i have a arsenal joke
why do fans of arsenal always say they are going to win the league at the start of the season

answer
because they start there for a whole mouth {Ed013's Note - Poor mate}

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Utter drivel. You started badly tailed off in the middle less said about ending the better. Otherwise, you are Sellers reborn. That's Peter. Not Scott.

A touch of the blackadde I notice

I feel sick.

for me its gotta be becchio and somma up front with mccormack playin in the hole behind em we never going to keep a clean sheet so lets outscore everyone

27 Dec 2012 21:01:51
Forest appoint McLeish as their new manager. Things could be worse lads!

yeah i would like to know what the joke was between kenny and brown when we were four one down cos it wernt funny to me !! perhaps they would like to tell us all !! mot nickybee

Completely agree mate, thought the same at the time

Think some of the rumours on here are old hat. Some of these so called targets were Grayson's. Surely Warnock as different targets to Grayson. One thing is for sure though we need some talent, talent that costs money not loanees.

very bad day yesterday,but lets move on... bad team selection yesterday i thought,austen was far from fit and brown is just a joke (who else saw him and kenny laughing there socks of when we were 4-1 down!) EHD was chasing shadows and beccio was not up for the challenge? i think mccormack and norris need to come in on saturday. we then need to buy a few players in january. people also saying how the loan players have made a impact,well of what i saw yesterday, thomas was poor and tate was looking very overweight and slow.

Lay off Becchio he's had a good season and he is having to Play just about every game because of the fact that we don't have any other stiker who can hold the ball up like he does, to say he's not up to the challenge is an insult to him, he defends corners better than our centre Halfs, and at present is our best striker.

The service to becchio was poor when he gets the service he shine,s

If we have money 2 sign quality players why do people on here keep suggestin scottish dummies?

Oh yeah stupid Scottish dummies have you forgot some are greatest players were from scotland only last season are best player was Snodgrass a scot. Oh and yeah who is that statue of outside elland road, yeah a scot the great Billy bremner!

Yes your right mate such as
Bremner
E. Gray
Strachan
McAllister
Lorimer
Matteo
McQueen
Jordan
Harvey

To name just some of the Scottish sh-t we have had at ER in the past
if I was you I would now be feeling like a right tit

27 Dec 2012 19:58:54
Yes,the problem is most of those listed would still get a game for most scottish sides

Templeton is decent. pace skill and an eye for goal and he's Scottish from what I've seen of him he'd be better than snodgrass {Ed013's Note - He has it too easy at Rangers and has personnel problems so I cant see him moving away}

27 Dec 2012 21:32:47
Just remind me which scot clubs did we sign billy,eddie,lorimer,strach,mac,matteo n that famous englishman harvey from?

Now we've signed Ryan hall is there any chance he might get a game. Him down one wing and extend Thomas loan on the other wing with green plus someone creative in the middle and I think that's a decent midfield. I'd drop diouf and start rossco, with becchio and somma rotating upfront. So really it's our defence as per usual which is the problem, I've never been a fan of lees, and his performances this season haven't really done anything th change my mind. We need a good left back with pace, byram on the right, with Pearce plus a signing in the middle, I don't think Tate is the answer, he is a good pro but he's not got the pace. And I'd find ourselves anothe number 1 tbh. I'm not expecting to go out and splash millions but a few decent shrewd signings and we can push for promotion this season. Providing warnock gets his tactics right, and makes substitutions at the right time. Not when we are 4.1 down. Northampton white. #mot

Do you honestly beleive NW will get a new no1 ? seriously

Why drop diouf?!? He is a great player who fights for the club. He constantly gets stuck and plays very professionally taking his time in the ball and never rushing making horrendous passes like others. He may not score many but he helps build up play and helps the team out on a whole.

I suppose paddy comes in warnocks contract so I guess we won't be getting rid. I know we've been on a run lately but the standard of football has been woeful, as it had been since warnock took over. If I was the new owners I'd get rid and bring someone new in with fresh ideas who doesn't play long ball crap. Northampton white.

