lake district canary 4,531 Posted November 4, 2021 I'm sorry I don't get this. So we're bothered what other fans think? Do we care? People misquoting and taking Farke's comments out of context is good? Personally couldn't give a flying f*rt what any Leeds supporter says. We were not far off them on Sunday and if Kabak hadn't lost his head and gone charging forwards from the wrong position to do that, we might have got something or gone on to win. Leeds were pretty poor too. Don't understand the op either, seems to be approaching our predicament like a bull in a china shop. Too heavy man! Lighten up on it a bit! We are all concerned and want the best for the club, but right now we need the team to do well on Saturday and go from there. No amount of this kind of stuff is going to make any difference to anything and certainly not from anything Leeds fans might have to say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

littleyellowbirdie 2,513 Posted November 4, 2021 10 minutes ago, TeemuVanBasten said: Teemu Pukki had scored 17 goals in 43 games in European competition before signing for us, and that's both Champions League and Europa League, the idea that he was a nobody before coming here is somewhat ludicrious... he'd just lifted the Danish Cup when signing for us and was already Finland's man main. I don't think he was expected to score quite as many goals as he did, but he was very reluctant to join a Championship club and took some convincing. Really? How much did we pay for Pukki exactly?

In short, those 3 boys really shouldn’t be crowing because their team aren’t exactly top performers themselves by any stretch of the imagination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
komakino 272 Posted November 4, 2021 I thought the podcast was quite funny. Farke notoriously talks a lot of crap in his post match 'interviews', so is there to be shot at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we're struggling then it's other factors and NOT his ability as a manager that's the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,078 Posted November 4, 2021 Interesting to hear their comments on Sargent. Similar to what a number have said on this board, and presumably based on his single performance against them and maybe some moments on MOTD (probably the Brighton miss sticks in the mind) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure why you feel the need to pretend that Teemu Pukki was a complete unknown though... if anything he never fulfilled the potential that the football world considered him to have when he made his Finland debut at 19 and was signed by Seville.

He's outstanding when it comes to improving players. That's why so many fans are confident he can deliver promotion again. "I'm the manager and so is my mate"......

The truth is that Cantwell needs to grow up, acts like a teenager and he's almost 24. The point at which you had to resort to making things up is the point at which our conversation ran its course.

No big secret so didn’t feel the need to bask in the glory of agreeing that we’re not having a good time of things at the moment - I think we all, erm, recognise this! They said nothing groundbreaking or original in the few short minutes I watched, and I would hazard a guess nothing changed in the remainder. As I say, they are not in a position to gloat by any stretch of the imagination. I totally appreciate supporters different viewpoints on here, but the way you go on in particular comes as across as bordering on hatred for all things NCFC.
