Leeds should be playing against 9 men here like. Xhaka has had 4 yellows and Lacazette should be off really. Apparently kicking someone isn’t violent. Who knew?

Yeah but that’s all he’s won. You have to win trophies in multiple countries and win league titles to be a top manager. So Alex Ferguson wasn’t a top manager then? He won league titles and European trophies with Aberdeen too. I know. So if Roberto Di Matteo eventually wins the Albanian League Cup in 2028 he’ll go down as a top manager.

Roberto do Matteo won a Champions League ffs! Fucking ludicrous argument

On a list of ‘things I give a fuck about’, Robbie Savage’s feelings feature pretty fucking low tbh. He made an entire career out of winding people up and trying to provoke a reaction. Can hardly complain now the dirty little wankstain.

I still thought he got it wrong! Huddlestone pushes him over. Kicks him on the ground then when Mijolevic kicks him back he gets sent off. Plus he hardly touched him It all seemed staged too that its the oliver the golden child of refs thats the first to do it. Or am i being cynical You forgot the (attempted) headbutt.

Not with that short-armed charva in goal they won't. Everyone on the pitch, in the stadium, watching the game knew that there was only one spot the ball was going if it was to be a goal. It was a brilliant brilliant strike from the kid but the shot was not traveling at 300 mph. It was about curl and placement and there was a reasonable amount of time for the goalkeeper to react. If he had positioned himself decently, he could have tipped it over the bar. No way to know but I am betting most PL keepers would have deflected that shot. I think he is great at reaction saves but not that great at positioning and some of the more important fundamentals of goalkeeping. Add to this mix his mouth: 'I won't blunder like Alisson': Jordan Pickford Last season all of a sudden, with no provocation whatsoever, he starts mouthing off about Allisson to the press. No one knows why. Agreed. The fact it went over him rather than around him makes it a bit of a positioning error imo. Superb strike but a lot of PL keepers would have got something on it.

Behave

It’s all about the clicks. Quality and accountability are out the window.

I’ve got a certain amount of sympathy for him, he’s been parachuted into an absolute shitstorm, new country, new league, new culture, new language and he’s playing for and being coached by utter fuckwits. It must be even worse with a £40m price tag dangling from his neck but he’s looked awful. I feel for him but there’s got to be a limit. There’s only so long the difficulties can be used to excuse him and his dreadful play. I like him and hope he comes good but he’s looked absolute dogshit whenever he’s had the ball at his feet or he’s had a chance in the box.

Exactly. It’s been done to death a hundred times on here. The people who can’t or won’t stop going are the reason he’s still here. They’re booing the failure they’re funding and enabling. I have no sympathy for them and can’t relate to them any longer. One day the penny might drop for them but I doubt it. I’ll say it again, fuck them. Well my point is the penny hasn’t dropped with them so harsh to give abuse Unless that’s a tactic to make people listen But as I said before might have a different view of things ( Ashley more likely to sell if we’re doing better rather than worse) We have been relegated twice before and apart from a total implosion which will probably leave us bankrupt anyway I couldn’t see him selling again in that position In fact the history that we went down last time shows it’s not a fact he will sell, probably will just over invest again I would say after a higher finish he would be more likely to sell as the club is then more attractive to buyers I disagree entirely but understand your position on it I’m thinking 10 or 15 years down the line if need be tbh. I want my son to have the chance to follow a team that wants to be the absolute best it can be, I’ve almost given up on it personally. But I’ve seen 2 fantastic teams put together under Keegan and Robson. I know it’s possible but under Ashley it’s completely impossible. In fact he actively doesn’t want it. Getting him out, regardless of how long it takes, is the only thing that matters right now. A sustained spell away from the PL is the only thing that might force him to sell up and fuck off. It’s not a given, but staying up or bouncing from PL to Championship guarantees Ashley stays. It’s not the nicest of realities, I wish there was another way, but there’s not unfortunately. Staying up each year just keeps the wheel turning. The idiots in the crowd are the ones pedalling. Very true, I agree fully Only thing that I slightly disagree with is that sustained life outside the premier league could lead to permanent life outside Though would probably be out club again then and we would know we are doing our best Thanks for the reply I’m that fucked off and disillusioned that I’m perfectly happy to roll that particular dice. Having something to actively support again, regardless of which division it’s happening in, is my only concern. I want my club to want to be as good as it could be again, the starting point matters not a fucking jot to me.

“We’ll support you ever more”...followed by the same people booing the absolute fuck out of them seconds later. They get exactly what they’ve paid for. Fuck them.

Never. They'll always find excuses for him. Exactly, he’s a safe pair of hands after all. Remember how well he did at Norwich?

Bruce is no one's puppet though, remember. If he didn't want to sign this big fucking lummox then he'd have definitely stood up to Lee and Mike and dug his heels in. But he didn't. He went along with it because he's as complicit in this as the pair of them. This is the exact reason they paid to get his from Sheff Wed. He's Bruce's boy. His £40m number 9. Can't run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds.

Still in the cup. Job done.

Correct result but I've got no idea why Rochdale didn't start the game like they ended it. Gave us waaaay more respect than we deserve

Probably broke them laughing during a training session. Brucey is such a laaad, funny as fuck hew.

Checks IP....

First PL side knocked out yet again. Who needs this Cup nonsense when you could be getting dicked in the league instead?

I hope he's had the lazy bastards in over the last couple of days after their surrender against Leicester. Double the laps lads, no excuses.

They’ll already have it the way they’re going you'd suspect. Won't they still only get the trophy on the final day or is it handed over as soon as it's won ? Their final home game I’d imagine?

I could kick Pardew in the face for an entire month and never get bored.

It’s his own fault, he should have rotated his boilers a bit better. Fucking shithouse.