Diouf should be on the bench or the right wing . he's not as prolific in front of goal as Ross or somma and at the end of the day we need two or three strikers scoring regular not just becchio. sorry but diouf doesn't cut it as a striker Karl mot

I question the selection by NW also but i do thinkg some people are a little harsh. especially with the brown thing. I also think he has past it but every now and again he puts in a solid performance. you cant say that you didnt expect him to fill the hole left by Tonge. He's cleary match fit in comparison to the likes of austin. Green could have stepped into the middle but he is scoring goals on the right so its a no brainer to keep him their. Personally i thing NW put too much faith in our team yestersay - though that we could get a result and carry austin whilst he gets his fitness back. IMO he made too many changes. Pleased to see Somma back but i cant help but feel for McCormack. He needs a run in the team. Norris must be disappointed also. Id also cut Drury some slack. he did have a poor game but i think that due to lack of match practice. NW choosing to play Peliter out of position at LB whereas drury has played there for the last decade for Norwich. One final thing. NW better hurry up with his decisions over thomas and tate. their loan finsishes next wednesday.

We are leeds we will bounce back especially with warnock brought in 2 loan signing and fortunes turn for leeds. wait till end of jan a few additions and we'll be bouncing straight back in the bit time by end of the season!

27 Dec 2012 18:32:33
exactly his 2 loan signing having done to badly bit of faith things could be alot worse, we are in and around the playoff places and if we go on another good run we will be in them!

After watching Chelsea game and yesterdays performance cannot understand what is going through Warnock's mind. Against Chelsea we played it on the deck and at times looked a good footballing outfit able to compete with the second best club side in the world (supposedly). Yesterday we never strung more than three passes together and seemed content to hoof the ball down the middle in the hope that Becchio or Diouf could get lucky. As for bringing an unfit Austin into the side in place of Norris and then replace him with Pearce WTF. If anything it should have been Brown on the bench if Austin was to play. Obviously there is some disagreement between McCormack and Warnock because surely if fit he should be on from the start or at least given a chance to prove his worth. Instead of which he was introduced after Somma and with only 10 minutes left. I feel he will be let go this transfer window which will be a shame. Lets hope yesterday was a hangover day and we can get back to winning ways. Interesting now to see who he picks for the Hull game.
We can still turn this round and make the play-offs if the right players are brought in in January and the right players are allowed to move on. MOT Keep the faith !

I've been saying for the last few games that Thomas is a lazy footballer who isn't good enough to be lazy. I really hope we don't sign him, get someone younger and hungrier, even if that means bringing Mad Max back.

Dazz

Thomas has pace but seems scared to use it. Every time he gets the ball and should attack full backs he slows down and cuts back onto his right foot. His confidence must be low

Thomas skinned forest RB every time and put a good delivery in did his job well dunno why everyones moaning about him!

The only downfall is that he only seems to have 60mins in him, he runs out of steam after that.

27 Dec 2012 17:17:11
Thomas is also scared to jump up for a header against someone for some reason he always backs out

He also rivals Ashley Young for the amount of dives on the floor that are just way over the top.
Atleast Diouf looks like he's being tacked when he goes down

27 Dec 2012 10:31:26
in the jan sales need lb then peltiier can concerntrate on rb givin bypham right wing .need to spend 2mill on cm a quality player who can steady the ship hold, and actually pass the ball.why isnt macormac starting .bechio cant play unless he gets service of crosses or midfeld spark.cant decide bout central defence would good midfield take pressure of defence that may be good enough?

dont know wot brown was laughing at 4-1 down on 84 mins people pay good money to watch that and he stands there laughing plus he is rubbish dirty and he pulls out of 50-50 [kez1919]

I thought that mate. Him and kenny having a laugh. Get rid of both i say. Nothing funny about losing 4-1.

Totally agree mate I was disgusted with them both, get rid of brown though not kenny...

was at the forest game. i really am struggling to see how neil warnock has brought leeds utd forward from the days of simon grayson. we are in exactly the same shape we was in 12 months ago, conceding goals like there's no tomorrow. we have no particular style of play we just seem to put in average performances and our biggest problem seems to be not being able to retain posession at key times hence why we concede to many goals. i dont know about a striker mr warnock. ross mccormack sat on the bench who we all know has the ability to score goals lets look at a decent centre midfielder instead of playing an overage no footballing ability of michael brown. bring on january, this team in desperate need of freshening up

Was there too, first away game for a while, in the forest end, cannot believe how poor we were. If warnock thinks we only need one or two players then he is dillusional! Some of his decisions tactically were so bad and you could see from the very start of the game that this was way too early for Austin to be playing. Simple fact is that we should not now be getting battered every now and then Watford, derby and now forest, we should be getting results in these games.

Sadly the new owners think he is the messiah. God help us

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

Same old rubbish... Seven minutes of madness cost us the game?! What about the 70 minutes of madness before warnock made any decent tactical changes?
