Re: West Ham Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Jeez, that's unreadable ..... Yeah you're not going to get reasoned discussion there so not a lot of point.

Re: West Ham Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
For me West Ham = Booby Moore, Martin Peters, Geoff Hurst and Trevor Brooking. Brooking is one of my all time favourite players - a brilliant two footed player. Brooking together with Glenn Hoddle were England's most talented midfielders of the late 70s and 80s. Hoddle was a worthy successor to Brooking in the England team.
It's also the club that we signed Rio Ferdinand from.
Talking about Hoddle has there ever been a better English passer of the ball ? His range of passing and his vision was incredible, as was his ability to make those long passes with backspin which dropped right into the path of the forward...I've never seen a player with that kind of ability in the domestic game since.

Re: West Ham Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Both super talented players.
With Glenn it was back spin, top spin, side spin, no spin, left foot, right foot. He could hit a coin from 60 yards...Like you say, Currie wasn't that far behind.

I'd worry about getting a virus from that site. Given the formatting looks like it is from the era of Internet 1.0, the code must be older than some of our youngest members on here so I'd worry about just how secure that code is.
Re: West Ham Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
I thought I'd put the questions on here for anyone who would like to answer them. WHO, as mentioned, is very old school, hardcore. But no longer 'hard'. We're mostly that old that in a pissing contest the winner is normally the one that managed to get it over his shoes.
Some Qs are serious, some banter. Treat them as you will and feel free to take the piss. The article is meant to entertain as well as inform.
The deadline is midnight, tonight.
Many thanks in advance.
Why can’t Bielsa speak English yet?
Cup of Tea
What do you think will happen to you when Bielsa leaves? Is there another manager who could get the same level of performance from that group of players?
The Straw
Back in the day, with the likes of Bremner and Hunter, you had a reputation as being a dirty team. That can’t be said of you now. Do you prefer that label of old (dirty Leeds) or do you quite like this new incarnation of Clean Leeds?
Charley Farley and others.
Brian Clough is my favourite Leeds manager. Do you regret letting him go after only 44 days?
Gph
What 3 players would you take from West Ham to improve your starting 11.
One All
Does it bother you that you have to walk past a statue of a ginger Scottish midget on the way to a home game?

Tony Yeboah Vs Patrick Bamford. The winner is?

What’s your view of our massive club West Ham?
Are you happy with Leeds owners?
Would you sell us your keeper?
Max Martello
We spunked our Rio money up the wall. What did you do with yours?
Hammer and Pickle
When do you expect to get relegated again?

Do you have any idea why WHO member, Manuel, is such a tedious cxxx?
Joey5000
Did any of you attend Upton Park when Billy Bremner came up against Andy Malcolm?
Mr Kenzo
After Rice took the absolute piss out of Phillips when we played you at your gaff .... do you still think Phillips is better?
Norflundon
What's going on with the fxxxxxx haircuts in your team? Looks like Sunday league at the fxxxxxxx burns unit.
Vexed
What’s your view of West Ham as a club?
Your score prediction for Monday?
What are your favourite crisps, and do you think that the mobos are racist?
Darlo Debs
And finally,
I haven’t got any friends, no one respects me, and I’ve recently been replaced by a talking till in Poundland. If I became a Leeds supporter can you promise me that my life would be better? I’ll try anything.
Manuel
I'll be back to collect the answers and will then edit.
Good luck on Monday (which, in rhyming slang means 'I hope Bamford breaks his leg in the warm-up).

Re: West Ham Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
I promise you that you won't, Lumiukko. I've used it for 25 years and have never had a problem. You're right though. It's ancient, and what's worse, the site admin went AWOL a couple of years back and I've discovered, through 1964s message, that no one new can get in. We're the Titanic of football forums, slowly sinking into the icy depths.

Don't think a cockney is ever in a position to question anyone's ability to speak English.

The Straw
No, no other manager would have got more out of this squad. Of the 11 players who have played the most minutes for us this season 5 of them were part of statistically a bottom 3 Championship team in the calendar year Pre Bielsa and 1 had been farmed out on loan prior to MB arriving, that goes to show what a job Bielsa has done. Dont like to think of what will happen when MB goes.

Bit uncomfortable with the media darling stuff in truth, doesnt suit us.
Brian Clough is my favourite Leeds manager. Do you regret letting him go after only 44 days?

I wasnt born i cant comment.
What 3 players would you take from West Ham to improve your starting 11.
One All
Di Canio, Payet and Ian Wright.

Does it bother you that you have no home and play in a soulless Athletics stadium?
Tony Yeboah Vs Patrick Bamford. The winner is?
Geoffpikey
Bamford, although i think Tony could still take him in a game of tiddlywinks.
What’s your view of our massive club West Ham?
A slightly less neanderthal Millwall.
Are you happy with Leeds owners?
Radz yes generally although he has made mistakes. The 49ers absolutely not I'd love them gone, dont trust them at all.
Would you sell us your keeper?
Max Martello
Yes, i will even give him a packed lunch for the journey.
You will love Kiko Casilla
We spunked our Rio money up the wall. What did you do with yours?
Hammer and Pickle
Bought some fish i think.
When do you expect to get relegated again?
Branded
Could ask you the same question.
Do you have any idea why WHO member, Manuel, is such a tedious cxxx?
Joey5000
Because he is a member of the World Health Organisation and they are all quite dull I'd imagine.
Did any of you attend Upton Park when Billy Bremner came up against Andy Malcolm?
Mr Kenzo
Alf wasnt lying, you are all really really old.
After Rice took the absolute piss out of Phillips when we played you at your gaff .... do you still think Phillips is better?
Norflundon
Rice played well in fairness, good player. Better than KP? Hmmm
What's going on with the fxxxxxx haircuts in your team? Looks like Sunday league at the fxxxxxxx burns unit.
Vexed
Your name suits you, far more important things to worry about, calm down.
What’s your view of West Ham as a club?
Decent working class club, decent history without many actual accolades. Green Street was a class film.
Your score prediction for Monday?
Lets go 2-2.
What are your favourite crisps, and do you think that the mobos are racist?
Darlo Debs
Smokey bacon.
And finally,
I haven’t got any friends, no one respects me, and I’ve recently been replaced by a talking till in Poundland. If I became a Leeds supporter can you promise me that my life would be better? I’ll try anything.

First line sounds like a typical West Ham fan.

Re: West Ham Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Had a reet old giggle at the banter.
Of course Brian Clough leaving after 44 days was a blow to the LUFC trophy cabinet, providing his success at Forest replicated itself at Leeds. His mouth was just too big and he wouldn't shut it.
Is midget a pun on Billy's mother Bridget or in reference to his 1.65m stature?
Hmm... it's the bubble blowing Gollum vs Bucket Boy Bielsa and 3 precious points that mean more to WHU than they do to LUFC, whom have already over achieved even without the addition of Lingard and Soucek in midfield and a cresswell at Leftback.
Whatever the score on Monday LUFC are safe from the drop and a loss means nothing. The small London club going nowhere, reflected by their most famous fan being a closet spurs supporter, cannot afford to drop points to a yorkshire outfit decimated by injuries to the midfield. Should Leeds claim the spoils Gollum could be out of a job sooner rather than later, thrown from a sinking ship that leaves only bursting bubbles as a reminder of what could have been.
Next year we'll see a strengthened Leeds burst your bubble and send you right back to that same wall you pissed Rio's transfer money against.

Re: West Ham Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Can't really see us getting anything out of this game or the next one, unfortunately. It'll be 3 league losses in a row for the first time this season and #bielsaout will be trending the second the final whistle goes after the Chelsea game.
