Ill thought out regulation, that one. That's depressing. Actually... no, wait... it's about Leeds. And Leeds were relegated. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Suddenly that regulation is little more than a nuisance.
davieG Posted 30 April 2007 Posted 30 April 2007 As I said earlier - the FA have been quoted on BBC NEWS24 as having stated that if they go into admin before Sunday the points deduction will apply to this season. It's not like me to nit pick, or you for that matter but are you sure it was the FA as I'd have thought this was purely a FL issue. Personally I think it's a crap idea deducting ten points as it's the FA, the PL and the FL abrogating all responsibility for the inequality endemic in the game these days. Some form of punishment, like we had, no transfer etc but 10 points is likely to kill clubs off completely.

Brainy Posted 30 April 2007 Posted 30 April 2007 talksport taking calls from Leicester fans on the topic of Leeds Utd and Dennis Wise i've already got my e-mail** in
MC Prussian Posted 30 April 2007 Posted 30 April 2007 Ermm.. OK then.We are Leeds and we know you are laughing. We are Leeds and we know the rest of you are up there on the moral high ground, pointing fingers at our terrible fans and listening to cosy love-ins on BBC radio as Peter Ridsdale, the Cardiff City chairman and former chairman of Leeds, denies all wrongdoing and tells how he shared a glass of champagne with his Hull City counterpart after the match that did for the club he supposedly loves. But why do you hate us? Is it because of the one-eyed revisionists who remember Don Revie’s team only as cynical Celts with the moral fibre of a Viking stag party and forget the mesmerising football they played? Is it because you remember the riots in Birmingham, Paris and Bournemouth but forget Liverpool in Belgium and England everywhere? True football fans should feel deep sympathy for Leeds United. Why? Because our history is denied by those who refuse to acknowledge the greatness of Revie’s Leeds and harp on about bribery, lucky suits and finishing second. Well poor old José Mourinho and his £200 million war chest should try doing the Double when you have to play the FA Cup Final on Saturday and the title decider on Monday. Leeds did that in 1972 and were called chokers. Everyone has it in for Leeds. From the referee who failed to spot the offside against West Bromwich Albion in 1971 that robbed Leeds of another title and sparked the first pitch invasion to the one who robbed Leeds of the European Cup final in 1975 and sparked the first riot. Dirty, dirty Leeds. I know Leeds fans can be scumbags. I was at Dean Court in 1990 when Leeds got promoted to the top flight after a weekend of mayhem in Bournemouth. I visited my future inlaws that night and heard how some Northern knuckle-dusters had burnt a friend’s beach hut and punched a friend’s daughter in a bar. Awful, yes, but the football section of any bookshop is full of memoirs of sad, little men who spent the 1980s believing that they were military generals at Chelsea and West Ham United. Leeds were not alone in their casual misanthropy, so why hate us more? And now that future generations will never know that Leeds mattered, the worst part is having our history misappropriated by the welk-eaters. Yes, Revie’s Leeds could mix it with the best of them, but Ron “Chopper†Harris did not get his nickname because he had a fancy bike and Graeme Souness sometimes missed the ball. It was not all of them, either — I bet Eddie Gray’s dog never even fouled a pavement — but the vilification of Revie has never been as objective as the treatment meted out to Brian Clough. We are Leeds and you are laughing, but you wait until the Roman Abramovich era blows up in your face. You are just like us, really — passionate, partisan and utterly at the whims of the people you did not vote for. We did not ask Ridsdale to buy Seth Johnson or pay Gary Kelly £40,000 a week until he is in pipe and slippers. We did not ask anyone to sell Elland Road and we certainly did not ask Alan Smith to say that he would stay in the event of relegation only to kiss his badge and bugger off to our bitter rivals. Who do we blame? Ridsdale’s board, a string of managers, underperforming players, Woodgate and Bowyer — it goes on. So we are Leeds and we have been kicked to death. We have had one cup final in 32 years, a 3-0 defeat by Aston Villa in the Coca-Cola thingy that left Howard Wilkinson feeling “emotionally disembowelledâ€. We live on pain and the pompous tosh of our detractors. So goodbye from the emotionally disembowelled of West Yorkshire. And thanks for nothing. Fair enough, some good points made. But if they hadn't sold Elland Road and the training ground, they'd have gone into administration a whopping two to three years earlier. Also, I do not hear any more racist chants from Chelsea or West Ham supporters (probably because Chelski don't have any fans anymore and the Hammers' main rival, Millwall, is at least one league further down). This is the Leeds Swan's Song. Still dwelling in times past - 30 years is an entire generation, if not two entire generations. And no one will shed a tear. GOING DOWN!!! From Leicester with love.
Joe. Posted 30 April 2007 Posted 30 April 2007 I feel like a quick laugh at Leeds, come join me if you like.... :laugh: That's better.

