I give up, wake me in 30 years when we get good again 
the only consolation is that the blades will fuck it all up at some point, like every year

Did you know no other team in this league has been here longer than us?! I think it's time we deserved a break!ChrisFilter said:I give up, wake me in 30 years when we get good again

He's on our board of directors! Not sure exactly how much money he's put in (in fact dont think he's put any in the tight git!) think he's some kind of "honoury" board member (like an ambassador or summat) Still, could be worse, could be Elton John!ChrisFilter said:

I'm just looking forward to you failing to go up, seeing your parachute payments finished and the Leeds scum folding as a clubburnage said:3 wins, a draw and one defeat for the once mighty Leeds United. I wasn't very optimistic about this season but have been pleasantly surprised so far. great win against forest gump & co on saturday....
You've took a bit of a gamble spending this season, and if you dont go up, with you're debts the future doesn't look to good
And then there was joy

Innit just!Fidel said:Its like a dream seeng the Hatters 3 up from the top of the table, above clubs like Leeds and of course clubs like WatfordAnd Milwall at the bottom
Shame I've been on me hols for two weeks, I keep missing us winning! And I missed the chance to take the pi$$ out of ChrisFilter for our win v the foxes, he he
And all this achieved with Steve Howard suspended (we're not a one man team anymore.)The team that has surprised me the most this season is Norwich....by how how useless they've been so far

Bentley signs for Palace tomorrow.

Judging by last nights performance we [Stoke City] could be a darkhorse this year, especially now we've got Gallagher in from Blackburn to back up Sidibe and the two strikers who are due to sign, one pending work permit appeals {Sambegou Bangoura from Standard Liege} Lee Chadwick is playing out of his socks for us as well !!

knee jerk
n.
1. A reflex contraction of the quadriceps muscle resulting in a sudden involuntary extension of the leg, produced by a sharp tap to the tendon below the patella; patellar reflex.
2. A characteristically bitter outburst of vitriol by inhabitants of south yorkshire [sic] whenever Leeds United are mentioned, resulting from envy, jealousy and an inability to face the reality that Leeds, no matter how shit they happen to be at any given time, will always be a bigger club than any team from sheffield.
best of luck to you too!

hmmmmm - were the 21 goals he scored for you last season all complete flukes then?Calum McD said:
tbh I was surprised blackwell brought in another striker when a decent central midfielder would have been a far better investment. maybe he simply couldn't resist making a bid for Cresswell knowing that he was about to sign for sheffield united, just to piss warnock off....

Sorry, but could you tell me your average attendance this season? Then compare that to W*dnesday's attendance. Then go back to what you have just written and amend as appropriate!burnage said:knee jerk

(Also your average attendance is only 1k above ours)
Oh and another thing, as I was explaining to Butchersapron (another dissillusioned Scum fan) being a "big club" doesn't put points on the table does it? Otherwise the pigs would be top of the league, instead of propping it up. The "big club" argument is used by fans from teams who are shit as some kind of fall-back as league positions tend to prove for definate who is the better team
Last year we finished above you and beat you twice (did you see us beat you 4-0 at bellend road?!) The season before that (where you were still a "premiership giant") we still were the better team beating you twice again. This season we are above you in the table and we outclass you in every position in the field
You might have a bigger stadium than us (for the time being) and you might have more fans (suppose 1k more isn't much but considering we've been down here for god knows how many years and we have had a Premiership rival its not too bad - actually Sheffield gets approx 45,000 fans goin to see football, Leeds only has one team so get all the fans from Leeds) but at the end of the day, none of that matters
All that matters is Sheffield United are the number 1 team in Yorkshire and no amount of crying from the Leeds scum will change that!
i think the defeats against hull and brighton have finally persuaded most of those sitting on the fence about bobby williamson at plymouth to join the anti camp. the 'argyle fans disgruntled by lack of continued success after the last few seasons' is a bit of a lazy stick used against those who have turned against the manager. no one really expected us to produce any barnstorming run in the championship, but equally no one expected us to be struggling to beat some of the teams at the bottom, many of whom are no better in standard than some of the league one sides in my opinion. williamson has time and again shown a complete lack of tactical ability, rarely making meaningful substitutions until it is too late, even when we have been 2-0 down. i have every sympathy for williamson as a person. it must be difficult to see everything you try fail. i think he should be given a few more games to turn things around but i would hope that if the current run continues the board act well before christmas before we find ourselves in a rotherham type situation.

that was probably the main reason
Cressy scored 2 league goals the season before that (no - he wasn't injured and, infuriatingly,
, never lost his place) - his striking partner : David Healy! what was even more annoying when Pav Abbott, who was kicking his heels on the bench, was sold to Huddersfield and is scoring like a good 'un.No probs with Cressy's work rate. But his link up play is non-existent and he's not the sharpest in the box.

We're five/six games into the season, you maniac!
Anyhoo, so far you're doing well and we're doing well. Should be an interesting season. The thing is - and I think you know this deep down - that although things could go either way for the mighty Whites, your precious Blades will, sure as eggs is eggs, end up in seventh or eighth spot, two points off the play-off places, same as they always do. Bless.

Maybe!
I've seen Sheff Utd in the playoffs three times (including two finals) We haven't been the same since 2003 but this season we have an awsome squad and it has depth, something we've not had for god knows how many years. We've had an easy run this month (and to be fair we should have won 6/6) so I'm looking forward to playing some of the better teams and for the first time in my life I am completely confident!

to make way for cresswell blackwell has just offloaded matthew spring and clark carlisle (2 young players with a lot of potential) to watford. they've gone straight into their first team and seem to be doing very well, especially spring who couldn't even get onto the leeds bench for most of last season, but has already scored 2 goals from midfield for watford in the space of a few days....

Spring loked ok in the few outings he had last season, but talking to people who saw him in the reserves last year, they say he looked shit. Good look to him though.
As for Carlisle, at his worst he looked like another Duberry in the making. There's been rumours of a fallout with Blackwell and that he might be back on the piss.
I don't know much about Creswell but was a bit puzzled by his signing. Cover in central defence and an attacking midfielder should have been higher priorities. But with Bakke now gone I think we'll be seeing more of Blake in midfield.
This season's looking promising. Am reckoning on the play offs at least. Bit worried about where the money's coming from but with Bates in charge he's never going to tell us what's going on.

two kinds of wonderful
due to our new toy called sky, i have been able to watch QPR play twice.
i am gutted, we look a shambles - especially in defence. what's happened to my boy big dan? looking slow santos dont look too bad, nad royce made soem quality saves against wolves (unfortuantely, not when it counted...) but there's no communication between the back 4 and the keeper!
quite like the look of new boy moore though
i predict mid table obscurity, and would be pleased with that on our last two performances.

Right, well, Leicester could be going down
We sell Connolly for £3m, brilliant bit of business to be fair, but who the fuck is gonna score for us now?! Are current crop of shit has about 10 goals in 100 apps combined.. Hume looks a great player, but he's a forward, not an out and out striker...
Craig Levein has really fucked up here, paying a fee for Elvis Hammond smacks of desperation - he's known that Connolly was a target for Wigan for weeks, why the fuck was no-one lined up?!
We're gonna be down here for a while.. the days of Leicester as an established top flight club are long gone
