RedLionLad Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Leeds games for December….. Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa. Most teams would struggle to get anything from those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved watching Keegans Newcastle and have had a soft spot for them ever since. Newcastle - “best fans in the world” nonsense grates on me. Their gates sunk during the late 80’s early 90’s until Keegan came. Their treatment of Steve Bruce was vile. Everton - nothing club since the 80’s and whinging entitled fan base much like Newcastle. Merry Christmas. 3 hours ago, MC RISK77 said: 3 hours ago, MC RISK77 said: Edited December 19, 2021 by TomThumb84 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All successful clubs attract a number of plastic fans. I would occasionally go to Anfield when I lived there in the 90s and the support the team received if they went behind was impressive and often led to a draw or win. In the relatively lean years of the mid 90s attendance levels held firm (Newcastle's attendances were way lower during their lean spell, pre-Keegan) and that they were dignified in the loss to City in '94 was quite rare; they knew a good performance when they saw it. This, and the way they stuck together during the various episodes of the Hillsborough story, suggests they deserve credit as a club and a fan-base. And I think Klopp is probably one of the good guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireSection Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Living in Leeds really gives you a proper perception of the teams following; .I can't leave the house and go to the local shop without seeing a Leeds shirt, they really do follow their Citys cause, its pretty impressive, if I'm honest, I'm a little bit jealous that they have the city to themselves (to a lesser state I remember living in Cardiff and feeling the same, although the difference is incomprehensible). If things keep going the way they are, small teams will find it increasingly hard to survive unless they have a GENUINE benefactor, or receive success soon. I don't think the council/political Bristol would allow the gas to fold, as much as id love to see it I doubt it will happen in my lifetime, unless City become very successful and soon, hmmmmmm!

Interesting to see that Leeds aren't being treated as a big team any more. All decisions going Arsenal's way. Mind you with Andre Marriner on the pitch and Michael Oliver in the VAR box anything is possible. I seriously worry whether it's worth getting to the "promised land"? Heading rapidly towards league 1 = Premier League? - never fancied her anyway! Edited December 21, 2021 by Arsene's Wanger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to remember the whole team wearing tshirts in support of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it about getting beaten 7-0 or their fans racially abusing Arsenals subs that sets them apart from the likes of Norwich? Being slightly or even a lot better than the canaries won’t necessarily keep them up as Norwich are bound to finish second bottom at best. I’m sure they will stay up of course, but lately Burnley, and Stoke before them, have spent plenty of time in the PL just surviving and taking the occasional scalp.

SPAZZA Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Nice to see all the love guys To answer a few questions. Yes Bielsa does speak English, he’s just not confident enough to answer in his detailed manner using English. The Premier League is shit, not because of the results but the “stinky six” get EVERY ******* decision. Amazing how Rudiger tonight and Kane / Xhaka last week stay on the pitch, Liverpool player breaks a Leicester players leg with a horrific challenge and Klopp doesn’t come ONTO THE PITCH putting his arm round the ref to get a player sent off, like he did against us when it wasn’t even a foul! Judge Bielsa when we have a full squad, there have been definite cracks this season, however we are utterly ****** for injuries, truly truly ******. Recruitment has been poor to be honest which hasn’t helped, in game decisions have been horrific at times from the manager. Its been circulating that this will be his last season, we all hope not to be honest, the squad needs a complete overhaul as age is catching up with many, which when you consider the fitness required makes it worse. The one city / club thing I have mentioned on here before, Bristol just doesn’t have that pedigree, it doesn’t have the real needle and bloody mindedness, it doesn’t have the aggression (not on about fans with handbags), it doesn’t have any expectation of being ambitious, it’s sad really but it is what it is. Fans, yes we are obnoxious c***s, but the support for the team is undeniable, the support for the manager is unwavering. At present we are injury ravaged playing the top 6 and getting pumped, we aren’t going to beat them with what we have on the pitch at the moment so why do anything else other than support? All clubs have sections of fans that think their support is great / the best but I’m yet to see it, all the “big” clubs have tourist fans and library atmospheres that clap when they score, almost like an expectation and boredom they’ll score, it’s weird. To summarise, the Premier League is not what it’s cracked up to be, it’s still “officiated” by a small inbred pool of morons, but now they extend that to some absolute dribblers in front of some screens so they can all “miss stuff” that would inconvenience the bigger sides. Anyway, onto you guys. How the **** are you struggling in what is the poorest Championship quality wise for years? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only have a few players playing at their peak. We are in a period of change as Pearson tries to sort the club out with no money available. If we can stay up and keep hold of our better youngsters, who will benefit hugely from this season’s experience, then the future is looking quite bright.

I think browsing other forums is fine, but caring so much about what people say that you feel compelled to respond in detail is just a pointless exercise. Fans are biased and emotionally invested - a mini essay about Leeds United’s fortunes and belittling our club isn’t going to win hearts and minds.
