And once again the Leeds fans were doing that horrible chant "Leeds are falling apart again" The sooner that gets consigned to the rubbish bin the better.

The first time I heard that, Bolton under TC I believe it was, I hated it. Left us wide open for ridicule when it went wrong.

After Tyler Robrts scored the second goal I clearly heard
Du du du du Tyler Robert's so the fans seemed to have swapped allegiances.

I always find it amusing how teams chant that if they score against us, rather than sing about their own team. It's obviously not saying much if they can only score if we "fell apart".

It's a tinpot Huddersfield chant btw.

Some of the play in the second half was outrageous, just goes to show what this team can do when there’s not a ten man wall 18 yards out from goal

It was premiership stuff, almost Real Madrid-esque

nah , f**k the lot of em , when we're promoted i'll be singing it out loud amongst other victorious songs . f**k the efl and the others .
the sleeping giants have finally have awaken !!!!! we're coming home !

[1964white]

Phillips - 7 - Quiet and not sure he was fully fit, good game though and he'll get the coach vote so that's something

No chance of that

I wasn't on the coach today

[YorkshireSquare]

like i've said , your a wrong un.

i'm willing to meet up and say that to your face ??

This is a friendly forum, we keep our debates civil here, well most of the time.

[weasel]

Again, very probably but the fact stands ..never got a chance here. Had Hibs playing good football back end of last season..

Took over a Barnsley team that were flying and well on their way to promotion. They got promoted but the longer he stayed the more it appeared his influence dragged them down. Were sinking fast when he left.

At Leeds took over a stuttering team and had nothing about him to change that. If Klich had been recalled he may as well have changed his name to Crick as he would have suffered a crick in the neck watching all the long balls. Usual trick of a new manager with no tactical nous is to come in and slag the fitness levels of and make the players work hard in training. The fans gobble it up saying I told you they weren't giving it 100% etc.

At Hibs it was the same as with Barnsley. He took over a team doing well and they carried on doing well for a while. As with Barnsley though once his ideas and tactics started taking over the team plummeted.

Thankfully because of how poor he was the board here were looking to replace him and got Bielsa. If the board had kept faith in him then I dread to think where we would be now and how dire the football would have been.

We have made a stick for our own backs with that chant. It does more harm than good, when teams score a goal against us and the opposition fans start chanting that. It must be very demoralising for the players.

But some fans defend it because it is ironic and paradoxical since it seems to suggest that were are falling apart but still we are beating you 4-0... wait till you see us when we hit top form.

A simple shift in semantics and it would be both more powerful acceptable.

LEEDS ARE RIPPING YOU APART AGAIN

This would silence the opposition fans and also encourage our own players

I dont agree with the sentiment of the original post either but no need to offer someone out over it.

We've won four ina row, second in the table, one point off top. Why we having a pop at each other?

An awesome victory gone to some folks heads, and being intoxicated by the result, have over imbibed in certain fermented beverages, to such a degree that the excessive use of expletives, is considered to be the height of repartee... that would be my guess.

Leeds will tear you apart again has a better ring to it

One of the most interesting things today was the storybabout Bielsa calling a team meeting right afyer the Forest loss. Not sure if it was that evening or on the Monday afterwards, perhaps someone could clarify.

In any case it was superb management and also cooincided with Bielsa handing out the hugs in subsequent games.

Inspirational. Actions like that can lift the whole team.

Top class in fairness let’s hope we can keep it up. Momentum swinging our way, we play football that can go on a long winning run again

The thing with Bielsa as a manager, he doesn’t say much, but when he does it means something. Whatever was said has rallied the players anyway, what a man, not without his flaws but he will get this team up no matter what

I'll refer you and others to Rab's point that, it's not only at the club but also on forums that positivity breeds positivity, that includes Paddy observations.
