Warnock Blames the Fans of Leeds for Poor Performances

You have to give Old Big Gob ten out of ten for cheek! Listen to him! “How many teams have won six on the trot? Not many." True Neil, but nor have Leeds. Those six wins on the trot have been interspersed with four away defeats in the league on the bounce, and a home thrashing in the Capital One Fan Cup! Six wins on the trot would have seen Leeds bound up the table and probably occupy an automatic promotion place. But where are Leeds? Eleventh!

He continues:  "We have bounced back all season long. The most difficult thing about management is getting a drubbing." Has he remembered the Chelsea game belatedly? Nope. He's going back to Watford! “We got thrashed by Watford and that was probably the worst 90 minutes of my career." What worse than the hammering at home to Forest last season Neil? Or worse than Shafting United's defeat against Wigan as Tevez fired West Ham to victory at Old Trafford. How the memory of old pain fades over time!

He philosophises, “It took me a little bit of getting over. But what do you do? Do you listen to them and chuck it in? Or do you organise yourself and think, ‘Let’s go again?'" Listen to who Neil? The fans? You know, that scum who know nothing about the game and demand that the football served up by the team is half way decent?

He adds: “That is what you do as a manager and that is what I will do as long as I am here. We want to win games and get up the table.” The trouble is, that's not what Neil has done. Leeds are still lower in the table than when he took over. Wanting to win is not enough. Everybody wants to win. But three points are not secured based on just wanting.

Now he turns on the fans: “It is easy to criticise. But in the second half, when the fans relaxed and got behind us, I felt the players relaxed. First half, it was almost like they were expecting a mistake or a goal by Bristol City. I could sense that on the touchline. But the lads reacted in the right way. They got hold of the ball." So it was the fault of the fans that Leeds went in at half time drawing with the team bottom of the Championship!

He then reveals: “I said to them at half-time, ‘It is a brave player who gets hold of the ball’. That is what we did. We wanted the ball." Bloody hell, now there's a novelty! Dangerous of course, being round, it might have been a bomb! Brave indeed, playing against the team bottom of the table, to actually want the ball!

He continues: “You can’t please everyone, even when you have six wins. They would rather play like Real Madrid and lose." Who are 'they" exactly? The fans again? Those contemptible idiots who pay to be entertained? And another thing Neil, Leeds couldn't play like Real Madrid could they? I mean, the likes of Brown and Austin are not exactly Galacticos are they? But if Leeds did play like Real Madrid it is unlikely that they would lose against the likes of Barnsley and Bristol City.

Warnock then comes out with a stunning revelation! “But the Championship is a hard league and you are playing against different opposition every week." Bloody hell, different opposition Neil? Who would have thought it! How bloody unfair. Surely Leeds should be allowed to pick just the one team and play them every week. Who would it be Neil? Peterborough? Leeds actually won at London Road! Or Huddersfield?

Then comes an amazing assessment: “The most difficult games are when you play against Bristol City, who will get some points now Sean’s gone in."  Bristol City at home? The most difficult game? That's the same Bristol City that are bottom of the table having shipped 55 goals is it? Amazing. Mind you, Neil should be careful suggesting that changing a manager results in improved performances, he might give Sharia Law Capital ideas!

He concludes: "So, to come away with the points and knowing where we are in the league while we try to strengthen, the glass should be half-full, not half-empty, just like the stadium on match days!"

So don't blame Neil! He's won six games on the bounce, you just haven't noticed! And if you want to know why Leeds struggled on Saturday, it was the fault of the fans whose anxiety paralysed the team and down to the cowardice of the players. Neil is doing a great job. Just ask him!

  1. Looking at your blog archive you clearly have more concerns for Leeds United than you do for WHUFC. Either you're a confused Leeds fan or WHUFC are not fulfilling your footy needs.You needs to give your head a shake and make a choice.

  5. Eleventh, seventh, no difference. Top 6 count, rest of no significance. Five points adrift of sixth place with a goal difference that is like a lost point.

    But you are right in your estimation. This is yet another pathetic pice of propaganda by Warnock. How else can you explain the claim that Leeds have won six games on the bounce? And yes, Warnock's words may well wind up the Leeds fans!

