  1. Van Der Sar when he went to Fulham was really strange as he had accomplished so much leading up to that and was still young by keeper standards.
  2. If we use him how Man Utd used Wes Brown and John O’Shea, I’ll be very happy. Not the type of player I’d like to lose while while he’s able to perform at his maximum level.
  3. I hated Spurs for years because we'd lose our best players to them despite finishing above them. Ruel Fox, Ginola, Ferdinand, Jenas, Modric and Harry Redknapp choosing them over us.
  4. Robert vs Fulham Ben Arfa vs Bolton Solano vs Everton

    Footy trivia

    Got to level 23 on that quiz. Didn't have cable from 2000-2003.
  6. Pavard was brilliant tonight. They all were honestly. Chelsea should be embarrassed by that.
  7. He looked ok and then stood out as a weak link. Not like he was given that much time. 12 games overall. Does feel like he played more than that.
  8. Tottenham teams looks interesting. Doesn't look bad mind.

    Joelinton

    Think if Ayoze was still here, he’d be having an easier time. Don’t think ASM is a good partner for him.
  10. Celta take an early lead vs Real Madrid. Bale and Hazard starting along side Benzema.
  11. Good start from us. Look up for it.
  12. That’s a great point about Ward Prowse. Didn’t think about it like that.
  13. Aw Loved Ba. He loved his syrup. Also miss Cisse. He was such a ruthless finisher. You just felt you had a chance with him in the side. Loved when Ba went on the wing to accommodate Papiss. He was such a classy guy.
  14. I think Leeds are expected to play this dynamic style of football and they can’t sustain that for a full season. I agree the media plays into it way too much. They want him to succeed so much that it’s got him doing strange things? Did you see him running full pitch to celebrate a players goal in training. That’s not normal for him. He’s cracking. I really really hope they don’t bottle it this time. It would be a great shame. I could give a fuck about Leeds but it’s undeniable the amount of effort he puts in and the football really is exquisite. Also the fair play last year. See he really is a football perfectionist. I’m not sure how many other managers would do that. Wouldn’t you just take the goal and say we win some, we lose some? I think I’d just take the goal. I bet Arsene would have turned his back right there and say he didn’f see it and tell his players to continue.
  15. When has Bielsa ever talked about how good he is When he revealed everything in that spygate scandal. He was basically revealing why he was this world renowned manager and it brought a whole lot of unwanted pressure on him and the team. Feel like Leeds were under under pressure to play this intense style of football and it began affecting their results. Sometimes you gotta play ugly, man. He did that to show that the spying didn't make much of a difference. You also just made up that he did it after the Arsenal game too Did you see the production BBC did for the game? It was all about Bielsa ball. How this Lower division team full of unknown players with lesser ability could outclass a Premier League giant based on football philosophy alone. I just think it was too much pressure for the team to handle. And IIRC their form has dipped since that game. Maybe he’s better flying under the radar.

  17. That’s the thing I was hoping for - more of an impact. I just haven’t seen that. It’s just the same old average.
  18. Oh my bad. Oh well I’ll bring something to the table. That idiot Bielsa. The moment he starts opening his mouth talking about how good he is, Leeds begin to bottle it. All this happened after that Arsenal game. They were going along smoothly then the Arsenal game happened and they capitulated. Spygate? Right after that, all the attention, he starting getting overconfident and bam they bottled it. He’s a right cocky bastard.
  19. Is he any good? I haven’t seen anything special apart from this one touch from a throw in. Maybe Hayden is better tbh. I don’t know.
  20. Noooo the Leeds keeper is bottling it? Aw man. I thought he was so against Arsenal that day.
  21. Haven’t read any of the thread but I just want to say I hate playing Arsenal. We never get a touch of the ball. They totally outclass us. We rarely get lucky breaks against them. Players like Giroud would shine against us. Fucking Theo Walcott. WhoMs it gonna be this time? Even that bastard Ozil had his moment against us. Fucking hate playing Arsenal. It’s just so gosh darn grim.
  22. Oh man I love it too. At first I didn’t like one of his co hosts, the Watford fan but he’s grown on me a little bit. Can’t believe they did a Crouch fest and (I think) sold out the 02. I really wish they just strictly covered his Liverpool career honestly. Then we can get some Rafa insight. That’s all I want tbh. I’ll be honest, sometimes I don’t like when he said that he retired because he thought he was becoming a gimmick player. He should have embraced it for as long as he could. I mean he had a long career but maybe he could have played longer. This is a really random thought but I don’t know why James Ward Prowse is still at Southampton. It’s so obvious he’s going to be one of those hard working pro type players. I really hope he doesn’t go to City and become a squad player. I think he could be Ander Herrera esque at Man Utd. I hope he starts his entire career. He’s good enough. Stupid James Milner went to City and sat on the bench. Yeah he won trophies but he spent some prime years sitting on the bench. I think I looked this up but he never started any of their final victories(did come on as a sub when they lost to Wigan) i mean Gareth Barry was starting over him in that City midfield. Gareth Barry?!? I don’t know.