Unfortunately, there have been a number of incidents of racism at West Ham this season - Newton was victim to part of it just before joining us, he was abused in the stands while he was watching a game.

If West Ham don't want him, we'll have him.

Matt Posted 30 April 2007 Posted 30 April 2007 Cut the Leeds fan getting hold of an Ipswich player and a Leeds fan crying out of the paper today and stuck it up by my bench at work, It will always remind me...Can't be that bad ah?! Could be worse!

Brainy Posted 30 April 2007 Posted 30 April 2007 Elland Road - Leeds UnitedSaturday, January 21st, 2006 V Sheffield Wednesday, Championship League 3pm By Chris Stacey 1. Why you were looking forward to going to the ground (or not as the case may be): Well I was looking forward to the game but not really to going to the ground. The previous times I had been to the ground to watch Wednesday I was young and couldn't really remember but apparently my Dad nearly got ejected from the ground for arguing with the steward because I was stood on my seat! I also visited to watch England and found that the atmosphere was really flat even with a full house! 2. How easy was your journey/finding the ground/car parking: The journey was easy, took about half an hour from when we left Sheffield. As the ground is quite local we knew where it was and knew where the best spots to park were. We parked on a nearby main road which was just beginning to fill up with early arrivals like us, at around 1pm. 3. What you did before the game pub/chippy.... home fans friendly? Walked down to the ground at around 1.30 and thought it was a bit early to go straight in, so we went to get something to eat. The nearest place was the Subway Outlet directly across from the away end turnstiles. My Dad and my mate bought 2 of the biggest (and most expensive) sandwiches I have ever seen but I didn't bother. The home fans seemed okay,onsidering it was a local derby, just commenting on how many fans we had brought which wasn't that impressive at around 3,500 but that is all we were allocated. What?
lcfc_jme Posted 1 May 2007 Posted 1 May 2007 I really, really can't believe some Leeds fans. Seriously. I knew they were all idiots, but I didn't think even they could be so delusional and moronic. Incase you're wondering what I'm basing this on, I suggest you read this topic and bask in the sheer stupidity of the scummy twats from up North. I love it. Everyone that's indulging themselves at the moment, everyone that has or will sing 'You're not famous anymore' just makes our case for us. If we're not a big club and if we're not famous, then why are you all talking about us.We could drop to the Ryman League and we'd still be a bigger club than half the Premiership's current inhabitants.
lookwhaticando Posted 1 May 2007 Posted 1 May 2007 If they dropped that far down the leagues, they'd be by far the smallest club in the country because they'd have gone bust about 10 times over by then.
MC Prussian Posted 1 May 2007 Posted 1 May 2007 For all of you that still fancy re-experiencing the happenings of last Saturday, enjoy this ITV summary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qe2V893W3I
lookwhaticando Posted 1 May 2007 Posted 1 May 2007 "... Elland Road, packed out for once" :laugh: We never sell out, of course, but it still tickled me, the way he said it. :laugh:
City Lad Posted 1 May 2007 Posted 1 May 2007 sorry is already posted. Leeds United are thought to be ready to file for administration after their relegation to League One was all but sealed on Saturday. (Guardian) Leeds could play at South Leeds Stadium, home of rugby league club Hunslet, while they redevelop Elland Road. (Daily Mail) :laugh: :w00t: :laugh: :w00t:
potter3 Posted 1 May 2007 Posted 1 May 2007 I wouldn't but I want that c-nut in charge to know what it feels like
