Have you guys seen the weird video of those tottingham/ Ars southern types (harry Kane,? wiltshire etc saying time to go Massimo on a site linked to our Massimo time to go campaign?

It is weird and what has it got to do with spurs/ arsenal, like er why are they interested and why would we listen to them?

Could be a spoof but carried by ITV as well as London Metro so it is them saying it for sure, odd very odd.

20 Apr 2016 22:02:55
That video is so obviously doctored. I got the app on my phone that can do that. Another non story for the timetogo Massimo brigade to latch on to. But back here in the real world .

If Wiltshire or Arsenal are behind this I love mc even more. I hate Arsenal and I am one of these southern types.

21 Apr 2016 02:01:37
Southern Aussie here too BW! Southern types? So funny!

21 Apr 2016 08:31:33
It's a strange one but how can it be doctored when the players are actually saying it?
They might have used very good impersonators LOL.

21 Apr 2016 09:43:00
Nothing wrong with us Leeds loving southern softies.

21 Apr 2016 10:35:00
Southern types comment was just referring to the players in question (on the video) playing for those 2 London clubs (based in the south) that's all (if you read the post that is how it reads, not a general southern comment) as in why would those players in London who play for other teams be that worried about us, why would they do a vid? .

Chill out BW and Ausman don't be soooo sensitive bout where ya live ha ha (oh and before you say I have lived both in London and the land of Oz, for 6 years but was born in the center of the Universe, er Birmingham)

Living in Leeds now but always supported Leeds as a kid when I was in Oz as loved the white kit and when came back just kept supporting them. So I have been called an Aussie, a pom, a brummieeee, a southern p*** and Virgil (cause I used to dance like one of those puppets off Thurderbirds) amongst many worst things so I think you guys can handle living in the South/ South hemisphere.

Another bull story giving these Muppets more publicity.

21 Apr 2016 11:21:57
Birmingham? Poor thing!

21 Apr 2016 11:40:53
no offence taken DG I agree with the point as well what the hell has it got to do with spurs arnsenal who we keep etc. very odd and they can go away.

21 Apr 2016 12:53:11
just seen my post has been editied as it was slightly stronger than go away as I am sure you can imagine. well done eds keeping this family freidnly however arsenal can GO AWAY.

{Ed001's Note - I am sure they would be delighted to do so Berm.}

21 Apr 2016 17:20:27
few things I feel passionate about ed and my hate for arsenal is one of them, my hate for them is far greater than my love for my family.

Celtic looking to snap Steve Evans up.
From a personal view I was shocked to hear of his signing last October, but bar some shocking loses he's steadied the ship and we're looking set for our best finish in 10 years!
Pull your finger out Cellino and put some money where Evans mouth is, keep him and see if we can mount the promotion challenge we all crave
All Leeds aren't weeeeeeee.

20 Apr 2016 16:55:03
There are three or four names who are higher than Evans in the pecking order to get the Celtic job. A mate of mine who is a Celtic fan says the name he is hearing the most being linked to the job is Neil Lennon coming back as he has just left Bolton and he was quite successful last time.

20 Apr 2016 11:26:07
Well regardless if you are pro or anti SE, I think he has every justification in thinking he deserves a chance next season. He also ticks a box that MC will like in that he doesn't think we need to spend a fortune on new players. Personally I think MC will want a change, but he may just decide to sell Lewis Cook and allow SE to spend the proceeds.

20 Apr 2016 12:37:42
I'm in the pro big steve camp. He's almost performed a miracle this season, bought in some quality players and, on occasions, got us playing some wonderful free flowing footie and working as a unit, not individuals.
Like all managers, he talks carp on a regular basis. I believe that he's only trying to keep team morale up by keeping them motivated. All managers especially after a loss look for positives when talking to the media. Wenger and Fergie being the worst culprits for this. I hoping behind closed doors big steve has a go at the team.
Keep big steve on for another year at least and I predict a few more of his signings we'll see top 6 next season then MC won't have to refund the ST holders.

20 Apr 2016 14:18:18
Speedy and Lucas
SE has turned it around. He's a much better manager when gob is shut. I think the players would like to see him again next season and the stability that would bring. If Cellino wasn't such a loony tune he'd be entering into contract talks with Fatty around about now.

20 Apr 2016 15:56:49
Agree keep him he is doing a ok job probably the best manager we have had for a while, if you listnen to his radio interviews seems to be trying to get our support hope MC gives him a go and give him some money to strenghten the squad.

