What a patronising pile of ****

It's hard to say the word Barnsley in an upbeat kind of way isn't it? Even for those people trained to smile when they speak on the telephone, it's almost impossible to say it without invoking thoughts of grim scenes on the South Yorkshire coalfield of old. It's a bit like Goole. You try saying that and remain smiling...

For Leeds United supporters it's even worse. Never mind that we finally managed to beat Barnsley at Elland Road this season, our away form at the mighty
Oakwell Stadium has been truly shocking. The 5-2 was bad enough - especially with such huge away support that evening and having taken the lead so early on - but last season's 4-1 defeat was almost worse. We simply didn't play and, regardless of what was going on in Simon Grayson's dressing room at the time - whether he'd lost it or simply substituted it for a cupboard - a number of senior players just couldn't be bothered.

Nothing galls (try saying that and Goole at the same time) followers of LUFC more than players who don't try. We have had many bad days and heavy defeats like those down the road but as long as we do our best, then it may be worrying but it's not (and never is) terminal. Grinding out results is acceptable, even though we'd rather see quality football, but throwing in the towel and just not bothering to justify your vast wages or those of so many of us ordinary souls, who pay so much to watch the team, is unforgiveable. On that note, good to see that, according to Sky, Paul Connolly is being sought after by other clubs as I write this. For me he just didn't care about our club enough.

Keith Hill has gone now, of course, and I felt a bit sorry for him. Miracles aren't just for Christmas and he was trying to perform them every week on half-a-crown and a cup of Bovril. Sean O'Driscoll has apparently turned them down already, probably because he fears that going on a winning streak might get him the sack. It's also reported that Terry Butcher has preferred to stay at Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Maybe Barnsley is just too short a name?

from we all Love Leeds (well theyu do when they are winning)

 

They all seem to be gloating at the moment especially the Barnsley "whites".....I hope they get it rammed right down their throats tomorrow.

 

I'd love to sit this chap down with a map of Leeds and we could have a good convo about the truly depressing sh*t holes that make up his fabulous metropolis.

 

No surprises from a Leeds fan there. Thinks he knows a lot. Doesn't really. All round **** lad.

 

What you mean er Leeds.

 

What always makes me laugh is this big City attitude.

Big is not beautiful.......anyone like to move to Seacroft, Meanwood, Armley, Cross Green, Killingbeck, etc. ?

SH!TE HOLES the lot of 'em

 

'orrible place and deluded gobshite fans who think Premiership clubs in the Manchester and Chelsea areas are their local rivals.

 

As someone who has recently moved back home to Barnsley and has worked in Leeds now and again for 4 years and full time as of last Monday.

Decent centre, but a massive s***hole.

Nothing worse than a Barnsley white. Even more than a Florkie.

If u need to know Florkie (flakey Yorkshireman),is what my manc man u fan mate calls a man u fan from Yorkshire. People from Lancashire see us as rivals and like to have a go, Yorkshiremen don't seem as proud to be from Yorkshire.

 

Harehills, Chapeltown, Gipton - all fecking sheitholes. Town centre's nice, rest is a fecking dump.

 

"Nothing galls fans of LUFC more than players that don't try" - I think that applies to all football fans

 

The ones that really wind me up are those folk who post on the We Are Barnsley facebook page who are from Barnsley but slag off the club and call us dingles because they support Wednesday or Leeds. Not the sharpest tools in the box to not realise it also makes them a dingle.

 

Nah, there's some lovely places in Leeds. Bramhope, Adel, Rodley to name a few.

 

Beaston, Little London, Holbeck....the list is literally endless.

 

And more chips on their shoulder than Harry Ramsden's
