utd next then 'dirty Leeds ' by the time we get to the Derby, 1p5wich could have a chance. 😱

    Yes, we all like to beat 1p5wich but the sight of their defenders looking like they're not even trying, like in the 4-1 1-5 season takes the shine off the victory.
  7. splendidrush
    Which is very bad news for our neighbours 😁

    I haven't read the Guardian in years, are they the font of all knowledge when it comes to the Championship.

    From memory, 19/04/09 they won 3-2. Max Aarons was 9... and Vera Lynn was number 1.

    ...aaaand relax.

    Still, we won't have to worry about it next year. They can terrorize Colchester and Fleetwood instead. TWTD is full of keyboard warriors threatening all sorts but don't even go to games. It's become so tinpot down there, that tickets for the game are going on General sale, it seems that Season Ticket holders and members have seen enough. It's sad when our rivals run up a white flag, diminishes the value of the Derby.

    Meanwhile, over the Border, there are no end of threads, have been for weeks, lots of 'willie waving ' about how much they all hate us. Six finger jokes and comments about sisters, you know, all the old classics. Shows the difference between us that we aren't so concerned 3 games out, yet they, with a relegation scrap on their hands are addicted.... mind you, it could be the last Derby for some time.

    I'd like to go 10 years unbeaten too ICF. I just feel that Farke doesn't get tied up in the emotion of it all. The focus is much more on the job of getting 3 points and on to the next game. Over the border there'll likely be much more in the way of mind games, they have their 'characters ' like Chambers, or Wilnis back in the day. Making headlines, trying to play mind games. Then there's Lambert himself, who thinks it's all about him. There will be some remark, that the press will jump on, just to stir the pot. The only way 1p5wich get anything out of this is if we're not on our game, this is the worst side that they've put out in living memory.
  14. splendidrush
    .... seem to remember, 3 pages back, that this was a non story. I said it had 'legs' and so it's proved.
  15. splendidrush
    It's been a while since my pearls were clutched... thanks for the memories.
  16. splendidrush
    Good luck to him, he has moved on, so have we. If we've saved some of his wages, all good. If he helps Reading survive, he condemns 1p5wich again, good. If he gets regular games he might have some value, happy with that as well.

    I'm not outraged either westcoast, I'm not even sure that there's a penalty to fit the bill. I agree that it isn't illegal and I'm sure that the football authorities will go out of their way to make a horlicks of any inquiry. That said, enough Clubs have expressed concern, they want clarification and details of what has gone on, no more no less. As already mentioned I'm glad it's not our Club caught doing this, legal or otherwise. Once this has all died down, all that will remain is the 'reputation ' Leeds will have earned... expect to hear it from the terraces for years to come.
  18. splendidrush
    If this ever gets to an inquiry, I think Bielsa will want westcoast to represent him.

    I've always felt the best songs are those with few words and plenty of repeats. Not a lyricist myself but.... (you knew there'd be a but) We're better than you We're better than you oo oo. We're Norwich City We're better than you. Simple, to the point and can be used at all games against any opponent. Ticks all the boxes. Maybe a take on the seventies hit 'When will I see you again ' just for the Binners.
  20. splendidrush
    Think they might go down the physical route rather than try to match us. Football wise, I think we're better but, just like Blackburn, kicking our ball players could be the best way for them to get a result.
  21. splendidrush
    Always introduced as 'former Man C, Leeds and Charlton defender ' never mentions us.
  22. splendidrush
    Oh that's it, finally shovel Nelson out the door and bring in another expensive striker to sit on the bench.... it's a no from me.
  23. splendidrush
    Not for me.
  24. splendidrush
    Not sure what he has to offer but he won't come cheap.
  25. splendidrush
    I don't think the authorities wagging a finger at Leeds sends the right message. They must establish that what has happened is not acceptable and that all other Clubs are aware, so no one is in any doubt that it will not be tolerated in the future.