  7. Brilliant! I couldn’t have written it better myself and I admit to being one of the guilty ones who felt a tad anxious on Saturday and, as a result was probably a bit subdued (not to mention bloody freezing cold) but I’m sure that Neil will accept my sincere apologies for not entirely being convinced by his commitment, intention or desire at my beloved football club. As a supporter of the club for over forty years I am truly bemused at Warnock’s belligerence and apparent apathy toward the real people who matter, the rank and file masses of Warnock’s “They”, the people who turn up week in and week out and pays hard earned cash to watch their club. Neil, you are a transient caller at OUR club and one who displays no passion or interest in Leeds United or its loyal fans and there comes a time when all visitors must bid farewell to their hosts. Don’t leave it too long Colin.

  10. OMG - Why are you posting about your own manager.

    http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/West-Ham-Sam-Allardyce-again-labels-fans-deluded-over-complaints-about-style-of-play-article884407.html

    Headline reads - Allardyce gives "deluded" West Ham fans another dose

    At the end of the day mate, we don't always like the way our team plays football - BUT! it's were we are at the end of the season that counts. At the end of the day - Big Sam and Neil Warnock are 2 peas in the pod.... Old score, long ball managers.

    The only reason you find it so easy to write this article is because you lot moan more than us at your own manager - get a grip!

  13. I commented the other day I went for the first time in eight years with my daughter of eleven and it was her first game at a football match.

    What I relaised is what you have been saying all year is in fact true, we were very disappointing, the fans have turned away only 18,000 un thinkable, no atmosphere, the south stand very quiet, the cop only a few songs, even when we scored all low key with excitement. The club needs a reall change.

    It's not just down mr bates its un attractive football, playing our best player Ross Mac on the left wing, at times him and bechs may have been glued together chasing the same balls

    Neil for me needs to go, sorry

  20. Not only is the armchair hammer a fraud, but also a few of these toadying comments on these posts agreeing with the bleeding obvious. The armchair hammer does not have or ever has had a"valid point" and has never been "on the money." A,H never says anything new or remotely contentious,he merely studies NewsNow for the consensus then puts a twisted twist to it. It's an insight into a deeply flawed personality. See how he reacts when his 6th form journalistic skills are exposed? He has a few friends/fellow patients who go along with the emperors new clothes ruse on his w,ham site. He probably has to call them Admiral or superman in return.

  22. Funny, the comments made at 1821, 2024, 1641, 1635 and 1623 all come from the same address. A word of warning guys, in view of death threats and other foul abuse relating to my family, addresses are now showing to the administrator. Things have become so serious that the police are involved. Some might be receiving a knock on the door over the next couple of weeks and the matter is being taken very seriously indeed. Threats to stab me and my family and claims that my identity and address are known will result in prison sentences I am told.

  23. Well the only comment on here at 16.23 is one of your own,so you're either thicker than we thought or you're trying to find a way out of a losing battle. If indeed you were receiving threats,i think the first piece of advice you'd recieve would be to stop inciting opposing supporters. Even an ill educated moron like yourself should grasp that. You should've thought about your family ages ago also. I myself have even remarked on what your family must think of your activities. My advice to you would be to bow out gracefully because if you or anyone else should go to court your full identity WILL become known. I myself have considered reporting you,infact certain people ARE looking into the various racial aspects of your so called "football blogs".

  24. Death threats ARE crossing the line..bit of banter and name calling..fine...death threats what?...
    HF is probably the nicest bloke you will ever meet, well maybe not , but he might be!, yeah he winds us up, but death treats ...cmon

    It is funny but I have been supporting Leeds for 40 odd years and this must be one of the lowest points, it wasn't as bad as this in league one. I remember going when were bottom of division two with Bremner as manager but we always had hope. GFH seem to voiceless, warnock seems so hopeless, Bates has knocked the stuffing out of us year on year...until everyone has just had enough..

    The whole club and city don't seem to be bothered any more, a sad state of affairs.

    Maybe I should listen to Warnock and been more glass half full?

    We would be better closing the place down and starting again in the local leagues.

    How is that for optimism !! haha

    1. An unwise threat in the circumstances. Apparently by publishing a warning, I "thicken the line" you have just crossed. You clearly do not understand the law. Issuing personal threats and inciting violence is a criminal offence in the UK.

      Delete
    2. Hammersfan, while you start getting all nervous in your pants about idiots threatening you and your's consider this.

      Despite these threats, you continue to obsess about Leeds United and Warnock.

      Reason being, you need Leeds more than you need any other club, West Ham included, to get the level of HITS to your blogging that you do.

      With this level of hits comes the colateral damage that follows, being, a certain ratio of idiots who will make threats.
      In summary, you provoke the masses, you face the damage.

      Delete
    3. Why should "Collateral damage" follow? I do not feel the need to threaten violence when somebody expresses an opinion, no matter how much I may disagree with that opinion.

