I suppose all of these players fall into the "pure scum" category, then? Rubbish.

Scraping the barrel there mate? WTF f**k do those players have to do with a club who have cheated and bought their false glory?
Added to by your players who I have put in italics on your list. Also SCUM. Left our club to join that despicable cheating bunch of manipulative, sky sponsored assholes.
How DARE you put John Giles on your list. He LEFT scum to join us, as he saw Leeds as a bigger and better club.
Admittedly, it was a different scum when he left them - but to put his name on the same list as the Judases I have put in italics quoting your post, is a disgrace.

I'm the one pulling at straws? Have any of those players left under circumstances that actually involved us not letting them go? Let's go down the list of your italicized players:

Alan Smith - Left the club to prevent going into Administration. Manchester United was the ONLY club to pay us decent money for him.

Joe Jordan - Left the club after 8 years and 170 appearances, during decline, and for record fees.

Gordan McQueen - Also left after several years and many appearances, during decline and for record fees.

Eric Cantona - Blame Wilko for selling him for pennies.

Rio Ferdinand - Left for record fees, again.

You can hate them all you want, whether you think they were glory hunting or just assholes. But the fact remains, none of them left without being let go for record fees. I wont concede any of these players to you, because they all left on equal terms for both parties. And to hold a grudge against Smithy just shows how far from the boat you are. He's never been anything but Leeds, through and through. Leave it to fickle fans to tarnish the reputations of fabulous footballers over a derby.

Also, about Johnny Giles: the ONLY reason he left Manchester United was because Busby FORCED him out. Please explain how joining a STRUGGLING, SECOND DIVISION side was a step up.

Be realistic. Be more than just a fickle fan.

EDIT: And yes, I know that both McQueen and Jordan said some hurtful things upon joining the Scum. That can't go unpunished. But to throw away everything they ever did for us because of something they said in their 20's, upon joining a highly successful club is just ridiculous. Theyre footballers, not role models.

Sadly, not true. There were several clubs for Smith, but he was the one that WANTED to go to scum. Even despite his claims, in previous years of Scum were the only club he's never play for. His ords not mine!! Also, his despicable filmed singing of the Munich song!!

Rats jumping a sinking ship you mean.. Hmmm, now where have we seen that before.
wisconsinWHITE wrote:Gordan McQueen - Also left after several years and many appearances, during decline and for record fees.
So another glory player after his own ends? Also, his famous quote of All players wanted to play for scum and the rest are liars epitomises the whole ethos of scum players, staff an fans!!

Again, Wrong! Cuntana was sold because of his daliances with other players wives AND the relatives of Lesley Silvers. Silvers Ordered Wilko to get rid!!

Can't argue with owt about him, pure business deal!

Not quite. See the edits for a truer picture! You claim that Barcelona are cheats etc? Well, that they might be, but no more than ANY other European football club, it's what their brought up on. However, scum on the other hand are NOT any other European team and as such should know better, but they don't. They lie, cheat and barrack anyone and everyone to get their own ends. They treated the relatives of the Munich dead disgracefully and even paint the wrong picture to the world about the survivors. I grant that they are one of the best clubs sides in the world, so why the constant cheating? When they were famously beaten by a third division side the magnanimous manager fu**ed off without even shaking the hand of the victor!!!! Oh aye, a real sporting team. Sorry mate, but scum are whats wrong with the English game! Just take a look at that ginger to55er Scholes. Only last week nearly ended the career of a footballer with studs straight in to the thigh, then Ferdiscum runs in fists blazing. Is he not the captain? Can see the potential and worth, but hate them with a passion for what they bring to the game.

I cant really disagree with most of what you said. I dont want it to sound like I'm justifying much of the sh*t Scum pull, but I guess I just look at it like... when you compare the football that Scum played to get to the final, compared to the cheating sh*t served up by Barcelona, I'm stuck because the only way I can separate both sides and actually enjoy the final would be to see Scum win on the small basis that we've shared a number of excellent players and that they've deserved it.

While it pains me to say that, I still feel that Scum winning it would be the best thing for the future of football. You're right, it IS most of Europe doing it. Although I didnt see much of it in Marseille or Schalke, primarily just the Spanish sides.

This World Cup was one of the most shameful displays of a lack of respect to the game, and it's really been the high point of my frustrations with where the future of the game lies. That's the sole reason that I could ever take the smallest enjoyment from seeing the Scum win it - at least they didnt disgrace the game of football on their way to the final.

Also, I agree with everything you said about them - there's a ton of Scum players that are just that, pure f*cking sh*t. But there have been many who arent. Scholes has always been a sh*thead, and Rio's not really the brightest bulb in the box. There have been many players, however, between both clubs, that have been fabulous footballers. And many left on agreeable terms, for very profitable fees.

I guess I just cant swallow the fact that the world would rather fawn over the likes of Pedro, Messi, Xavi, etc. rather than someone like Antonio Valencia, Ryan Giggs, and Javi Hernandez, who are fantastic footballers with good characters.

Let me see...

They're a football club, and Leeds is a football club.
The forum is titled "General" chat, not "Leeds Specific" chat.
If you would've read the previous posts, you would've seen a connection to it "having to do with us."
The thread title specifically said this was a threat about the Scum. What else you expect?

Rocket science? Or are you just trying to make an irrelevant point and get yourself some strangely misguided attention?

thing is mate, then we are involved. thought you had the brains to figure out that yerself. What scum does in the CL against schalke is pointless and has no place on a Leeds forum. People should stop the jealous behavior and concentrate on the team that matter

It's called a message board, heres the thing, it's too discuss anything and everything. Don't like it or the subject matter, go bollocks then. No one forces you to get upset about the various posts.

Personally I find it strange that some folk waste energy complaining about posts, strange world we live in eh? :roll:

Oh, and in answer to your stupid post, no im not jealous, certainly not of scum! Also, I think it was me that called him a ginger tosser! Why, cos although he has skill, he's a cheating cnut that thinks he can do what he likes. That last tackle could have ended a players career, but hey, he's skillfull so we can excuse that... Right?

As to your supposition that we could do with a player like that, for the record I called Bowyer a thuggish little prick when he was her and i'd do the same to the ginger tosser. You want to bang one out over such scum then feel free to fukc off and support them. After all they are doing a tad better than us!

Go fu*ck yourself Armley,too many on here think there opinion is the only one that
counts,put it on the back of a stamp what some of you know,and know i don't hate
United,i played and at an high level all my career,and when you've done that you
appreciate good football,obviously your one of the sheep who follow the crowd
and if you admit or not most of it is down to jealousy.