20 Apr 2016 16:01:43
I think Big Stevie E is a good manager. When he first came in his passion and enthusiasm were admirable and a breath of fresh air. The only thing that's let him down in my opinion is his desire for a new contract has taken over and he's started spouting off rubbish about players not performing etc to feather his own nest.

He's let himself down a bit BUT, he is probably the best manager we've had for a long time and with Cellino as chairman, you can't blame the guy for being a bit paranoid. Give the guy the contract he deserves and a fair crack at the job.

If he's allowed to leave, it will certainly be our loss and another championship club's gain in my opinion.

Anyway I'm off out to spend last night's winnings. Old Rosie is calling me from 'spoons.

MM.

i loved him before he signed, was well happy when he signed then went right off him due to poor results and performances and he kept making the same mistakes (again why change a winning team for huddlesfield game a real gripe of mine, why play cook and mowatt on wings, why play ant and wood with no support) however things have turned round again.

I do think he is good but would hope for better in perfect world, he seems to of learnt from mistakes so let's see how final three games go. if we keep him it will certainly not be a bad move he has been best since larry.

20 Apr 2016 19:23:30
Ah Larry Larry Larry.

20 Apr 2016 20:40:25
Collective sigh speedy. oh Larry Larry and mc would of been a good pairing with our old team but alas.

21 Apr 2016 02:05:03
Lazy larry.

21 Apr 2016 11:49:22
Aus watch it mate! don't make me and speedy get a flight to Aus to whoop your A""E, also when me and speedy are there we have no where to stay so can we stay with you please.

21 Apr 2016 11:49:40
only need one room me and speedy are happy to share x.

20 Apr 2016 09:48:06
Think MC is giving a clear indication of his aspirations for next year, we will know when we see the players recruited as we need about 6 to 8/ 9 players to be serious contenders ( 4 first choice and the others to strengthen the squad) . There are quite a number we could ship out to make way/ balance the wages

To all those want away players, I would think twice before leaving to go to a mid table or lower prem side. For that is a backward step for your career. But if you do go one thing you can look forward to is the highlight of a relegation fight.

20 Apr 2016 18:30:08
PA. I think if Cook, Mowatt or Taylor do go to lower level Premier League clubs they will all have something to look forward to, a bigger pay packet and that is why they'll leave. If not this summer then definitely next if we don't go up next season.

20 Apr 2016 00:26:03
Still not convinced. Bamba scores a stunner but looks average otherwise. Can't see him scoring again in that fashion. Distribution was poor and risky at times. We could and should have conceded two. Wood back to his old ways as expected. Not a consistent goal scorer. I remember Morison scoring twice in a game. Disappointed with Cook. Does it take a visit from a premiership manager to get him going. Seemed like he was playing to get himself a golden ticket to the premier league. He's been poor recently. Entertaining game but lacked the usual edge as both teams had nothing really to play for - Cook excepted. I think he's he off to pastures new.

20 Apr 2016 12:08:18
3 wins in a row and stats show we have being doing well in the 4or5 games before the 3 wins any positives to take hess.

20 Apr 2016 14:44:48
Positive result but not telling us too much given the situation with neither team anything to gain or lose. Just pointing out that Cook has not played well for weeks then suddenly he's a world beater. Reason perhaps - premier manager watching him. Bamba is at the very best average. We will always concede when he plays - with the odd exception. Looking for next season he shouldn't be here. He seems a nice chap and people like him but he's not a great footballer. That's why Leicester sold him and why he didn't get a lot of games before joining Leeds. Hope Cook will stay be but doubt it. He will say the right things about Leeds and then go. Positives? It was an entertaining game which we nearly threw away but enjoyable nevertheless. Does it tell us much about next season? - No. It's easier to play when there's no pressure. I like the two full backs; Dave; Cooper is much improved; Murphy has improved; Cook when he is on song but he is still has to learn; Silvestre once he learns to command his box. Not keen on Bamba, Wood; Mowatt (at the moment) , Carylon. Don't think Bridcutt will stay. The rest are squad players. Not trying to be positive or negative just making an observation.

Good honest post Hess!

20 Apr 2016 22:20:32
If your not positive or negative, does that make you neutral Hess?

21 Apr 2016 00:21:53
On this occasion. yes, but did you mean neutered?