      Delete
    4. Why should Collateral damage follow?Its the same analogy as why do some West Ham fans chant racial abuse and why do some Leeds fans run onto the field and push a goalkeeper over....because not everyone is as clever as they should be and your insessant attacks on such a big club as Leeds will result on an idiot faction emerging in the responses .
      If you can't see it coming then I simply dont believe you. So that means you do know its coming, so stop complaining after pulling the Tigers tail when you get bitten.

  36. Here's some Stats on Hammersfan's writings.
    last 5 leeds blogs have this number of readers comments 58,32,35,74 and 56
    Last 5 West Ham blogs have 6,15,25,4 and 24.

    Sadly the Leeds articles are total nonsence blogs designed to provoke and wind up and the West Ham ones are quite relevant footballing comment.
    Conclusion

    Comments are relative to hits therefore 255 Leeds comments v 74 West Ham comments in the last 5 blogs tell us one thing clearly
    We know why Leeds are so important to Hammersfan.

    1. But comments are not relative to hits. The article on Vydra and Watford had more hits than two of the Leeds articles but less comments. The Nolan article on the West Ham site had more hits than 3 of the Leeds articles you mention.

  37. It is interesting that this site and the West Ham site get roughly equal hits which kind of disproves your argument. Well over 3 million hits on the West Ham site now.

    Odd idea that expressing opinions is an excuse for violence. That applies in dictatorships, not in democracies.

    1. 3 million hits on the WH site, maybe you should spend more time concentrating on that then seeing as it's your team?
      Also stop trying to justify your posts as being merely "opinions", you yourself have admitted they are premeditated attempts to get peoples goat. If you were stood face to face with a fan of any of the teams you've poured your pius "opinions" on and spoke to him in the same sarcastic manner in which you post on here, you would expect to receive a slap.
      Wot you are getting back on here in terms of threats and such is totally wrong, but it's not surprising when you're trying to preach to the masses......Wot's that old saying? You reap wot you sow!

    2. Interesting indeed. As you know Hammersfan 'this site v the west Ham site' has only existed a month. Prior to that it was all in one. I suggest 90% of those who visit this site are Leeds fans, and 60% of the same Leeds fans then flip over to the West Ham site to see what you have written there.
      Put these Hit stats together and where would EITHER site be without the Leeds fans?

    3. I know, the growthof this site from a base of zero has been huge. News Now changed their ususl rules and carried this site from inception - usually a new site has to wait 6 months before being carried on their boards.

      Your argument doesn't wash I'm afraid. I can track how many flip from this site to the West Ham site and vice versa. Also, I can identify sources (and now IP addresses) for all visitors. Check out the West Ham News Now Board and you will see my site tops the Board. As this table copied from the site shows:

    4. Very interesting indeed, however I'm sorry but your answer doesnt support this argument. You say you can check how many jump from one site to the other, however you dont show these figures. This is the sole issue here.
      Leeds supporters are responsible for more total hits then any other body of responders.Can you deny this?
      I reiterate, I predict 90% of all those on the Leeds side are Leeds fans.I also predict a great number of those go to the other site. You have admited that its around 50-50 for hits on both sides. I'm afraid I stand by what I said. You need Leeds supporters for the overall popularity of your site(s).

  42. Like i said earlier armchair hammer you've brought it all upon yourself. Remember when you used to run to the pub as a child to get your mam after you were badly stung by wasps? Your mam would ask you what you did to antagonise them and you would reply- "we was pwodding them wiv this stick see" and your ma would reply "well dahnt facking do it you fick wally,now get back to school". It was a lesson that unfortunately went unheeded as you went straight down to the river to wade through the mud flats looking for scrap. In one ear and straight out the other as there aren't any obsticles.

  43. The total helmet is the guy who posted that he knew my name and that he was going to "knife" my family. He knows who he is. The police now know who he is. He now knows the police know who he is because he was arrested under caution at 11am this morning.

OK, the take over has happened but is it the take over any of you wanted or expected? How about Warnock's signings? Have they transformed you? What about the quality of your football or your promotion prospects? Come on, what have I called wrong? So what is my crime exactly? I'm right 99% of the time?

  47. You've got so much wrong with your Leeds/Warnock obsession blogs,its not even funny.

    Some train spotter may go back over your blogs and list everything you said that was either nonsence or an extreme exaggeration and that list would be long indeed. Don't talk crap about 99% of what you say is right. That is not true.
    When you make statements like this it negates any credibility you ocassionally demonstrate with your reasoned and thought out blogs.
    ( All too few unfortunately)
