They would soon change their tune if they had witnessed what some of us have had to endure this season :shock: it's certainly not called football as i know it, a high price to pay watching footballers & a manager who earn more in a week then the majority of us supporters earn in a year
Leon, I get what you are saying. I can't be there to stand among the supporters every match like you do. I wish I could, that would be a lifetime's dream realized. But lets not forget that for all the turmoil the club is going through, this also happens to just about every other club in this league at some point also. We are not immune to slack play, lazy attitudes, and the rest of it. I think Simon is the man for the job at Leeds United.

Tell you what lads, Townsend is a bit of a player. Very quick, takes on players, decent crosser of a ball, good shot on him. He llinked up very well with White, they scared the hell out of Burnley and were the resposible for three of their bookings (2 ultimately leading to the sending off).

The thought of Townsend and Snoddy of the wings pleases me.

Exactly how it sounded on the comm, Adam. As you say - if ONLY Snoddy was available

Great player! just what we needed.

I did honestly think Grayson had lost the dressing room.. but judging by todays last minute celebration's, that's not the case.

Maybe just give Grayson until the end of the season? seeing as there is only like 3 months left.. there's not much point in swapping and changing now?

If he doesn't get us up this season, he can go.

Now we need a few more players, i'd say 4 top quality ones. Loans will do.

Not if its owner only allow it to sniff in the sh*t.

That said the analogy is useless as pigs hunt truffles by smell so their eyesight is irrelevant.

Sean St Ledger, Maynard or Beckford loan in.

None of the above are likely not sure who he will go for next, Andros is used to the loan system and has done well at each of his spells, will do well here.

Hearing a brilliant story that he arrived at Leeds in such a hurry, he forgot his boots! They were sent up by taxi, ahead of the game! :lol:

Paul Green was warnobs best signing.

tbh, listening to him from the comfort of my bed, in the dark, in my boxer shorts at 3am in the morning... he reminded me of Sanchez Watt...... lots of pace and the ability to get round people, but very little quality when it came to the crunch...

Lets not put too much pressure on the lad just yet, eh...

It was HIS run and strike that led to Ross' goal tho.
Don't worry - The coaching staff at TA will turn him into crap in the coming month or so. :twisted:

im not having a dig at him.. im just saying lets not get too excited.... it was his tame shot that the goalkeeper dropped and led to an easy tap in, wasnt it?

i wish we didnt have to play Arsenal next week :?

I just want 2 weeks of wheeling and dealing and for us to show up with a new team against Crystal Palace, full of enthusiasm...

----------- Lonergan
New LB - New CB - Lees - White
------- New CM - Clayton
Snoddy - Howson - Townsend
------------ New ST

(i know JH and Snoddy probably wont be fit)

Is Andros allowed to play against Arsenal? I'd love to see him tear their current defence to shreds! :twisted:

If he could do that I'm hazarding a guess he'd be in the Tottenham side.
