    It's okay, I feel the same way. I hope Rotherham beat us tomorrow night. We have nothing to play for, and I'd much rather Derby go down than them. 

    In fact make it blatantly obvious we're throwing the game, really *** that cheating *** Mel Morris off 🙂

    And then we end up getting relegated after the EFL find us guilty of bringing the game into disrepute and dock us 20 points, 10 for the offence, 10 for being from the north.

    So many arguments with my mates at the moment around "punish the owners not the fans"

    Absolute ***. There's a list of about 40 EFL clubs that have been screwed over by terrible owners and each time the club and the fans have had to suffer. Now there's talk of consequences for the big 6 it's all "aw that's not fair on the fans though". I couldn't care less. Welcome to the real world of 21st century football. 

    Aye it wasn’t us fans who decided not to turn up for the Blackburn game. It wasn’t Sheff wed fans who decided chansiri could sell the stadium to himself.

    If the PL/UEFA were serious about nipping this in the bud it should be big fines, a significant  points deduction and a minimum years European ban. At least that’ll ensure most fans won’t forget about it in 6 months time, because let’s be honest this’ll be largely forgotten once the next distraction pops up like; whether Rooney will be fit for the Euros or when Pogba‘s new brand of aftershave comes out.

    All-seater stadium? Bloody luxury! When I were a lad we had to sit on cold concrete steps and be grateful!

    30k crowds for Premier League fixtures? I remember when Boro played in front of two blokes and a dog! And one of 'em were the bloody groundsman!

    Youngsters today don't know they're born...

    Concrete step!?!? We used to watch the game from a paper bag in a septic tank

    then we have Warnock and his hoof ball heroes. I mean when you read it all back like that it really is so so so bad. 

    I honestly didn’t think that we would get worse from the Pulis days, but I think the prospect of more Warnock is worse. 
     

    It’s a short term “solution” and we’ll be left in the same sad state of affairs we find ourself in now. 
     

    I am done. 
     

    The last 4 years have been genuinely horrendous but I can’t agree that this is worse than it was under Pulis.

    I mean under Pulis there were times we played a flat back 5 of shotton, ayala, flint, friend, Saville. 4 plodders in midfield and Britt stood up top with literally no one within 50 yards of him. 

    At least this season Neil’s brought a bit of flair in general played people in their actual positions. Admittedly he appears to have lost his *** In this respect in the last few games.

    I’m not making a case for Warnock’s long term vision by the way, whatever the *** that is. Just that he is marginally less crap than Pulis.

    Have you been in an accident in the last five years that wasn’t your fault?

    No, but that could soon be the case if people don't finally accept that Spence was mainly to blame for the goal. Better angle video to show how inept Spence is at defending and shouldn't be anywhere near our first 11.

    Israel have the benefits of an exceedingly well-educated, relatively small population, excellent healthcare, loads of money and a start-up attitude. They are very good at getting things done.

    Aye like wiping Palestine off the map 👀

    I agree with you about personal responsibility as well though and seeing ourselves as victims, humans have an unbelievable capacity to overcome difficult challenges. I think there's a balance between us needing support and working our *** off. I'm not saying that Black people don't work as hard obviously but I think its an easy option for all of us though sometimes to blame someone else when we could work harder. 

    I put a lot of stock in the “personal responsibility” viewpoint. Probably from reading/watching a lot of Jordan Peterson.

    And FWIW I think a lot of the single variate studies that get peddled to show things like gender or ethnicity based pay gaps are usually just lazy statistical analysis and are generally put out to show a pre-conceived point. You see it frequently with the nonsensical gender pay gap argument.

    Thing is, there's absolutely no shame in a lower mid-table finish for a promoted side, it's an achievement in itself.

    I'd be buzzing with that as a Leeds fan, it means you've stayed up.

    But the media circus around them is unrelenting, despite their results not being particularly noteworthy, as Neverbefore said, they're not even the best promoted side in the last few years. They weren't even the best side in the Championship last season, Brentford were.

    Bielsa being nominated for world manager of the year solely on the back of getting Leeds promoted is farcical.

    This guy’s admitting to being a Leeds fan....

    Pulis is just up to speed with the times; you can be as truthful or misleading as you want as a public figure as long as you say you're being honest.

    In the lying ***’s defence he did say “he wants to be committed” not that he will be.
